A factually incorrect narrative. Any of the J6 protesters who were in custody could have invoked their constitutional right to a speedy trial at any time of their confinement. To remain in custody means they waived their speedy trial rights.

Scumbag grifter Jake Lang did this. He used staying in jail to fundraise hundreds of thousands of dollars. Then took in money for a book he was going to publish - and published one chapter.
