He corroborates accounts from other detainees, including reports of abuse by prison guards, inedible food, and zero access to the outdoors, religious services, or physical activity.
Joe Biden’s Justice Department notched another victory last week in the agency’s sprawling investigation into the January 6 protest on Capitol Hill against Biden’s presidency.
On Wednesday, Michael Curzio pleaded guilty to one count of parading, demonstrating, or picketing in the Capitol building. The government offered the plea deal to Curzio’s court-appointed attorney in June; Curzio faced four misdemeanor charges, including trespassing and disorderly conduct, for his role in the Capitol breach.
Curzio will pay the government “restitution” in the amount of $500 to help pay for the nearly $1.5 million in damages the building reportedly sustained. (The Architect of the Capitol initially said the protest caused $30 million in damages but prosecutors have set the figure far lower.)
The misdemeanor to which Curzio pleaded guilty carries a maximum penalty of six months in jail. But Curzio isn’t headed to jail any time soon. To the contrary, Curzio actually left jail on July 14.
Because he had already served six months in prison.
Curzio is one of nearly 100 defendants kept behind bars for months under pre-trial detention orders sought by federal prosecutors. (Not all have been housed in the D.C. jail.) In several instances, the defendants, like Curzio, aren’t accused of committing a violent crime.
But the Justice Department, with the consent of federal judges in Washington, D.C., repeatedly seeks to punish Americans for protesting the election of Biden by keeping them in jail awaiting trials that won’t begin until next year or until they accept a plea deal.

I agree. The Democrats control the electoral system. And no state is willing to do much more than sue the Feds in court. Secession is not going to happen so that leaves America in turtle position as you said.
Sad but America died 1/6. Americans in name only are on their own.
I would like to see an itemized list of the damages that add up to $1.5 million
“(The Architect of the Capitol initially said the protest caused $30 million in damages but prosecutors have set the figure far lower.)”
The Architect of the Capitol must have wanted to strip the entire interior because, you know, *those* people touched things. I’m surprised the prosecutors dialed it back. I wonder what was behind that.
There is a big electronic billboard near me outside of Raleigh, and they did run ads asking 1/6 snitches to come forward. No Big Brother though. At least not yet.
Not sure what you’re taking about?
2 windows, a mirror and a laptop for $1.5 million? That’s a bargain!
We are not Uganda. Buying our politicians costs a lot more!
Coming sooner than you think.
Call me skeptical. Show me the pictures, or better still, the video.
I can't do that but I went to DuckDuckGo and searched on "U.S. Capital Damage" and a number of photos came up. Looking through these, a number of them are repeats. There is very little damage shown in the photos.
Pelosi probably had the scuff mark on her desk repaired by her cousin in San Fransisco for $20,000. And put on a private jet to get it there.
And just think of all the scratches on the furniture that the guard piled up inside the doorway where he shot Ashli Babbitt.
Seriously though, where are the big-league attorneys who should be lining up for these open-and-shut cases of Constitutional violations?
Intimidated by the criminal usurping regime is where.
I wonder if Pelosi is sneaking her metal detectors in the bill.
It was. The Constitution breathed its last January 20 2021. Before that it was on life support. On January 20, 2021 they pulled the plug for good. The sheep continue pretending that nothing out of the ordinary happened on November 8,2020 or on January 6,2021 when the Democrat Party aided and abetted by the Republican Party Officially stole the election. On January 20, 2021 Joe, the Thief Biden along with Kamala Willie Brown’s whore Harris were ensconced in the White House with the approval of the Republican Party and the sheep. The sheep continue to pretend that Constitutional Government still exists and President Trump will be reinstated. It helps them to go along with the crimes that were committed easier. A/k/A, soothes their conscious.
