It began with a nighttime raid fit for a drug kingpin surrounded by Dobermans and armed guards:
Thomas Caldwell’s wife awakened him in a panic at 5:30 a.m. on January 19.“The FBI is at the door and I’m not kidding,” Sharon Caldwell told her husband.
Caldwell, 66, clad only in his underwear, went to see what was happening outside his Virginia farm. “There was a full SWAT team, armored vehicles with a battering ram, and people screaming at me,” Caldwell told me during a lengthy phone interview on September 21. “People who looked like stormtroopers were pointing M4 weapons at me, covering me with red [laser] dots.”
Caldwell was dragged to the hood of a car, thrown upon it, and cuffed. His wife, 61, trying to put on her socks before being forced into the freezing cold, had the red dot on her the whole time.
Like many other January 6ers, Caldwell foolishly agreed to answer FBI questions without a lawyer because “I didn’t have anything to hide.” He’d done nothing wrong. They took every piece of electronics from his home, including stealing his family photos.
The Feds then charged Caldwell with six federal crimes, claiming he plotted an attack on the Capitol. So, into jail he went:
Caldwell spent 53 days in jail, 49 of them in solitary confinement. He could not access his medication to relieve excruciating back pain caused by spinal injuries Caldwell suffered while serving in the Navy. When prison guards asked why he was incarcerated, he said, “I’m a political prisoner because of January 6.”In prison, Caldwell said he suffered “sadistic brutality by some correctional officers and there was warmth and compassion, the latter by other employees and every single inmate.” His faith, he said, and the love of his wife sustained him. “I thought I would die in jail.”
Just as the First Amendment is gone in Biden’s America, so is the Sixth.
Caldwell was lucky enough to get a good, new attorney. He’s now under detention at home while still being accused as a central figure in a nothing of a case. And Kelly notes, as others have, that the FBI doesn’t seem to be charging people who were very active in making things happen, leading to the reasonable conclusion that those people are informants and agents.
And to those wondering why so many still languish in prison, it’s because they don’t have the money or the contacts to get a good criminal defense attorney. They’re either getting whoever the government gives them or the recent grad from “Do It By Mail School Of Law.”
Welcome to Biden’s America: Call it Oceania in 1984 or the Soviet Union in 1965. It doesn’t matter. The one thing it isn’t anymore is America 1776
Is there a reliable fund set up where we can donate funds for their attorneys? “Reliable” meaning all the funds will really be used for that purpose.
Biden Harris Pelosi trash the Constitution-
“The privilege of the Writ of Habeas Corpus shall not be suspended, unless when in Cases of Rebellion or Invasion the public Safety may require it.”
The Tucker Carlson insert is great! Everyone has probably already seen it, but I don’t have cable.
I wish Tucker had his own channel. I might watch TV again.
It’s a sad day when I like Vladimir Putin more than my own government.
I expect the Trump rallies to get bigger and bigger as a result.
Tuckers recap is worth the watch.
Two women died from violence directly or indirectly perpetrated by the federal government that day. Not just one.

It is.
The marxist left’s so called “insurrection,” was a citizens March on Washington for restoration of Constitutional Government.
What has this country come to?
