Former President Donald Trump and the J6 Prison Choir's single "Justice for All" has shot to the top of the iTunes music charts.
Trump teamed up with imprisoned Jan. 6 defendants earlier this week to release a charity single titled "Justice for All."
The officially released track debuted as a digital single and a vintage vinyl record on several streaming services.
The single features 20 men who are held in jail in Washington, D.C., singing the national anthem with Trump reciting the pledge of allegiance. The prisoners recorded their contributions through a jailhouse phone.
The single was designed to raise money for some of the defendants' families and call attention to concerns about equal application of the law.
"#1 on iTunes, thank you! #J6PC " the former president wrote on his platform TRUTH Social.
The former president has previously said he may pardon some of the Jan. 6 defendants should he return to the White House.
Proof? According to the article, it was the J6 choir that organized the entire thing. And how long did Trump's part take? All he did was record his voice reading the Pledge of Allegiance, from what I can tell. Most people can do that in 5 minutes with their phone.
J6 procedures
…and Pence’s part
Trump made the recording at Mar-a-Largo. The release is raising a lot of money for the defendants and drawing a lot of attention to the prisoners plight.
DeSantis hasn't done anything.
Most people believe those guilty of rioting and violence need to face justice. I already posted one of Trump’s lawyers Sidney Powell’s comments on that and she has done more for the innocent ones than probably anyone, especially Trump himself.
What has DeSantis said about the Jan. 6 insurrection?
U.S. Rep. Charlie Crist, a Democratic gubernatorial candidate, criticized Gov. Ron DeSantis for his “silence” on the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol.
“Ron DeSantis still hasn’t condemned the Jan. 6 insurrection,” Crist said in a tweet in late June. Crist has repeated such rhetoric at least seven times on Twitter.
Immediately after the attack, lawmakers — both Republicans and Democrats — publicly criticized the people who incited the violence.
DeSantis issued a statement on Jan. 6, 2021, condemning the Capitol riot: “Violence or rioting of any kind is unacceptable, and the perpetrators must face the full weight of the law.”
“It was totally unacceptable and those folks need to be held accountable,” DeSantis said. “It doesn’t matter what banner you’re flying under — the violence is wrong, the rioting and disorder is wrong.”
Although DeSantis denounced the violence and disorder on Jan. 6, 2021, he hasn’t called it an insurrection and has decried the media’s coverage.
On the anniversary of the Capitol riot, DeSantis likened Jan. 6 to “Christmas” for “D.C.-New York media,” saying the incident lets news outlets create “narratives that are negative” about former President Donald Trump’s supporters.
“They are going to take this and milk this for anything they could to try to be able to smear anyone who ever supported Donald Trump,” DeSantis said at a news conference.
“When they try to act like this is something akin to the Sept. 11 attacks, that is an insult to the people who were going into those buildings,” DeSantis said. “And it’s an insult to people when you say it’s an ‘insurrection’ and then, a year later, nobody has been charged with that.”
Still, DeSantis maintained that holding Jan. 6 participants accountable for their actions was appropriate: “Look, if you obstruct a proceeding, you’ve got to hold people accountable, hold rioting accountable.”
However, referring to House Select Committee hearings, DeSantis said Democrats were “beating a dead horse” and trying to “divert attention” from inflation.
“Gov. DeSantis stands for law and order,” Christina Pushaw, DeSantis’ press secretary, told PolitiFact. “He has always condemned all rioting and unlawful behavior, regardless of any political affiliations.”
DeSantis has been careful not to characterize the incident as an insurrection. On the riot’s anniversary, DeSantis said labeling the incident an insurrection and likening it to the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks is “an insult.”
Most of them weren’t arrested when Trump was in office.
They received sentences that far outweigh the “crime”

Exactly. Five minutes at Mar-a-Lago. What I questioned was your claim he was quote "out raising funds" which I would still like to see some proof of, if there is any. Trump needs to show the same leadership Sidney Powell is showing, to deserve any praise in my book. Thanks.

And never gets old, Thank you Mr. Trump.
Democrats are laughing at us all the way to the next election..........
His recording is "out" on iTunes reaching many, raising lots of "funds" for the prisoners, and making it wide-known their plight.
Trump needs to show the same leadership Sidney Powell is showing, to deserve any praise in my book. Thanks.
Wasn't Powell the one who spent her time between Nov. 3rd and Jan. 6th on servers in Germany and the Kracken? Yes, that's her. That's her leadership.
So basically that’s your long-winded way of saying DeSantis has done nothing on this issue other than talk. And yet that’s precisely what you’re criticizing Trump for. In other words, you have two standards - one for Trump and one for DeSantis. In other words, you’re incapable of speaking objectively on the subject. Your hatred of Trump prevents you from doing so.
DeSantis had nothing to do with creating this debacle. And what he has said, was conservative - that those who perpetrated violence there that day, and many did, deserve to be punished by the law. Trump created the whole mess, and wants us to excuse all of them, even though some are known to have broken the law. It’s a test, to see how far his supporters will go away from true conservatism, into submission to what Trump wants. And since he’s claiming J6 wasn’t violent, there’s no telling what it would take from him to ever draw the line, now, either.
What are you doing for them, if you aren’t actually all in on what is being done to them?
“Who would do something like this except Trump? The guy is inventive and action packed.”
Absolutely. We need him back in the WH before all of us are victims of the fascists.
But they didn’t. You didn’t. And there is a good reason for that. Nobody thinks your opinion carries any weight or is worthwhile.
The people who DO care didn’t ask you. And they sure didn’t ask DeSantis.
But they DID ask Trump because he DOES care about the prisoners and has spoken out publicly about it. And his voice carries enough weight to make it sell so the profits and publicity benefit these persecuted people.
Me too, I always wanted the opportunity to vote for our own Bibi.
And we got even better
“DeSantis had nothing to do with creating this debacle”
Now you’re changing the subject, I see. Your original comment was - “So what is Trump actually doing for them, other than using them for a prop?”
Others rightfully responded by asking you what DeSantis has done on this issue. You respond with a collection of sound bites from DeSantis. When I point out to you that DeSantis’s response has been exactly what you’re criticizing Trump over (i.e. nothing but talk), you change the subject to “DeSantis had nothing to do with creating this debacle”.
So is that the standard by which you judge DeSantis’s response to an issue? If he didn’t create the problem then we shouldn’t judge his response to that problem?
“Trump created the whole mess, and wants us to excuse all of them, even though some are known to have broken the law.”
My untruths from you, designed to confuse and muddle the issue. Trump has never said that those who broke the law shouldn’t be punished. He HAS said that the majority of people who came to hear him speak were peaceful. And he has also spoken out against those being charged, having their due process rights ignored.
I got it from Apple. As soon as I saw it, I downloaded it. Best $1.29 I ever spent.
Except for that thermostat gasket for my slant six back in the Seventies when my car was broken down on the side of the highway!
