No Shot at a Fair Trial for January 6 Defendants in the Swamp
American Greatness ^ | 7 Feb, 2022 | Julie Kelly

Posted on 02/08/2022 5:00:36 AM PST by MtnClimber

Biden’s Justice Department relies on the Beltway trifecta—partisan federal judges, news outlets, and prospective jurors—to codify its punitive prosecution and criminalize political dissent.

he first set of trials for the hundreds of protesters charged in the Justice Department’s sweeping criminal investigation into January 6 begins later this month. Since the Capitol building is considered the scene of the crime, every trial will be held in the District of Columbia—which means the jury pool will be composed solely of residents living in the nation’s capital.

To say this is a problem for Trump supporters facing even minor charges is a huge understatement.

January 6 defendants already have suffered the wrath of D.C.-based federal judges who’ve imposed unusually harsh prison sentences for low level misdemeanors and nonviolent felonies while routinely berating defendants from the bench.

For example, before sentencing a man who pleaded guilty to “parading” in the Capitol to serve 14 days in prison, D.C. District Court Judge Amit Mehta, an Obama appointee, declared that January 6 protesters were “told lies, told falsehoods, told our election was stolen when it clearly was not.” The defendant, Mehta claimed, “was a pawn in a game directed and played by people who should know better.”

Now the fate of hundreds of January 6 defendants is in the hands of biased judges like Mehta and a city populated with government workers who voted nearly 94 percent for Joe Biden in 2020, prompting some defense attorneys to try to move trials out of Washington. In July, a defense lawyer in one high-profile case filed a change of venue motion before Judge Mehta that explained why January 6 defendants could not get a fair trial in such a heavily Democratic, politically obsessed city.

“The level of antipathy towards Trump and his supporters in the District is off the charts and makes it impossible to find an impartial jury,”

Fischer concluded, and further noted he has heard other D.C.-based defense attorneys refer to Trump supporters as “hillbillies” and “white trash.”

Our members of Congress should be beating the pots and pans daily over this outrage.

But, that might get them negative media attention in the runup to November. Can’t risk reelection.

Political prisoners in a foreign land. D.C. is federal, supposedly controlled by Congress, but watch when nothing happens to fix it when the Republicans take power. The administrative state, including all DOJ and policing powers are no longer guided by the will of the people or by proxy the rules of Congress. It must be destroyed. Your country is not your government. America is NOT the vast bureaucratic state and elitist establishment in Washington.

Warning to anyone protesting in the Capital Zone- you are in a foreign jurisdiction and your enemies have no obligation at all to protect you or your rights there.

The JSixers are receiving the same kind of ‘justice’ that communists and Nazis gave their “enemies.” I’m so ashamed of this country or whatever the **** it is now that Bonzo, Dick Holder and their pal, Daddy Warbucks Soros are running this sh*t show.

Those who have been spending time in solitary without having been convicted can attest that there is no more rule of law in the USA.

OK let’s go over this again. You are aware that in 2017 dems set fire and rioted in DC against DJT.

Remember when the Black Panthers carried rifles into the Capitol when they invaded it? Here is the story: https://capitolweekly.net/black-panthers-armed-capitol/

Or how about when the Democrat Weather Underground bombed the US Capitol. They knew who did it and yet NO ONE was arrested or charged. https://www.history.com/.../bomb-explodes-in-capitol.... And NO ONE ever went to jail.

Only when pelosi was “scared” did people go to jail. Well, the citizens are “scared” too from the violence they have to endure because the dems are letting all the violent criminals out of jail to rob, harm, punch and otherwise annoy and harm them. Nancy won’t put criminals in jail that “scare” us but if SHE is “scared” people must go to jail.

You do know that the great “insurrection” lasted about 3 hours.

Dems say it was just like the civil war and 9/11? Give me a break.

Somehow I don’t believe any of them will get a jury of their “peers.”

I thunk there are two types of people being held, some guilty of the charges against them, and some who are not. But even the guilty should have the right to a speedy trial.

It’s outrageous that almost no one is helping any of them, especially Trump. There are a couple of news outlets who have tried to single out the innocents and get their stories out. The main one has been Revolver News. The second one more recently has been The Gateway Pundit.

Revolver has been great at investigating the FBI orchestrators of this event.

Here is the site that The Gateway Pundit has created to track some individuals they believe have been unfairly treated:

“codify its punitive prosecution and criminalize political dissent.”

And yet Antifa and BLM rioters and murderers are treated with kid gloves. I still believe the Demoncrats, led by Biden’s handlers want law and order to breakdown to the point where they can to send in the military “save the country”.

The political flip side of the legal reality in Washington D.C. is that no prominent Democrat has any fear of being convicted in Washington D.C. for any crime.

Even if a Democrat has the bad luck to draw a GOP appointed judge, 95% of the jury pool voted for Biden, which means a unanimous guilty verdict is impossible.
