Never Forget the Government's J6 Political Prisoners
American Thinker ^ | 4 Aug, 2022 | J.B. Shurk

Posted on 08/04/2022 4:14:38 AM PDT by MtnClimber

Remember when we used to say, "It can't happen here"? Well, it has happened here.

The J6 political persecutions claimed another scalp when Guy Reffitt was sentenced to more than seven years in prison, even though he did not engage in any violence, nor enter the U.S. Capitol. The outrageous punishment, the longest prison term yet handed down, appears to be government retribution for Reffitt's "hyperbolic statements" secretly recorded in his home by his teenage son. So, once again, the D.C. Despots have thrown down the gauntlet against constitutionally protected free speech.

Of all the Leviathan's fiendish and reprehensible acts these last ten years (the IRS and DOJ's targeting of conservatives, the Hillary-Obama-FBI Russia collusion hoax designed to take down a sitting president, the Pentagon's forced experimental "vaccination" of servicemembers against their religious and conscientious objections, etc.), its no-holds-barred onslaught of malicious prosecutions and vengeful incarcerations against January 6 political protesters takes the cake. The government's wildly inappropriate use of the FBI and courts to stamp out certain political speech and intimidate Americans into silence and compliance is such a blatantly un-American miscarriage of justice that it leaves me seething with anger. It can't happen here? It has happened here. And the federal government's vindictive and authoritarian response to January 6 only adds to the voluminously accumulating proof that Washington is filled to the brim with sadistic tyrants who would have felt right at home in Stalin's Soviet Union.

I feel for every one of the Americans who have been made to suffer so that D.C. can huff and puff and make a show of its iron-fisted powers, intended to leave the rest of the country in a state of docility and fear.

And the news about ANYIFA and BLM, which committed orders of magnitude greater offenses, there is just crickets.

I emailed my Congressman to let him know how disgusted I was that he has utterly forgotten these people and hasn't mentioned one word about them. He's a RINO who is running unchallenged.

I'm also very disappointed in Trump for not mentioning the plight of these people who answered his call to come to DC to support him in the freezing cold.

MTG is about the only one who seems to care.

We will never forget the scum that put them there and the masochists who cage them there. Their turn will come!

If I was the wife and mother of this family, that son would be shown the door and I’d wish him a happy life with his far left friends and not to ever show up on my doorstep again. That may sound harsh but not only did he just break up his family, he took away a breadwinner that helped pay for the house, the food, the clothes, the kids electronics and everything else. I can’t imagine hating your parent that much. The kid’s brainwashed by his school and his peers.

If I were his mother the answer to the question where is your son would be: beats me I have not seen him in some time. What a POS.

Trump 47’s first act should be a blanket full pardon for every person in prison for January 6. Second act, have the DOJ empanel at grand jury to investigate the Babbit murder and third, another grand jury to investigate the imprisonment of these patriots and how they got such draconian punishments for such minor offenses.

Trumps first order of business is to pardon and release the jan 6 political prisoners. FIRE the current guards and then he should throw the jan 6 cmte in the jail and pay the current jan 6 prisoners to GUARD them. STARVE and BEAT THEM. Let them lose an eye and have their hand turn blue and a black themb without care. Since they saw fit to throw a 69 yr old grandmother with cancer in jail they should have to suffer the same. No BOOZE for NANCY either.

No mystery there - it was who rejected National Guard presence that day but required them and high fencing for Pretend-esident'a inauguration. I'd also look at the weasel who urged the Capitol cops to use deadly force.
