“I fear that you will get more violence,” said Sen. Lindsay Graham on “Meet the Press” this Sunday. “Pardoning the people who went into the Capitol and beat up a police officer violently I think it was a mistake.”
In so saying, Graham, like so many pundits on the Right, showed how little he knows about what transpired on January 6, 2021, and during the four years afterward. In truth, the one thing all J6ers have in common, including the allegedly violent ones, is that they had no more chance at securing justice in Joe Biden’s D.C. than the Scottsboro Boys had in Jim Crow Alabama.
In 2020, 95 percent of the D.C. citizens voted against Donald Trump. If this jury pool were not poisoned enough, the media lied relentlessly to potential jurors about the “insurrection,” about “white supremacist” mobs, about cops being “murdered” -- pick a number of dead cops, 1 to 5.
A change of venue would seem to have been in order, but none was allowed, and the juries lived down to expectations. They acquitted not a single J6er. Knowing the odds against them, hundreds of defendants pleaded guilty to crimes they did not commit -- including felony assault.
The Scottsboro Boys at least had the major media and the ACLU on their side, The J6ers had neither. On the first anniversary of January 6, for instance, all 51 ACLU chapters signed on to a letter drafted by the D.C. ACLU about “the white supremacists” that invaded the U.S. Capitol. The date was the only thing the ACLU got right:
“On January 6 of last year, the residents of D.C. were traumatized as an insurrectionist mob roamed our streets, harassed our neighbors, and violently broke into the Capitol Building, killing at least five people...

Exactly. Finally the other side of the J6 story is being told. J6ers accused of assaulting cops were actually defending themselves from a police riot. I hope every J6 case gets reviewed to expose the gross prosecutorial and judicial misconduct and that J6 video is finally released.
The "District of Columbia Home Rule Act of 1973" should be undone and - metaphorically speaking - that ground salted completely and heavily... with dead mules down the wells.
Bkmk
The “judges” who presided over the charges have revealed themselves to be biased and politicized, in the responses to the pardons. I hope there is some type of retribution that can impact those scoundrels.
One of the fathers of the still unreleased J6ers is speaking out as to what his son had to endure in the DC gulag:
“Solitary confinement, filthy drinking water, confiscation of letters to his parents, moving him to different prisons without telling his family where he was going. Insane.
And a beating from prison guards AFTER Trump’s pardon.”
Those preventing the release of the pardoned J6ers should face arrest and jail time.
“This is why I said any Trump supporter who attended any of his inauguration-related events in D.C. was at least mildly retarded.”
Strategically, it was incredibly stupid to go to the enemy camp to protest.
There were reasons why the Continental Congress didn’t sail to England in 1774 to march around the British parliament, asking for an unbiased treatment of grievances. A simple reading of those times would have revealed why.
Sociopaths, on a good day.
Hannibal Lecter, on a bad day.
Everyone of them needs to go to prison for double the time they gave the J6rs.
