In Feb 2021, then DC chief judge Beryl Howell created a special framework for judges to use in determining pre trial detention for J6ers—meaning keep them behind bars awaiting trial.. What became known as the “Chrestman factors” turned due process and standard bail rules on their head. Even nonviolent J6ers charged with conspiracy or obstruction with no criminal record could be held in a federal prison—often hauled cross country to the DC gulag—because as part of the “mob that attacked the Capitol,” they represented a danger to their community. A J6er’s release was not considered on a case by case...

It has been 1,243 days today that retired Green Beret Master Sergeant Jeremy Brown has been incarcerated in the federal prison system after he was handed guilty verdicts in a case that arose from a search warrant after his involvement in the Jan 6 protest. It has been 35 days since President Trump issued a blanket pardon for all offenses related to January 6th. MSG Brown was asked to provide personal security for a permitted speaker’s mother on January 6th. The Oath Keeper and retired Special Forces veteran traveled to Washington, D.C., to do just that. But after the Metropolitan...

An Indiana man who was recently pardoned for his participation in the Jan. 6 Capitol riot was shot and killed during a traffic stop by a sheriff's deputy Sunday. Matthew Huttle, 42, was involved in a traffic stop at 4:15 p.m. by a Jasper County sheriff’s deputy, authorities said in a news release. It alleged that Huttle resisted arrest and was found to have a firearm on him. "An altercation took place between the suspect and the officer, which resulted in the officer firing his weapon and fatally wounding the suspect," the release said.

Newly released J6 prisoner Jake Lang is happy to be free after four years in inhumane imprisonment without trial, but he also hopes Americans don’t forget the Jan. 6 prisoners pardoned by Donald Trump but not yet released. The infamous D.C. jail known as the Gulag was reportedly the only jail in America that refused to release some dozen of its prisoners right after Trump’s inauguration and J6 pardons, and it has since been reported that some of them have been moved to other jails as authorities allege state charges or other spurious reasons to postpone releasing them ... Lang...

Federal judges in the District of Columbia are expressing disdain for President Trump’s J6 pardons and are threatening to resist DOJ requests to dismiss open cases. It should come as no surprise that Washington, D.C. judges who have presided over the prosecutions of Trump supporters strongly object to the pardons and commutations made by the President on his first day in office. Their outrage came after the Trump DOJ requested that the judges dismiss cases that remain open.. Trump’s pardons, issued on January 20, were among his first official actions in office. They granted unconditional clemency to over 1,500 J6...

Despite President Trumps Blanket pardon of nearly all patriots persecuted over January 6th by a weaponized Dept. of Justice, some of those prisoners still remain in the D.C. jail. It is believed Judge Carl Nichols is responsible for the hold up. It is an outrage that prisoners held across the country can be released, travel to D.C. in support of those being held in what’s been dubbed “The D.C. Gulag,” and arrive by for the hostages in D.C. have been released. We talk to the J6ers just released and explain what needs to happen to get the others out.

Multiple lawmakers visited the Washington, D.C., jail to demand the release of pardoned January 6 rioters. Conservative House Freedom Caucus (HFC) members Lauren Boebert of Colorado, Chip Roy of Texas and Eli Crane of Arizona were among some of the MAGA-friendly members that visited the jail Tuesday. 'We hope they are going to be released shortly,' Roy said speaking outside of the jail on the conservative show Real America's Voice. 'A pardon is a pardon.' MAGA diehard Lauren Boebert even offered the soon-to-be released defendants a private tour of the Capitol. 'These men have already paid too much time, more...

The plight of Bevelyn Williams and 20 other pro-life Americans who are hoping and praying for pardons from President Donald Trump continues. In a confusing ordeal yesterday, Bevelyn’s husband Rickey posted on X that he was on his way to pick Beveleyn up from federal prison, only to find out that she had not yet been pardoned or released. Today, Rickey says Beveleyn is confused why people imprisoned for their roles in the January 6 protest have been pardoned and released, but she remains in federal prison. “I just got off the phone with my wife @MrsBevelynW. J6ers that were...

The decision could have implications for charges against Trump.. The Supreme Court on Friday ruled that the Justice Department went too far in slapping obstruction charges on hundreds of January 6 defendants. The court voted 6-3 in favor of defendant Joseph Fischer, a former police officer seeking to dismiss his charge of obstructing an official proceeding, Congress’ certification of Joe Biden’s election victory. However, the court ruled that an obstruction charge may be filed if prosecutors are able to prove that a protester was trying to stop the arrival of certificates used to count electoral votes to certify the election...

Today in America, we see where the government, both federal and state, are treasonously alluring illegals to come into this country (Article III, Section 3 U.S. Constitution). In the process, these illegals are bringing with them drug trafficking, human trafficking, murder, rape, attacks on the American military, attacks on America’s police, etc.

(see links) Last week US Attorney from DC Matthew Graves fired a warning shot to the US Supreme Court – and J6ers serving time for 18 USC §1512(c)(2), the ‘obstruction’ statute pending before SCOTUS. Graves threatened to seek more prison time for the J6ers if the Supreme Court reverses the obstruction statute this summer. The high court announced it will hear oral arguments in Fischer v. United States and at issue is statute 18 USC §1512(c)(2): Whoever corruptly— (1) alters, destroys, mutilates, or conceals a record, document, or other object, or attempts to do so, with the intent to impair...
