Shawshank for January 6 Detainees

“I’ve been in solitary confinement for a hundred days now and haven’t been convicted of any crime with no end in sight.” That was part of a lengthy message Jacob Lang sent to his father, Ned, the last week of April. Jacob was arrested on January 16 in New York and charged with several crimes related to his activity in Washington, D.C. on January 6. Lang, who turned 25 while incarcerated, is accused of assaulting police officers using a dangerous or deadly weapon. The government’s evidence against him appears to be strong. He has pleaded not guilty to all charges. But Lang and dozens of January 6 defendants already have been convicted

A sample - there’s more in the article: Prison guards “instill fear” in the detainees, Metcalf said. Ryan Samsel, behind bars since January, allegedly was beaten by prison guards who handcuffed him with zip ties. “He has definitely suffered serious injuries, including a shattered orbital floor, a broken orbital bone, his jaw was broken, his nose was broken,” his lawyer said in an interview last month. Samsel, she said, is currently unable to see out of his right eye and may permanently lose his vision. Further, those held in the D.C. jail cannot participate in their own defense, a clear violation of basic constitutional protections.

It's all retaliatory. They don't have anything on the accused but they're being made examples. Didn't video just emerge showing Capitol police actually allowing and inviting protesters into the Capitol?

#4 Video didn't have to emerge showing the police opening the doors. I saw it with my own eyes on January 6 and I also so the capitol police removing the barricades for the ones wearing the back packs and helmets. We know who they were, don't we. We don't need 12,000 hours of video or whatever it is they have. PDJT should be shouting from the rooftops to get these people free until there is conviction. Guilty until proven innocent isn't is not in our constitution. Where are the elected on this, too.

It wasn't too many years ago that I truly believed that patriotic Americans would never let things like this, and many more outrages of the far left, stand but it seems that nowadays only the Marxists, professional race hustlers, and career anarchists of the hard left have the gumption to challenge/attack the system they find so repulsive, even when the system is not violating any aspect of our Constitution. I hope and pray that one day, we don't look back and realize that we as a people, were more cowardly or complacent than the German citizens leading up to and during WWII.

Let's face it. The DC Circuit Courts make the worst hanging judge in the old west look like John Marshall. A kanagroo court would be embarassed to be compared to those judicial hacks. The deep state, Biden regime and their media whores don't care about the Constitution or the rule of law (unless is is their law). What they got away with during the Obama Regime, continued through to undermine the Trump Presidency, and now continues to this day is the true insurrection. See you at the re-education camps.

It's a universal rule of evidence in these United States that if a portion of a recording is used as evidence, the defense is entitled to the full recording to determine if the portion presented presents a distorted picture of what actually happened.

When the lefties know or start to realize that they do not have a watertight legal case they turn to making the legal process itself the punishment. One way or another they will exract their pound of flesh. Another aspect of what is called "Lawfare"

Michigan Judge Dismisses Antrim County

A Michigan judge on Tuesday threw out a case challenging the 2020 election in Antrim County. 13th Circuit Court Judge Kevin Elsenheimer, a Republican nominee, ruled that plaintiff William Bailey, a resident of Antrim County, had received the relief he sought after he filed the lawsuit last year following the election. Bailey was seeking an independent audit of Antrim County’s election but Elsenheimer decided that the February risk-limiting audit conducted by county clerks, who reviewed a random sample of some 18,000 ballots, was sufficient under state law. “There is no right either in the constitutional section or the statue for the independent audit that Mr. Bailey seeks,” Elsenheimer told the court.

Cyber Buddy Silvio Canto Jr. posted a piece, "Who put the 1979 calendar on the wall?" His point is the Biden administration is off to a Jimmy Carter start, but I want to thank whoever put that calendar up for reminding us of a much better time than today. Even at his worse, Carter was better than this president. Both of course were in way over their heads as president. But Carter was merely incompetent, while Biden is a mean-spirited, willfully ignorant puppet controlled by an anti-American administration. There are similarities, as the handsome Cuban-American Canto pointed out.

This weekend's literally explosive revelation that the Associated Press served as a human shield for Hamas has repercussions. In an editorial today, the New York Post called into question years of AP's coverage of the Hamas terror group's attacks on the sovereign state of Israel. This comes after Israel told AP to evacuate its offices in a Hamas-owned building because it was going to blow the building up because it housed Hamas's spy operations. AP howled and cried unfair. The rest of us said, huh? Hamas was AP's landlord? How in the heck is that ethical? Imagine AP renting from Al Qaida or ISIS.

White House medical adviser Anthony Fauci has admitted that his wearing of a face mask indoors after being fully vaccinated for COVID-19 was based on imagery and not science. The moment came during a Tuesday morning interview with George Stephanopoulos on ABC’s “Good Morning America,” in which the host pressed Fauci on how his mask-wearing practices have changed since the latest recommendations from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). “Well, you know, George, I’m obviously careful because, I mean, I’m a physician and a health care provider. I am now much more comfortable in people seeing me indoors without a mask,” Fauci said.

The apparent suicide plunge of U.S. Representative Liz Cheney (R-Wyo.) appears to be the psychopathic backlash of NeverTrumpers who are starting to realize Donald Trump’s defeat in November and the allegations he was attempting to overturn the election by provoking an “insurrection” at the Capitol on January 6 do not bring back the Republican Party of the Bushes and McCain and Romney, as those families seem to imagine. This is only the first shoe dropping. It will soon be followed by the realization of the role the NeverTrumpers have played in shackling the country and the Western world to the unfolding disaster of the Biden presidency.

The vote in the House over whether to create a “January 6th Commission” has ended. The bill passed, which is expected given who runs the chamber. What wasn’t as expected (or perhaps it was?) is that 35 Republicans joined hands with their Democrat colleagues, agreeing to walk headlong into a partisan buzzsaw. This per The Daily Caller.
