An egregious denial of due process for Jan. 6 protesters
People are in prison because of that cover-up.
[b]For more than two years, footage that could have exonerated Jan. 6 defendants was kept from their legal teams.[/b]
Contrary to what apologists have been saying since the footage began airing, [b]all this material has not previously been made available to the J6 defendants[/b], some of whom[b] have been jailed without trial for two years,[/b] in violation of their constitutional right to a fair and speedy trial.
Take the footage of so-called “QAnon Shaman” Jacob Chansley being e[b]scorted around the Capitol by police officers who help him open the door and enter the empty Senate chamber.[/b]
It is hard to reconcile these calm and even cordial scenes with the [b]nearly four-year prison sentence[/b] Chansley now is serving for [b]“obstructing an official proceeding.”
[/b]
[b]Grounds for appeal[/b]
New York lawyer Joseph McBride, one of the few heroes of this ugly saga, represents six J6 defendants and says a [b]significant proportion of the 41,000 hours of surveillance footage was kept from his clients and should give them “grounds for appeal.”[/b]
Chansley lawyer Bill Shipley, also told Fox News legal analyst Jonathan Turley that his defense team [b]“did not have this material.”[/b]
McBride says the [b]J6 committee’s deceptions and pejorative comments about “MAGA Republicans” from President Biden “have poisoned the DC jury pool beyond repair,” which also is grounds for appeal.[/b]
“It is egregious the way these people have been treated, for [b]as much as two years pretrial, before any finding of fact. [/b]When people find out what has been going on in the DC gulag, it is going to shock the American conscience forever,” the lawyer said.
A new book about the J6 prisoners, “Due Process Denied,” tells a tale of hell in the [b]Washington, DC, “gulag,” the Central Detention Facility in southeast Washington where most have been housed.[/b]
Cynthia Hughes writes poignantly of [b]one defendant who committed suicide rather than go back to jail.[/b]
The defendants have been kept in a separate unit with mold on the walls, brown water and generally unsanitary conditions, are[b] subjected to 23 hours a day of solitary confinement, denied adequate food, medical treatment and religious services.
[/b]
Their only solace is that every night at 9 p.m., they gather to sing the national anthem. [b]These men have been imprisoned with no access to visits for over a year.”[/b]
[b]Democrats cherry-picked footage and tailored the evidence to support their political witch hunt.[/b]
Their show trials were designed to “Give Democrats a Chance to Recast Midterm Message,” as The New York Times declared.
