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