I want to expand a bit on what I discussed with Steve [Bannon] tonight: The DoJ tormentors becoming the tormented. (video below)
You can tell I got close to emotional and somewhat personal in addressing what I’ve seen in DC courtrooms for 2+ years in the DoJ’s ruthless pursuit of J6ers.
I’ve watched the most unimpressive–physically, intellectually, and emotionally–government lawyers smile at inflicting maximum pain on Americans who committed no real crime other than oppose the Biden regime.
I’ve watched federal prosecutors ignore the cries of spouses, children, and grandchildren sitting inside the courtroom as complicit judges granted the DoJ’s demands for excessive prison sentences, and even ask that some be remanded into immediate custody on nonviolent and/or dubious convictions.
I’ve watched DoJ prosecutors work hand in glove with those same judges to systematically deny the Constitutional rights of American citizens despite their oath of office. This includes forcing many J6ers to spend months and years in a DC gulag awaiting trial on charges no other American has ever faced. Some in solitary confinement and others, including grandmothers, sent to violent federal prisons.
I’ve watched DoJ line prosecutors smirk at sympathetic DC jurors when defense attorneys attempted to make their case. (You know who you are)
I’ve watched DoJ prosecutors deny over and over motions to move trials out of Trump-hating Washington DC knowing they would have an easy conviction and boost their careers. (DoJ has a perfect conviction record in J6 jury trials. Not a single defendant has been fully exonerated.) Who wants to win that way? Cowards.
I’ve watched DoJ prosecutors defend a statute (1512c2) they knew was being misapplied and eventually overturned by SCOTUS to turn political protesters into lifelong felons.
I’ve watched a whole team of DoJ prosecutors with every government tool at their disposal go up against defendants who have no means and appear in court alone because they’ve been abandoned by family and friends and must rely on usually hostile public defenders because that was their only hope.
So when I told Steve I would walk out of those courtrooms confident that these corrupt, heartless, otherwise unemployable lawyers would not prevail–always thinking of my grandparents–I meant it.
And despite the immense damage they have caused to these defendants, their families, and the country, they are now on the other side.
Losing sleep, hiring lawyers, worrying about their own careers and families. Perhaps subjected to the same horrific media coverage they created.
Do I feel bad?
Not for a second. They had choices, and they pursued the wrong path. Justice is coming.
