Today, Americans are gathering outside the DC Gulag to protest the political persecution of Trump supporters, many of whom are not yet charged or are charged with minor infractions such as trespassing. 

You must either charge the J6 prisoners and give them their day in court, or release them and stop this charade.

From Cornell Law:

“The Sixth Amendment guarantees the rights of criminal defendants, including the right to a public trial without unnecessary delay, the right to a lawyer, the right to an impartial jury, and the right to know who your accusers are and the nature of the charges and evidence against you.”

Is 18-months of pretrial incarceration for trespassing consistent with the Sixth Amendment? Is jail time appropriate for trespassing in the first place? 

Is 18-months of pretrial incarceration without being charged consistent with the Sixth Amendment?

These are questions that the Biden Administration doesn’t want to answer. They haven’t answered. 

You must either charge the J6 prisoners and give them their day in court, or release them and stop this charade.

The J6 defendants in the DC Gulag have been denied healthcare and necessary medication. They have been denied library and legal access and held in solitary confinement for excessive durations. They’ve endured beatings and abuse for praying or singing the National Anthem.

For too many Americans, they are out of sight and out of mind. 

The government’s crimes against the J6 defendants continue, with every day they are held in violation of the Constitution. 

Joe is speaking at today’s protest in D.C. Tune in if you can, and fax Congress to demand they restore the Constitutional rights and civil liberties of the January 6 defendants in the DC Gulag. 

It’s quite literally the least you can do. 

You must either charge the J6 prisoners and give them their day in court, or release them and stop this charade.


Here is today’s letter to Congress.

ATTENTION CONGRESS:

For over a year, you have held Americans in the DC Gulag. Their Sixth Amendment guarantees a right to a speedy trial, the right to know the charges against them, and the right to face their accusers.

They’ve been denied all of these rights. Many of them have not been charged. Many are charged with minor infractions, like trespassing. 

From Cornell Law: “The Sixth Amendment guarantees the rights of criminal defendants, including the right to a public trial without unnecessary delay, the right to a lawyer, the right to an impartial jury, and the right to know who your accusers are and the nature of the charges and evidence against you.”

Is 18-months of pretrial incarceration for trespassing consistent with the Sixth Amendment? Is jail time appropriate for trespassing in the first place? 

Is 18-months of pretrial incarceration without being charged consistent with the Sixth Amendment?

These are all questions that the federal government doesn’t want to, but must, answer. 

Your silence is deafening.

The J6 defendants in the DC Gulag have been denied healthcare and necessary medication. They have been denied library and legal access and held in solitary confinement for excessive durations. They’ve endured beatings and abuse for praying or singing the National Anthem.

And you’re silent. 

I remember when you raged and held investigations about heinous maltreatment of terrorists at GITMO. But when the same tactics are used against Americans, you’re silent. 

With every day you hold these defendants in violation of their Constitutional rights, the crimes you’re committing continue to pile up. You are responsible for this by, at a minimum, your inaction to hold the Executive and Judicial branches accountable.  

DEMAND FOR REMEDY: You must either charge the J6 prisoners and give them their day in court, or release them and stop this charade. You must investigate the Biden Administration's treatment of the J6 prisoners and hold them accountable for these egregious violations. 

We will hold you accountable. Remember your oath. 

You must either charge the J6 prisoners and give them their day in court, or release them and stop this charade.
