Trump Must Free The J6ers DAY ONE!
On January 6, many Americans exercised their constitutional right to peacefully protest and assemble at the Capitol. Instead of being recognized for exercising their First Amendment rights, they were arrested and treated as political prisoners. Our Constitution guarantees the right to peacefully protest and assemble. Yet, numerous January 6 protesters remain in jail, waiting for justice that has been deliberately delayed. This is a direct assault on our constitutional rights, and it must end DAY ONE of the Trump administration.
The recent SCOTUS ruling exposes the improper application of 1512(c)(2). The law, enacted in 2002 as part of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, was meant to address evidence tampering in specific circumstances, not to be used as a catch-all for broader actions. This misapplication has resulted in the unwarranted imprisonment and persecution of individuals who were simply exercising their constitutional rights. This miscarriage of justice is intolerable.
The corruption and bias within the justice department, the reuse of jurors, body cam footage showing no violence, and the ongoing harassment, persecution, and destruction of livelihoods of these individuals are blatantly obvious. The January 6 protesters deserve to be freed immediately. Congress must take decisive action to liberate these political prisoners. The charges of 1512(c)(2) no longer carry any legal weight and must be dropped without delay.
To accept the persecution of the January 6 protesters, who were exercising their right to assemble, is to accept and allow our government to trample on the First Amendment rights of all U.S. citizens. This must end! Liberate the January 6 protesters and protect the First Amendment!
