The January 6th criminals should be given the exact same rights that the people that have murdered, robbed, raped and assaulted victims across the country.
They won't.
D.C. operates as a faction of the far left. You can't get a fair shot unless you are a minority or a flag waving lefty. FACT.
Sooner or later, sooner I'm hoping, the people across the country will rise up and vote for the GOP and make D.C. an afterthought.
Every single thing our Founders warned against is coming to fruition. It's all about the power of the elite. They have their voting block, which they keep uneducated and on the cuff, for every single decision based on "social justice.."
It's coming.... and it's going to be awesome to see the tears flowing.
What rights will the Jan 6th criminals be denied, that other criminals around the country have?
Be specific.
How can this be, in a nation with a Bill of Rights, which promises "no person shall be … deprived of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law" (5th Amendment)? The Bill of Rights notwithstanding, many charged individuals remain untried, still mysteriously detained?
Consider the 6th Amendment. "In all criminal prosecutions, the accused shall enjoy the right to a speedy and public trial …" Has that occurred? ".. by an impartial jury of the State and district wherein the crime shall have been committed …" Has that occurred?
Continuing: "…confronted with the witnesses against him; to have compulsory process for obtaining witnesses in his favor …" Occurred? "…Assistance of Counsel …" Occurring?
The answer? Who knows? The record is strangely incomplete, access restricted, word barely getting out, and what we know is not reassuring.
See, e.g., 'We are rotting in jail': Capitol rioter demands Trump give 6 January speech to back him and co-prisoners;
D.C. officials stew after Jan. 6 prisoners' complaints prompt federal pull-out from jail.
What we know, based on official reports of DC jails where many are held, is just conditions are incorrigible, in some cases objectively inhumane and indefensible.
See, e.g., January 6 suspects' D.C. jail complaints are hypocrital, but they're not wrong;
Specifically, many seem to be isolated, facing poor health, living conditions, treated as if undeserving of the kind of constitutional standards they deserve. Members of Congress, notably Republicans, have decried conditions are intolerable. One noted: "What's happening to these people being held in custody is wrong, it's unconstitutional … a violation of their rights …"
