J6 Prosecutors Brag To Congress About Locking Up Americans For Misdemeanors The prosecutors who dedicated themselves to getting Jan. 6 convictions cannot fathom that they were heavy-handed and unjustly charged too many people. Or that in some cases they violated the Sixth Amendment right to a speedy trial, keeping some people locked up over a year before they went to trial, and jailing people on misdemeanor charges. That is why Democrats are sensitive about how Jan. 6 is characterized. They need Americans to believe a violent angry mob tried to overturn the election. If it was not, everything they have done in response to Jan. 6 will look awful politically.
Imagine if Trump appointed Rudy Giuliani as special prosecutor. Break up the status quo before it's too late.
Is storming a government building a misdemeanor? what about chanting that you want to kill specific congresspeople? or beating police officers with their own batons and screaming “kill him with his own gun”
