The feds have locked up hundreds of people connected to the January 6
riot. That’s all it was, by the way. It was a riot. It was not a
violent insurrection. It wasn’t an armed coup. It wasn’t worse than
the American Civil War. It sure as hell wasn’t worse than the 9/11
attacks. It was mostly a bunch of people walking around inside the
Capitol Building. It’s why Democrats don’t want us to see all the
security camera footage. It’s bland and boring as hell—far from the
"end of the republic" narrative they’ve been stroking for months. Get
over it. Everyone else has—and the fact that hundreds have been
arrested undercuts the reasoning behind creating a select committee to
investigate how this happened. No one cares—especially now.

Yet, since hundreds are locked up as quasi-political prisoners, a
judge seemed worried about deliberate mistreatment. One defendant had
a broken wrist which required surgery. DC officials dithered on doing
anything for four months. Why? Well, they wouldn’t say, which is why
they were held in contempt.

Judge Royce C. Lamberth called for an investigation into the
conditions of the prisoners and the US Marshal Service has acted upon
that request (via NBC4 Washington):

    A week ago, a federal judge raised questions about the treatment
of those Jan. 6 inmates at the jail after revelations one of the
defendants had a broken hand that was allegedly improperly cared for.

    The judge also formally found the jail warden and the director of
the D.C. Department of Corrections in contempt of court for not
responding to court questions about the medical care of Jan. 6
inmates.

    The judge says he’s referring the matter to the U.S. attorney
general for a possible civil rights violation investigation.

    […]

    D.C. Deputy Mayor for Public Safety Chris Geldart confirmed Monday
the inspectors are speaking with Jan. 6 defendants and said all court
orders are being followed.

    “We have been working with the marshals office,” he said. “As a
matter of fact, they’re in there today doing an inspection of the jail
and talking with many of the Jan. 6 folks that are there to make sure
that we are continuing to do that.”

Most of these people should be set free. The sentencing guidelines for
some have also been questioned, with federal prosecutors asking for
decades-long jail sentences for people who just walked around a
building. It’s classic overreach. You don’t need to have a law degree
to see that—even Obama-appointed judges see through it. For those who
fought with the cops, that’s a different story—but most of these folks
didn’t do anything that requires jail time. Sorry—it’s a political
witch hunt. And for all this technology that found these people, it
seems it's incapable of finding Brian Laundrie in Florida. This circus
has gone on long enough.
