Pretty good reading why the Jan. defendants are still on jail. In a nut shell, it is because the liberal DOJ and the liberal courts want them there.

QuoteThat same day, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia threw Sahady—and more than 300 January 6 defendants charged with the same obstruction felony—a potential lifeline. In what one judge described as a "splintered decision," a three-judge panel narrowly reversed a lower court ruling that tossed the obstruction count against three Capitol protesters. D.C. District Court Judge Carl Nichols dismissed the charge last year largely based on the argument that the statute "requires that the defendant have taken some action with respect to a document, record, or other object in order to corruptly obstruct, impede or influence an official proceeding."

QuoteBut that hasn't prevented Attorney General Merrick Garland from weaponizing the statute in exactly that way for more than two years. Dozens of defendants have pleaded guilty or been convicted at trial. Jacob Chansley, the "QAnon Shaman," spent months in solitary confinement and was denied bail before Garland's prosecutors successfully tormented him into pleading guilty to obstruction. Judge Royce Lamberth, who repeatedly denied his release, sentenced Chansley to 41 months in prison.

QuoteJudge Trevor McFadden repeatedly denied the release of Timothy Hale, a January 6 protester who faced the obstruction count and assorted misdemeanors. Hale spent 16 months in the D.C. gulag under McFadden's pretrial detention orders before finally going to trial in May 2022. He was convicted by a D.C. jury in a matter of hours and is now serving out a 48-month prison sentence.

QuoteIn fact, every judge on the D.C. District Court has uniformly denied motions to dismiss the obstruction charge.

QuoteIn reversing Nichols' order, Judge Florence Pan, appointed to the appellate bench by Joe Biden in March 2021, concluded that "the meaning of the statute is unambiguous."

There is nothing that the liberals have not sought to weaponize, from the FBI, IRS, the DOJ, and not the courts. We have been in a takeover.
