The Department of Justice plans to target thousands of Americans who joined the January 6 protest regardless if they had entered the Capitol building or if they participated in the violence that transpired during that day.
In a statement by Atty. Matthew Graves, U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia, to those “who remained outside the capitol building.”
“We have used our prosecutorial discretion and to primarily focus on those who entered the building, on those who engaged in violent or rough conduct on Capitol grounds.”
However, the attorney also highlighted that the DOJ will not exempt those protesters who were gathered in restricted areas outside the building, or commit “violent or rough acts.”
Graves added, ” “If a person knowingly entered a restricted area without authorization, they had already committed a federal crime. Make no mistake, thousands of people [were] occupying the area that they were not authorized to be present in in the first place.”
He also claimed that those who joined the demonstration were “radicalized into believing they needed to use any means necessary, including violence, to prevent Joseph R. Biden from becoming president.”
The D.C. Attorney went on bragging to have prosecuted members of the Proud Boys and Oath Keepers, whom they alleged to have organized the violence.
Former Proud Boys National Chairman was sentenced to 22 years in prison last September for allegedly organizing the violence at the Capitol. For Stewart Rhodes, leader of the Oath Keepers, the federal state sentenced him to 18 years of imprisonment for “conspiring with other members of his militia to oppose the lawful transfer of presidential power.”
There were 1,230 people accused of assaulting police officers and trespassing the Capitol, while at least 900 individuals were forced to plead guilty.
Graves’ statement comes as the Republicans mark the third anniversary of the January 6 demonstration at the Washington D.C.
Former President Donald Trump remarked during an event in Iowa, “The J6 hostages, I call them. Nobody has been treated ever in history so badly as those people nobody’s ever been treated in our country.”
He also committed to granting pardon to a “large portion” of January 6 defendants who were wrongfully prosecuted.
However, the federal state’s lies now crumble as polls show that 1 in 3 Americans now believe that the Federal Bureau of Investigation had orchestrated the violence that occurred in the January 6 protest.
Former Attorney General Bill Barr also lambasted the DOJ for casting its net “far too broadly” in its desperate attempt to prosecute so-called rioters involved in the January 6, 2021 protest.
Barr in an interview with Fox News said, “Well, you know, like everything else the left does, they did, I think, go too far.”
I really wonder why they are trying to prosecute the January 6th protest but not doing anything to find out who was responsible for the riots that took place in the cities like Portland Oregon and Minnesota after the George Floyd thing. Lots of people died and property was destroyed but I don’t remember anyone from BLM or antifa going to jail.
OUR COUNTRY WILL NOT SURVIVE AS LONG AS THE EVIL COMMUNIST DEMOCRAT PARTY IS IN POWER,THEY NEED TO BE REMOVED FROM POWER ,ASAP
