a term coined by Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) to describe the inhumane conditions for the Trump supporters being held in a prison in Washington, D.C., long after the 70-day limit on pre-trial detention under the Speedy Trial Act and Sixth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution. An estimated 40 such political prisoners were being subjected to mistreatment in the DC Gulag as of December 2021 although hundreds have been harassed or arrested.
By holding these prisoners in inhumane conditions without hope of release, it increases the pressure on them to plead guilty and then be released or transferred to a humane federal prison. Several pled guilty in 2021 under these circumstances.
Matt Braynard, the executive Director of Look Ahead America, says the FBI and the Capitol Police joined together to avoid answering questions concerning whether the feds were involved in inciting what took place at the Capitol on January 6th. Why haven’t they released the over 14,000 hours of video footage showing what happened that day? What about the incidents of individuals caught on video encouraging people to storm the building? Why haven’t they been arrested or even questioned? Who among their staff was “on the ground” that day and what did they know in advance?
Matt has tried to connect the J6 prisoners to attorneys, but has found it difficult. While he has had some success, among attorneys who are willing to take the cases, some are told by their law firms they cannot because it will make the firm look bad. In other words, it’s easier for someone who’s killed U.S. soldiers on foreign soil to get an attorney (in Guantanamo Bay) than it is for our own citizens who’ve committed no violence. They simply walked into a public building at the wrong time which would normally merit same day release and a $50 fine.1
