Claims that people who participated in the attack on the Capitol were mistreated by agencies like the Justice Department are part of efforts to cast the rioters as victims rather than perpetrators.

    By breaching the Capitol intending to overthrow the government (and hang Mike Pence) they committed treason, and now they want free binkies and a blankie because someone made them soil their diapers?!

    They’ll likely get it too, after all, in Trumpmerica every day is opposite day.

      The lawyer spearheading the effort is Mark McCloskey, why that name might tingle in your memory is he gained media exposure during the BLM protests when he and his wife were waving their guns around in a manner befitting an asshole.

      Could still happen.

      Wait, did you mean the lawyers working on their behalf or the rioters? Honestly, either could go and I’d be okay with that.
