WASHINGTON — The way former President Donald Trump tells it, the men and women who stormed the Capitol because they believed his lies about the 2020 presidential election are "hostages" and “unbelievable patriots” who are being mistreated by the justice system.

But an NBC News review of hundreds of cases against Jan. 6 defendants found that just 15 people charged in connection with the Capitol attack are currently being held pretrial at the order of federal judges. That number of pretrial detainees has decreased in recent months, as more and more Jan. 6 defendants have taken plea deals or been found guilty, and as federal judges have been hesitant to hold new arrestees in pre-trial custody more than three years after the attack.

15 people not hundreds WB.

That's NOW,.

But I've seen reports for most of the last 4 years of HUNDREDS held indefinitely in prison, under terrible conditions, mold infested plumbing and undrinkable water, forced by some guards to drink out of toilets, beatings by guards in their cells, tormented in their cells with deliberate severe cold or heat, at least one recovering cancer patient denied medications and causing his cancer to come back. Not given soap or shampoo or razors to clean themselves, kept in darkness for prolonged times, unwarranted solitary confinement, beatings for complaining about their conditions to family or lawyers, beaten for requesting a lawyer, or denied access to attorneys at all.

As I said, only about 600 were filmed on surveillance video going inside AT ALL.
And about 600 were initially rounded up and arrested. (Though except for Ray Epps, virtually none of the FBI false-flag agents, who were never identiffied or arrested, but were the ones committing much of the worst violence, and inciting others to. Such as Ray Epps. He the only one identtified that I can recall. So FBI was forced to prosecute him, but prosecuted with a Hunter Biden-like sweet plea deal. )

But then around May-June after Merrick Garland was confirmed and sworn in as AG, his DOJ/FBI ramped up the arrests to 1,300, arresting many OUTSIDE the Capitol who committed no violence or vandalism
Arresting and jailing them only to keep the "insurrection" narrative alive and expanding, arresting people (like Brandon Straka) who never entered the Capitol, or did anything to warrant arrest or imprisonment.
1,300 people tormented, bankrupted by legal fees, who lost their jobs, who lost their businesses and homes, because they could no longer pay the bills.
Just to torment hem.
And to keep a lying Democrat narrative alive.

The reason they were finally released is because the 40,000 hours of surveillance video was finally released. That's why Jacob Chansley was finally released. Probably about the time all these others were released.
But that's not any more acceptable, and doesn't make the Democrat-Bolseviks' authoritarian injustice to those falsely imprisoned just go away unnoticed.
If Trump is elected, I expect all the FBI and DOJ perpetrators of this false narrative and mass incarceration to endure prosecution.
And that includes the warden and guards who tormented them. And a lot of Comey, McCabe and Strzok-like vicious fucks inside the FBI, DOJ and Biden administration.
