If you ever had any doubt that the charges against the J6 political prisoners were anything but political, let me erase all doubts. At the same time the DOJ has been demanding long prison sentences for peaceful J6 defendants, they are asking for leniency for a BLM activist who killed an innocent man. One J6 prisoner was given 22 years and he was not even in Washington on January 6th.
The DOJ wrote a letter to the judge who is handling the case of Montez Lee, who has a criminal record that is as long as a local telephone book set fire to a pawn shop and trapped Oscar Stewart inside with no path to escape, killing him in a most painful and heinous was possible.
Here’s what the government’s sentencing memo to the judge stated.
Mr. Lee credibly states that he was in the streets to protest unlawful police violence against black men, and there is no basis to disbelieve this statement. Mr. Lee, appropriately, acknowledges that he “could have demonstrated in a different way,” but that he was “caught up in the fury of the mob after living as a black man watching his peers suffer at the hands of police.” As anyone watching the news world-wide knows, many other people in Minnesota were similarly caught up. There appear to have been many people in those days looking only to exploit the chaos and disorder in the interest of personal gain or random violence. There appear also to have been many people who felt angry, frustrated, and disenfranchised, and who were attempting, in many cases in an unacceptably reckless and dangerous manner, to give voice to those feelings. Mr. Lee appears to be squarely in this latter category. And even the great American advocate for non-violence and social justice, Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., stated in an interview with CBS’s Mike Wallace in 1966 that “we’ve got to see that a riot is the language of the unheard.”
Is that the most disgusting letter you have ever read in your life? Begging for mercy for a man who looted stores and then burned down a business, killing a father of five? This is wokeness run amok. I believe that Democrats would support an amendment to the US Constitution that makes it a God-given right to riot, loot, and burn if you are a Marxist, but not if you are……….gasp…………..a conservative.

The prosecution even went so far as to quote Martin Luther King Jr. in an attempt to gain a shorter sentence for Lee. Sure enough, the judge not only met the DOJ’s request, but he surpassed it, sentencing Lee to just 10 years in prison.
There is no way to square that circle except to assume the DOJ makes sentencing judgments based purely on politics. Why would someone who literally killed a man deserve less time in prison than someone who never laid a hand on anyone? Forget Tarrio for a moment, who some might argue is responsible for violent actions that occurred. There are other January 6th defendants who probably did nothing violent nor caused anyone else to do anything violent and who received very lengthy sentences.
Why did they not get the benefit of the doubt of simply being “caught up” in the mob? Why did their motives of speaking the “language of the unheard” not get judged in a positive light by the DOJ?
We know the answer, and it’s why no one trusts the federal government.
