Halloween Edition!!
America's lawyers rose to the occasion to preserve our tradition of ensuring that even the worst of defendants enjoys competent legal representation when it came to the terrorists that were being held at the US Navy's base at Guantanamo. Offers of pro bono legal support freely flowed south to ensure that those murderers were properly represented.
By comparison, the thousands of people accused of rioting in Washington D.C. on January 6th have not received similar offers of legal assistance.
I'm not sure what to make of this. The federal government has a well-documented history of having agents infiltrate groups and then use their infiltration to lead those groups to conduct operations that they were not natively inspired to pursue. In legal parlance, this is known as "entrapment" and government agents are not allowed to entrap people by asking them to commit an illegal act. It seems like one individual at the January 6th riot is closely associated with the federal government. He is, sadly, a No-LOAD US Marine. He also, equally sadly, spent the days preceding the incursion against Congress persuading people to go to the Capitol building. A real inquisitive media would spend more time investigating. And I don't know enough about this source to know how credible their coverage might be.
