Government Seizing Donations to J6 Prisoners

Timothy Birdnow

Jan. 6 political prisoners are bringing in lots of donations for their defense. So naturally the Department of Injustice is trying to steal it all.

From Yahoo Snooze:

Less than two months after he pleaded guilty to storming the U.S. Capitol, Texas resident Daniel Goodwyn appeared on Tucker Carlson's then-Fox News show and promoted a website where supporters could donate money to Goodwyn and other rioters whom the site called "political prisoners.”

The Justice Department now wants Goodwyn to give up more than $25,000 he raised — a clawback that is part of a growing effort by the government to prevent rioters from being able to personally profit from participating in the attack that shook the foundations of American democracy.

An Associated Press review of court records shows that prosecutors in the more than 1,000 criminal cases from Jan. 6, 2021, are increasingly asking judges to impose fines on top of prison sentences to offset donations from supporters of the Capitol rioters.

Dozens of defendants have set up online fundraising appeals for help with legal fees, and prosecutors acknowledge there's nothing wrong with asking for help for attorney expenses. But the Justice Department has, in some cases, questioned where the money is really going because many of those charged have had government-funded legal representation.

Now the Left regularly does this. In fact, our sitting Vice President ginned up support for the Minnesota Freedom Fund, which helped pay the bail and fines of rioters in the George Floyd case.

So it's fine when the Left does it but the right will be stopped by the Law!

This is what America has become; a land where your creed determines how you are treated. If you are conservative and liked America as it was you will be called an insurrectionist and held without trial in solitary.

This isn't America. It's Stalinist Russia.
