In a review of three years' worth of Jan. 6 criminal cases, @CBSNews found that nearly 500 defendants are accused of assaulting police officers. Former President Donald Trump has argued the defendants are being unfairly treated like "hostages." His rhetoric is sparking growing concern.
@CBSEveningNews @CBSNews These 500 are not “hostages” or “political prisoners”. They committed treason against their own country.
@BillLoiry @CBSEveningNews @CBSNews And they all pleaded guilty ….
@BillLoiry @CBSEveningNews @CBSNews If protesting is treason there a whole shit load of trials that need to be had
@BillLoiry @CBSEveningNews @CBSNews IMO anyone found guilty of attempted insurrection should lose their citizenship and be deported. That will "make America great again".
@BillLoiry @CBSEveningNews @CBSNews Just like Alexi Navalny!
@BillLoiry @CBSEveningNews @CBSNews Was this also an insurrection? thehill.com/homenews/news/…
@BillLoiry @CBSEveningNews @CBSNews Treason? That's really inaccurate.
@BillLoiry @CBSEveningNews @CBSNews 150 years ago they would have been treated as traitors and dealt with accordingly! Not three years later, either!
