5 Republican Senators Write Letter to AG Claiming 'Unequal Justice' of Capitol Rioters Compared to P

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

Five Republican senators wrote a letter to U.S. Attorney General Merrick Garland to discuss their concern of "unequal justice" for the prosecution of Capitol rioters in comparison to some demonstrators during the social justice protests in 2020.

Signed by Senators Ron Johnson, Tommy Tuberville, Mike Lee, Rick Scott and Ted Cruz, the letter highlighted a few instances of disruption by protests that may have resulted in unequal justice in the prosecution of those involved. They requested "information about our concerns regarding potential unequal justice administered in response to other recent instances of mass unrest, destruction, and loss of life throughout the United States."

"DOJ's apparent unwillingness to punish these individuals who allegedly committed crimes in the spring and summer 2020 protests stands in stark contrast to the harsher treatment of the individuals charged in connection with the January 6, 2021 breach of the US Capitol building in Washington D.C.," according to the letter.

It also said that a database by the DOJ lists each of the defendants charged, with information about each defendant. The senators said that no database exists for those who have committed crimes for participation in the protests in 2020.

Those five are the Senate GOP's brain trust.

1. Good grief

2. 5 of the nastiest treason weasel sphincters in the senate.

3. Comparing an apple with the malignant Orange.

4. Lock them up, too.

Traitors.

5. The people involved in social justice protests were not trying to overthrow the government.

Thats a big fucking difference for one thing. Second, we know that some of the more violent actions last summer were false flags carried out be boogalooers and the alt-right.

6. I'm sorry. I didn't know any of those other protests involved the storming of the Capitol.

7. They simply can't drop the whataboutism

I keep thinking of that old song from Sesame Street “one of these things is not like the other one.”

8. You damn betcha the treatment was different

In Portland, we had people snatched off the streets by goon squads in unmarked vehicles. We had groups of peaceful demonstrators gassed, kettled, and beaten. Yahoos in large pick-ups displaying flags in support of the former guy drove through groups with impunity. None of that happened to the insurrectionists in the failed Jan. 6 coup.

10. Too soon, Republicans. Justice involves prison time. Haven't seen that yet.

[Progressive Jones]

11. When the Jan 6 traitors start going to prison, we can talk.

[spanone]

12. A protest vs. an insurrection...and I thought senators were the intelligent ones.

Were protesters looking to lynch the vice-president?

13. A Few things:

Storming the Capitol is the jurisdiction of DOJ. Busting windows, shooting rounds and setting fires in the streets of Minneapolis or Detroit is not.

Two - "This" is all they have left. They stuck their finger in the wind and decided that they will continue to push this ridiculous false reality where white America is the victim of black mobs and where Republicans/Conservatives are the true victims of everything under the sun. Its no longer, "look....squirl!!...". Now its all just "look...... black people!..."
