McCarthy screamed at Trump to call of the rioters. And Jordan was in a Dec 21 meeting with Trump, plotting overturning electors.

(28,979 posts)from Indianapolis Star:
Jon Schaffer, an Oath Keeper who stormed the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6 and who is also the guitarist for the heavy metal band Iced Earth, says he went through two months of hell while incarcerated in the Marion County Jail over his participation in the riot, The Indianapolis Star reports.
According to Schaffers lawyer, other inmates were throwing feces at him and urine at him and threatening his life in a horrible, horrible situation.
Shame on us, Judge, that this is happening in our justice system, Schaffers lawyer Marc J. Victor told the judge.
After being arrested on Jan. 17, Schaffer was held at the Marion County Jail until he was transported in mid-March to Washington D.C. to face charges.
During the two months he was incarcerated, Schaffer was kept in Administrative Segregation due to his high profile status. But weeks after being locked up, Schaffer said he feared for his life. Jail staff then received an emergency grievance from Schaffer, who said that three inmates were targeting him with death threats.
