J6 Political Prisoners Were Offered “Re-Education” Classes in Jail, DOJ Steals Their IDs and Personal Property

Guest post by Jonathon Moseley, Founder, Patriot’s Legal Defense Fund

The Biden-Harris U.S. Bureau of Prisons is destroying the personal property of January 6 Defendants and inmates. This appears to be a systemic approach across the board. This is going to be a growing problem as more and more January 6 demonstrators with shorter sentences will soon be released.

J6ers leaving prison are going to have no way to get on a plane, bus, or train, apply for an apartment, check into hotels, cash a check, or re-open a bank account, receive funds, etc.

Most people have seen movies or television shows in which an inmate is released after doing their time, and the officer at the counter pulls their personal property held all that time out of storage, calls out every item one at a time, delivers them to the now-free individual and asks him or her to sign a receipt.

Well, that’s not how Merrick Garland rolls.

Starting on August 17, The Gateway Pundit community responded generously to help Darrell Neely who had been dumped on the street in Greensboro, North Carolina and was living under a bridge.

We were all especially blessed by the many messages of prayers and support (which GiveSendGo does accommodate very well) from The Gateway Pundit community. I suspect that people saw this as a do-able, manage-able solution that they could take to easily fix a problem.

But when we tried to take the next steps, we found that the prison had destroyed Darrell’s driver’s license and other identification. When I took $1,000 of my own money (ordering a reimbursement check from the Fund’s bank) and sent it by MoneyGram to Darrell Neely in North Carolina, he could not receive the money. The only ID he had was a prison ID. (Of course the money wasn’t lost, but it took enormous work to redirect it.)

Merrick Garland’s Department of Justice which runs the Bureau of Prisons did not return his driver’s license, any other ID, or any of his personal property.

So the Walmart financial desk nearby refused to release the money to him. At the time he was still homeless with no cell phone. But he managed to get the Walmart to call me. I personally argued with the financial desk clerk (whose hands were tied by Walmart policy, though sympathetic). They would not accept a prisoner ID card.

The Fund was able to find an inexpensive hotel nearby and a cell phone, paying for them with the Fund’s credit card out of the donations generously provided. I had to fast-talk the hotel and bury them with documentation from the Fund so they wouldn’t refuse to let him check in with only a prison ID. Darrell has been staying there since August 17 until September 4, by the generosity of supporters.

As I write this, Darrell Neely is on a trip from Greensboro to Washington, D.C., the last place he had a valid driver’s license. We figure it will be easier to get a replacement card there than to start from scratch in a different state. Because Washington DC is expensive for hotels and such the trip will probably cost at least $1,000 or more.

Last week, the Fund paid for a trip to the county of his birth to get a replacement birth certificate. Over the phone, they said his prison ID wouldn’t work but he actually knew someone working there since school. So we got that far. If anyone would like to help further with this process and these trips, it would be appreciated:

I demanded to know from the prosecutors, and he asked his probation officer what happened to Darrell’s photo identification. I got no answer from the prosecutors. His probation officer, who has generally been helpful, responded that the Bureau of Prisons destroys personal property like IDs when people are arrested. (It is not clear if the officer confirmed this in relation to Darrell in particular, but he strongly believed that this was the general practice. Rather than puzzling over what happened to them, the officer just spit out the response that his IDs were probably destroyed.)

Since then, checking around with January 6 attorneys and advocates, I have been told of similar experiences with other January 6 defendants finishing the shorter range of sentences. No one has reported getting their personal property back upon being released. Unfortunately, Darrell’s family had disowned him and he had no support.

Technically, Merrick Garland’s DOJ is stealing. Notice that when we see the outrageous misbehavior of the federal judges in the District of Columbia, Merrick Garland was one of them. When we read federal court decisions filled with double-talk, changing the subject, answering the wrong question, misstating the facts, speculating, and changing the law on the fly, don’t forget that Garland was a federal judge in that same swamp. His ethical standards are the same. Worse: When the DOJ is asking those federal judges to do something, it is a former member of their club asking. Worse still: Garland can’t shut up. No prosecutor should be giving speeches about pending criminal trials.

Like the endless Trump indictments, this is politically motivated persecution.

The Dems have created a system of bullying.

American political prisoners have been held for more than a year in solitary confinement in 7X10 cells for 23 hours a day. These people have not been convicted of any crimes, they are being held in “pretrial detention” for trespassing the capitol halls of corruption on 6 January 2021. Their trials have not been set. They have been denied bail. They are not allowed to meet with lawyers in private. They have one hour a day for “exercise”, showers, and phone calls. They have been denied due process.  The jailed protesters have been beaten and isolated by the guards.  Lawyers for one, a man called Ryan Samsel, say he was beaten so badly he has a skull fracture and is now blind in one eye. One of them died awaiting trial.

Their civil rights have been taken away by authoritarian thugs who work at the direction of a corrupt DOJ.

The murder victims of Pelosi’s capitol police:  Benjamin Phillips, Kevin Greeson, Rosanne Boyland, and Ashli Babbitt were killed at the hands of capitol cops Lila Morris, Harry Dunn, Aquilino Gonell,  and Michael Leroy Byrd.  None of them were charged.

Dems facilitated and supported 18 months of Antifa and BLM riots across the country including the attack on the White House in June of 2020. They tried to breach the White House a month before, creating a threat so serious that Secret Service agents were forced to rush then-President Donald Trump into a secure bunker. They bailed out arrested rioters. They encourage mob violence on their behalf and justify it by saying it’s ‘essential’ for change.

Burn Loot Murder lasted 7 months with 23 people s­hot dead, 700 police officers injured, and over 150 federal buildings damaged. Antifa’s rampage has resulted in damage comparable to Hurricane Sally. Combined casualties from both groups of thugs numbered 926 as of July 2020.  Anarchists took over blocks of city neighborhoods in Seattle and Portland.  They’re still at it.  The Feds refuse to prosecute.

More than 2,000 law enforcement officers were injured during what the media called “mostly peaceful” protests.

Prog radicals stormed into the Hart Senate building and the state capitols of Iowa, Wisconsin, and Georgia. Left-wing protesters tried to break down the door to the SCOTUS while Bret Kavanaugh was sworn in.  Sandy Cortez led a group of protesters that stormed Pelosi’s office in 2018 for hours until Capitol Hill Police arrested 51 of the protesters for unlawful entry and protest; a stunt that was praised by the media. No one was shot, harassed, or rounded up and thrown into Biden’s gulag.

Thousands of pro-PLO/Hamas radicals descended on DC, trying to breach the White House grounds, and committing assault and vandalism. I’m sure that the FBI and DOJ jackboots will round them up and send them to Biden’s gulag any day now, right?

The fucking twats at the DOJ thinks they were just “exercising their basic civil rights”.

They certainly won’t do anything that brings their own party’s criminals to justice. Never in the history of this country has a political party been so unfettered in its ability to weaponize government agencies against political opponents and citizens who object to their malfeasance. They get away with it because they can. So far, the GOP, collectively, hasn’t had the guts to unite and stop this shit.

Unless or until America stands up to this, the authoritarian government brutality will continue. If you don’t think it affects you, just wait.
