I know a lot of people treat Lauren Boebert as a bit crazy, and, at times, she gets a little wonky, but, she tends to be right. And she’s 100% correct on this
A group of Republican lawmakers led by freshmen Rep. Lauren Boebert of Colorado are demanding that the Biden administration explain the alleged unequal treatment of Black Lives Matter and Antifa protesters, many of whom have never spent a night in jail, and those who have been incarcerated for months following the Jan. 6 Capitol breach.
In a letter, Boebert and 10 other House Republicans asked Attorney General Merrick Garland to address “the apparent inconsistent application of the law with respect to rioters across the country,†according to the Washington Times.
“The foundation of our criminal justice system requires that all defendants are treated equally before the law, but the Biden regime is not living up to this solemn obligation,†said Boebert, in a statement.
The lawmakers say that prosecutors in Oregon have signed off on at least 12 “deferred resolution agreements in federal felony cases†resulting from clashes during last year’s protests in Portland, while some rioters from Jan. 6 are being held in solitary confinement.
“Reports are circulating that the Biden regime has held January 6th rioters in solitary confinement, while at the same time, they are letting BLM rioters that attacked federal buildings off with just a few hours of community service,†Boebert said.
It’s surprising that the lawyers for the 1/6 defendants aren’t arguing this more, that their clients are being treated very differently from those who attacked federal buildings, trying to set them on fire (since there were people inside, isn’t that attempted murder?), attacking federal employees, damaging the buildings, and so forth, things that are much worse than what the Capitol protesters did. Yet, there is a vast difference in the way they are being treated.
How can anyone trust the federal justice system? Hillary and her Comrades weren’t even sent to a trial for gross violations of federal law, including national security laws. Hunter Biden is let off the hook for lying on his firearm application. How does anyone trust it? The Constitution demands equal treatment under the law, and, does the treatment of the 1/6 protesters not violate the 8th Amendment? “Excessive bail shall not be required, nor excessive fines imposed, nor cruel and unusual punishments inflicted.”
