If true, they must have been in the process of appealing, yes? Were they?
Since they have been pardoned, it's moot.

Why should the Democrats be able to hold hostages?

To right or wrong in violation of people's 6th amendment so that the Democratic party can do a lot of flopping.

“Hostage: noun; a person seized or held as a security for the fulfillment of a condition.”
-Oxford Dictionary

Please describe how this applies to those Trump pardoned. And of course, the specific ways their 6th Amendment rights were violated.

Considering that many of them were denied constitutional rights and overcharged, many of them might have a case.

Provide one or two specific examples of someone being overcharged and what constitutional rights were violated.
If not, your post is just right wing talking point.

This is a lie. They were in jail because they ARE criminal scum.

Why weren't they persecuted for terrorism?

Sedition is not prosecuted the same way terrorism is.

Yes, you are wrong.
CLAX1911 said:
Yes there were people that were pardoned that never had a trial if they were held hostage.

They were not held hostage. They were in jail because they were criminals and MAGA traitors.
 
How about this? If us liberals started referring to those prosecuted for breaking the law in BLM demonstrations as “hostages,” would that satisfy the MAGA faithful?

No they were held hostage without bail for years for political reasons.

That's why they were pardoned.

You can only appeal a verdict if they were held prisoner without a trial they don't have a verdict.

There is nothing to appeal they're just imprisoned indefinitely because they don't agree with Democrats.

This is why they were pardoned and this is why your point is moot
 
They have to wait till my 5000 dollar DoGE check clears.

Where they held in jail for 3 years without trial?

If you can't show that it's not a comparison.
 
CLAX1911 said:
Yes they were

It doesn't matter you really Constitution everything you've done should be undone.

Elections have consequences. Also Trump said he would pardon them day one and he won the popular vote and he won every single swing state so I think America as a whole disagrees with you

Threw us over a thousand people being held hostage.

Who else was denied a speedy trial?

“Political prisoners” is a broad term. The generally accepted international term refers to figures as diverse as Nelson Mandela and Timothy McVeigh, that is, people jailed with criminal offenses committed for political reasons. By that international definition, the Jan 6 defendants were political prisoners. In the US, however, the term tends to mean someone imprisoned simply for their beliefs, whose actions didn’t break any laws, other than say sitting in at segregated lunch counters back during the civil rights era.

Just looked it up. Most were released within days. Some were held in pre-trial detention for the usual reasons that happens, like flight risk or the violent nature of the charges against them. What information might you have on why some were held pre-trial?

The most obvious Jan 6 criminal, Donald Trump, was never jailed for his offenses. :)

People forcefully broke into the Capitol building injuring over 150 Law Enforcement personnel...

There was damage and destruction in their wake.

They know they are lying. They just amuse themselves at the annoyance they create.

Either way they were wrongfully imprisoned.

Even those who beat up cops? Even those who broke the windows of the Capitol, defecated inside, stole stuff?
 
What this tells me is this is trump admitting he is guilty as sin.

Yes. Never held without trial for 3 years. Even if they had a trial 3 years is long enough.

I shouldn't have even been put in jail that's vandalism it's not a felony.
