re: Supreme Court Want to Toss Charges Against TRUMP/Jan 6 Rioters & BAN Protests
Republican-Appointed FED Judge Denounces Republican Distortions of Jan. 6 With Outright LIES
FED Judge ANGRY & Shocked by Republican Efforts to Rewrite History of Jan. 6 Attack, Those Who Label Perpetrators Hostages'
In a scathing statement, a Reagan appointee quoted statements about the riot that appeared to be from several Republican politicians and called them “preposterous.” The "rhetoric could presage further danger to our country," the judge wrote.

“In my 37 years on the bench, I cannot recall a time when such meritless justifications of criminal activity have gone mainstream,” Judge Royce C. Lamberth wrote
A senior judge for the D.C. district court issued a scathing rebuke on Thursday of those he says are trying to "rewrite history" of the Jan. 6 assault on the U.S. Capitol, writing he has been "shocked" to see some public figures attempt to label the perpetrators of the violence that day as "hostages."
"I have been dismayed to see distortions and outright falsehoods seep into the public consciousness," senior judge Royce Lamberth, an appointee of former President Ronald Reagan with nearly 40 years of judicial experience, said in a written ruling Thursday.
"I have been shocked to watch some public figures try to rewrite history, claiming rioters behaved 'in an orderly fashion' like ordinary tourists, or martyrizing convicted January 6 defendants as 'political prisoners' or even, incredibly, 'hostages.' That is all preposterous."
"But the Court fears that such destructive, misguided rhetoric could presage further danger to our country," Lamberth added.
