Joe Biden’s Justice Department wants the Lego Man kept behind bars—indefinitely.
Federal agents seized a plastic replica of the Capitol building from the Pennsylvania home of Robert Morss during his arrest on June 11. Justice Department officials are citing the Lego model as evidence in the criminal case against Morss for his involvement in the January 6 protest: “During his arrest, law enforcement recovered some clothing and other items that appear to match those he carried with him on the 6th—including a ‘Don’t Tread on Me’ flag, a neck gaiter, a military utility bag, a black tourniquet, and military fatigues. (Law enforcement also recoverd [sic] a fully constructed U.S. Capitol Lego set.)”
So wrote government prosecutors in a July 2 filing asking the D.C. District Court to deny Morss’ release while he awaits trial on nine counts, including assaulting police officers and disorderly conduct.
While dangerous criminals daily threaten the safety of innocent people in cities across the country—and many are released on bail—the FBI continues its nationwide manhunt for Capitol protesters while the Justice Department repeatedly petitions the court to keep the accused incarcerated for months on end.
Attorney General Merrick Garland, who despicably compares January 6 to the Oklahoma City bombing, recently bragged his office reached a “benchmark” of 500 arrests. (Who knew criminal investigations had quotas?). In more than 100 cases and counting, Garland’s prosecutors have sought and often received pretrial detention for first-time offenders, including defendants not accused of committing any violent crimes.
The government’s justification for keeping Capitol defendants in jail until either a plea agreement or trial is that the events of January 6 were uniquely horrific and anyone who participated poses a threat to the country.
“Morss’s dangerousness is not limited to his past actions, but presents a future threat,” assistant U.S. Attorney Melissa Jackson warned in the July 2 detention motion. “It is difficult to fathom a more serious danger to the community—to the District of Columbia, to the country, or to the fabric of American Democracy—than the one posed by someone who knowingly and eagerly engaged in a violent insurrection to occupy the United States Capitol and abort the certification of a lawful and fair election.”

FBI "claimed" (lied) they confiscated his "lego model" as evidence; it's since been reported the legos were STILL IN the "original box", so there was NO model of anything.
The politicization of the law is in fact the impetus for creating political prisoners... those who don't agree with the ruling party's political policy are now routinely labeled traitors, seditionist and domestic terrorists. The Courts are complicit with this practice making them the agents of tyranny The Judiciary ought to be outraged at the FBI's conduct and instead of holding individuals in the January 6th assembly without bail... they should be dismissing the cases and sanctioning the prosecution.
All of this while democrat political hacks like Pelosi, Waters and Harris were actively saying the Antifa and BLM rioters from last summer had the right to "protest". Heck our illustrious VP was setting up bail for the Burners Looters and Murderers. The treatment of the Capitol so-called insurectionists is an abject disgrace.
Time for our Republicans leaders in Congress bring the issue loud and clear Biden is bringing communist government to our country and let the people know it. Time to stand up for the country
We now live in a Communist country. The Jan 6 protesters are political prisoners. BLM and Antifa get away with looting and rioting while anyone who protested peacefully a fraud election stays in jail, and gets brutalized.
This is disgraceful. Criminals released without bail; people arrested for just being in the capitol or having a lego setg that was still in the box depicting the capitol on January 6. Traitor Garland calls the protesters and Lego Man comparable to the Oklahoma City Bombing. Where is the logic in that?
Aren't we glad that he was not elected to the Supreme Court? Garland should be in jail-without bail-while he is investigated for TREASON!
We need some conservative organizations and lawyers to help these people out. Where are they?
