“You never forget your first time being on an FBI Most Wanted list,” says January 6 defendant John Strand. “The process is the punishment ... they punish you at every nook and cranny of the bureaucratic machine.” For what came down to four misdemeanors, John faced a year in prison, including four months in solitary confinement, where he was often denied his time outdoors, phone calls, or even a book to read. “It was so totalitarian,” John says. “I didn’t really expect justice.” He and Glenn discuss the Supreme Court ruling that shortened his 32-month prison sentence, the “uniparty attack on the American populist resistance,” and the aftermath of John’s “digital assassination.” The two consider whether or not government officials like Nancy Pelosi and D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser “benefited by creating the conditions” that made January 6 possible. Did at least 26 FBI agents know what was coming that day? What about the pipe bombs at the DNC and RNC headquarters? The main question is what do we do now? John suggests that the January 6 prosecutions are legally “irredeemably tainted.” Will President-elect Donald Trump issue a blanket pardon?
