Some men have been held at a facility in America’s capital without bond for more than 15 months. Three of them shared their stories about their involvement on January 6, 2021, last week on a Christian radio network.
More than 30 men – “J6ers,” they’re called – remain incarcerated without bond at a detention facility in Washington, DC, that has come to be known as the “DC Gitmo.” They are charged with various crimes related to their presence at the U.S. Capitol on January 6, 2021.
One of those men who remain locked up is James McGrew, a Marine veteran. During an interview with American Family Radio host Sandy Rios, McGrew said he went to the Capitol that day simply to support President Donald Trump.
“There were a lot of claims of election fraud and other things and we wanted to show up and just let our voices be heard,” he shared. “We wanted to do like Mr. Trump said and cheer our congressmen and senators on in making the right choice on that day to stand up for the people and their voices.”
Robert Gieswein told Rios he went to DC to protect fellow Trump supporters.
“The election of 2020 was completely rigged if not fully stolen – so, I went in anticipation of Antifa [and BLM] having a big presence. That’s the reason why I was wearing protective gear like a bulletproof vest and those types of things, even though the government wants to say I was there to overthrow [the government] or whatever they had in their mind. I was there to protect innocent Trump supporters from Antifa and BLM.”
Texan Shane Jenkins says he went to the Capitol on January 6 because he had genuine concerns about the legitimacy of the 2020 election.
“Elections are … the bedrock of what our nation is built on, really any nation is built on,” Jenkins stated. “If we’re not willing to make sure that our vote counts, [then] we’re just waiting on the installment of the next dictator or the next tyrant that the people who are really in power want to put in place. So, really that was ultimately what led me there.”
About those charges …
Jenkins – who is facing several charges, including assault on a federal officer, destruction of federal property, and civil disorder – says he saw one police officer brutally beat a woman, who later died. “She was struck in the head four times while she lay unconscious on the ground by a police officer with a stick,” he told Rios.
And McGrew addressed the charge against him: assault of a police officer with a deadly weapon:
“I tossed this flag pole, not knowing that it was in the direction of officers. And there’s no victim, there’s no victim statement. The flag pole didn’t land in a manner that would have been any type of danger to officers.”
Gieswein says as soon as he learned about the warrant for his arrest, he turned himself in on January 18, 2021 – and has been incarcerated ever since.
“In my personal opinion, with the agitators on the ground level and with the cops there was some kind of coordination with the DOJ to where January 6 was completely set up to entice Trump supporters to act in a way that they wouldn’t normally act,” he alleges. “Personally, I felt as though my life and the lives of other people there were in danger.”
And Gieswein issued this warning to conservatives: “The DOJ and the FBI are completely rogue. They’re going to entrap anybody and everybody that they can who is a conservative because this is their attempt to completely wipeout conservatives.”
What about bail?
According to McGrew, the only way to get bail is to denounce Donald Trump and proclaim there was no election fraud in 2020.
“I’ve only seen maybe two people come through here and actually get bail – and those two people were forced to denounce Trump say [there was] no election fraud,” he lamented. “They’ve been forced to pretty much do everything that they didn’t believe in just to get that bail.”
Jenkins says the truth will work its way to the top. “Unfortunately, it’s taken 15 months to this point – and as we saw in the Michigan kidnapping plot, it took them 18 months to be acquitted and the other two to get a hung jury. [But] unfortunately, we’re guilty until proven innocent.”
Jenkins says in the meantime he is trusting in the Lord to carry out His plan during this confinement.

Where is the Republican confrontation?
i agree where is it?
why are they not screaming bloody murder over the border?
why no injucntions filed to stop this madness on the left?
the left hounded president trump every dam day of his term and before he was sworn in.
they did gwb the same way tied him up in court to stop him from doing his job.
but the g o p is feckless they have no fighters for us common folk and so i send them not 1 red cent until they start.
AND why is it, there’s not MORE MEDIA attention on this, WHEN WE LITERALLY Are seeing killers , GETTING OUT OF JAIL on merely 25k bond??
This is Joe Biden’s GULAG! The Democrats need political scapegoats (of the opposition party) to blame to what was a blatant disregard for election laws they perpetrated in spite of their claims of innocense. The incriminating evidence is either under lock and key or been destroyed by Democrat operatives within the system.
These are the types of examples made and used to intimidate any defiance to the American tyranny offered, more like something Putin would put out than a duly elected President. Once again Biden and his democrat henchmen go to Socialist schools, obviously learned online from Russia with love, with the higher price of oil paid as the tuition, paid by THE PEOPLE, not the party bent on eliminating all their student educational debts,,,,to RUSSIA.
Apparently the majority of the citizens wanted the Democrat Communist Party of America, in control of our country.
When the end comes to them and it will come to and end, they will be sorry the day they were Whelped.
Of course it is, but the truth will set you free.
OR like we see time and time again, in many African nations, when ONE dictator is ousted for yet a new dictator…
But yet in democrat run cities , real criminals are released without bail. I hope they sue D.C. And the federal government .
NOT JUST Them, but the entire Dept of INJUSTICE appratus, that’s doing this..
This is how they treat our veterens, yet BLM/Antifa Thugs walk free after rioting, looting and torching U.S. cities.
Yup. Justice seems to be based on WHO you are, not what crime you do.
