Jake Lang worked to save lives on Jan. 6 while peacefully protesting at the Capitol (like the majority of protesters there) despite police violence. Now he’s been in jail without trial for three years. Lang discussed Jan. 6, a weaponized justice system, terrible prison conditions, and the bias of the Washington, D.C. jury pool in exclusive comments to PJ Media.
Lang is not a terrorist or insurrectionist. He’s a Trump supporter who got caught up in the Jan. 6, 2021, protests and tried to protect people from injury and death. Lang reportedly rescued fellow protestor Philip Anderson from a stampede at the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6. As the late Rosanne Boyland was crushed under a police-induced stampede that day, Lang saved Anderson from a similar death. Read below for Lang‘s description of why he is in jail and why that D.C. jail is such a horrible place to be.
Lang began his comments to me with his message straight to the American people, on his opinion of what really happened on Jan. 6 and why the fate of the Jan. 6 prisoners is so important (listen to it below). He noted that he has been in jail for more than three years without trial, let alone conviction, and moved about until finally landing in the nightmarish Washington, D.C., prison that he and others call the Gulag.
“I’ve been held in Purgatory, moved to 13 different prisons. I am a hostage of the Joe Biden regime,” Lang said.
He accused “Communist” Democrats of being the ones actually guilty of a “coup d’etat” to help “puppet regime leader” Biden, rather than the supposedly insurrectionist Jan. 6 protestors. The Democrats certainly weaponized Jan. 6 to legitimize Joe Biden and delegitimize anyone who questioned the 2020 election results (even though Democrats constantly question elections where Republicans are victors, like in 2016).
“I was there to patriotically and peacefully protest like Donald Trump told us to go down there and do,” Lang insisted. “We were attacked by the Capitol police… and we ended up defending ourselves and defending this country from a grave, grave day.”
Then “the persecution” began, the federal campaign that has led to the arrests of over 1,200 Jan. 6 protestors, including Lang, who called this “the movement of our times, one of the saddest political… situations to ever occur in America, where, you know, every day, citizens — brave American… firefighters, former Marines, schoolteachers, carpenters, electricians, plumbers, and entrepreneurs like myself were wrangled up by the FBI, and our doors kicked in, our families frightened at gunpoint, and [we] dragged away to the Gulag.”
An investigation by lawmakers and a court ruling previously found evidence to corroborate reports from Jan. 6 prisoners that they were (and are) being denied not only their rights but even basic necessities like medical care and hygiene products in D.C. The prisoners have since started a fund to raise money to obtain these basic necessities.
In that “Gulag,” Lang stated, “we’ve been denied due process, denied our Constitutional rights against cruel and unusual punishment, against unbiased juries. And we have been pushing every single day since for the freedom of the Jan. 6ers and for President Trump to be reelected in 2024 in order that he could pardon these brave men and women who risked everything to defend this country on Jan. 6.” We now have video evidence showing Capitol police brutality on Jan. 6, confirming the argument that the killings of Rosanne Boyland and Ashli Babbitt that day by police were not extreme exceptions.
Lang also emphasized poll data published by The Epoch Times on the extreme bias Jan. 6 prisoners face in the D.C. jury pool, supporting the argument that they can receive no objective trial in that city, where many of them are imprisoned.
Stay tuned here to PJ Media for parts two and three of my interview with Lang about the D.C. “Gulag” and shocking statistics on the bias of the Washington, D.C. jury pool, which is overwhelmingly predisposed against all Jan. 6 prisoners, peaceful or not.
For Our VIPs: Jan. 6 and the Corruption of the FBI Quota System
Some experts and media personalities have argued that Jan. 6 could have been a case of the years-long federal practice of entrapment (luring individuals into committing a crime they did not intend to commit). Read more about federal entrapment from FBI whistleblower Steve Friend. Rep. Clay Higgins (R-La.) also says he has evidence of “ghost” buses “filled with FBI informants dressed as Trump supporters, deployed into our Capitol on Jan. 6.”
