Judge Shocked By Efforts To Rewrite History Of Jan. 6 Attack

A Senior Judge for the D.C. District Court issued a scathing Rebuke, 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," Ssenior Judge Royce Lamberth, 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." Trump has referred to Jan. 6 Defendants as "Hostages."

"But the Court fears that such destructive, misguided rhetoric could presage further danger to our country," Lamberth added.

Lamberth's comments came as part of a Ruling, tied to a Sentencing of a Jan. 6 Defendant, Convicted of Misdemeanor Offenses, James Little, who has sought to Argue He's the Victim of a Political Prosecution. Little was initially Ordered to be Sentenced to 60 days in Jail and Three years on Probation. Little Appealed and Federal Appeals Court, sent it back to Lamberth for Resentencing, even though Little had already Completed His Incarceration.

Lamberth has presided over many other High-Profile Jan. 6 Cases including Jacob Chansley, known as the "QAnon Shaman," and Christopher Worrell, the Former Proud Boys Member who went Missing just before He was set to be Sentenced for His Role in Jan. 6.

"The Court is accustomed to defendants who refuse to accept that they did anything wrong," Lamberth wrote in Response to Little's Claims. "But in my thirty-seven years on the bench, I cannot recall a time when such meritless justifications of criminal activity have gone mainstream."

"The Court cannot condone the shameless attempts by Mr. Little or anyone else to misinterpret or misrepresent what happened," Lamberth said. "It cannot condone the notion that those who broke the law on January 6 did nothing wrong, or that those duly convicted with all the safeguards of the United States Constitution, including a right to trial by jury in felony cases, are political prisoners or hostages."
