I am pleased to report that all J6 prisoners who were in custody here in Oklahoma have been released. I am proud of how our state & local officials worked with federal agencies to implement President Trump's pardons.

Here at DC Jail: all but perhaps two January 6 defendants are still locked up, and an MPD officer now tells their supporters outside that nobody else will be freed tonight from this facility despite Trump’s pardon order saying to let them out “immediately.” pic.twitter.com/6jtggTIKRr
One of Donald Trump’s first acts as president was to commute the sentences of or pardon nearly every single Jan. 6 prisoner, setting them all free. But multiple prisons and halfway houses have resisted complying, with the D.C. gulag holding multiple prisoners hostage and refusing to release them.
Trump’s historic order commuted the sentences of about a dozen individuals and pardoned “all individuals convicted of offenses related to event that occurred at or near the United States Capitol on January 6, 2021.” It ordered that those “currently held in prison are released immediately.” But the thugs who have so abused and trampled the rights of the J6ers under the Biden-Harris administration for four years are defying the law one last time. J6ers and friends reported prisons and halfway houses across America slow-rolling prisoners’ releases, and the infamous Washington, D.C., jail nicknamed the Gulag flat out refused to release multiple J6 hostages.
Even Elon Musk responded to families’ pleas, resharing a message urging them to bring Trump‘s pardon with them to the prison and requesting to be notified if they continued to encounter resistance in the release of their loved ones.
A family member of J6er Jake Lang, likely his fiancée, accused via Lang’s X account on Monday evening that he was assaulted by prison guards, handcuffed, and thrown back in his cell while in the process of being released. Lang has been in jail for four years without a trial in inhumane conditions, much of it in solitary confinement. I was subsequently able to reach Lang by text, and he confirmed that the D.C. Gulag was refusing to release some of the J6 prisoners.
“The GULAG doesn't want to cough up its hostages!!! After 1465 days, every second is like an eternity!! I'm ready to go home!!! God will deliver!!!” Lang wrote me in his message.
Early Tuesday morning, Lang posted an update: “Hey @elonmusk they are STILL HOLDING me & 20 other J6 Political Prisoners hostage inside the Washington DC Jail Gulag & WONT LET US LEAVE!!!” He reiterated the accusation of assault. “I was swarmed & assaulted by prison officials including Lt. Allen & his Emergency Response Team (ERT) Thugs last night while sitting all packed up to leave!!!! Our were families are standing outside in below freezing 10° weather until 1am when they released 2 hostages, there are still 20 of us in here!!! [sic]"
Lang addressed Musk because, as noted above, the X owner and Trump administration official had posted the night before to confirm that Trump‘s executive order did indeed demand the immediate release of all J6 prisoners. But prison guards have been reported laughing at or harassing individuals who showed up to reunite with Jan. 6 prisoners.
This is completely unacceptable and illegal. Prison authorities are openly defying presidential pardons and orders. This is one more disgusting and shameful illustration of how abusive, dishonest, biased, and vindictive our prison system is in America now. Biden pardoned or commuted the sentences of literal murderers, Chinese spies, and pedophiles, but when Trump pardons innocent patriots, the jails hold them hostage.
If you are a family member of a J6 hostage go to the prison and show a copy.
They have to release the prisoner.
Pardon power is absolute total and immediate.
Don’t let them delay - we demand immediate release!
I certainly don't agree with everything my congressman says, but Kevin Hern is spot on here.
Joe Biden’s pardons of those behind the coverups of COVID, Afghanistan, and January 6th cements his legacy as a corrupt and disgraceful soon-to-be former president.
One day there will be a trivia question: Which Chief Justice gave the oath to the same President, for non-consecutive terms, and presided over at least one of his impeachment trials?
... There’s a glut of reporting coming out on Biden’s fateful decision to run again in 2024 and ultimately step aside after his disastrous debate with President-elect Trump — most of it unflattering to the 82-year-old president.
Biden’s own version of those events has hardly registered, beyond his contentious claims that he could have beaten Trump.
If the book project comes to fruition, it will be a chance for Biden to lay out, in full, his views on what he accomplished and why he handled the 2024 cycle the way he did.
NBC News first reported that Biden was planning a book. A White House spokesperson confirmed the plans but did not provide additional details....
I can't wait to read how Biden thinks he could have beaten Trump. As another author once wrote,

BREAKING — On his first day in office, President Trump will suspend the security clearances of the 51 former intelligence community officials who "lied” about Hunter Biden’s laptop being Russian disinformation leading to mass censorship of the story, per Fox News.
Fire hydrants that don't have water? That's nothing new. And California did something about it.
And then they just forgot about it.
The water pressure also failed during the 1961 Bel Air and Topanga Fires. In the years after, LAFD and DWP planned a number of improvements, for those specific areas, to make sure that never happened again. One of those improvements was the construction of the Santa Ynez… pic.twitter.com/LQCrSZaw5H
You won't hear this officially, but I'm told what security people are most concerned about is a New Orleans copycat, where someone just tries to mow down as many people as he can with a vehicle.
A kamikazi attack like that is hard to defend against, when you have the whole city to look after.
If they're moving it inside because of cold weather, why is the Secret Service expanding the perimeter?
