Pelosi’s Daughter Slams Democrat Judges For Egregious J6 Sentences In Shocking Clip
Federal J6 defendants have an unlikely ally in their corner in the daughter of former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA), who took the fight to judges she accused of handing down arbitrary and unfair sentences on a recent phone call.
Alexandra Pelosi, a documentary filmmaker whose current project explores the January 6th, 2021 riots at the Capitol, was overheard on a recorded call admonishing “liberal” judges she claimed are “out for blood” as they hand down stiff prison time while other J6 participants get off with a fine or probation. Greg Rubenacker, who in 2022 was sentenced to 41 months in prison, recorded the phone call, a copy of which was posted on X.“I think I learned in kindergarten that justice is supposed to be fair. A judge is supposed to be the same, and they’re not supposed to be political,” the younger Pelosi states. “And now it’s like one judge you get really makes a difference because some judges are giving probation and others are giving full jail time for the same exact offense. Literally the same exact offense.”“That is wrong, and that is not what people think is justice.”The filmmaker goes on to cite the example of a J6 participant from Texas who was initially promised probation for a crime comparable to Black Lives Matter protestors only to receive the same aggressive judge as Rubenacker and be sent to prison.
“Different judges are using the opportunity to make it political,” she added. “I think people would be surprised to know that.”Alexandra Pelosi, 53, also explained the trouble she’s run up against when attempting to view J6 footage, which sits in a tightly controlled legal database only accessible by defense attorneys, prosecutors, and the judiciary. Attorneys for J6 defendants are afraid to share the footage with her, she claims, because their digital fingerprints could be traced and get them “in trouble.”
Despite her familial relationship with one of the Hill’s top Democrats, Alexandra Pelosi stated, “No one in the government will talk to me” about the dynamics at play in J6 sentences.
WATCH:
A U.S. House Select Committee was convened in 2021 to explore security failures that contributed to the breach of the Capitol as Congress met to certify the results of the 2020 election. Congresswoman Pelosi, who chaired the committee, concluded that former President Donald Trump and other MAGA Republicans like Sen. Josh Hawley (R-MO) stoked the flames of insurrection that day, though the results have been heavily scrutinized in the following years. Upon taking control of the House in 2023, the GOP released an additional 20,000 hours of J6 footage that was previously withheld from the public despite attempts by Democrats to delete or permanently encrypt hundreds of files from the investigation.
President Trump has referenced the plight of J6 prisoners on numerous occasions during his current campaign for the White House, even holding a fundraiser to offset their legal bills and participating in a popular song sung by prisoners.
“I call them the J6 hostages, not prisoners. I call them the hostages, what’s happened. And it’s a shame,” he said in November.
