TUCKER CARLSON (HOST): Here is the truth: Joe Biden's Justice Department is imprisoning people for having the wrong thoughts, thoughts that we all imagined were constitutionally protected, as all thoughts are.

But don't take our word for it. That's not just a right-wing talking point on a cable channel, you can read the court findings in January 6th cases over the past year and a half. And in virtually every instance, federal prosecutors argue in public that the political views of the defendants -- not anything they actually did, not crimes they committed -- but instead their personal beliefs -- what they think -- those beliefs are reason enough to put them behind bars.
