Jake Lang came over for a barbecue last night. He was one of the January 6 prisoners.
When he showed up, I was shocked as to how young he was. 30 years old. A baby.
26 at the time. Four years of his life stolen.
Setting aside all of the politics internal to the various groups of January 6 prisoners, it is a miracle that he is out. It’s a miracle that through his faith in God, he is not a broken man.
And he can still nail some good gymnastics moves.
It is an absolute miracle that he and the others are out. Had a Trump been killed on July 13, Jake, Enrique, and many others would probably have died in jail.
I told Jake last night over dinner - I actually did not believe the “violent” January 6 prisoners would ever be released.
One of those situations where hope over “reason” prevails.
Now, off to interview Enrique Tarrio!
