Despite the full resources of law enforcement being deployed against thousands of individuals for participation in January 6-many charged with only misdemeanors-the builders of the gallows remain unidentified.
Photos of the gallows were included in the public hearings of the committee regarding the January 6 riot, and tied to right-wing movements by media like The New York Times.
On Wednesday, Martin said on the "Just the News, No Noise" TV show that after reviewing the footage "We figured out that four guys set up the gallows at 6:30 in the morning on January 6, it was a very serious production, they moved it out of a truck, they moved it across on wheels, they came back and forth." "And more importantly than anything, as some of the images you have up show, they went to get coffee at about seven in the morning, they went to coffee at the only coffee shop open at that time, which happens to be well, it's right next to Georgetown Law School. But it's also right across from the FBI headquarters in D.C. Something about this doesn't doesn't smell right," Martin said.
Martin represents January 6 defendants and serves as a board member of the Patriot Freedom Project, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit dedicated to raising money to provide financial assistance to those arrested and their families.
A handful of January 6 defendants decried the poor conditions and treatment in the D.C. Central Detention Facility where they were being held while awaiting trial.
Despite the much publicized cases including violence against police officers or obstructing law enforcement operations, the majority of January 6 defendants are charged only with "Parading or demonstrating in a Capitol building"-a misdemeanor charge.
"Under the continued leadership of the U.S. Attorney's Office for the District of Columbia and the FBI's Washington Field Office, the investigation and prosecution of those responsible for the attack continues to move forward at an unprecedented speed and scale," the Justice Department said in an update on January 6 prosecutions.
