These people need to fight this. I had some fool respond in a comment to me that the cops opening doors to people on Jan 6 is a conspiracy theory. To that I say bullshit. It's on video. It's well documented and the Capitol has seen protests in the past. People have a 1st amendment right to go to the capitol and shout at their representative, so long as they are not blocking hallways or storming the floor. You're allowed to be on Capitol Hill the same way you can go to your allowed to at your state house. If you are being prosecuted for simple trespass and you did nothing but walk through a door a cop opened, that is your defense and its a solid one and you need to fight it until the very end and sue the DOJ for violating your 1st amendment rights.
