A Pennsylvania man charged with assaulting officers at the U.S. Capitol during the Jan. 6 insurrection says he was brutally beaten by two guards at the D.C. Correctional Treatment Facility late last month, according to his lawyer.

Two US Capitol Police officers have filed a lawsuit against former President Donald Trump, alleging he incited the Jan. 6 riot.says he was brutally beaten by two guards at the D.C. Correctional Treatment Facility late last month, according to his lawyer.

"The Department of Corrections takes the safety and well-being of all residents, staff, and contractors extremely seriously," a Department of Corrections representative said in a statement to ABC News."We are aware of the allegation made by an inmate and it is under investigation by the Department of Justice.

According to Pasqualani, Samsel was taken to a hospital and suffered a broken nose and a fractured orbital floor in his eye socket, and that he still cannot see out of his right eye, which"might be permanent," she said. Other defendants have complained to the court that they've been kept in lockdown for 23 hours each day, with some alleging decrepit conditions inside their cells like freezing temperatures and insect infestations.

A deputy warden at the jail confirmed to a federal judge last month that defendants being held on charges related to the Capitol riot were being held in a restrictive housing unit, citing"their own safety and security."

Gee that is too bad.

Good

Poor baby!

You storm the capitol expect to be beaten.

Good /:)

Sure no cruel and unusual punishment... but he really shouldn’t be complaining... Guantanamo is where these insurrectionist fucks should’ve been placed.

I'm telling you the judicial system better not call me for jury duty. I'm going to let the murderer rapist child molester or whatever he is free. I see exactly how this judicial system works in the US!

Good!

Well, face the consequences and quit crying.

Pay back . Quit crying!

I bet you they ain't on camera! Lol

Wtfc? Not me

He was only beaten! Damn! I would have expected some treatment like the series anarchy! Daily vaccine jabs in ..! Prisons are getting soft now it would seem!

Good, beat him up some more and send him to Guantanamo Bay.

Good

Life can be sometimes uncomfortable in prison, maybe he should of considered that before he assaulted the officers.

Should have complied

Ship him to gitmo

Participating in insurrections meant to overthrow democracy has consequences...

POOR BABY

What a shame...20 years in prison... Seditious Conspiracy US CODE Section 2384

Well now he knows how it feels doesn’t he? Karma

What goes around comes around. It’s called Karma!!

Terrorists deserve no mercy.

And just to think a couple of months ago blue lives mattered and police brutality didn’t exist....

Well deserved

Awwww. It was ok for him to assault our Peace Officers and Capital though !! You got what you deserved !!!

Boohoo

Good

Wait...but all he had to do was comply with the nice officers right They were just doing their job!!!

Stupid games stupid prizes

Poor baby, what’d he think they’d give him tea & cookies?!..

Karma

I’d get the other side to that story. A man who feels comfortable attacking officers would probably do it again.

Play stupid games, win stupid prizes.

Aww that’s too bad

Stop the squeal

If true, excellent.

Good nobody cares

Good

Not that I condone the actions of the guards, but I certainly believe that he deserves whatever justice comes his way!

How many Capitol guards did he beat on Jan. 6❓ What goes around comes around.

Karma is a bitch, isn’t she?

So?

Bless his ❤️. Poor thing.

Who’s the snowflake now?

He should be glad that traitors aren’t treated, like in the olden days, which trump✳️✳️ is so fond of, because he would’ve been hung, drawn & quartered!

Good! He can STFU!

You mean a domestic treasonous terrorist got a taste of what happens to terrorists, who attack the 🇺🇸🦅🗽🕊🇺🇸 & end up killing 🇺🇸 patriotic people, who gave their “last full measure of devotion, of Fidelity” defending the 🇺🇸🦅🗽🕊🇺🇸! Perhaps he prefer to be sent to Gitmo!

The poor dear.

🤷‍♂️

Nancy Pelosi planned the attack on the Capitol Jan. 6,2021. JOHN SULLIVAN outed Nancy Pelosi's plan to CNN on Jan. 5, 2021.CNN paid Sullivan $70000 to video the event. Pelosi is a traitor but so are the rest of the DEMS. Watch Scientific Proof www.

Republicans and tRUMP suck and gaetz and moscow suck and you suck

Finally some good news.

It is what it is.

Of course Trump did tell cops to rough people up and not go out of their way to ensure arrestees didn't, eg, bang their heads when put into cars, so they're just following orders

My thoughts and prayers are with him

that's too bad

Yes, but where's the video from before they started hitting him?

NoSympathy. 🖕😑🖕

Aw

Good.

Sorry, not sorry

Well he shouldn't have been a traitor to his country & cause un necessary violence's towards his fellow man! I don't have any empathy for people who cause trouble.

Waterboarding too?

I don't condone abuse of power. There should be an investigation. If claims prove to be true there should be serious consequences. Yet I'm struggling to find sympathy for people who tried to overthrow our government & murder elected officials so Trump could become our dictator.

So what He can say whatever he chooses! Prove it and you aint so bad now huh

Life comes at you fast

Good news

C3Kenneth he fell down the stairs.

When he gets to prison because of you chumps, who’s going to prosecute John Sullivan? Waiting....

He's a terrorist,TOUGH 💩!!!!!!!!!! Every single person arrested for being there and participating must be treated as a terrorist!

That sucks.

Oh well. Good.

Boo hoo!

Check out Oswald's face after Dallas jail. Definition of shit kickin cops

There is a lot of gloating in the replies, but the article hints at the reality of the situation. They are being held in a separate unit to protect them from the general population. Even now, they don’t know how bad the jail really is. But yes, conditions are bad inside.

IDGAF

Must’ve been them damn deep state guards

The guards were obviously hugging him and kissing him

That pussy from Bristol ? Fuck em

So. This jailed insurrectionist doesn’t like being on the receiving end of an attack? Interesting. 🤔

No one gives a shit

Isn't it interesting how we hear all these complaints from people that are jailed from the insurrection. I'm sure others that were already in jail have complaints too. Don't do the crime if you can't do the time.

Pay backs a bitch! Whats it feel like to be at the other end

So! Didn't he beat up some police at the insurrection? An eye for an eye quit crying !

So he knows how it feels to be beaten🤷🏽‍♀️ Karma

Horrific jail conditions? It sounds more like a summer camp if you ask me.

Too fucking bad. How about the 5 people who you helped murdered? MurderHasConsequences SeditionHasConsequences BoogalooBoys, ProudBoys and Oathtakers

Did he not cooperate? 🤔

Ooooh nooooooooo! I wonder if he has at last figured out that assaulting people is a bad, bad thing to do?

🤷🏼‍♂️

Should have just listened to the officers orders, wouldn’t have happened. That seems to be the line when a black guy is killed or beaten right?

I bet they never go to another insurrection. Incarceration is supposed to teach you life lessons.

And we're supposed to be furious at such treatment. Ordinarily I would be but this man is a traitor!
