It turns out it wasn\u2019t true; the man merely had the unopened box set.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFederal investigators seized an unusual piece of evidence from a Pennsylvania man indicted last month for his role in the Capitol riot \u2014 a Lego replica of the building he allegedly stormed,\u201d&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.thedailybeast.com\/robert-morss-had-fully-constructed-us-capitol-lego-set-at-home-fbi-says?via=twitter_page\">The Daily Beast<\/a>&nbsp;originally reported. \u201cRobert Morss, 27, is accused of leading fellow rioters in what prosecutors say was \u2018one of the most intense and prolonged clashes\u2019 with officers on Jan. 6.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>But in a new court filing, highlighted by Julie Kelly of American Greatness, it is said that the original detention memoranda, which denied bail Morss of Pennsylvania, was inaccurate.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn original detention memoranda, the undersigned stated that law enforcement found a \u2018fully constructed U.S. Capitol Lego set.\u2019 That statement appears to be inaccurate. The Lego set was in a box and not fully constructed at the time of the search,\u201d the new filing says.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" readability=\"4.3720930232558\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">Phew! <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/UHH0kt5LFW\">pic.twitter.com\/UHH0kt5LFW<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Julie Kelly \ud83c\uddfa\ud83c\uddf8 (@julie_kelly2) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/julie_kelly2\/status\/1414045749382459399?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">July 11, 2021<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>This is in stark contradiction to the original filing, which was reported on by the Beast. As The Daily Wire\u2019s Ian Haworth <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/internet-brutalizes-daily-beast-over-scoop-that-january-6-riot-leader-had-fully-assembled-lego-capitol-in-his-home\">reported<\/a> last week, the Beast was thoroughly mocked for its article, in which it insinuated Morss used the toy to plan the Capitol riot. \u201c[P]rosecutors didn\u2019t say whether Morss used his toy to help plan the Capitol insurrection,\u201d the Beast wrote, as if a toy model was akin to architectural blueprints.<\/p>\n<p>Part of the criticism against the reporting came from those who questioned the Left\u2019s narrative that Trump \u201cincited\u201d the January 6 riot, while simultaneously trying to claim it was pre-planned.<\/p>\n<p>Julie Kelly <a href=\"https:\/\/amgreatness.com\/2021\/07\/08\/no-relief-for-lego-man-or-other-january-6-detainees\/\">reported<\/a> at American Greatness that the Lego set was one of many common items used to arrest Morss for his role in the riot. Among the other items found in a raid on his home were a \u201cDon\u2019t Treat on Me\u201d flag and a neck gaiter, both of which matched items he brought with him to Washington, D.C. on January 6. Police also found \u201ca military utility bag, a black tourniquet, and military fatigues,\u201d which he allegedly wore during the riot as well.<\/p>\n<p>As Kelly noted, dozens of people arrested for the January 6 riot remain behind bars months later without any charges filed against them.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn more than 100 cases and counting, [Attorney General Merrick] Garland\u2019s prosecutors have sought and often received pretrial detention for first-time offenders, including defendants not accused of committing any violent crimes,\u201d Kelly reported.<\/p>\n<p>Further, many of those incarcerated are kept in solitary confinement for 23 hours a day, as if they are on death row. This is said to be done for their protection, but it has the effect of severely punishing people before they get their day in court. Many of those treated this way, including the \u201cQAnon shaman\u201d Jacob Chansely, aren\u2019t even charged with any violent crimes.<\/p>\n<p><em>The Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest-growing conservative media companies and counter-cultural outlets for news, opinion, and entertainment.
