Goodness. So many 'tourists' found guilty and sentenced...

 

[KaraBulut]

While the Orange Supremacist and the Fox Disinformation Network have been dominating the news, DOJ has been arresting and trying insurrectionists almost weekly.

Last time I checked, they were up to 1,000 people arrested for breaking into the Capitol including 326 charged with assault. 518 of the arrested have pleaded guilty instead of going to trial. 53 people have gone to trial and have been convicted.

The FBI is still updating their Most Wanted website:

Capitol Violence | Federal Bureau of Investigation

The FBI is seeking to identify individuals involved in the violent activities that occurred at the U.S. Capitol and surrounding areas on January 6, 2021. View photos and related information here. If you have any information to provide, visit tips.fbi.gov or call 1-800-CALL-FBI.

Another fine pair.

Oh dear. Mark Meadows and Stephen Miller can't use "executive privilege" to get out of testifying in front of the Jan 6th Grand Jury.

More Oh dear...a radical follower of Nick Fuentes didn't get away by playing the poor little confused white girl defense...

A 24-year-old Pennsylvania woman who barged into then-House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s office during the January 6, 2021, US Capitol riot was sentenced Thursday to three years in prison after a federal judge ridiculed the idea she was “a little girl.”

Riley Williams was convicted in November of several counts including resisting or impeding an officer, civil disorder, and disorderly conduct in the Capitol building and grounds.

“I’m sorry, Riley June Williams was old enough and tall enough on January 6,” District Judge Amy Berman Jackson said Thursday. “And to the extent that she comes off as fragile or weak, that all goes away when she opens her mouth.”

A man whose television was continuously tuned to Fox News, and who knew “next to nothing” about the 2020 election, has been sentenced to seven years in federal prison for his part in the Jan. 6 Capitol riot...

Trog collides with reality, reality wins.

His anguish tickles my funny bone.

There are so many like him. Trogs who can be weaponized in a flash by the lying liars who don't care about what they are doing.

The fact that their lives are now destroyed because they were stupid and violent, just looking for an outlet, means one less fire Cracker that will go off.

BREAKING:

Four Proud Boys have just been found guilty of Seditious Conspiracy, the top charge, in a partial verdict related to the January 6th sedition:


Details: On Count 1 which is "Seditious Conspiracy"

- Enrique Tarrio - Found Guilty

- Ethan Nordean - Found Guilty

- Joseph Biggs - Found Guilty

- Zachary Rehl - Found Guilty

Throw these fuckers in jail for so long that they die there.

And now fucking charge the rest of them, including Roger Stone, Bannon et al and of course, Trump.

 

[KaraBulut]

The Tarrio verdict is significant because I don't think Tarrio was physically present at the riot. If so, his conviction means that a jury will convict someone of planning and inciting the riot even if they weren't an active participant in the riot.

Like Donald.

 

[TX-Beau]

I don't think getting a jury to convict Toad in D.C. is going to be difficult. They will need, however, corroboration, which is why it was so interesting that Smith watched Lurch's testimony in person.

The Tarrio verdict is significant because I don't think Tarrio was physically present at the riot. If so, his conviction means that a jury will convict someone of planning and inciting the riot even if they weren't an active participant in the riot.

Like Donald.

Could Tom Metzger's conviction also be a precedent?

DOJ seeks 25-year prison sentence for Oath Keepers founder in Capitol riot

The Justice Department is asking a federal judge to sentence Oath Keepers founder Stewart Rhodes to 25 years in prison following his conviction along with other members of the anti-government militia group on charges of seditious conspiracy and other felonies stemming from their involvement in the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol.

"These defendants were prepared to fight. Not for their country, but against it," prosecutors said Friday evening leading off their 183-page sentencing request. "In their own words, they were "willing to die" in a "guerilla war" to achieve their goal of halting the transfer of power after the 2020 Presidential Election."

It would send a good message to the extremists.

It would send a good message to the extremists.

To the right-wing criminals. This country should have been sending messages to them since Richard Nixon and Ronald Reagan (treason being the crime in those cases).

 

[KaraBulut]

It would send a good message to the extremists.

The good news is with Rhodes off to prison, the Oath Keepers are largely defunct.

The bad news is that while the Proud Boys are weakened without their national leadership, the local chapters are still very active and they are the ones running for school boards and city councils. They're also the freaks showing up at drag queen events.

Gay Twitter needs to stop worrying about canceling their own and start doxxing these guys at the drag queen events.

 

[TX-Beau]

It's gotten to the point where I secretly want Drag Shows to go all military couture and all show up armed to the teeth dressed as Xena Warrior Princess.

Hope this continues! Lock them all up.

DOJ seeks 25-year prison sentence for Oath Keepers founder in Capitol riot

Sentencing on Rhodes is in. The judge's comments at sentencing are the kind of thing they need to hear:

https://www.cnn.com/2023/05/25/politics/oath-keepers-sentencing-stewart-rhodes-kelly-meggs/index.html

Stewart Rhodes, the founder and leader of the Oath Keepers, was sentenced to 18 years in prison on Thursday for leading a far-reaching plot to keep then-President Donald Trump in power after he lost the 2020 election.

The sentence is the first handed down in over a decade for seditious conspiracy.

“What we absolutely cannot have is a group of citizens who – because they did not like the outcome of an election, who did not believe the law was followed as it should be – forment revolution,” District Judge Amit Mehta said before handing down the sentence. “That is what you did.”

“I dare say, Mr. Rhodes – and I never have said this to anyone I have sentenced – you pose an ongoing threat and peril to our democracy and the fabric of this country,” Mehta said.

Rhodes is 58 years old. This sentence, if served, would equate to a life sentence since he would be 76 years old at the end of the full sentence. Of course, if Trump returns to office, he would be a candidate for pardon... or Trump could be his daily lunch date in Federal Prison.
