Government Seeks 30 Years In Prison For J6 Political Prisoner Zachary Rehl For Walking Through Capitol Building For A Few Minutes
The Gateway Pundit ^ | August 20, 2023 | Alicia Powe

J6 political prisoner Zachary Rehl is no longer able to afford a private attorney without assistance from the American people.

The government is seeking 30 years in federal prison for Rehl, the head of the Philadelphia chapter of the Proud Boys, for “his role in the Capitol riot.”

Rehl committed no violent crimes on January 6. He walked through the Capitol building on January 6 for merely a few minutes, took a selfie in the building then left the Capitol grounds.

Prosecutors argue the 37-year-old Marine Corps veteran and his allies, former Proud Boys chair Enrique Tarrio, 39, Joseph Biggs. 39, and Ethan Nordean, 33, aimed to foment a revolution on January 6 to keep former President Donald Trump in power in a “terror attack” that left a stain on American democracy.

The role that Rehl and Tarrio, Nordean, and Biggs played in “organizing” the Jan. 6, 2021, “attack” on the U.S. Capitol “threatened the bedrock principles of our country’ and warranted the significant punishment, government lawyers argued in a court filing late Thursday.”

“The defendants understood the stakes, and they embraced their role in bringing about a ‘revolution,” prosecutors wrote in a 155-page sentencing memo. “They unleashed a force on the Capitol that was calculated to exert their political will on elected officials by force and to undo the results of a democratic election. The foot soldiers of the right aimed to keep their leader in power. They failed. They are not heroes; They are criminals.”

...and people claim Russia is a dictatorship with Show Trials, perhaps so, but as Jan 6th shows, Russia is far from being the only country.

“Seriously the govt is insane.”

The problem is that they are NOT insane. They know EXACTLY what they’re doing.

Examples being made for future elections and the announced Beltway appointed winners. That also means they are guilty as hell in election tampering, otherwise these ridiculous sentences wouldn’t be necessary.

“This is insane. How did our country get so evil?”

The ‘Greatest Generation’ was so busy trying to make money that they let the Leftists slip-in and take control of their children. And with the help of the next generation, they took control of the country. Originally the Soviets helped, but after 1990, it was all on autopilot (despite the claims of the Russia-haters).

“will the Court of Appeals provide any remedy???”

Maybe, but probably not. Trump needed another term to clean up the DC Appeals Court.

“True. They just appear to be insane.”

That’s the problem, and same as it was for the Jews in the 1930s, and regular Soviets under Stalin. When people think their leaders are insane, instead of fighting them (or moving to a safer place to live), they hold out hope they’ll either come to senses or be replaced. Unfortunately, that’s rarely the case.

I hold little hope they wil come to their senses. I see more and more of them going to the dark side. Sad they think they are actually on the light side.

You know its bad when the Empire thinks they’re the Rebellion.

NEW: DC appellate court struck down use of a “split sentence” for those convicted of the petty offense of “parading” in the Capitol.

By seeking jail and probation for those offenders, DOJ and DC judges violated sentencing guidance. More abuse of power:

In Oct 2021, the then chief judge of DC federal court handling all J6 cases berated DOJ for not bringing harsher charges. She suggested DOJ should also seek prison and probation for those convicted of “parading,” a petty offense she also admitted federal courts don’t address:

Not unusual nor unexpected...

Kick a serf when it is rolled up in the fetal position and these things are the expected result...

Clearly the american serfs support their communist master’s tyrannical ways...

Reagan warned us and we chose to ignore him...

The darkest & worst is yet to come...

They must have needed 155 pages, because the liars always tend to embellish everything to convince you they are telling the truth. Kind of like Joe Biden. Not a joke. 🙄
