“On Capitol grounds”. It is possible that person never even went into the building.
How many of the lefties who’ve been disrupting congressional hearings and Supreme Court confirmation hearings ever got a day in jail?
If that's his Plan A then Plan B had better be good.
They are. They are the equivalent to Hitler and Stalin’s “People’s Court” Judges. And they condemned many to death.
The Judge’s Opinion used as Fact to jail a Peaceful Protester. Judicial overreach based on Politics.
I believe that since he pleaded to the Charge, he can’t File an Appeal. Anyone know if he gets Credit for time served being locked in the DC Gulag for the past five Months?
Like 97% of all Federal Prosecutions, there was no need for a Trail. The Feds make more Deals than a Vegas Blackjack Dealer.
Additionally, Ashli Babbitt was unavailable for comment.
Trail = TRIAL...
They were. Then they discovered that we did not have any fight in us and are going ahead with their plans to exterminate their enemies.
That, subtly, was my point.
Conviction will be overturned in future appeals.
This is pure political persecution!
The “obstruction” aspect isn’t what got him charged with a felony. It was that 1) he’s from Florida, and 2) he had a big red Trump flag. He was a juicy target with useful optics.
The felony charge was for “obstructing an official proceeding.” How many leftist disruptors of official proceedings in DC ever faced eight years in jail? Note that he was NOT charged with attacking police officers or property damage, nor is there evidence of him entering an occupied legislative chamber, but only one that had already been vacated.

I spot-checked some of the affidavits and statements of facts; they carried tasers, bear spray, baseball bats, batons, crowbars, riot shields, respirators, axe handles, wooden clubs, etc.
Reading through the documents, you easily get a sense of who was innocently there and just carried away by events versus those who were there with serious pre-planning, intent to harm and were probably agents provocateur.
Obama corrupted the ENTIRE GOVERNMENT..
More to the story:
Christopher Alberts, faces charges for possession of a firearm on Capitol grounds or buildings. Police said in a criminal charging document that during the evening of January 6, as authorities were clearing the U.S. Capitol Visitor Center, Alberts was arrested with a loaded handgun and a spare magazine, along with a gas mask, pocket knife, a packaged military meal and a first aid kit.
Lonnie Coffman, was found with a “large and unlawful” trove of weapons in his truck, which he had parked downtown. When Coffman returned to his vehicle the evening of January 6, authorities said he had also been carrying two additional loaded firearms, and a judge wrote in a court ruling that there was evidence he was armed while participating in riots near the Capitol. Coffman has not been charged with carrying firearms during the riot....
Cleveland Meredith, did not attend the rally at the Capitol January 6, but was arrested in D.C. the day after the attack with an assault-style rifle equipped with a telescopic sight, a Glock firearm with several high capacity magazines and over 2,500 rounds of ammunition — including at least 320 “armor-piercing” rounds.
The defendant, Guy Reffitt, of Wylie, Texas, was charged with two new crimes in a superseding indictment Thursday, which alleged that he transported a rifle and a semi-automatic handgun to D.C. and that he carried the semi-automatic handgun while on U.S. Capitol grounds January 6.

It's a travesty though. Those people were allowed to walk right into the Capitol and I have yet to see any violence or vandalism from those who were allowed in there to wave some flags and take some selfies. They looked like tourists!
Perhaps we can say no protestors PULLED a gun out.
Alberts was found to have a gun in his possession 90 minutes AFTER the curfew. Coffman had them in his truck, and it was also in the evening (after the riot) that he was found in possession of guns. Meredith wasn’t even in Washington DC on 6 January.
“The Judge and prosecutor are definitely Law Enforcement. They are part of the Executive Branch that enforces the law.”
Wouldn’t they be part of the judicial branch of government?
