Capitol siege defendant Paul Hodgkins was captured on surveillance video inside the U.S. Senate Chamber on Jan. 6, 2021. To the right, Qanon Shaman Jacob Chansley is partially visible in the frame.
Captured on surveillance video waving a Donald Trump flag near the dais of the U.S. Senate Chamber on Jan. 6th, Florida man Paul Hodgkins received an 8-month prison term on Monday. Hodgkins is the first person on the U.S. Capitol breach docket to be sentenced for committing a felony, and prosecutors argued a stiff sentence was necessary to keep others from engaging in acts of “domestic terrorism.”

RIP equal protection under the law.
We had a good run, but we didn’t fight hard enough.
Would it be too hard for MSN to put the actual charge he pleaded to: Hodgkins pleaded guilty to the most serious count against him: one count of obstructing an official proceeding?
Does he get time served (wasn’t this one of the people held without bail)?
When Trump gets elected for a 3 win, he’ll pardon/expunge these fake convictions for most of those folks.
Did anyone else note all the females in those pics?
This guy will be out of prison long before that.
A criminal record can be expunged at any time.
If that was considered a riot then the antifa and blm violence and destruction put Syrian war zones to shame.
Only 8 months!?
By this time next year the retroactive domestic terrorism act will mean that at the end of 8 months he will have been executed...
Bow down!... Obey!... Snitch!...
Photos of Leftist insurrectionist terrorism (peaceful style)....
Great posts. Thanks for the Pelosi hypocrisy proof one, especially.
Hodgkins was accompanied into the Senate Chamber by a Capitol Police Officer, who advised him to treat the chamber with respect, an order the group appeared to follow. There was no vandalism. They pretty much posed for selfies and walked out peacefully. He was completely unarmed, but had goggles and a Trump flag.

BS. I bet he is a plant and is doing this for effect on the others and he won’t serve a day in jail.
So this is now the US?
F them
If he were a left winger he would be on GO Fund Me making a cool mill.
Appeals?
"Obama judge", and a United States Assistant Attorney General for the Office of Legal Counsel (appointed by Bill Clinton).
On November 13, 2014 the Senate voted 54–45 in favor of final confirmation of Randy Moss.
On October 16, 2018 Moss ruled against Education Secretary Betsy DeVos after she stopped an Obama-era rule from taking effect which protected students against fraud from for-profit colleges.
On August 2, 2019, a federal judge in Washington, D.C. ruled against the Trump administration's initial asylum ban, which was announced last November. Judge Randolph Moss vacated the government's policy barring migrants from claiming asylum if they did not enter the country through designated ports of entry. The judge found that it violates the Administrative Procedures Act (APA), which oversees the ways federal rules are established.
On March 1, 2020 Moss ruled that President Donald Trump unlawfully installed Ken Cuccinelli as acting Director of the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) and that therefore, certain directives related to removal of undocumented immigrants seeking asylum he implemented “must be set aside.”
On December 26, 2020, Moss ruled that the United States Justice Department unlawfully rescheduled the execution of Lisa Montgomery, the only woman on federal death row.
On January 1, 2021, a three judge panel of the United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit vacated Moss's ruling.

During an interview with NBC News, Putin said Russia was no worse than the United States in this regard, and used the government's handling of the Jan. 6 Capitol riot as an example.
Putin showed flashes of defiance when he was asked whether it was a "coincidence" that several other political rivals had been assassinated in recent years.
"We don't have this kind of habit, of assassinating anybody," Putin said when he was asked whether he ordered Navalny killed. (NBC News)
He then countered by asking whether the U.S. was guilty of assassinating Ashli Babbitt during the Capitol riot.
“Secondly, I want to ask you: Did you order the assassination of the woman who walked into the Congress and who was shot and killed by a policeman?” Putin said. “Do you know that 450 individuals were arrested after entering Congress? And they didn’t go there to steal a laptop. They came with political demands. 450 people have been detained. They’re facing jail time, from 15 to 20 years. And they came to Congress with political demands. Isn’t that persecution for political opinions?”

"Someone needs to ask FBI liar, Chris Wray, how many of the US Capitol protesters were paid informants for the FBI?"
Is he getting credit for the almost 6 months in solitary confinement he’s already served? (He shouldn’t get ANYTHING, except a big fat check cut directly from Nancy Pelosi’s private bank account)
Was he a BLM or Antifa infiltrator?
Of course not. If he were, he’d never have been arrested, and would be given a medal, (or at LEAST a mural), instead.
