Holder says he's 'concerned' penalties for some Jan. 6 defendants not high enough
The Hill ^ | 11/04/2021 | Joseph Choi

Obama-era Attorney General Eric Holder said Thursday he is "concerned" that some of the sentences being brought against defendants in the Jan. 6 Capitol insurrection are not high enough.

While speaking with Wolf Blitzer at CNN's Citizen Conference, Holder was asked if he believed federal authorities are being aggressive enough towards the rioters.

"I do think that the Department of Justice is doing a good job. This is a resource-intense issue. You know, I guess there have been I guess 400 people or so charged at this point, potentially more," Holder said. "Anybody who participated in that coup attempt on January the sixth has to be held accountable, has to be identified and then held accountable. And so I think the Justice Department is doing a good job so far."

Holder concerned that it will be hard to justify jailing someone for 9 months without bail who ends up charged with trespassing and is fined.

I’m concerned that Holder believes he is still Atty General.

Holder may be right:

The Justice Department won’t file charges against the U.S.Capitol Police officer who fatally shot Ashli Babbitt during the storming of the Capitol on Jan. 6.. In a news release, the Justice ...

"Holder says he's 'concerned' penalties for some Jan. 6 defendants not high enough"

Concern for the political prisoners of an illegitimate regime.

They haven’t even been charged with anything remotely resembling ‘insurrection.’
Most of them being forced to plead guilty to trespass or something similar.

I’m kind of concerned that Holder is still running around free after selling guns to the Mexican Drug Cartels.

Otherwise known as “The Deadly Insurrection,” complete with melodramatic, breathy voice.

And yet, despite his obvious treason, he still walks free.

The double standard that accompanies communism.
