Man who threatened to shoot Pelosi sentenced to more than two years in prison

A Georgia man who drove cross-country with an assault rifle and threatened to kill House Speaker Nancy Pelosi was sentenced to 28 months behind bars in an emotional hearing on Tuesday.

Cleveland Meredith Jr. pleaded guilty in September to sending threatening communications. Though he missed the January 6 rally because of car troubles, Meredith was one of the first people charged in relation to the Capitol riot after his mother reported concerning texts to the FBI on January 7. Agents found Meredith in a hotel one mile from the Capitol with thousands of rounds of ammunition, a handgun and an assault rifle stashed in his trailer.

“Let the record be crystal clear that it is not patriotism, it is not justified to descend on the Capitol at the behest of a candidate who lost an election and terrorize others,” Judge Amy Berman Jackson said, calling the riot the “definition of tyranny.”

She added, “Canceling the votes of others at the point of a gun is the antithesis of what this country stands for.”

He will get credit for the 11 months he has already spent behind bars.

Meredith is one of several Capitol riot defendants who hurled threats at lawmakers, but only the second to be sentenced to related charges.

Many of these defendants — including Meredith — believed in the QAnon conspiracy theory and false claims of election fraud that are still a driving force behind violent rhetoric, even towards the judges who are overseeing the hundreds of January 6 cases as they make their way through the justice system.

According to the plea agreement, Meredith texted a friend the day after the riot that he was thinking of attending an event with Pelosi and “putting a bullet in her noggin on Live TV.”

Meanwhile these politicians like Pelosi have intentionally released millions of illegals from Mexico into the U.S., leaving a landscape of tens of thousands of American victims from this open border madness, such as violent crimes, drunk driving, fraud, rape, robbery, et al...

But just don’t you ever threaten Pelosi and her ruling class friends.

Outside of the Trump era none of these people in D.C. ever had any intention of securing our borders. The only thing Americans have received from D.C. in this regard is packaged lip service, a total well packaged con-job for many decades.

“Definition of tyranny.”

No it’s not.

“Canceling the votes of others at the point of a gun is the antithesis of what this country stands for”

Correct. So stop canceling the votes of others and pointing your guns at them.

Judge Amy is the reason we fought for independence.

Amy Berman Freisler:

“Let the record be crystal clear that it is not patriotism, it is not justified to descend on the Capitol at the behest of a candidate who lost an election and terrorize others”

Prosecutors in another January 6th trial:

"The defendant will be unable to identify any remarks made by former President Trump that authorized that illegal conduct, nor can there be any reasonable claim that President Trump intended to or actually authorized the defendant's particular criminal conduct."

This is called "having it both ways".

I think it's pretty clear that "the law is in their mouths".

Heck of an insurrection!

The only guy who had a gun and some ammo had car trouble and didn’t make it.

Who do these asshats think they’re fooling? (Yes, I mean you, Judge Amy Berman Jackson.)

“...and terrorize others...””

Likely that 14,000 hours of video says otherwise....

Did you know that this partisan POS used to be a legal commentator for XiNN, NBCia, PMSNBC and FauxNews? Bammy handlers liked what they saw when they installed this puppet on the DC District of Stooges.

King John [Roberts] Berman indeed.

What the left is dishonestly claiming January 6 was, is what it should have been.

What they falsely accuse us of now is what we will be forced to do sooner or later.

Steyn is apparently still going, and is in the hands of Alfred S. Irving, Associate Judge on the Superior Court of the District of Columbia.

Irving is not on the DC District court.
