All of these people need to be pardoned. Problem is the elites in DC do not want them pardoned.

Judge is an Obama appointee.

“What we absolutely cannot have is a group of citizens who – because they did not like the outcome of an election, who did not believe the law was followed as it should be – foment revolution,” District Judge Amit Mehta said before handing down the sentence. “That is what you did.”

“I dare say Mr. Rhodes – and I never have said this to anyone I have sentenced – you pose an ongoing threat and peril to our democracy and the fabric of this country,” Mehta said.

The judge added: “I dare say we all now hold our collective breaths when an election is approaching. Will we have another January 6 again? That remains to be seen.”

Mehta said Rhodes, 58, has expressed no remorse and continues to be a threat.

“A seditious conspiracy, when you take those two concepts and put it together, is among the most serious crimes an American can commit,” the judge said. “It is an offense against the government to use force. It is an offense against the people of our country.”

Mehta on Thursday previously ruled that Rhodes’ actions amounted to domestic terrorism.

Note to self: Carefully consider which jurisdiction I am in before committing any act that can be twisted into a criminal conviction.

If I am in a Democrat enclave, do two things: 1) Commit no actions whatsoever, except the second, which is 2) Leave the Democrat enclave as quickly as possible,.

Who knows that the whole story of Mr. Rhodes is I’m always stunned to realize that some of these folks worked for the FBI as informants were used by the feds to spy on the BLM-Antifa leftists during the Floyd riots.

And what did the feds give them in return entrapment at the US Capitol on January 6th, 2021.

Fools. They thought the feds were their friends and did they end up getting burned.

They weren’t “fomenting revolution”!! They were invited in by the Capitol police, and the only gun that was used was the one by the cop that shot the unarmed Ashley Babbitt.

Orwellian destruction of language.
The Communists are in charge of our country now. I don’t know how we can get it back, but I do know we need Trump more than ever.
