This is a life sentence for someone that age.
Is he the one who put his feet on the desk (very disrespectful) or the one that frowned at the policeman?
“Time for trial venue reform.”
Defendents should be able to choose the venue of their trial
“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.
What is the difference between that and what the Hillary supporters, Democrats, and BLM and Antifa did? Same story. Trump was illegally elected with the help of Russians (Big lie perpetuated by the FBI/CIA/Mueller/Democrats/Homeland ect.), then they proceeded to constantly attack his Presidency, and finally helped BLM and Antifa, Murder, Rape, and burn the nation. It’s the same thing, except this guy didn’t kill anybody, and he got 16 years.
That’s the guy that wasn’t there. He was in another state.
We are in difficult times. When the tide turns on these traitors in the democRAT party they will likely start a war to cover their crimes.
Stolen elections have consequences.
Still think America is better than Russia guys? This has been my argument the whole time for saying NATO should stay out of the war. America is as vicious and dangerous as Russia, if not more so. Political prisoners, no liberty etc. Good bye America, you were great.
doing what the communists do best jailing your opposition. Not one of the government sponsored BLM, woke Antifa have seen an hour behind bars.
Judge apparently has never read a book about this Countries Founding...
Yep.
Well... You aren’t wrong...
You would literally get less time for rape and murder (particularly if you are in a “protected” class).
Stinking communist bastards continue to run roughshod over the servile & indolent Aamerican sheeple...
There are no limits to tyranny...
There is no end in sight!
So:
Bow down!... Obey!... Snitch!...
Not only is he the only one willing to fix this...he's the only one who can fix this (and much of the rest of the hate American first rot out there)
DeSantis (& others) wouldn't go near any of this stuff because they would have to worry about poll numbers, getting re-elected and potential impeachments and assorted other similar attacks on them.
Trump would have no such burden.
Yep.
Dan White got half as long a prison sentence for killing two Democrat politicians.
“Judge is an Obama appointee.”
Where are the Trump judges?
Are they not getting assigned any of the J6 cases?
There are four Trump appointees on District Court for the District of Columbia:
Timothy J. Kelly
Trevor N. McFadden
Dabney L. Friedrich
Carl J. Nichols
It seems like most of the J6 judges are Obama appointees.
Beryl Howell
Christopher R. Cooper
Amit Mehta
Emmett G. Sullivan
I don’t think he was at the Capitol.
> I am beyond words.
“Extremely irritated” comes to mind. Will next come sedition charges for campaigning against the party in power?

“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.
No Mehta! You, and judges like you, pose an ongoing threat and peril to our Republic. (Yes, Republic, you sonofabitch.)
Any legal jargon you hear about seditious conspiracy, obstruction of an official proceeding, conspiracy to defraud the United States boils down to this. January 6th was the culmination of an attempted coup, a brazen attempt, as one rioter to put it shortly after January 6th, to overthrow the government. The violence was no accident. It represents seeing Trump's last stand, most desperate chance to halt the transfer of power...Rep. Bennie Thompson, D(Miss)
It will be very surprising if Donald is not indicted for seditious conspiracy etc.
