Oath Keepers Florida chapter leader Kelly Meggs was sentenced to 12 years in prison Thursday for seditious conspiracy and other charges related to the U.S. Capitol breach on Jan. 6, 2021.
This is the second sentence to be handed down to a defendant found guilty of seditious conspiracy with relation to the Jan. 6 riot, with the first being handed to Oath Keepers founder Stewart Rhodes, who was sentenced Thursday to 18 years in prison.
Rhodes received the longest sentence, to date, related to the attack on the Capitol.
Along with a 12-year prison sentence, Meggs, 53, of Dunnellon, Florida, was also sentenced to three years of supervised release.
“Today’s sentences reflect the grave threat the actions of these defendants posed to our democratic institutions,” Attorney General Merrick B. Garland said.
“The United States proved at trial that the Oath Keepers plotted for months to violently disrupt the peaceful transfer of power from one administration to the next. The Justice Department will continue to do everything in our power to hold accountable those criminally responsible for the January 6th attack on our democracy.”
Rhodes and Meggs were found guilty on Nov. 29, 2022, after an eight-week trial, followed by three days of deliberation.
Meggs was also found guilty of conspiracy to obstruct an official proceeding, obstruction of an official proceeding, conspiracy to prevent an officer from discharging duties and tampering with documents or proceedings.

Hell the bass turds don’t give murderers 12 years anymore. These bass turds really hate normal Americans.
Exactly!
The average time that a person convicted of murder does in the United States before initial release is fifteen years———————————————————————————————
Out of every 1,000 reported rapes (most never reported)
41 lead to a felony conviction and 33 rapists are incarcerated.
About three-quarters of violent ofenders released
from state prison in 2016 served at least one year
before initial release.
The average time served by state prisoners
released in 2016, from initial admission to initial
release, was 2.6 years, and the median time served
was 1.3 years.
On average, state prisoners serving time for
property, drug, or public-order offenses served
less than two years before initial release.

THESE SENTENCES CANNOT, MUST NOT, STAND!
If a Republican is elected next year (far from certain...voter fraud) he/she should pardon just about everyone.
Any comment from Trump? I’m not of course expecting any action, but how about a simple post on his website.
You didn’t watch Trump KO CNN some weeks ago?
Pay attention.
Trump “I am inclined to pardon many of them,” Trump said at a town hall hosted by CNN at Saint Anselm College in New Hampshire. “I can’t say for every single one, because a couple of them, probably they got out of control.”
He added that “most likely” he would pardon “a large portion of them.”
Merrick B. Garland is a threat to our democratic institutions.
Like what?
Extreme.
The coupist Biden/Obama cartel know they deserve sedition and are afraid.
Political prisoners in the US.
“What about those people who were rioting and burning and destroying stuff just down the street from them?”
You mean the Episcopal church that Antifa or BLM tried to set on fire? I think the progressive church made it clear that they were okay with that. However, President Trump had himself photographed in front of the same church, holding a Bible. The church was horrified by that.
Attention hardcore maga morons waiting for "the plan" to come to fruition: THIS is what WINNING looks like.

One of these rappers made a video of him killing a MAGA hat wearing trump supporter. Meanwhile guys risked their lives and DIED for his sorry ass. NOTHING.
