What Seditious Conspiracy?[Jan 6th Defendants]
Declassified - Substack ^ | 9/7/23 | Julie Kelly

Posted on 09/08/2023 12:39:54 PM PDT by CFW

On September 5, U.S. District Court Judge Timothy Kelly sentenced the last of five members of the Proud Boys convicted by a D.C. jury of various crimes, including seditious conspiracy, earlier this year. Kelly imposed the longest sentence to date in any January 6 case by ordering Enrique Tarrio, the group’s ex-leader, to serve 22 years in prison even though Tarrio was not in the Washington, D.C. that day.

Similar to his decision on the fate of Tarrio’s co-defendants, Kelly consented to the Department of Justice’s request to add a terror enhancement to Tarrio’s sentence, which dramatically elevated the base amount of prison time under federal sentencing guidelines. The crime? Shaking a temporary metal fence on Capitol grounds. Admitting that Tarrio “did not directly participate in the fence's destruction,” now officially a federal crime of terror as I explained here, Kelly nonetheless claimed Tarrio somehow contributed to the destruction of government property from a Baltimore hotel room.

As far as I've seen, Julie Kelly is the only reporter who has reported on the cases in D.C. and highlighted the egregiously harsh sentences received by the Defendants compared to similar (and far more violent) cases in the past.

The DC J6 judges are corrupt beyond belief. The justice system has collapsed.

I hope Trump pardons them all and awards them the medal of freedom. Won’t that get the left’s panties in a bunch.

Can someone fill me in as to exactly what PHYSICAL illegal thing Tarrio did to merit 22 years in a federal prison?

Also did he plan and/or coordinate any of the demonstrations?

Have their been appeals of these sentences?
Since there is zero coverage, I don’t know.

They seem “cruel and unusual” on their faces...years for trespassing?? 22yrs and not even in attendance?

This is gulag stuff.

This is not justice.

In the Gulag, eight-year sentences were typical. That is what Alexander Solzhenitsyn received. He had written letters critical of Stalin using a pseudonym for the supreme commander.

The punishments for the rowdy boys of January 6th are an outrage.
