DOJ calls for 8 years in prison for Jan. 6 rioter dubbed ‘bullhorn lady’
The Hill ^ | 10/12/2023 | LAUREN SFORZA

The Justice Department is seeking 8 years in prison for a Pennsylvania woman accused of directing Jan. 6 rioters into the Capitol building with a bullhorn.

Federal prosecutors said in a sentencing memo Wednesday that they are seeking eight years in prison for Rachel Marie Powell, 41, who was convicted of all charges brought against her in July. Obstruction of an official proceeding, destruction of government property, entering a restricted area with a weapon and engaging in violence on Capitol grounds were among her charges.

The prosecutors said that they are seeking the eight-year sentence due to “her conduct on January 6, 2021, including her violent altercations with law enforcement at the West Plaza, her smashing of a window at the Lower West Terrace with an ice axe and a cardboard pole, her encouragement and instructions to other rioters on how to ‘take’ the U.S. Capitol, and for her utter lack of remorse.

The country is done. No unbiased justice system, no country.

Killers get lighter sentences and the Congress is silent because they are cowards living off the people.

“Obstruction of an official proceeding.” You mean like this?

He can’t read English, doesn’t know what “FIRE ALARM” means.
maybe we should have a minimal aptitude test to run for elected office. Like reading at a 5th grade level.

8 years? Remind me of Epp’s sentence deal he got, or should I call him Megaphone guy?

There is no equal justice under the law, when Democrats appoint prosecutors and appoint judges.

Trump has to become POTUS for these people to not perish in prison.

If she broke the window it’s possible she could have been one of the Antifa group. I know they were there and broke the window.

What a disgrace!..... FBI buddy Ray Epps told people to "get in there!"... Capital police where opening the doors to people and escorting them around inside. And they broke in????

AND now there's more evidence the FBI was involved in setting the whole thing up!! WHERE THE HELL ARE THE DEFENSE ATTORNIES???

I stopped voting in congressional races in 2016.

We haven’t been self-governing for decades.

Too many pretend otherwise, keep doing the same thing and expect different results.

What happened to that Nazi judge famous for sending people to their deaths in one sided judicial proceedings in Ger. after WWII? I hope that happens here to.

Good thing she didn’t march in Pittsburg and throw a Molotov cocktail. Then she’d really be in trouble

There are two geographic locations in the world that need to be utterly destroyed: Teheran Iran and Washington DC.

Take out those two Satanic outpost and you will have peace on earth for a thousand years. /spit

8 years means she clearly has no connection to the Feds.

(The country is done.)

I wish I could disagree.

Burn cities, loot, assault in an organized riot - get off scot-free.

Wrong political views? 8-17 years.
