Crime and Punishment — January 6 Edition

Criminal sentencing conveys a society’s moral sense. The worst crimes get the death penalty or life without parole. At the other extreme, misdemeanor offenders may be met with fines, diversion programs, time served in county jail, or probation. In between are many gradations, which reflect the individual characteristics of the offender and the objective aspects of the crime itself.

This week, we saw extreme sentencing for the Capitol protest on January 6, 2021. Specifically, members of the Proud Boys received draconian sentences for the archaic, rarely prosecuted crime of “seditious conspiracy.”

Conservatives love to play “Hypocrisy Bingo,” pointing out the left’s double standards. But the left is not going to be shamed from its current course. Advancing leftism is the lodestar for their morality.

That is why there is now a very clear hierarchy for those caught up within the federal criminal justice system. Left-wing offenders are the least culpable, and they get prosecutors to argue for downward departures. Then come street criminals, who are sentenced within the guidelines. Then there are those on the right, who face novel charges and get the book thrown at them.

The silence of the GOP leadership in regards to these sentences is deafening. Only one or two Congressmen are speaking out on the defendant's behalf. And even they have been recently silent.

McCarthy lied to us when he said he would make the video of the happenings on January 6th available to the public. There has been two or three times when journalists said they would be releasing them, then once again silent. What little we have seen however, gives more than just a little credence to the accusations that it was an "inside" job.

I hope Matt Gaetz does proceed with removing McCarthy from the speakership. It has been proven that McCarthy can't be trusted. The question is, however, who can be?

When Trump gets elected he needs to demand the resignation letters of every single appointed position. He needs to have his appointments lined up and ready to go. Each department needs to do a deep evaluation of everyone under them.

I think any personnel participating on any raid needs to be terminated. Following unlawful orders is not an excuse.

When Trump gets elected he needs to demand the resignation letters of every single appointed position.

Some of President Trump's past appointments were and are snakes. We need to pray that President Trump will not be misled by the establishment and deep state - as he fires and hires w/in his administration.
