A Time for Consequences Trump and his supporters fought the law and the law, it seems, is winning. https://plus.thebulwark.com/p/a-time-for-consequences
I say Biden should pardon them if Trump gets in. Better than they be replaced with possibly competent foot-soldiers.
University of Colorado seeks conservative scholar — after one of the previous was indicted The University of Colorado at Boulder is seeking a new Visiting Professor of Conservative Thought, a post previously held by Trump's now-indicted ex-lawyer John Eastman. https://www.rawstory.com/john-eastman-colorado-job/
DOJ appeals lenient sentences handed down by Trumpy judge to Proud Boy insurrectionists. DOJ appeals sentences of Proud Boys members https://thehill.com/regulation/court-battles/4259174-doj-appeals-sentences-proud-boys-members/ The Justice Department on Monday appealed the sentences of five members of the Proud Boys, including its former leader, Enrique Tarrio, aiming to get stiffer penalties for those convicted for their role in the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol. Tarrio, Ethan Nordean, Joseph Biggs and Zachary Rehl were convicted of seditious conspiracy in connection with the attack, while Dominic Pezzola was found guilty of other charges. While each of the four men convicted of seditious conspiracy received sentences of at least 15 years in prison — Tarrio’s sentence was 22 years — many of the figures fell far below what was originally sought by prosecutors. The notice of appeal does not include any legal arguments, and instead alerts the court to prosecutors’ plans. Still, the move falls in line with the way the Justice Department handled other seditious conspiracy cases, including sentences handed down for members of the Oath Keepers, with prosecutors likewise appealing sentences for members of the far-right militia group. Prosecutors requested 33 years in prison for Tarrio, whom they painted as the driving force of a plot to stop the peaceful transfer of power from then-President Trump to then-President-elect Biden. Tarrio’s attorneys had recommended a sentence of no more than 15 years in prison and argued against the use of a terrorism enhancement in deciding his punishment. U.S. District Judge Timothy Kelly ultimately did apply a terrorism adjustment to Tarrio’s sentencing guidelines, but he would not grant the full sentence sought by federal prosecutors. He did, however, issue a higher sentence than other extremist members, in the hopes it would act as a deterrent.
The DOJ should be investigated for political crimes Only after pleading guilty did the DOJ inform Matthew that they would seek a TERRORISM enhancement to his sentencing, which would raise his sentence to a potential 9 years in federal prison. 4 days after receiving news that the DOJ would push for this sentencing enhancement, Matthew went into his garage, put a rope around his neck, and hung himself.
Good Riddance. Insurrectionists deserve lengthy prison terms. Sad that he was too chicken to face the consequences for his crimes. And this Twitter post does not relay a factual perspective of the events involving his sentencing.
The latest legal filing by Jack Smith's team shows they ALSO couldn't help but notice that the same group that Trump told on national TV to "stand back and STAND BY" during a debate, were convicted of "seditious conspiracy" for their actions on January 6th. As their seditious leader, Trump should get longer sentences than these chumps.
