Oath Keepers founder sentenced to 18 years in Jan. 6 seditious conspiracy case

[holdover]

WASHINGTON — The founder of the far-right Oath Keepers has been sentenced to 18 years in federal prison in connection with the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol following his conviction on seditious conspiracy.

“You, sir, present an ongoing threat and a peril to this country and to the republic and to the very fabric of this democracy," Judge Amit Mehta said before handing down the sentence.

Rhodes said he believes the only crime he committed was opposing those who are “destroying our country.”

Stewart Rhodes, who said after the Capitol attack that the rioters “should have brought rifles," received the longest sentence of any Jan. 6 defendant to date.

The guy that threatened to kill Brandon and crashed a U-Haul into WH barricades? Wrist slap.

 

[Budonahog]

Not really surprising considering Obummer put that Judge in place.

 

[subsonic]

A record number of political prisoners under Biden—far worse than Obama in that respect. The deep state is fully unleashed and unaccountable.

Punishment isn’t based on acts, harm, or intent, only based on demonstrated adherence to disfavored ideology and belonging to a disfavored demographic.

We are no longer a serious country. The police state wins again.

The Founding Fathers handed us a Republic if we can keep it ..

but sure as shit everyone wants to call the US a democracy ..

A Indian Born Judge .. Sitting on a US Bench .. how in the hell did he pass the US Citizens TEST! or did he ??

WTF

 

[Celt]

So the Clintons and Bidens (among others) selling sectets to our enemies, taking payments for influence, using govt agencies to create election interference to steal an election is not important, but what this guy did gets him 18 years.. hmm

The elites were scared shitless that day and want to make an example to keep the rest of the country in line. I don't think it will work.

"
CLAIM: U.S. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, a Democrat from New York, falsely claimed she faced rioters in the main Capitol building during the Jan. 6 insurrection.

AP’S ASSESSMENT: False. Ocasio-Cortez never claimed she was in the main Capitol building, nor did she claim she was face-to-face with a mob of violent rioters. In an Instagram Live video about the riots, she explained that she was in her office in a neighboring building on the Capitol complex, where she experienced a frightening encounter with a Capitol police officer who she said didn’t announce himself."

Ocasio-Cortez didn’t lie about location during Capitol riot

They were guilty of tresspass only, maybe, as the police let them in, for the most part.........

Court appeals showing eh tucker footage will over turn most convictions on appeal...SCOTUS certainly will...prosecutorial over reach.

No guns were used and this is all planned FBI/Obama/Schumer bullshit, and when Trump pardons them ---and he will, if elected it should be a national holiday.

There is no proof biden won the 2020 election, or that Trump lost it, as proper audits and criminal investigations of fraudulent votes did not occur.

We have an occupation government of criminals.

about par for the course..a person got 2 to 4 years in jail for running over a child twice in the Buffalo NY area. Yes,the child died.

Rhodes has a law degree. He knows how to say what he needs to say without breaking any laws. This is a POLITICAL prosecution which this country is not supposed to have. Freedom and Liberty my ass, if they really need to they can put you away.

What they don't realize is that the lesson they are sending is "if you're going to do it, you need to go all the way".

Once people can no longer petition the government about their greviencea peacefully, that only leaves one option.

Another political prisoner.

All for nothing more than destruction of public property and maybe trespassing, the dude wasn’t even there ! Sedition is basically treason and shouldn’t be a charge thrown around lightly.
Rhodes is a little off and said stupid things but he doesn’t deserve this conviction.

FWIW, they have lowered the bar for "sedition".

What we need is to regain control, and then use that new lower standard to prosecute half I'd Washington.

If what the Jan 6th crowd did was sedition, then surely Strzok and half the FBI leadership belong in jail, right?

Plus the leadership of the CIA, DOJ as well as hillary clinton.

 

[Grimscale]

Plus every politician that encouraged or defended the BLM riots.

Could probably focus on those in significant government office who have dual citizenship and inherent conflict of interest.

someone missed the irony of My post I think. Involving Politicians results in a far greater penalty than the COT. (common ordinary troop..civilian) 8 years in jail for trespass and 2-4 for homicide. I got an "angry" for My original post. LOL
