Judge asks prosecutors why Jan 6 protesters are being treated worse than BLM rioters
A federal judge appointed to his post in 2017 by then-President Donald Trump reportedly dropped a stunning truth bomb about the Jan. 6th rioters during a sentencing hearing Friday for convicted Jan. 6th rioter Danielle Doyle.Enable
U.S. District Judge Trevor McFadden noted that prosecutors have been treating the Jan. 6th rioters who’d rioted for a single day significantly harsher than the Black Lives Matter and Antifa rioters who’d rioted for an entire summer and longer.
The judge specifically “questioned why federal prosecutors had not brought more cases against those accused in 2020 summertime protests, reading out statistics on riot cases in the nation’s capital that were not prosecuted,” according to the Associated Press.
He also accused the D.C. prosecutors who were present in his courtroom that day of having fallen prey to the same inconsistency.
“I think the U.S. attorney would have more credibility if it was even-handed in its concern about riots and mobs in this city,” McFadden said.
And so, frustrated by this inconsistency, the judge ultimately chose on Friday to buck the prosecution’s demand that Doyle be sentenced to months of house arrest and instead sentenced her to just probation — the exact same sentence granted to many of the so-called “peaceful protesters” from last year.
Or, rather, the “peaceful protesters” who hadn’t just had their charges outright dropped.
Despite the light sentence for Doyle, McFadden did have some tough words for her.
He accused her of “acting like those looters and rioters last year” who made “us all feel less safe” and called her actions a “national embarrassment.”
The evidence against Doyle includes surveillance footage showing her “climbing through a window from the outside into the interior of the U.S. Capitol building.”
Once inside, she can be seen non-threateningly “walking down an interior staircase of the Capitol building, known as the Supreme Court Chambers stairs, holding a cellphone in her right hand” — almost as if sightseeing.
And that’s about it …
Meanwhile, many of the BLM/Antifa rioters from last year were seen harassing and/or assaulting bystanders, looting/vandalizing stores, setting fire to buildings, shutting down city traffic, etc.
