“We will fight this no jail for us.” — Mitchell Paul Vukich

“I just can’t see us getting in trouble.” — Nicholas J. Perretta

Jan. 6 defendants Mitchell Vukich and Nicholas Perretta will be sentenced on Wednesday.

DOJ want Judge Tanya Chutkan to give them each a month in jail.
"Despite advising his co-defendant to tell the FBI to 'fuxk off’, Perretta later voluntarily agreed to an interview with the FBI…”

— a line that got edited out of the amended version of DOJ’s sentencing memo for Jan. 6 defendant Nicholas Perretta
It looks like the feds mixed up who texted who suggesting the other tell the FBI to “fuxk off.
"After the FBI interview Vukich, his text messages to Perretta demonstrate a total lack of remorse.” storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.usco…
Mitchell Vukich’s grandmother says he’s "literally the opposite" of a terrorist and that he went to D.C. to cheer up his friend and "there were no concerts or sports games to go to.”
Defense: "Those who have been charged even with misdemeanor offenses have faced national opprobrium… There are punishments beyond incarceration and those, when aired to the public at large, provide for deterrence beyond what incarceration achieves.” storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.usco…
Notably, the defense team claims that their client — who wore a QAnon / Trump “Punisher” skull t-shirt to storm the Capitol — did not support or vote for Trump.

L. Brent Bozell Jr. and L. Brent Bozell III shaped the conservative movement in the 20th and 21st century.

Justice Department prosecutors are seeking almost 12 yrs in federal prison (and a domestic terrorism enhancement) for L. Brent Bozell IV, who stormed the Capitol on Jan 6.

"There are few rioters on January 6 who were involved in as many pivotal breaches as Bozell."

"during his trial testimony, Bozell came up with outrageous justifications for his conduct on January 6 that were both inconsistent with the video evidence and implausible" Image

"Donald Trump and his advisers knew that he had in fact lost the election but despite this knowledge they engaged in a massive effort to spread false and fraudulent information to convince huge portions of the U.S. population that fraud had stolen the election from him."

-- Defense sentencing memo for Jan. 6 defendant Alex HarkriderImage

"Trump refused to concede. He showed himself willing to undermine confidence in the democratic process and in time, managed to convince nearly three-quarters of his supporters (to include Mr. Harkrider) that the loser was actually the winner." storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.usco…

"when a friend who has saved your life makes stupid statements in public, you don’t tell them to shut up. You just put up, and that is what Alex did."

So, yes, today, Ryan Nichols, Ryan Nichols was sentenced to more than five years in federal prison and given a $200K fine.
"I will f---ing die for this," Nichols said on video after the Jan. 6 attack. "But before I do that, I plan on making other people die first, for their country, if it gets down to that."

nbcnews.com/politics/justi…
Back in 2021, Ryan Nichols told the FBI that he felt Donald Trump et al. "had led him in the wrong direction."

Now that Trump has a solid shot at winning the election and potentially pardoning Nichols, he and his MAGA lawyer didn't take that path.

DOJ seeking nearly seven years in federal prison for Ryan Nichols, who will be sentenced on Thursday.
Ryan Nichols talked about his desire to drag politicians through the streets before getting to the Capitol, assaulted law enforcement on video, then confessed on video in the third person.

This is what Donald Trump Jr. falsely claimed about his case, before Ryan Nichols pleaded.
Before Donald Trump Jr. took up his cause, Ryan Nichols told the FBI that he “no longer trusted” Donald Trump and his ilk because he “felt they had led him in the wrong direction.”

A lawyer for Jan. 6 defendant Russell Taylor wrote in a sentencing memo today that Ronald Reagan appointed Judge Royce C. Lamberth now has "the equivalent of a PhD in the events of January 6th."

Here's what Judge Lamberth has been saying about the GOP's "preposterous" rhetoric: Image
"The Court is accustomed to defendants who refuse to accept that they did anything wrong. But in my thirty-seven years on the bench, I cannot recall a time when such meritless justifications of criminal activity have gone mainstream." nbcnews.com/politics/justi…
"While Lamberth did not refer to the politicians by name, he used quotations from Reps. Andrew Clyde... Marjorie Taylor Greene... Elise Stefanik... former President Donald Trump..." nbcnews.com/politics/justi…

There really are some strang moments in the Jan. 6 CCTV footage being released by House Republicans. Like here's the elusive #Individual4 revealing his face because he goes to take a swig of stolen Coke, and then here's Kevin McCarthy in the same spot hours later.

That might just be the best face shot of #individual4!
