DOJ wants one month incarceration for both Nicholas J. Perretta and Mitchell Paul Vukich, who will be sentenced by Judge Tanya S. Chutkan at 11 a.m. on Wednesday.
Virginia Marie “Jenny” Spencer will be sentenced by Judge Colleen Kollar-Kotelly at 10 a.m. on Friday. The feds have asked for three months of incarceration for Spencer, who (along with her Chris Spencer) brought their 14-year-old child into the Capitol.
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"
"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 Harkrider
"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."
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:
"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.
