    He’s still getting less than four months. It should be a lot worse to reflect the severity of what he did.

      Article doesn’t really say what he did, but the prosecutors only asked for twenty one days so probably fuck all

        Why are you calling other people in this thread dumb for not reading the article when you haven’t done the most basic amount of looking into it yourself?

        Here is the sentencing memorandum from June (a few weeks prior to his sovcit outburst mentioned in the article, if I’m reading correctly) where the 21 day sentence was initially requested. It’s reachable in two clicks from the article, and it describes in excruciating detail all of his participation in Jan 6, as well as the broader context around his social media posts.

        He pleaded guilty to one of the four counts he was originally charged with, and the AP notes that over 400 Jan 6th defendants have done the same. It’s unclear from the filing whether a plea agreement was offered; I would guess that it was, and that this is probably an effort to reduce the overall burden on the court system, because a) there are over 1200 individuals charges with crimes in connection with the events of Jan 6, and b) there is plenty of damning video evidence of most of it.

          Gee, what a mystery why I’d return an insult in kind. You must be as brilliant as the other guy
