For the past two weeks several media outlets have been reporting on the lack of DOJ evidence to support the claims of “sedition” and a grand conspiracy around the January 6th DC protests.
Today Politico takes the walk-back reports one step further by warning the leftist ideologues that most of those arrested and/or accused will likely not serve any jail-time and will instead face misdemeanor trespassing violations.
A POLITICO analysis of the Capitol riot-related cases shows that almost a quarter of the more than 230 defendants formally and publicly charged so far face only misdemeanors. Dozens of those arrested are awaiting formal charges, even as new cases are being unsealed nearly every day.
In recent days, judges, prosecutors and defense attorneys have all indicated that they expect few of these “MAGA tourists” to face harsh sentences.
[…] The prospect of dozens of Jan. 6 rioters cutting deals for minor sentences could be hard to explain for the Biden administration, which has characterized the Capitol Hill mob as a uniquely dangerous threat. Before assuming office, Biden said the rioters’ attempt to overturn the election results by force “borders on sedition”; Attorney General Merrick Garland has called the prosecutions his top early priority, describing the storming of Congress as “a heinous attack that sought to disrupt a cornerstone of our democracy, the peaceful transfer of power to a newly elected government.
Justice Department prosecutors sent expectations sky-high in early statements and court filings, describing elaborate plots to murder lawmakers — descriptions prosecutors have tempered as new details emerged. (read more)
From murderous “domestic terrorists” to trespassing misdemeanors. That’s quite a revision.
But Congress impeached a President for “inciting insurrection,” even as no insurrection can be found. What idiots.
Oh they are not idiots. They knew perzactly what they were doing with the second shampeachment. They all knew President Trump “incited” nothing. They all knew there was no “riot”, no “insurrection”, no threats to any of them, no violence – except for the murder of Ashli Babbit – but they needed the propaganda. Their sycophants are clueless tools who repeat what ever their masters tell them.
Now these cases are been put away quietly and the seals are none the wiser.
The video of the Senator in the diner saying everyone in D.C. knew what was going on and knew about it weeks in advance…
It should be painfully obvious that the Democrats, the media, and other maniacs too numerous to count “pounced” on the January 6th protest because it seemed to the reptiles that it could be used retroactively to justify their four-year serial slaughter of truth, common sense, and decency.
That should be obvious; and it applies in particular to the NeverTrump Republican maniacs, assorted RINOs, and dainty “conservative” pundits who believed, insanely, that now all would be forgiven them. They are the truly deluded.
In fact, what they have actually accomplished is simply to extend their run of contemptible, not to mention unlawful and corrupt and outrageous, tantrums stemming from the 2016 election into a losing streak destined to humiliate them worse than the Müller disaster ever did.
When Capitol Police open barricades, lead citizens to areas, converse with them openly without informing them they are trespassing and will be held criminally accountable, it is impossible to prosecute.
And yet many are being held in jail cells?
For people who could continue to froth over the proz pee puddle for 4 years, it does not matter.
If I received a “misdemeanor trespassing violation” for my presence at the Capitol building, I would proudly have it framed for all to see.
Probably a very small percentage of those charged ARE actually Trump supporters, and that is why this is quietly going away. Purpose served.
But a trespassing misdemeanor is more than antifa rioters ever faced in DC.
Of course the “insurection” provided a nice distraction for the real story at the time. The theft of the election!
