Kickass. Now tie them to the Secret Service and lets roll all these traitors on up.
It’s importantly worth noting the unanimous nature of criminal juries.  Hundreds and hundreds of people of all political persuasions have convicted pretty much every Jan 6 defendant that has insanely decided to go to trial.  And not by a 2:1 or 3:4 margin.  They have voted in complete unanimity that the actions taken on 1/6 were a crime committed against democracy.  This persistent narrative that it was protected free expression of political ideas has been roundly contradicted by hundreds and hundreds of people agreeing unanimously that it was not, it was a criminal act. >

And the DOJ is batting 1,000. All wins and no losses. >

Easy to do when you are playing whiffle ball.
They need to go after the ringleaders. >

Seems like every case they win further strengthens their argument against the ring leaders. >

Only if they go after them. They don't appear to be doing much. >

Oath Keepers: enjoy the freedom of prison. >

It is ironic that the government that they hated so much that they wanted to destroy it is now going to be providing them three hots and a cot for free for a good number of year. >

It's not free, they get a bill for it when they leave prison. >

Citation please. >

I thought this only applied to those who obtained a judgement against the state they are being held in and then their stay is debited from their settlement/judgement amount >

It’s county by county and state by state, but no, it’s called pay to stay and the jail or prison charges you for each night you stayed during your sentence. In some places, you can pay extra for nicer housing, private rooms, and more privileges. >

What the actual fuck is wrong with America lol. >

Same thing that's wrong with any country: the rich and powerful. >

Seditious Conspiracy charges and convictions bode well for later charges brought up the chain of command. This is now a recognized legal fact that the events of January 6th were not merely a "riot" or "unfortunate event", this was a coordinated attempt to overthrow the US government by subverting the results of a free and fair election. Fuck the lot of them, Trump and his dipshit cronies as well. >

Yep, this is the second round of seditious conspiracy convictions. 
Going up the chain easier now that two different juries have convicted on the charge. >

People don't seem to understand how difficult getting convictions on seditious conspiracy actually is.
Like it's a big swing. It's not a small or easily proven charge. >

Isn't this the most successful sedition conspiracy convictions since WW2? >

I thought since the civil war? Or is that when the law went into effect? >

iirc Puerto Rican separatists were convicted under seditious conspiracy - the ones who shot up the Capitol >

Looks I'll be diving into everyone charged, the results for them, when, and definitely what the reasoning/event/thing was that they did getting them charged.
I really do find cases like those that get charged under sedation conspiracy very interesting. That 0lus, those who don't learn from history are doomed to repeat it >

You making plans to learn from their mistakes? Not sure most of us are likely to repeat the decisions of people who wanted to overthrow the government. >

Na, not me. Too old and liberal to try that.
All seriousness is I do hope my children and grandchildren learn the truth about Jan 6th and not the crap some people say about it and can recognize it before it grows too much and stop it way before there's another insurrection/coup >

Write a book about it. >

This is the second trial on that particular charge related to Jan 6. There is at least one more in the pipeline. >

The Proud Boys SC trial is ongoing, which is the only other I can think of off the top of my head. >

I'm hoping this is a good sign that the Proud Boys will get convicted. I REALLY want to see those traitorous racist scumbags put in a cell for years and have their lives absolutely ruined. >

Something tells me the Afro-Latino leader of a white supremacist group is going to have a hard time finding friends in prison. He'll have to cozy up to the guards just to have someone watching his back. >

He is a well known snitch, he will probably be protected (until he isn't anymore). >

WASHINGTON (AP) — Four members of the Oath Keepers were convicted Monday of seditious conspiracy in the Jan. 6, 2021 Capitol attack in the second major trial of far-right extremists accused of plotting to forcibly keep President Donald Trump in power.
The verdict against Joseph Hackett of Sarasota, Florida; Roberto Minuta of Prosper, Texas; David Moerschel of Punta Gorda, Florida; and Edward Vallejo of Phoenix, comes weeks after after a different jury convicted the group’s leader, Stewart Rhodes, in the mob’s attack that halted the certification of President Joe Biden’s electoral victory.
It’s another major victory for the Justice Department, which is also trying to secure sedition convictions against the former leader of the Proud Boys and four associates. The trial against Enrique Tarrio and his lieutenants opened earlier this month in Washington and is expected to last several weeks.
They are some of the most serious cases brought so far in the sweeping Jan. 6 investigation, which continues to grow two years after the riot. The Justice Department has brought nearly 1,000 cases and the tally increases by the week.
Defense attorneys sought to downplay violent messages as mere bluster and said the Oath Keepers came to Washington to provide security at events before the riot. They seized on prosecutors’ lack of evidence that the Oath Keepers had an explicit plan to storm the Capitol before Jan. 6 and told jurors that the extremists who attacked the Capitol acted spontaneously like thousands of other rioters. >


...which continues to grow two years after the riot...
...events before the riot...
...told jurors that the extremists who attacked the Capitol acted spontaneously like thousands of other rioters.

These traitors were literally just convicted of attempting to overthrow the government and AP is still using the term "riot"? This wasn't a gathering of hooligans after their team just won the Super Bowl. This was an insurrection. >

Great. Now do Trump, Hawley, Biggs, Gosar, Jordan, Ginny Thomas, MTG, Gaetz, Bannon, Boebert etc. >

And the creep with the Nixon tattoo. >

Fucking roger stone. >

I despise him so much my brain blocked his name. >

I feel ya. He’s really one of the worst. Bannon and Flynn, right there with him. >

Imagine ruining your life in the name of a perverted game show host. Like, LOL, what a waste. >

Just like the asshole who went and shot nails at an FBI field office just to bleed to death in a cornfield for a morbidly obese liar who lives off donor money in a beachfront resort. These people are dumber than dogshit. >

It seems like that particular death stemmed the violence towards FBI sites >

So all these dudes are getting convicted but the people who riled them up are still running around? Makes sense. >

Hasn’t even been charged. SMH. >

Now that they have been convicted maybe they will trade some intel for not doing a full twenty. >

First one to squeal gets the deal >

My neighbor thinks these people are actually Antifa. >

Why would anti-fascists want to subvert democracy snd install their orange god ?   Anti-anti-fascists want to overthrow democracy and install a god.    Fascists do that shit.   Anti-fascists like voting,  and democracy. >

Don’t waste any energy trying to understand their rationale. I’ve tried. It makes no sense >

My mother’s most memorable advice to me dealing with my then toddler that applies at any age…
“You cannot argue rationally with irrational people.” >


The judge didn’t immediately set a date for sentencing. The judge denied prosecutors’ bid to lock up the men while they await sentencing, finding them not to be a risk of flight. They were ordered to remain in home detention with electronic monitoring. 

Wild, you just convicted 4 people of seditious conspiracy but don't think they are flight risk? >

Intentional move by the feds to catch them talking or going to someone else? >

The feds were the ones asking that the guilty parties remain in custody until sentencing >

Sounds like what they would say if they wanted to catch them talking >

You know how to take an oath,  but you just don't know how to keep the oath. - Jerry >

Sir, I know what an oath is.
No, I don’t think ya do! >

The comparison I like to share is that of Charles Manson. He was a hellacious murderer, a total nutcase, serial killing madman. Right? RIGHT?? No, Manson never killed anyone. But he was directly responsible for the events of the "Manson Murders". He directed, coordinated and planned it and he went to prison for murder.
So if he can go to prison for murder even though he didn't physically do it, what about Trump on January 6th? We just legally established this was attempted sedition, what about the guy who planned it all? >

Manson did kill someone, on the second night, drove a god damn bayonet through the guys throat. >

That was Tex Watson wasn't it?  I wanna say Manson did murder someone earlier, a drug dealer maybe (the details escape me), but he wasn't there at the Tate LaBianca killings. >

I love it when the news covers something good and makes me smile. >

Keep it going. Don't stop until everyone involved has been given a proper trial. >

Are these the Antifa folks have been talking about?  /s >

good. may each & every one that they have a case against see this conviction.
fuck terrorists. >


“We got a trial by residents of a small judicial district who in one way or another were almost all impacted by the events of January 6th,” Shipley said. “I think that raises some real troubling issues.

Lawyers doing lawyer stuff to set up the appeal.  It's their job to keep representing their client whether it's likely to work or not. >

Our democracy was impacted. Everyone who voted against trump was impacted. That was their goal. >

I hope they are reminded daily that when Trump had the power to pardon them, he chose not to. >

Although I hate how long this is taking plus no impact on planners, glad that it's being established legally that this was a sedition. If that is solidified, *if and when * the real culprits are brought to courts, the sedition aspect will not be up to debate. >

Meanwhile, their fatass moronic orange deity shits his diaper in peace. >

2023 is the year of accountability! >

Now connect the bank accounts. >

Conservative here, and I think the government is taking Jan 6th WAY to lightly.  Most convicted have gotten slapped on the wrist.  100yrs ago they'd be hanged or shot. >

Let’s bring back the trials by combat >

Isn't that how this started, sir?!?  :-D >

Now do Trump & all of those who asked for a pardon. >

To me the best part about this is that these idiots will be in jail in 2024 and won’t be able to cause any trouble for the next election. 
I honestly don’t think these are the types of organizations where someone else will step up to the leadership role. They are just too stupid. >

And hopefully...HOPEFULLY...this will have a chilling effect when Trump loses (again) and tries to mobilize his hillbilly army (again.)
FFS it makes me so angry he continues to walk free. >

I was seriously disgusted seeing video of people in military gear walking in formation up the steps of the US Capitol. WTF is so wrong in this country that you would want to take up arms and do some rogue shit like that?! They earned those convictions. >

This is good news. Now, please, get the bigger fish. And then the biggest ones. >

Only poor people suffer the consequences.
