Federal prosecutors are attempting to pursue harsher sentences for those arrested for non-violent crimes in connection with the Jan. 6 riot at the Capitol by branding them as terrorists while acknowledging their actions don’t meet the legal definition of terrorism.
Court documents first flagged by independent journalist Michael Tracey from the case of Paul Hodgkins, the first Jan. 6 rioter convicted of a felony to be sentenced, show U.S. Attorney Mona Sedky saying that “we are framing this in the context of domestic terrorism,” even though his actions do not meet any legal definition of terrorism.
“January 6th was an act of domestic terrorism,” Sedky said at Hodgkins’ sentencing hearing. “And we concede that Mr. Hodgkins himself is not under the legal definition a domestic terrorist, we’re not assuming he is. But he was part and parcel of an act of domestic terrorism that was going on around him, and that context is relevant when the Court is deciding how to sentence him.”
“So back to the need for deterrence and why we’re framing this in the context of domestic terrorism is because the need to effectuate general deterrence is really almost never higher. It’s especially, especially strong in the context of cases involving domestic terrorism. And the guidelines themselves recognize this need for sort of enhanced care and enhanced punishment,” Sedky continued.
There is talk that those convicted will also lose their US Citizenship per some old law used against the confederate soldiers. Gen Lee never got his citizenship restored while he was alive.
Who cares, you all should have cared enough to give a shit a long time ago so it never got to this point or never got this bad! Now all you retards do is complain and whine about everything, and still won’t do jack shit to stop it or fix it! That is why I call you retards slaves!
Really sounds like a win then..illegals get free housing food, cloths, education, medical and they wont dont pay taxes!!
Meanwhile, BLM and antics are allowed to kill, burn and destroy without restraint. America is being destroyed from the inside out and the government is facilitating her demise.
Yup, lets see if they hold them to the same standard of “terrorism”. They cannot have it both ways.
Federal prosecutors that Biden has rushing and packed the system with. His handlers have done this under the radar and I would imagine they were offer this high seat in return for being paid puppets.
Of course they are. These prosecutors are deep state traitors.
Pelosi and DC Mayor allowed this incident to take place along with the FBI and other ANARCHIST that took place PER NEWS MEDIA.
Are they being prosecuted?
Time to Prosecute the Prosecutors !!!!
Democrats are the Terrorists , Not the American people on Jan 06, 2021 who were Unarmed & doing their
Lawful duty to Protest a Dirty Election , where Democrat Party Cheated America out of their Votes for POTUS
TRUMP !!!!!
The FBI and DOJ need to be defunded. When Democrats invade federal buildings there are no consequences. A Republican farts in their own home in DC and they get charged with bio terrorism
Need Harsher sentences for Traitors in congress (Democrats ) !!!!!! They are the Branded > Terrorists !!!!!
