MAGAt insurrectionist rioter and domestic terrorist wannabe gets the full enchilada from Judge Royce Lamberth: maximum sentence allowed under the federal guidelines ... 51 months.
Nampa man sentenced for role in Jan. 6 insurrection
And he pled out.

Update:
"More than 700 people have been charged with crimes connected to the Capitol siege, and more than 200 of them have pleaded guilty. Besides Wilson, at least five other defendants have been sentenced for assaulting police and most received prison sentences ranging from 41 to 63 months." (Source)

Most of them should have been charged with trespassing and only given a fine.

One can be fairly certain that if they copped a plea and pled out, they pled out to less than what they could have been charged and convicted of had they gone to trial.
The one I have my eyes on at the moment is Guy Reffit's trial.
No idea what the maximum sentencing guidelines are for what he's charged with, but I expect it's substantial.
Hopefully he'll get every bit of it if he is found guilty.
The guy threatened to kill his own children.
Actually I got that wrong. A large amount shouldn’t even be charged with trespassing considering many were waved and let in by Police officers.(it’s on tape.) Many that didn’t go in and stayed outside were in a supposed restricted area where signs and barriers were removed by the informed ones.

Oh ?
Probably should review the talking points before composing and hitting the "Post reply" button.
You have made that point several times in this forum, but people are not persuaded. I'm not, the cops are not, the prosecutors are not, the attorneys who represent the defendants are not, and the courts are not. It seems the truth is these people should be arrested and charged with the real crimes they really committed. And so they are.
I don’t care if you’re not persuaded. It does not concern me in the least to persuade someone that has a deep seated bias toward Trump supporters in general and a great dislike for Trump personally.
As for the rest mentioned, it’s DC. A 95-5 Democrat voting bubble they all live in. Peer pressure and conformational bias are heavily at play there.

Your posts seem to say otherwise ... if you don't, then why do you keep repeating it ?
Hoping to keep any potential defectors onboard ?
Rally the troops ?

A top insurrectionist flips.

Joshua James, Oath Keepers member, pleads guilty to seditious conspiracy in January 6 investigation
Joshua James admitted that leader Stewart Rhodes told the group to prepare to use "lethal force" against anyone who tried to remove former President Trump from office. He will also cooperate with investigators.

The federal judge issued his ruling late Friday and the Ukraine/Russia war news bumped the story out of the spotlight.
Attorney and Trump operative John "Eastman said granting the committee access to his emails would amount to a historic legal finding that Trump — when he was the sitting president — likely committed a crime." (Source)
The court found that attorney Eastman was not an attorney for Trump in the circumstances in question; but when someone who is an attorney and is a close Trump operative tells a court that Trump likely committed a crime while in office, it's not something that strengthens Trump's hand in the legal game Trump is forced to play.
If Eastman is willing to do that, how close is he to fully flipping on Trump to save his own skin?

Truth Social Update
Excerpts from this source:
"Last week, Truth Social said it 'resolved the performance bottlenecks with new user registration and validation, and [is] working through the new user waitlist at an accelerated rate.'
"Several users have shared screenshots over social media suggesting the waitlist could be more than 1 million people.
"On Saturday night, after The Daily Beast’s story and reports by Politico, The New York Post and others about the lack of posts on the site — including by Trump himself — Truth Social emailed a “waitlist update” to “truthsayers” yet to be able to log on.
“'We are steadily welcoming new users from our temporary waitlist onto Truth Social for iOS',” Trump Media & Technology Group said. 'This phased rollout allows us to identify and remedy errors in real time as we onboard new users.'
“'Consequently, we need to ensure the platform remains stable and provides users with the best experience possible,' the group added."

On Feb 23, I gave Truth Social the benefit of the doubt, saying,
We will see.
The reports that Trump himself is not posting on Truth Social are interesting. While it is reported that Trump is on the site, I know of only one post by him so far.

While it remains possible for Truth Social to overcome its stumbles and become "big," my skepticism is growing. Truth Social CEO Devin Nunes has not modified or retracted his February statement that, "Our goal is, I think we’re going to hit it, I think by the by the end of March we’re going to be fully operational at least within the United States.” (Source)

This is an older article and it's not about Truth Social. But it highlights a MAGA-movement social media reality that Truth Social must overcome if it is to succeed.
Why MAGA Social Media Is a Hacker’s Wet Dream
The flurry of social media apps aimed at conservatives promise free speech will reign—but more often than not they’re crashing and burning before they can even get going.

BOOM !:
Be interesting to see at sentencing whether not taking a plea deal was a wise move or not.
I suspect not, although I don't know which judge heard the case.

A significant development for this guy and all others similarly charged. The jury found him guilty of:

- Obstruction of an Official Proceeding
- Entering or Remaining in a Restricted Area or Grounds with a Firearm
- Obstructing Officers During a Civil Disorder

Guy Reffitt, 1st accused Capitol rioter to stand trial, found guilty on all counts
A Texas man who is the first to stand trial in the prosecution of those who stormed the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6 was found guilty on all charges Tuesday.
