For some reason, I don't think this strategy is going to work.  

 

 

 

Maybe is trying to show the court he’s insane?

I’m glad he got the sentence he got.  I’m also glad we now have precedence of a 12 year sentence for all assaults on LEO’s while on the line of duty.  
 

We may want to circle back to the BLM riots and get some charges and 12 year sentences going that went relatively unpunished.

That would be an appropriate comparison if attacking an LEO is the only thing he was doing.  However, when you pair it with attacking our capital with the intent to do harm to our elected officials to over turn a fair election.....that might require a little longer sentence than someone who is in a protest in another part of our country and attacks an LEO.

 

But....both should be punished heavily.

Your post says he was accused of tasing an officer not insurrection.  Maybe there is more to the charging documents that your post didn’t clarify.

What was he doing when he attacked the LEO?

Was he charged for that?  Was it an “extenuating circumstance” in his charge?

Some light treason.

WashingtonCNN — 

Special counsel Jack Smith has compelled at least two Republican fake electors to testify to a federal grand jury in Washington in recent weeks by giving them limited immunity, part of a current push by federal prosecutors to swiftly nail down evidence in the sprawling criminal investigation into efforts to overturn the 2020 election.

The testimony, described to CNN by people familiar with the situation, comes after a year of relative dormancy around the fake electors portion of the investigation and as a parade of related witnesses are being told to appear before the grand jury with no chance for delay.

That activity could signal that investigators are nearing at least some charging decisions in a part of the 2020 election probe, sources added. It also comes just as the special counsel’s office filed charges against former President Donald Trump for his handling of classified documents.

Prosecutors initially obtained documents and interviews last spring from many of the Republicans who signed false certificates to the federal government, asserting they were the rightful electors for Trump in seven battleground states won by Joe Biden.

Prosecutors have played hardball with some of the witnesses in recent weeks, refusing to grant extensions to grand jury subpoenas for testimony and demanding they comply before the end of this month, sources said. In the situations where prosecutors have given witnesses immunity, the special counsel’s office arrived at the courthouse in Washington ready to compel their testimony after the witnesses indicated they would decline to answer questions under the Fifth Amendment, the sources added.

Locking in witness statements

The compelled testimony has allowed the special counsel’s office to lock in witness statements and potentially information that other investigators who have looked at the aftermath of the 2020 election couldn’t obtain.

At least one other witness has spoken to investigators in the past two weeks outside of the grand jury with an agreement the person would be protected from potential prosecution, another source said.
At least half a dozen witnesses have testified before the federal grand jury in Washington over four days in the past two weeks, with many of the sessions focused on the fake electors’ plot orchestrated by attorneys assisting the Trump campaign in 2020. The numbers, profile of the witnesses and prosecutor tactics suggest a probe picking up its pace, several people familiar with the investigation said.

What are they supposed to do? Look in the mirror and come to the sudden realization that they vote for idiots that are a danger to the country? 

 

No. It's best to move onto the next grift and express some faux outrage at Hunter Biden.
