Boom! #proudboys #jan6th trial. Zachary Rehl, Ethan Nordean, Enrique Tarrio and Joe Biggs are found GUILTY of seditious conspiracy.
This is a HUGE win for the justice department. Tarrio wasn't even at the Capitol.
This is also bad news for trump
The jury has been instructed to resume deliberations on the remaining counts:
- Counts 1 & 2 (Seditious Conspiracy & Conspiracy to Obstruct) for Dominic Pezzola.
- Count 8 (Assaulting, Resisting or Impeding Police) for all defendants
COUNT 2: Conspiracy to Obstruct Official Proceeding
Ethan Nordean: GUILTY
Joseph Biggs: GUILTY
Zachary Rehl: GUILTY
Joseph Biggs: GUILTY
Enrique Tarrio: GUILTY
COUNT 3: Obstruction of an Official Proceeding
Ethan Nordean: GUILTY
Joseph Biggs: GUILTY
Zachary Rehl: GUILTY
Joseph Biggs: GUILTY
Enrique Tarrio: GUILTY
Dominic Pezzola: GUILTY
The jury should be rewarded on its diligence to upholding Democracy. Marathon trial. 4 months. And the fact The jury acquitted a fifth defendant, Dominic Pezzola, of seditious conspiracy but convicted him of obstructing Congress gives legitimacy to them not just being a kangaroo court.
Pezzola's was smart and didn't let his ego incriminate himself which allowed him to avoid the sedition charge
Not going to matter. Still going to prison for a long time
Merrick Garland spiking the football.
14 people found guilty of sedition. All acted at the direction of the losing President
Looking at Sentencing guidelines of offense level (-30-), #proudboy are all looking at a minimum of 10 years in prison more likely getting 15-20, there is also a possible terrorism enhancement.
We will find out more on May 25th when Peacekeeper leader Stewart Rhodes gets sentenced and a possible benchmark (No pun intended) is created.
#jan6th
A person who is charged with Sedition, cannot claim to be a Patriot PERIOD.

FYI this offense level is higher than #OathKeepers Rhodes got.

Justice Dept says "Due to an emergency, the court is not proceeding today with sentencings in the #proudboys cases"
Seems more a technical issue
#proudboys leader Joe Biggs sentenced to 17 years in prison for seditious conspiracy on Jan. 6.
This is the first time a federal judge has applied the full terrorism guideline in a #jan6th case.
#BREAKING Former Philadelphia #proudboys chapter president Zachary Rehl ordered to serve 15 YEARS in prison for conspiring to incite the violence at the U.S. Capitol on #jan6th
Rehl even made a tear filled statement of remores and apology. Didn't do him much good

#proudboys leader Enrique Tarrio admits that Trump lost while giving his statement during sentencing
Anyone want to buy a bridge?
Domenic Pezzola yelled "Trump won" AFTER sentencing
#proudboys Leader Enrique Tarrio sentencing
Judge Kelly: I do think the evidence supports the inference that Mr Tarrio was the ultimate leader, the ultimate person who organized, who was motivated by revolutionary zeal. That conspiracy ended up with about 200 men amped up, surrounding the Capitol, prepared for battle, led by his codefendants
#proudboys Leader Enrique Tarrio sentenced to 22 years in prison
NEW HIGH SCORE!
TARRIO's 22-year sentence is likely to be the longest sentence anyone gets related to the #jan6th attack, a reflection of his singular role in orchestrating a force of men that helped facilitate the breach of the Capitol.
Followed by 3 years probation
don't expect him to be out of prison until after 2040 even with time served and early release program. He would be 56 years old at that time
@Kinnison niiiice😏
@Kinnison 56 is still young enough to try to overthrow the government again
@Kinnison Nobody so skilled at avoiding the truth doesn't know what the truth is. If they didn't know, they'd accidentally step in it from time to time.
#jan6th #proudboys prisoner Tarrio lied on the stand about being sorry.
Now from prison he is saying he is there for "speaking the truth" and is asking for $$
He wouldn't know truth if it crawled up his arse and flowered
