| 2022-01-03 |
| [IsraelTimes] While most sentences have so far been relatively lenient, dozens of the most serious cases are still working through the system, including many that have not yet gone to trial. Judges are hearing tearful expressions of remorse — and a litany of excuses — from rioters paying a price for joining the Jan. 6 insurrection, even as others try to play down the deadly attack on a seat of American democracy. The Justice Department’s investigation of the riot has now entered the punishment phase. So far, 71 people have been sentenced for riot-related crimes. They include a company CEO, an architect, a retired Air Force lieutenant colonel, a gym owner, a former Houston police officer and a University of Kentucky student. Many rioters have said they lost jobs and friends after their mob of Donald Trump |

| #14 AUSTIN –Attorney General Ken Paxton filed a Motion for Rehearing with the Court of Criminal Appeals yesterday requesting it reconsider its recent decision to strip the Legislature of its power to assign the Office of the Attorney General (OAG) authority to prosecute criminal election law violations. The Legislature granted OAG that authority approximately 70 years ago, and the Texas Supreme Court has previously and consistently said that this was consistent with the Texas Constitution. The OAG’s ability to prosecute election law violations is a core reason why Texas elections are significantly safer and more secure than other states. |

| #11 A kangaroo court - the judge has already judged the defendants just for being there. The defense often has no representation they actually were able to consult with and have been held for almost a year in solitary without bail. Evidence has been withheld by the FBI. Kimie-boy of North Korea would have been proud. |

| #9 The Biden administration has cornered the market and has stopped sending both Regeneron and Eli Lily monoclonal antibody treatments to republican states, allowing people to die without treatment. State sanctioned genecide in the US is here. |

#6  Welcome to the District of Wakanda police state ? Could there be a more poignant exposure of outcomes ? (Graphic is from the Marikana mine shootings of August 2012. The State will indeed protect it's platinum and phony baloney jobs) "We’re the guys with the guns.” ~ Gen Mark Milley |

| #5 "For the reasons stated in open court, it is adjudged that the Warden of the D.C. jail Wanda Patten and Director of the D.C. Department of Corrections Quincy Booth are in civil contempt of court," U.S. District Judge Royce C. Lamberth of Washington ruled Wednesday. "The Clerk of the Court is ordered to transmit a copy of this order to the Attorney General of the United States for appropriate inquiry into potential civil rights violations of Jan. 6 defendants, as exemplified in this case." |

| #3 Judge Amy Berman Jackson was also appointed by Barack Obama. She also assisted the Mueller in the false Russian interference narrative and sentenced several Trump people over procedural violations. Prior to that numerous decisions she made involving various cases were overturned by appeals courts. She ruled that the Catholic Church had to provide contraceptions that violated their Constitutional right to religious freedom. |

| #2 Chief Judge Beryl Howell was nominated by Brack Obama. She assisted Robert Mueller in supervising the grand jury involved in the false Russian Interference narative of the 2016 election that Trump won. She ruled in favor of a lawsuit filed that demanded the names and addresses of land owners who were allowing the border wall to be built on their land to stem illegal immigration. Ironically she ruled in favor of a defendent who protested at the Supreme Court and struck down the law that prevented protests at the Supreme Court. Her decision was overturned by the court of appeals |

| #1 Not rioters. They were Trump supporters entrapped by Deep State and Dems through an elaborate setup. True criminals do not show the "remorse" these good people are showing. The January 6 "Commission" is a part of the follow-up persecution of those entrapped for daring to set foot inside the corrupt DC Beltway to exercise their Constitutional Rights. They are carrying out a vicious war against good people, taking prisoners, literally proaecuting them for challenging "The Establishment". |
