January 6...a day that will live in infamy

Ex-Proud Boys leader Enrique Tarrio jailed for 22 years for Capitol riot BBC

...
As Trump supporters laid siege to the congressional complex, Tarrio posted online that he was "enjoying the show".
"Do what must be done," he wrote, urging on the rioters.
...
Before he learned his fate on Tuesday, an emotional Tarrio apologised to police and residents of Washington DC for his role in the riot. "I am extremely ashamed and disappointed that they were caused grief and suffering," he said. "I will have to live with that shame for the rest of my life."
Tarrio, who wore an orange jail uniform, added: "I was my own worst enemy. My hubris convinced me that I was a victim and targeted unfairly."
Acknowledging that Mr Trump had lost the November 2020 presidential election, Tarrio said: "I am not a political zealot. I didn't think it was even possible to change the results of the election.
"Please show me mercy," Tarrio asked the judge. "I ask you that you not take my 40s from me."
...
Until now, the longest sentences were the 18-year terms handed down last week to another Proud Boy, Ethan Nordean, and in May to Stewart Rhodes, founder of the Oath Keepers, a far-right militia.
Three other Proud Boys received prison sentences last week for their roles in the riot.
Former US Marines Dominic Pezzola and Zachary Rehl received 10 and 15 years respectively.
Joe Biggs, a US Army veteran, got 17 years.
The charges against the rioters have varied - from relatively minor crimes like entering a restricted area, to destruction of government property, assault and conspiracy. Around 200 have pleaded guilty to felony charges.
The investigation is ongoing and the FBI is still trying to locate 14 rioters captured on video assaulting police officers or members of the media.

There's been more than one of these idiots cry crocodile tears in court and immediately yell "Trump won!" after getting lighter sentences. Don't go easy on any of them. None of them are decent enough people to have learned any sort of lesson.

Sidney Powell pleads guilty in Georgia election subversion case​

Alex Woodward
Thu, October 19, 2023 at 10:23 AM CDT·3 min read



Sidney Powell, charged in connection with a sweeping criminal case tied to Donald Trump’s attempts to subvert the results of the 2020 election in Georgia, has pleaded guilty under an arrangement with prosecutors ahead of a closely watched trial set to begin in coming days.
Ms Powell – among Trump-linked attorneys who launched a spurious, failed legal campaign to overturn election results – was accused of playing a central role in an effort to seize voting machines in the volatile aftermath of the 2020 presidential election in January 2021.
A trial for Ms Powell and Kenneth Chesebro was set to begin on 20 October.
Ms Powell instead has pleaded guilty to six misdemeanor counts of conspiracy to interfere with elections during a surprise hearing with her attorney and prosecutors in front of Fulton County Superior Court Judge Scott McAfee in an Atlanta courtroom on 19 October.
She faces a sentence of six years of probation and must cooperate in other cases, according to prosecutors and a sentencing sheet. She also faces a $6,000 fine and $2,700 in restitution to the state of Georgia, and she must write an apology letter to Georgia voters and testify “truthfully against any and all co-defendants in this matter,” according to the judge.
Ms Powell is “expected to provide cooperative testimony for prosecutors in the trials of the remaining defendants,” according to the judge.
She is the second person among the 19 defendants in Georgia’s sprawling election interference case to plead guilty.
Like Ms Powell, Scott Hall was among a group of Trump loyalists charged with breaching voting machines in the state. He agreed to a plea deal on 29 September that includes a sentence of five years of probation, a $5,000 fine and 200 hours of community service.
Mr Hall was initially charged under Georgia’s anti-racketeering statute and faced two counts of conspiracy to commit election fraud, conspiracy to commit computer theft, conspiracy to commit computer trespass, conspiracy to commit computer invasion of privacy and conspiracy to defraud the state.
His plea arrangement before Judge McAfee last month included guilty pleas for five misdemeanor counts of “conspiracy to commit intentional interference with performance of election duties,” the same charges now facing Ms Powell.


In the days leading up to Thursday’s surprise courtroom appearance, attorneys for Ms Powell and Mr Chesebro – both of whom initially pleaded not guilty – had insisted their clients were clear of any wrongdoing and had rejected a lengthy indictment arguing that Ms Powell never had permission to access voting machines in Coffee County.
One day earlier, Judge McAfee rejected filings in which they sought to dismiss the criminal charges against them under First Amendment grounds and the Supremacy Clause.
On Thursday morning, Ms Powell agreed that the state had proof to convict her.
“Are you pleading guilty today because you agree that there is a sufficient factual basis, that there are enough facts that support this plea of guilty?” the judge asked Ms Powell, who was seated next to her attorney in the courtroom.
“I do,” she said.
Ms Powell – whose false claims about voting machines on Fox News were central to Dominion Voting Systems’ defamation lawsuit against the network – rose to prominence among a field of Trump-linked attorneys including Rudy Giuliani and Jenna Ellis as they launched a failed legal effort to challenge election results in state’s that the former president lost.
Those attorneys now are co-defendants in the Georgia racketeering case.
It remains unclear what will happen with the case of Mr Chesebro, an architect of the so-called “alternate” elector plot to replace slates of electors with Trump loyalists to be certified in Congress.

Not to excuse the alleged deplorable conditions of his confinement (see what I did there) but the article and headline start off with trying to make the reader side with the prisoner bc he’s being held for 1000 days without a trial.

I wonder if this has anything to do w his petition to the Supreme Court that one of his charges isn’t valid? Kinda like it’s his own choosing. But the “always unbiased” Epoch Times would never resort to intellectual dishonesty in its “reporting.”

Epoch Times is on par w Alex Jones.

Yeah, the guy sounds like he's his own worst enemy but if even half of his statements are true it ain't right.

The ABC is right: Falun Gong has some dangerous teachings - ABC Religion & Ethics

The ABC’s recent coverage of Falun Gong has been important to the growing ex-Falun Gong community, of which I’m proud to be part. The ABC is telling an important story that has been neglected or overlooked for too long; its television reports, podcasts, and online articles were well-researched...
