Federal judge accuses prosecutors of offering lenient plea deals to Capitol riot defendants who committed the 'crime of the century'
"A federal judge criticized the Justice Department this week for taking a "muddled approach" toward prosecuting those accused of participating in the deadly January 6 insurrection, Politico reported. Chief Judge Beryl Howell of the federal district court for the District of Columbia also criticized prosecutors for offering "petty offense" plea deals to defendants who she said carried out the "crime of the century."
Howell's comments came during the sentencing hearing for Jack Griffith, a Tennessee resident who pleaded guilty in July to one misdemeanor count of parading, demonstrating, or picketing inside the Capitol. As part of the plea deal, the government dismissed four other misdemeanor counts against Griffith.
"I'm trying to make sense of the government's position here," Howell said Thursday. She also contrasted the "very strong language" prosecutors used to describe the conduct Capitol defendants engaged in with the relatively lenient plea deals some were offered.
The dichotomy made prosecutors look "almost schizophrenic" in their approach, Howell said, according to Politico and Law & Crime. "No wonder" there's been public confusion about the gravity of the events of January 6, she added.
"The rioters attacking the Capitol on January 6 were not mere trespassers engaging in protected First Amendment conduct or protests," Howell said at the hearing. "They were not merely disorderly, as countless videos show the mob that attacked the Capitol was violent. Everyone participating in the mob contributed to that violence."
"After all that scorching rhetoric ... the government goes on to describe the rioters who got through the police lines and got into the building as 'those who trespassed,'" Howell said. "This was no mere trespass."
Those who stormed the Capitol "are not trespassers, they are criminals," she added. She later said that "the damage to the reputation of our democracy, which is usually held up around the world ... that reputation suffered because of January 6." "

The Fire Department is not happy with HIM:
""We hold the men and women in this department to the highest standards," Chief Radzak said in the release. "It saddens me that the actions of one individual have tarnished the hard work and dedication that the rest of the department puts forth on a daily basis.""

There was no insurrection.
last I heard there were over 14000 charged in blm riots , of course they were setting fires killing people looting etc typical for liberals
There was no post there. Just another empty page.
It was no insurrection. It was nothing more than an unarmed and unorganized mob storming the capitol. After they were there, it dissipated pretty quickly. Everything that was planned went on as planned.
How many convictions?
