WASHINGTON – Paul Hodgkins, a 38-year-old Tampa, Florida, man, dodged the violence that surrounded him during the Jan. 6 Capitol riot before spending 15 minutes in the Senate chamber, meandering the room with a Trump flag and snapping selfies.

Now, Hodgkins could land in prison for more than a year, after becoming one of the first four defendants to plead guilty to felonies in the attack. Sentencing guidelines in three other felony agreements call for terms of at least three to five years. Another eight people have pleaded guilty to misdemeanors that could lock them up for six months.

Prosecutions of the hundreds charged in the riot are just getting started, offering Americans an initial look at just how severe the punishments will be for those who stormed the Capitol more than six months ago. The first dozen plea bargains reveal defendants could spend years behind bars for ransacking the historic building – and legal experts say harsher penalties loom for those who assaulted police and destroyed property.

1. And what about the person who invited them to D.C. to break the law?

Donald Trump:

Gave out the day, the date, the time, and the place >10 different invitations

Decapitated the D.C. National Guard prior to 1/6/21

Helped to pay for this "stop the steal rally" with campaign funds

Had the niece of his chief of staff fill out the permits for the rally

had a pre riot/violent coup pep talk to his pro trump thugs

refused to call off his thugs despite calls from Mike Pence and Rep McCarthy asking him to do just that

told the Sec. of State of Georgia he needed some help w/"the votes" in Georgia because big things are gonna
happen on 1/6/21

and after all the bloodshed, death, violence, law breaking, and destruction he told his thugs that "he loved 'em
and was proud of them."

5. I would just love to see the look on Donny's face when a jury finds him guilty of treason, murder,

... and God only knows what else too. The mother fucker was installed by Russia* and tried to have
a violent coup in order to stay in power so as to avoid being held accountable for all his crimes.

* Every time he said "fake news" about Trump and Russia he was lying. The "stuff" Manafort gave
the Russian agent Kilimnik was not just polling data but data analytics or what could be turned
into data analytics aka weaponized data .... Russia knew where and by how much to rat fuck our
elections in 2016.

... and then tried to violently overthrow our democracy which resulted in 5 deaths and > 100 police
being injured. Oh and his family grifted the hell out of America too. Jared and Ivanka walked with 460
million $s for doing what?

edit ... I took out a picture of a chair for a firing squad.

2. I'll believe it when I see it. So far, they're getting sent on vacations in foreign countries.

Or just hangin' out at home, chillin' out.
