348 Days Since The Jan 6 Insurrection, 282 days since Merrick Garland took office

With legislative initiatives failing and Sinema's hardline no-change filibuster stance blocking the Voting Rights Act, it is now more important than ever for the American People to know that the organizers of the Jan. 6 Conspiracy against the U.S. are going to be held accountable.

To date, not one organizer of the insurrection has been charged with a crime.

While 726 out of the several thousand insurrectionists have been prosecuted, it won't matter if the American People believe the organizers can get away with it. Already, millions of Trump Supporters are planning another violent insurrection, should Trump not win in 2024.

Justice can never be served if those responsible aren't charged, starting from the very top.

A strong reminder that Mueller had already indicted the following individuals in less time Garland has been in office:
Papadopoulos - 2 counts of false statements - 140 days - Plead guilty, served time, pardoned by Trump
Rick Gates - 2 counts of conspiracy against the US - 164 days - Plead guilty, served time
Paul Manafort - 2 counts of conspiracy against the US - 164 days - Plead guilty; found guilty by trial; serving time
Michael Flynn - 1 count false statements - 198 days - Plead guilty; pardoned by Trump
Richard Pinedo - 1 count identity fraud - 267 days - Plead guilty; served time
Alex van der Zwaan - 1 count: false statements - 276 days - Plead guilty; served time; pardoned by Trump
13 Russians and 2 foreign corporations - multiple counts - 276 days - outside U.S. jurisdiction

1. Those sentences and pardons aren't good enough for me

Only if there is serious prison time with the charges - Posted this in your other thread about Garland


*********
Papadopoulos - 2 counts of false statements - 140 days - Out free
Rick Gates - 2 counts of conspiracy against the US - 164 days - Slap on wrist
Paul Manafort - 2 counts of conspiracy against the US - 164 days - out free
Michael Flynn - 1 count false statements - 198 days - out free and doing the same things
Richard Pinedo - 1 count identity fraud - 267 days - out free

I want people to go to prison for a very long time - not the 'joke' that those folks up above made of our criminal justice system.

And Paul Manafort was pardoned.


I'd rather have charges against Trump in NY - that way no one can ever pardon him. I think AG James has the shit on him - and he's going down.

2. Most of those sentences are light because the individuals cooperated with the investigation

Manafort took the biggest sentence; And just because the target of the investigation pardoned some of these people doesn't mean we shouldn't be pursuing justice.

The point is justice should not be taking this long.
