FAFO "Former Proud Boys leader Joe Biggs sobbed as he was sentenced to 17 Years"

Former Proud Boys leader Joe Biggs sobbed as he was sentenced to 17 years in prison over his role in the January 6, 2021, riots at the U.S. Capitol.

Biggs, Ethan Nordean, Zachary Rehl and Enrique Tarrio were all found guilty of seditious conspiracy by a Washington D.C. jury after they broke into the Capitol following the 2020 election.

During his sentencing on Thursday, Biggs' lawyers argued he did not assault anyone as they asked for leniency.

The judge ruled that Biggs was qualified for a terrorism sentencing enhancement because he teared down of a fence that stood between police and rioters.

Three Trump codefendants say they became false electors at Trump's 'direction'

Something about that mandatory 5 years on RICO charges seems to get their attention.



*****************

Shawn Still, Cathleen Latham and David Shafer are Georgia Republicans charged alongside the former president in a racketeering conspiracy to subvert the 2020 election.

Three Georgia Republicans who falsely claimed to be electors for Donald Trump — and are now charged alongside him in a sprawling racketeering indictment brought by local prosecutors — say they took the steps they did because Trump, then the sitting president, told them to.

In a series of court filings this week, those false electors, who became part of Trump’s last-ditch bid to subvert the 2020 election, said it was Trump and his campaign lawyers who urged them to sign the false documents, claiming they were necessary to preserve Trump’s flailing court efforts to reverse his defeat to Joe Biden. That exhortation from Trump’s campaign lawyers, they said, amounted to federal government permission to take the actions they did.

"That exhortation from Trump’s campaign lawyers, they said, amounted to federal government permission to take
the actions they did." So if a lawyer tells you to rob a bank and you did go and try to rob said bank can you just
tell the judge, "Well a lawyer told me to do it so can I go home now?"

Remember Rudy laughing gleefully in 2016 about the FBI's up coming rat fucking of HRC.

Fuck him he needs to die in prison. How many people world wide would not have died from C-19 if
Hillary had not had the Presidency stolen from her? Rudy was well aware of just how dirty Trump was
but that didn't stop him from helping him in 2016 or trying to flip the 2020 election's results.

"Just two days before Congress was notified that the investigation into Clinton's handling of classified information was resuming, Giluiani, then adviser to Donald Trump, suggested that a "surprise or two" was coming in the final days of the campaign. The comments raised questions about whether Giuliani had been tipped to the decision."

Alberta woman organizes rescue mission for horses from Yellowknife

Sienna Kellar

The line of southbound vehicles waiting to fuel up at Fort Providence, N.W.T., on Thursday, less than a day after the city of Yellowknife was ordered to evacuate, was "kilometres long," Sienna Kellar recalled. She was going the other way, though, as part of a small convoy of trucks and horse trailers driving north, straight to the evacuating city. There were some animals to rescue.

snip

"I grew up there, I started riding there when I was seven years old and I mean, those horses I learned to ride on are still the horses that are there," she said.

snip

Kellar started phoning friends and family and anybody else who might have a horse trailer and the inclination to drive 18 hours toward an active wildfire zone. It didn't take long, and by Wednesday evening they were on the road — eight people in four trucks, each vehicle hauling an empty horse trailer.

snip

Then there was Norman — a 28-year-old horse who wasn't able to move very well anymore. Kellar said there was talk of maybe euthanizing him because they didn't think he'd endure the journey south. But it all went "way better than expected," she said, and about 90 minutes later they were back on the road, this time with a full load of animals. Even Norman." So many people were crying that Norman made it out of Yellowknife," Kellar said.
