The Judge's summation is much longer. If you want to see all of it you can click into a Twitter link.

I know that these are proper procedures and the sentencing has been adequate.
But the people really responsible are not even being tried.

It's like prosecuting a crime family. You know who is at the top but you can't touch them right away so you take out the underlings one by one until the head of the organization is left standing almost alone.

That's how I think of it.

November 14th. Congress and the Senate will be in the hands of the GOP. Tiny will be :rofl: about that subpoena.
This is typical of so many organizations. They want to do everything so perfectly, they end up doing nothing.

Ohio Man Who Blamed Trump for Storming of Capitol Gets 3 Years in Prison
Dustin Byron Thompson, 38, an unemployed exterminator from Columbus, based his defense on the argument that he had been following orders from the president on Jan. 6, 2021.

An Ohio man who said that Donald J. Trump was responsible for his decision to storm the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, and steal a bottle of bourbon and a coat rack was sentenced on Friday to three years in prison, the authorities said.

In sentencing the man, Dustin Byron Thompson, 38, Judge Reggie Walton of U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia told Mr. Thompson, who apologized and said that he was ashamed of his actions, that he could not understand how someone with a college degree could “go down the rabbit hole” and believe so strongly in a lie, according to The Associated Press. Judge Walton had previously said that he found Mr. Thompson’s explanation that Mr. Trump was responsible for Mr. Thompson’s behavior “disingenuous.”

Mr. Thompson was convicted by a jury in April of a felony charge of obstructing an official proceeding and five misdemeanors, including theft of government property.

Judge Hogan is going to vary downward. He's also going to allow him to report after the 1st of the year. The sentence is 36 months of incarceration followed by 36 months of supervised release.
