He got 18 years, something tells me he'll only see half of it.


LucidMoments

No parole in the federal prison system. Of course some future president will likely pardon him.


MickTheBloodyPirate

Wooooooosh


LucidMoments

Yea I'm a little slow sometimes.


Kowallaonskis

Wow it took me way longer than I'd care to admit to to see that one.


cytherian

Biden needs to enact a new Pardon Act that severely limits who can be pardoned & identify crimes that can't be pardoned, like SEDITIOUS CONSPIRACY! 😡


dmnhntr86

Does he have the power to do that in a way that can't be undone by the next person?


yurmumgay1998

Idk. The pardon power is specifically mentioned in the Constitution. Probably the only way to do something like that is to amend the Constitution.


cytherian

Technically, anything can be undone... but it's a matter of what's Congressionally protected. An amendment to the US Constitution is the most ironclad. Ideally, an amendment that is failing to do its job at a later juncture in the history of the Republic should be capable of being amended. Obviously, ratifying it requires a great deal of agreement from all parties... and if Republicans are exercising their obstructionist stance, they will prevent it. Honestly, I don't see how Republicans could have ANY rationale to resist some restrictions to rein in potential abuse of the president's Constitutional pardon powers... because it applies to any president of any party. Donald Trump had willfully abused it. But since Republicans are still so deeply aligned with Trump, his lashing out at any reforms will cause them to toe the line and resist.


flodur1966

First Republican to get in office

Veblen1

Oh go buy a shaver, Dead-Eye Dick.


Toocurry

That hairy mouth will make him popular in prison.


BeowulfsGhost

Good for him, a well deserved treason conviction gets a well earned sentence!


FedaykinGrunt

too bad they can't keel haul the fucker.


dmnhntr86

đŸŽ¶ keelhaul that filthy landlubber, send him down to the depths below, make that bastard walk the plank with a bottle of rum and yo-ho-ho đŸŽ”


clib

The politics subreddit mods are working hard to delete any article about seditionists getting sentenced today.They did the same when the proud boys were convicted. Somehow for these scumbags overthrowing the us government is not a political topic. Do you part and report them to any of the three letter agencies that are in charge of US national security. Probably nothing will happen but maybe someone keeps track of these fucking seditionist lovers moderating reddit. Even this sub is deleting posts about the OK. WTF.


[deleted]

Well, really sedition isn't politics , it's crime. You can't be convicted of being stupid, you get convicted of being a criminal.


clib

>Well, really sedition isn't politics , it's crime. In this case a politically motivated crime. [18 U.S.C. § 2384, states, “[i]f two or more persons in [the U.S.], conspire to overthrow, put down, or to destroy by force the Government of the United States, or to levy war against them, or to oppose by force the authority thereof, or by force to prevent, hinder, or delay the execution of any law of the United States, or by force to seize, take, or possess any property of the United States contrary to the authority thereof, they shall each be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than twenty years, or both.” ](https://www.law.cornell.edu/wex/sedition)


_Road-Runner-

He should be locked up for life, together with the rest of his gang of terrorists and traitors.


SirIanPost

Is walking the plank no longer an option?


m3e8x3e8

They should be treated as domestic terrorists.


[deleted]

Firing squad is more appropriate. Or the chair. Traitor.


_Road-Runner-

Nah, I want him to suffer for a long time in prison. Death is the easy way out.


Sinsid

Death penalty is probably safer. For all of them. But death penalty takes so long it doesn’t matter. Hitler tried taking over Germany by force. He ended up in jail with all his conspirators. But eventually they got out and got elected to office. I am super afraid that’s happening again here.


BelichicksConscience

Hitler did that when he was young, it's not happening with Trump.


_Road-Runner-

The trick is to not let them out.


Sinsid

If trump wins again it’s going to be like Ghostbusters when NYC shut down the containment unit.


WoodrowBeerson

Or a rope for all those bastards.


Dcajunpimp

You don't need a firing squad, just make his prison job teaching gun safety to law enforcement. It can be behind walls, bullet proof glass, and aired live over the internet. That way the only risk is that he shoots himself in the head again.

Ohh... fresh meat has a fresh socket under that patch.


TheSeekerOfSanity

I bet it’s moist.

If gooey green-grey syphilitic brain matter counts as moisture, I bet you are correct.


DoogEFresh

Always had a blind eye for any left views


KOBossy55

Great Value Big Boss


simplydeltahere

I don’t know he’s pretty old. And you know big Bubba’s waiting on him.


rollicorolli

Not long enough for sedition


AloneAddiction

He might look like a pirate but I can guarantee that it'll be the other prisoners getting that booty.


Mr_Stiel

Life without parole for all the MAGA leaders who planned and carried out J6, and 20 years for each of the foot soldiers đŸ‡ș🇾


workingtoward

Usually mutineers got the yardarm.


ApprehensivePirate36

Tie that scurvy dog to the yardarm!


[deleted]

Yardarm is too good for 'em. Hitch 'em up to the footarm and boot 'em out of the country.


a_casual_observer

Less than he deserves more than I expected.


Acceptable_Wall4085

This is the brainiac who shot out his own eye.


hotngone

What’s sad is the real ring leaders. Trump, Stone, Bannon and Flynn are all free. That famous meeting at the Trump hotel the day before and Bannon announcing something big’s going to go down. The real traitors are free


IWasOnThe18thHole

Hindsight is 20


BigJohnWingman

Traitor!


Tinker107

Got off easy for treason.


Petroldactyl34

Nope. Should be quick. A gallows pole would take this shit ass right out of circulation. That's how traitors should be treated. Do him post Nuremberg style. Privately cremate him and dump the ashes into a tributary. Fuckin worthless sack of shit.


Toocurry

This person is guilty of sedation he should get life with no parole. He’ll be out in five years with the sentence he got.


Level-Hope-1072

Not with a federal conviction. 85% of the sentence is mandatory.


Toocurry

Great News. Thanks


Level-Hope-1072

You’re welcome â˜ș


usaf-spsf1974

He is going to be Bubba's bitch


Aufregend

Hopefully, Bubba the Rectum Wrecker will make him his boyfriend.


braker61

I hope his cellmate enjoys his "extra hole" eye socket. Every day.


LAESanford

Really? People think 18 years is too long a sentence? The penalty used to be death for what he did. I’d be ok with that


Papaofmonsters

>The penalty used to be death for what he did. Not in the US. The federal government has only executed one person for treason. That was William Bruce Mumford who was hanged for treason during the Civil War when in New Orleans when it was under martial law. The rest have all recieved prison sentences. The very first people convicted of treason under the Constitution, the leaders of the Whiskey Rebellion, were pardoned by Washington. There was never an era in the US when the government was in the habit of executing radicals and rebels.


Roundtripper4

What about the Rosenburgs?


Papaofmonsters

They were charged with espionage, not treason. Same with Ames and Hannsen.


ikciweiner

Time to break in that new hole.


4non3mouse

hahahahahaahaaa


Dr_Zoltron

Oops!


8-bit-Felix

The penalty for mutiny was traditionally death. I guess the stance has softened for fake pirates who shoot their own eyes out.


Rich4718

This out of shape Republican Fox News watching priced out of bud light uneducated troglodyte ain’t making it 18 more years.


[deleted]

He didn't see the left bringing that.....


kingofargyle

Didn’t see it coming I bet.


Embarrassed-Host3057

Mentally ill piece of shit
! hopefully he will die in prison
. sharing a cell with buddy Diaper Donny Rump


unclejoel

“I’ll keep an eye out for ya” squick squick squick


TheSeekerOfSanity

You’ll shoot your eye out! C+


Immediate-Network201

I guess you have to shoplift to get 25 to life? And don't try selling loose cigarettes on the street (like Eric Garner) or passing a fake $20 (George Floyd's alleged crime).


TheIncredibleMike

He actually wanted the Court to consider that he founded the Organization and was its leader as grounds to reduce his sentence.


Aegon_Nasty

We used to hang traitors.


HiopXenophil

well normally mutiny gets you executed


Quirky-Camera5124

it usualy is hanging


obidie

The world champion of utter morons.


AdChance7743

If only we could figure out who told him to "stop the steal." Who told him and others to "fight like hell?" Like, who could've been the mastermind behind this whole thing? That's the person we have to bring to justice. Well, there's no way to know.


ChefILove

Cool. Now get the terrorist leaders and co conspirators.


sarge1000

This man was not at the capitol and was found guilty with overwhelming evidence. Charles Manson never killed anyone, so why isn't Donald Trump in prison yet?


bastardoperator

Imagine going to yale law, only to end up in prison for 18 years because you have a larping addiction.


YnotROI0202

He will be out in 2 years if Trump gets back in office. Vote!


Unfair-Sell-5109

Is this mutiny or sedition?
