TARRIO: GUILTY OF SEDITIOUS CONSPIRACY

1. Thank God/Goddess/Dog... For them to not convict on sedition charges would reverberate

and damage any sense of our constitution indefinitely into the future.

2. That sounds like really good news. Nt

3. I wonder how Tarrio's Proud Boy Bad Ass Act will go in a Federal Lock Up?

FYI 20 years in prison
Seditious conspiracy, conspiracy to obstruct Congress, obstruction of Congress, and destruction of evidence all carry a statutory maximum sentence of 20 years in prison. All charges carry potential financial penalties.

Now who has been funding these shits? Crow, Jenni Thomas, right wing think tanks, Roger Stone, and on and on.
I betya some of the convicted Proud Boys are going to get real chatty.

Now who directed these people in their seditious conspiracy?

6. They are turning on Trump

Defense attorneys for Tarrio fought back by blaming the former president, saying prosecutors made the five defendants scapegoats for an unplanned riot triggered by Trump’s incitement of angry supporters.

7. Let's hope the judge doesn't go easy on them

He's a TFG appointee.
