"As Badalian removed his suit jacket, his tie, his belt and his shoelaces under the close watch of two marshals, he proclaimed that "this is what you get for defending the Capitol building" and questioned the loyalty of one of the law enforcement officers taking him into custody. "How do you feel about this?" he asked. "You feel like this is right?"  Just before he was handcuffed and led out of the courtroom, Badalian told the marshal that he had the duty to resist unconstitutional orders."

FUCK that enrages me.  Four years, and this lunacy will be out again.

Correct. He needs to be hanged. That’s what you do with traitors who wage war against our country. It’s what every other sane country would do.

Feds seek 8 years for 'Bullhorn Lady' who smashed a Capitol window during Jan. 6 attack

WASHINGTON — Federal prosecutors are seeking eight years in federal prison for a Pennsylvania mother of eight who conducted "surveillance" on a lawmaker's home a few weeks before she smashed a window with an ice ax and a giant cardboard tube during the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol.

Rachel Powell, who was 40 when she took part in the 2021 attack, was found guilty in July of nine charges, including felony counts of interfering with officers performing their duties and obstruction of an official proceeding. A sentencing hearing for Powell, now a grandmother of six, is set for Oct. 17.

Powell was identified by online “Sedition Hunters,” was named and interviewed for a piece in The New Yorker that ran a few weeks after Jan. 6, and was arrested in early February 2021. She has been on home confinement since September 2022 after violating her prior conditions of pretrial release, including by visiting a brewery with her 71-year-old employer/boyfriend.

After Donald Trump lost the 2020 election, prosecutors said, Powell developed an "obsession with keeping former President Trump in power," and talked about how she had "conducted surveillance at a female legislator’s home." Powell joined "caravan" protests in Washington in November 2020, where she said she walked around "with a little beater bar all weekend and wasp spray and knives in my bag."

On Jan. 6, before she smashed the Capitol window, prosecutors said, Powell was on the front lines as the mob overwhelmed police.

“Come on up, people, don’t be shy!” she yelled in one video, as she pushed against police barricades with her body. Powell, prosecutors wrote in a sentencing memo, had shown an "utter lack of remorse" for her conduct, which she bragged about online.

“IT WAS F--KING WAR TO GET IN. IF YOU WERE NOT HERE THEN STFU," Powell wrote the day after the attack. She said rioters "weren't f--king welcomed in" and that there was “lots of security" that "had to retreat into the building and fight back because patriots were relentless.”

Police, she said, "didn’t open the gates. The people trampled them. It was war.”

Since the Capitol attack, Powell has changed her tune, prosecutors noted, writing that she "has tried to portray herself as a victim and tried to shift the narrative from 'war' to 'police brutality.'"

But video of her actions Jan. 6, prosecutors said, left little doubt about her intentions, even if Powell now claimed — as she did in one recent interview — that she only broke the window "so that people had somewhere to go.”

A key video that went viral after the attack showed Powell using a bullhorn to organize rioters to "take the building," advising them on the layout of the suite of offices they'd entered as others plotted how to advance further into the Capitol.

"People should probably coordinate together if you're going to take the building," Powell declared, in the tone of a flustered school trip chaperone trying to corral a group of teens. Powell, her attorney claimed in a defense sentencing memo, is "remorseful for her outrageous conduct that day." Powell was "susceptible to manipulation," Nicholas D. Smith wrote, because of a brutally harsh upbringing that "was like something from Oliver Twist." Her impoverished parents "routinely engaged in violent altercations in front of the small child," Powell's mom was an alcoholic and drug addict and Powell was sexually abused beginning at age 12, he wrote. Powell has been diagnosed with "posttraumatic stress disorder; paranoid, schizoid and negativistic personality traits; and major depressive disorder," he added.

Just before the verdict was returned in her case, Powell's partner/employer Joseph Jenkins, Jr., brought three of her children to a fundraiser for Jan. 6 defendants at Trump’s property in New Jersey, where the former president posed for photos, signed a copy of his book and gave one of her children a “Make America Great Again” hat, which he wore to court for his mother’s verdict.

“Trump said he’ll be pardoning as soon as he’s in,” Powell wrote in a post on X.

Jenkins, in a letter of support, maintained his belief that the 2020 election was stolen, pointing the judge to the conspiracy film "2000 Mules."

"According to most Trump voters, the election results in Pennsylvania, where Rachel lives, appeared to be fraudulent. Trump had, and still has, huge support in our state," he wrote. "Books have been written, documentaries aired, lawsuits filed, and investigations remain pending."

Several of Powell's supporters also downplayed her conduct in letters to the court.

"If there were ever a person I know who would be brave enough to help bring order during chaos," one supporter wrote, "it would be Rachel."

Jan. 6 rioter who smashed Capitol window with tomahawk ax sentenced to 7 years

Ryan J. Reilly
Sat, October 7, 2023 at 6:43 PM EDT·3 min read

WASHINGTON — A Donald Trump supporter who smashed a window at the Capitol with a tomahawk ax and threw projectiles at officers during the most brutal battle of the Capitol riot was sentenced to seven years in federal prison Friday.

Shane Jenkins — who refers to himself as "Skullet" because of his shaved head and mullet — was found guilty of nine criminal counts in March, including felony civil disorder; obstruction of an official proceeding; assaulting, resisting or impeding an officer using a dangerous weapon; and destruction of government property.

The federal government had requested more than 19 years in federal prison, which would have been one of the longest sentences given in any Jan. 6 case. The longest sentence so far has gone to Enrique Tarrio, the former head of the Proud Boys, who was sentenced to 22 years in federal prison last month after he was convicted of seditious conspiracy in May.

Jenkins' attorney called the riot on Jan. 6, 2021, "one of the saddest episodes in American history" and said there "remain many grifters out there who remain free to continue propagating the 'great lie' that Trump won the election, Donald Trump being among the most prominent."

The government called Jenkins' conduct "egregious" and said he "planned for violent insurrection long before his arrival" in Washington.

His "lack of remorse is extraordinary," and he "thinks that political violence is acceptable," Assistant U.S. Attorney David Perri argued at the sentencing hearing Friday.

"What happens if his preferred candidate gets convicted of something?" Perri asked, referring to the four criminal cases against former President Donald Trump, including one unfolding in the federal courthouse in Washington where Jenkins was sentenced. "How would he react?"

Perri encouraged the judge not to "roll the dice with this country's democratic future."

Attorney Dennis Boyle said at the hearing that Trump promoted "a legal fiction" that Vice President Mike Pence could overturn the election results and that people like Jenkins were "particularly susceptible" to his lies and propaganda.

Before his sentencing, Jenkins talked about his troubled childhood and said his life began to come apart when he learned he was adopted. He said he tried to destroy himself with drugs and alcohol after he killed his stepfather in a gunfight when he was 20 years old. (Jenkins said he shot his stepfather in self-defense, and he was not charged.)

The Justice Department also said Jenkins took part in a jail attack on Jan. 6 defendant Taylor Taranto — who was arrested outside former President Barack Obama's home — on July 10, when a dozen inmates allegedly entered the television room of their pod and assaulted Taranto "because Taranto had been saying derogatory things about Ashli Babitt and her mother." Babbitt, whose last name the Justice Department misspelled in its filing, was shot and killed by a police officer at the Capitol riot.

Taranto was ordered held in pretrial detention.

In the 33 months since the Capitol attack, more than 1,100 participants have been arrested, and about 660 have been sentenced, including nearly 400 who have received sentences of incarceration.

Very late reply but I had wondered what happened to this guy. He owns a winery between Waco and Temple with his wife. Flies up to DC late, misses Trumps rally but joins in on the crowd breaking into the Capitol He was alongside Ashli Babbitt when they both were trying to break into protected areas  and she was shot. He was also accused of leading people to the House chamber, trying to turn off power via an electrical box and using a police shield as a weapon against law enforcement. 

Guy went from his Southwest flight directly into leading misguided violence. I understand mob actions can encourage unexpected behavior but this guy was primed to attack.

now he has 7 years in a Bastrop federal prison to contemplate his mistakes. One mistake being that he trusted his lawyer and didn’t take a plea on all charges. And then testifying? I imaging that his lack of remorse during his testimony added time to the sentence.

Kissing Tree Winery.  Now that's officially off to rot in prison, I can't help but wonder what's going to happen to it.  Only so many freedom loving patriots can patronize it to keep it afloat.  Sooner or later, somebody's gonna come looking into their books to see if his legal defense funds got co-mingled with his winery to help it stay afloat during some turbulent times.  Lotta people looking into these trump-universe legal defense funds being used for illicit purposes.  Fantastic people.  Don't know who would also get TABC involved on top of the IRS/Treasury.

Has the dumbass wearing his work shirt with phone number while couping on 1/6 been sentenced yet?

What you need to understand is that these people advertised their identify BECAUSE THEY THOUGHT THEY WERE GOING TO SUCCESSFULLY OVERTHROW THE GOVERNMENT AND INSTALL THEIR PREFERRED AUTHORITARIAN STATE.  The very fact that they didn't conceal their identity, but rather flaunted it, is evidence of their state of mind and intent: they thought they were participating in a SUCCESSFUL coup, and they wanted credit as heroes.

It failed.  Which means that their efforts to memorialize themselves as heroes of the new United States of Trumpistan turned into damning criminal evidence for the still-alive United States of America.

Grider is also appealing the case and is asking the court to appoint a new attorney for him, saying he is now indigent.”

After January 6, and after people started being arrested, I noticed the Proud Boys and others started masking up like they were a virologist visiting a Chinese wet market.

Not in prison yet.  Damn shame for his kids, but he needs to go to jail and his kids to relatives or state custody while he thinks about shit for a few years.  

Fucker was next to Babbitt trying to breach the last doors before attacking Pence and company. Sorry his wife is ill, but he’s lucky he wasn’t shot or hung.
