"33 Years, Stiffest Jan. 6 Sentence So Far, Sought for Proud Boys Leaders​

Federal prosecutors recommended the sentence for the group’s former chairman and a top lieutenant, while also asking for long prison terms for the other three defendants in the case.

Aug. 17, 2023
Federal prosecutors recommended on Thursday that two top leaders of the far-right Proud Boys convicted of seditious conspiracy in the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol be sentenced to 33 years in prison, the stiffest penalties requested so far out of more than 1,000 people charged in the sprawling investigation.
In seeking to severely punish the two Proud Boys, Enrique Tarrio, the former chairman of the group, and Joseph Biggs, one of Mr. Tarrio’s top lieutenants, prosecutors asked the judge in the case to increase their sentences with what is known as a terrorism enhancement.
“The defendants understood the stakes, and they embraced their role in bringing about a ‘revolution,’” the prosecutors wrote in a 155-page filing to Judge Timothy J. Kelly of the U.S. District Court in Washington. “They unleashed a force on the Capitol that was calculated to exert their political will on elected officials by force and to undo the results of a democratic election.”
“The foot soldiers of the right aimed to keep their leader in power,” the prosecutors continued, referring to former President Donald J. Trump. “They failed. They are not heroes; they are criminals.”

In their request to Judge Kelly, the prosecutors also asked for tough sentences for the other three defendants in the case: Zachary Rehl, Ethan Nordean and Dominic Pezzola.

Prosecutors asked that Mr. Rehl, the former president of the Proud Boys chapter in Philadelphia, be sentenced to 30 years in prison; that Mr. Nordean, who ran a Proud Boys chapter in Seattle, serve 27 years; and that Mr. Pezzola, a new recruit to the group from Rochester, N.Y., face 20 years behind bars.
All of the men, except for Mr. Pezzola, were found guilty in May of seditious conspiracy........to prove sedition, prosecutors have to persuade a jury that defendants used force to oppose the authority of the federal government or the execution of federal law."

Isn't this the man Trump told to stand down and stand by?

If convicted in J6 or GA, Trump should get thirty or more years.

If convicted in NYC or the documents case, he should serve no jail time.

I like what happens when Trumpers are forced to confront reality.

"Isn't this the man Trump told to stand down and stand by?"

Yupper, it is. Him and his romper-room teammates, the Proud Boys.
If the prosecutors prevail, and the judge agrees......well, 33yr is a long 'stand by'.
At least it is given my age.
I think.

More realistically, this may be a 'ask high.... settle for less' dance?
33yrs.....too long?
OK.
Then let's compromise at 25yrs.
Maybe the judge thinks that is more acceptable.
Personally, as just a patriotic observer and fan of America.......I'd be satisfied with 25yrs, no parole. Even 20yrs.

THAT would send a signal to other jackasses of the MAGA/J6 flavor....... that is, trying to stop a Constitutionally mandated act of high American governance, ain't a prudent thing to do.
Meaning, F-around.......and find out.

IMHO

What do Federal Sentencing Guidelines say? ... prosecutors aren't required to follow these laws, but the judge is ... so they ask for 33 years in the hopes of getting 3.3 years ...
