Well, it seems than one of the Oathkeepers who helped with the J6 riot has been sentenced to 8 1/2 years. Interestingly enough, she could have gotten more but the judge decided to be a bit lenient on her.
Know why the sentence wasn't harsher? Because she was transgender.

A member of the far-right Oath Keepers on Friday was sentenced to eight and a half years in prison for her role in the deadly 6 January 2021 assault on the US Capitol by extremist supporters of Donald Trump who tried to overturn Joe Biden’s presidential election victory over the Republican.
Jessica Watkins was convicted in November by a federal jury in Washington of obstruction of an official proceeding for her role in the storming of the Capitol, which saw rioters battle police, smash windows and send lawmakers running for their lives.
Watkins was also convicted of conspiracy and obstruction of officers during the riots.
The US district judge Amit Mehta on Friday said it was “particularly hard” to issue a sentence for Watkins after she testified during trial about the struggles she faced with her transgender identity and her cooperation with law enforcement officials during their investigation of her conduct on January 6.
But he said that “doesn’t wipe out” what she did during the attack. “Your role that day was more aggressive, more assaultive, more purposeful than perhaps others,” Mehta said.
Oh yeah....................not only was she transgender, but she was also AWOL from the Army.
