Critics and supporters of Donald Trump said the government’s successful prosecution of four “Proud Boys” J6 protesters on “seditious conspiracy” charges in a Washington, D.C. court could pave the way for him being criminally prosecuted in the same, Democrat-friendly court system.
After seven days of deliberation, a D.C. jury containing members with openly leftist sympathies Thursday found ex-Proud Boys chairman Enrique Tarrio and three other other members of the anti-left group guilty of “seditious conspiracy” and other related charges for their actions in the “Stop the Steal” melee on Jan. 6, 2021 at the nation’s Capitol.
“The legal maximum penalty for either seditious conspiracy or obstruction charges is 20 years in prison,” the Washington Post reported. Further details of the ruling can be found at UnCoverDC.com, which called the verdict a “highly politicized miscarriage of justice.”
Julie Kelly, the leading conservative pundit chronicling what she calls the Biden administration’s “abusive” J6 prosecutions and extremely harsh treatment of J6 prisoners, tweeted Thursday: “A rogue judge, dirty prosecutors, and biased DC jury just handed Merrick Garland’s handpicked special prosecutor the biggest gift of his career: a roadmap to indict Trump on seditious conspiracy and other crimes.”
