This is even better news than DinerDave paying off his solar loan!
1) wanting to obstruct the congressional certification of the 2020 presidential election
2) transporting guns into DC
3) carrying a Smith & Wesson handgun onto the restricted grounds of the Capitol
4) interfering with Capitol Police protecting the Upper West Terrace
5) obstructing justice by threatening his son and daughter when he returned to Texas.
All were charged as felonies, so I hope he serves some real time.
Reffitt's wife urges alleged rioters not to take pleas
The CNN link above is good reading.
I hope most if not all of the ~500 insurrectionists aren't offered plea deals.
Already over 220 have pleaded/pled guilty and most to misdemeanors.
If and when the defense counsel ask for a deal, I would hope the reply is 'No, thank you'.
That isn't likely to be the case as trials are expensive, but I just don't want to see several charges dropped to one or two lighter charged as misdemeanors with lighter sentencing.
Basically, I want to see every insurrectionist serve an absolute minimum of a year and a day, no early release to reduce that, if at all possible.
While I'm dreaming, I'd also like to see all of the legislators who conspired to impersonate electoral representatives and subvert the election certification, convicted of felonies.
