Stewart Rhodes, the founder and
leader of the Oath Keepers, was sentenced to 18 years in prison on
Thursday for leading a far-reaching plot to keep then-President
Donald Trump in power after he lost the 2020 election.
[email protected]">A second Oath Keepers member, Kelly Meggs, the leader of the Florida contingent of the group, was sentenced to 12 years in prison.
[email protected]">The sentences are the first handed down in over a decade for seditious conspiracy.
[email protected]">“What we absolutely cannot have is a group of citizens who – because they did not like the outcome of an election, who did not believe the law was followed as it should be – foment revolution,” District Judge Amit Mehta said before handing down the sentence. “That is what you did.”
[email protected]">“I dare say, Mr. Rhodes – and I never have said this to anyone I have sentenced – you pose an ongoing threat and peril to our democracy and the fabric of this country,” Mehta said.
[email protected]">The judge added: “I dare say we all now hold our collective breaths when an election is approaching. Will we have another January 6 again? That remains to be seen.”
[email protected]">Mehta said Rhodes, 58, has expressed no remorse and continues to be a threat.
[email protected]">“A seditious conspiracy, when you take those two concepts and put it together, is among the most serious crimes an American can commit,” the judge said. “It is an offense against the government to use force. It is an offense against the people of our country.”
[email protected]">Earlier on Thursday, Mehta ruled that Rhodes’ actions amounted to domestic terrorism.

Американский Навальный. Выступал против коррупции олигархата, вывел
народ против фальсификации выборов (как Навальный в 2012), в
результате чего были столкновения с полицией и захват зданий.
Получил 18 лет, виновным себя не признает. Сидит по статье "заговор
с целью захвата власти". И судья какой: "It is an offense
against the government to use force (это преступление использовать
силу против правителства)". Ага, выходит Майдан был противозаконным
и майданящим нужно было по 18 лет лепить? Вот оно как! А там даже
выборы не оспаривали - свергали правительство, которое было избрано
(и всем миром выборы признаны законными).
Но и это не всё.
A pro-Trump social media
influencer with thousands of followers on Twitter was convicted
of election inference during the 2016 election.
"Mackey has been found guilty by a jury of his peers of attempting
to deprive individuals from exercising their sacred right to vote
for the candidate of their choice in the 2016 Presidential
Election," United States Attorney for the Eastern District of
New York Breon Peace said in a Department of Justice press
release.
"Today’s verdict proves that the defendant’s fraudulent actions
crossed a line into criminality and flatly rejects his cynical
attempt to use the constitutional right of free speech as a shield
for his scheme to subvert the ballot box and suppress the vote,"
Peace continued.
Douglass Mackey, who went by the name of "Ricky Vaughn"
online, was accused of purposely spreading disinformation online in
an effort to suppress votes for Hillary Clinton back in the 2016
election.
The press release details that between September 2016 and November
2016, Mackey conspired with other social media influencers to
"disseminate fraudulent messages that encouraged supporters of
presidential candidate Hillary Clinton to
‘vote' via text message or social media which, in reality, was
legally invalid."
Чуваку влепили десяточку за то, что он решил потроллить сторонников Клинтонихи, призвав их голосовать за неё в социальных сетях. Представлете, какие бы сроки влепила бы американская фемида российским оппозиционерам, когда они распускали ложные слухи проо российские выборы?
