Jan. 6 sentences are piling up. Here's a look at some of the longest handed down.​

2h ago

After more than two years since the Jan. 6 riot at the Capitol, the sentences are piling up — and last week saw the longest prison sentence yet.

More than 1,033 of the rioters have been arrested, with approximately 485 federal defendants receiving sentences. About 277 defendants have been sentenced to time behind bars, and roughly 113 defendants have been sentenced to a period of home detention.

Here are the notable figures and some of the longest sentences handed down to Jan. 6 rioters:

Accused Jan. 6 rioter Peter G. Moloney and logo for Black Flag wasp spray (Photos via DOJ)
Still not through with their post-Jan. 6 clampdown, federal prosecutors now want a man accused of spraying bee killer on law enforcement to buzz off to prison for a long time.

Small businessman Peter G. Moloney, a 58-year-old from Bayport, New York, faces a veritable colony of felony and misdemeanor charges that could land him behind bars for decades. Moloney also punched and shoved a photographer for The Associated Press, authorities say. The charges against him include civil disorder, assaulting law enforcement, assault by striking and more.

Raises hand to comment on this article and person.
Again, this was a genuinely pissed off person who got caught up in a “ it’s going to be wild” stop the steal protest (who was also most likely on Qrack) who got thrown under the bus by Trump, his fellow Qultists, cops. The same people who he thought were on his side. Hard lesson learned yes but he also got a raw deal. I take no joy in his misfortune.

FBI resisted opening probe into Trump’s role in Jan. 6 for more than a year​


Hours after he was sworn in as attorney general, Merrick Garland and his deputies gathered in a wood-paneled conference room in the Justice Department for a private briefing on the investigation he had promised to make his highest priority: bringing to justice those responsible for the attack on the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021.

In the two months since the siege, federal agents had conducted 709 searches, charged 278 rioters and identified 885 likely suspects, said Michael R. Sherwin, then-acting U.S. attorney for the District of Columbia, ticking through a slide presentation. Garland and some of his deputies nodded approvingly at the stats, and the new attorney general called the progress “remarkable,” according to people in the room.

Sherwin’s office, with the help of the FBI, was responsible for prosecuting all crimes stemming from the Jan. 6 attack. He had made headlines the day after by refusing to rule out the possibility that President Donald Trump himself could be culpable. “We are looking at all actors, not only the people who went into the building,” Sherwin said in response to a reporter’s question about Trump. “If the evidence fits the elements of a crime, they’re going to be charged.”

But according to a copy of the briefing document, absent from Sherwin’s 11-page presentation to Garland on March 11, 2021, was any reference to Trump or his advisers — those who did not go to the Capitol riot but orchestrated events that led to it.

MAGA rioter defending himself uses trial to question his son who turned him in​

Brian Mock, a Minnesota man who stormed the Capitol on January 6 and is accused of assaulting police officers, was turned in to the FBI by his own son, A.J. — and he used part of his trial to speak to his son from the heart on the stand, reported NBC News on Monday.

Mock, who requested a bench trial, is representing himself in the case, according to the report.

"What you guys did today was treason and a homeland security threat ... Everyone there should be locked up for the rest of their lives, including you," wrote A.J. Mock in one text message that prosecutors showed at trial. "You STORMED THE F---ING CAPITOL." He asked his father "what the hell" made him think "that was a good idea?" And he was, according to the report, "one of several tipsters who turned him into the FBI after the Capitol attack."

Jan. 6 participant, identified nearly two years ago, is arrested near Obama home​

WASHINGTON — A conspiracy-minded Donald Trump supporter who stormed the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6 was arrested Thursday near the home of former President Barack Obama, a law enforcement official told NBC News.

Taylor Taranto, 37, who was identified by online sleuths in August 2021 and is facing a lawsuit from the widow of a Metropolitan Police Department officer who died by suicide, recently showed up at the sentencing of David Walls-Kaufman, his co-defendant in the lawsuit. The lawsuit accuses both men of being involved in an assault on MPD Officer Jeffrey Smith on Jan. 6, which they have both denied.

While Walls-Kaufman was arrested last year and has already been sentenced, Taylor had not been charged.

In recent weeks, Taranto has been living in a van near the D.C. jailhouse, according to his social media, and has repeatedly wondered in online posts why he had not yet been arrested over Jan. 6. Taranto also posted a video of himself on YouTube inside the Capitol during the riot.

Judge Amit Mehta acquitted Oath Keeper member James Beeks on Wednesday, the first Jan. 6 rioter to be cleared of all charges thus far.

Beeks, a former Broadway actor, pastor and Michael Jackson impersonator was arrested in Nov. 2021 while playing the role of Judas in "Jesus Christ Superstar."

He has long proclaimed his innocence and agreed to waive a jury trial to allow Mehta to decide the case – and it worked out in his favor, WUSA reporter Jordan Fischer tweeted.

Man who joined white supremacist march in Charlottesville now charged in Capitol riot​

WASHINGTON — A man who recently finished serving a felony sentence for his role in the 2017 white supremacist March in Charlottesville, Virginia, was arrested this week on new felony counts connected to the Capitol riot.

Federal investigators say Tyler Bradley Dykes, of South Carolina, joined a mob that forced its way through the Columbus Doors on the east side of the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021. In the process, they say, he assaulted police and disarmed an officer of their riot shield. Once inside investigators say Dykes can be seen in his tan baseball cap and grey neck gaiter parading through the building still holding the shield. He faces multiple felony counts of civil disorder, entering a restricted building with a dangerous weapon and assaulting, resisting or impeding police.

A former political appointee of President Donald Trump was found guilty Thursday of joining assaults on police on Jan. 6, 2021, that included one of the most prolonged attacks on officers by rioters in a tunnel at the Lower West Terrace of the U.S. Capitol.

Federico G. Klein, a State Department appointee with a top-secret clearance, was convicted on all counts, including 10 felony charges involving six violent confrontations with multiple law enforcement officers and obstruction of the electoral vote count, after a week-long bench trial before U.S. District Judge Trevor N. McFadden. A co-defendant, Steven Cappuccio, was convicted of six felony counts, but McFadden acquitted him of the obstruction charge and a misdemeanor, ruling that Cappuccio was not politically savvy enough to intend to stop the electoral vote count.

 

Half-Wit Who Stormed the Capitol in His Varsity Jacket Gets 18 Months​

Jan. 6 rioter Brian Gunderson, who was busted in 2021 by numerous tipsters who recognized his high school varsity jacket, was sentenced to 18 months in prison Tuesday for breaching the Capitol. The 28-year-old was found guilty in 2022 of two felony charges after a mountain of evidence showed his involvement in the riot, including a Facebook post that said “we might be able to bum rush the white house and take it over.” According to the feds, Gunderson entered the Capitol with a mob of rioters, at one point stopping to write a note in the Parliamentarian’s Office while others ransacked the room. “Sowwy for damage,” it said, with a crying emoji. Gunderson boasted about the riot on social media in the days that followed, leaving a trail of blatant admissions of guilt including, “we all stormed the us capital and tried to take over the government.”

Hysterical.......................

Former Trump White House adviser Olivia Troye told MSNBC she was given “strict orders” to keep Trump White House official Peter Navarro out of Vice President Mike Pence’s office because he was considered a “complete lunatic” and would write “conspiracy filled memos.”

During an appearance on MSNBC’s The ReidOut, Tuesday, Troye — who worked as Pence’s Homeland Security adviser and as a member of the vice president’s White House Coronavirus Task Force — reacted to a video published by Navarro which warned of an imminent second civil war between Democrats and Republicans.

I've been talking about this for sometime. Maybe?????????????

From the link:

Donald Trump is cruising toward the Republican presidential nomination – and possibly a second term in the White House – despite multiple indictments, but prosecutors may have a way to keep him from power.

The former president has already been indicted in the Mar-a-Lago classified documents case and appears likely to face charges in the Jan. 6 investigation, in addition to state charges in New York and possibly in Georgia, but The Bulwark columnist Jill Lawrence joined a growing list of political and legal experts calling for a universal plea agreement.

 

Teen MAGA rioter who sat in Pence's chair gets jail after 'marathon' sentencing hearing​

A Trump-loving teenager who was arrested for participating in the Jan. 6 riots at the United States Capitol building has been given more than a year in prison after a "marathon" sentencing hearing that lasted two days, according to reports.

He was 18 at the time of the attack on the Capitol.

Cua is one of the youngest individuals charged in connection with the riot, the Associated Press reported.
