[DemocratSinceBirth]

(CNN)The Justice Department revealed new charges against a Texas man who allegedly participated in the Capitol attack and posted online death threats against Democratic Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and a US Capitol Police officer.

Garret Miller of Texas faces five criminal charges stemming from the Capitol insurrection, including trespassing offenses and making death threats. Miller allegedly tweeted, "assassinate AOC," according to court documents.

...

Clint Broden, a lawyer for Miller, told CNN Saturday that his client "certainly regrets what he did."
"He did it in support of former President (Donald) Trump, but regrets his actions. He has the support of his family, and a lot of the comments, as viewed in context, are really sort of misguided political hyperbole. Given the political divide these days, there is a lot of hyperbole," Broden said.

1. Lots of 'regret' from the terrorists.

The regret comes because they did not succeed at overthrowing the government. If they had succeeded there would be no regret.

2. Tell it to the judge!! I highly doubt that will end your legal troubles

3. "The Donald made me do it" is fast becoming the go-to defense for these Capitol insurrectionists.

6. Like it worked at Nuremburg

8. At Those Trials, It Was Considered...

...an admission of guilt.
Almost all those using that defense got at least 10 years. Some were still hanged.
You're not kidding about that defense as Nuremberg

4. "misguided political hyperbole "

My ass.

[Wellstone ruled]

5. Interesting.

Yah right,seems to me there were hundreds that used that same defense in Nuremberg in 1947 to 1949. That lie of crap did not cut it.

7. Given the political divide indeed.

These people are the political divide. It is like the arsonists blaming the fire on the matches and gasoline.

9. Who Knew Gasoline Was Flammable?

That's their next line of defense!
