[NJCher]

[leftieNanner]

Excellent!

[Chainfire]

17. They told him to bring his toothbrush to the trial today. ;)

[Tomconroy]

14. I believe they were all or almost all locked up pending trial

[NJCher]

16. ah

then they will have that time applied to their sentence and will not, of course, get the opportunity to go home. Straight back to the slammer.

[NJCher]

8. guilty verdicts across the board

but only two for seditious conspiracy: Meggs and Elmer.

The other three coming up shortly: Jessica Watkins, K. Harrelson, and Thomas Caldwell. Obstruction of official proceeding.

[wiggs]

11. wonder if Rhodes and Meggs might be willing to cooperate now, before sentencing? nt

[Samrob]

12. eF them! nt

[wiggs]

13. We want to hear LOT more about complicit congressional figures, Flynn, Stone, Bannon etc so

I welcome their desperation and self-interest.

[Chainfire]

15. It is time for the sending judge to send a message.

Statute allows for 25 years.

[NQAS]

18. Max sentence and....

Fines along the lines of hundreds of millions. No slaps on the wrist for attempted coup.

[Major Nikon]

19. Eye did nazi that coming

[Hassler]

20. Hey Elmer, enjoy the fine prison cuisine you traitor.

[mcar]

21. Thank you, AG Garland and team

[TomSlick]

22. Righteous verdict.

I expect to see a rush of other defendants to negotiate pleas.
