Jan. 6 seditionist gets life in prison despite Trump’s efforts to free rioters
A man who participated in Donald Trump's seditious Jan. 6 riots has been sentenced to life behind bars despite the wannabe dictator's unconscionable efforts to pardon him. Edward Kelley has been convicted of plotting to murder FBI special agents who investigated him over his actions on Jan. 6. Kelley was initially convicted in November of conspiracy to murder United States employees, solicitation to commit a crime of violence, and influencing or retaliating against federal officials by threat. Nonetheless, Trump pardoned Kelley along with over 1,500 other Jan. 6 rioters when he took power in January. Still, Kelley couldn’t steer clear of prison forever. A few months later, US District Judge Thomas A. Varlan sentenced Kelley during a hearing in Knoxville, Tennessee, revealing that he had plotted to murder FBI special agents. Although Kelley’s team argued that Trump’s blanket pardon should also apply to his murder plot, a federal judge sensibly ruled otherwise. Federal prosecutors called Kelley "remorseless" in his efforts to kill agents, including by strategizing ways to bomb the FBI Knoxville office, creating a hit list, conducting combat drills to realize his plan, and forming a self-styled militia to attack FBI agents. They added that he "committed crimes that are serious, violent, and all designed to achieve the same end: the murder of federal, state, and local law enforcement." Co-conspiracist Austin Carter, who pled guilty, is set to be sentenced next month. Who wants to place bets on future Trump pardons for these bestial enemies of the state?
Having some egomania is healthy sometimes, but whether you have Obama nailed on that point, or not, there is no way at all any pride, whatever, should be any hindrance to any effort in opposition to Trump's thuggery.
