Tennessee man pardoned for Jan. 6 offenses gets life in prison in separate case accusing him of trying in incite "civil war"
Edward Kelley faced a separate prosecution for targeting federal agents while he was being investigated for his role in the Capitol attack.
A Tennessee man pardoned by Trump in January for his role in the Jan. 6, 2021, assault on the U.S. Capitol will nevertheless serve a life sentence for plotting to attack FBI agents and seeking to incite a "civil war," according to prosecutors.
Edward Kelley, who was the fourth U.S. Capitol rioter to enter the building on Jan. 6, 2021, faced a separate prosecution for targeting federal agents while he was being investigated for his role in the Capitol attack.
The Justice Department argued Kelley created a "kill list" of FBI agents and others who investigated his role in the Jan. 6 siege. Prosecutors said Kelley "distributed this list — along with videos containing images of certain FBI employees identified on the list — to a co-conspirator as part of his 'mission.'"
Feels like we could have saved our perpetually-strained justice system a lot of ass-ache by just... Sentencing these motherfuckers properly the first time.
And their ringleader
If trying to incite civil war were a crime, then shouldn’t every member of the GOP be in prison?
created a “kill list” of FBI agents
Ah, there it is.
No prob, it's a federal charge again, can be handled same way as before.
So he gets hired as a civil war expert on Fox News?
He’s not dangerous and it was right of Trump to pardon him. /s
Is it Trump?! 😱🤩🫡 C'mon c'mon c'mon!
Fuck, I hope it's—
goddammit.
It really should set a precedent. This was before Trump had “immunity” and if he did the same thing….
But we all know that won’t happen.
Yeah, I'm not even sure if successive, rapidfire GOP head-esplodey on live-TV a la The Boys would do the trick. Ya know, if superpowers were a thing.🤷🏼♂️
This country's so far gone, the wisest plan'd seem to be decisive, silent distancing —but the fallout's inherently global, so 🫠☠️🫣
life sentence for plotting to attack FBI agents and seeking to incite a “civil war,” according to prosecutors.
???
Usually a sentence is not according to a prosecutor, but a court decision by a judge.
So which is it?According to prosecutors is describing "...for plotting to attack FBI agents and seeking to incite a "civil war,"" not the sentencing.
I'm not sure what your point is? You state according to the prosecutor, when I just stated that a sentence is not normally according to a prosecutor, but an actual court decision!
The headline clearly indicates that he actually got life in prison, as he was sentenced by the court. But completely fails to mention the actual judgement by the court?
The prosecutor is not responsible for announcing sentencing, but the prosecutor is the only source stated.
Repeating what the prosecutor stated once again does not help.
Surely the prosecutor was there though, right?
They can also recommend a sentence, which is very problematic since the judge often uses it as a baseline. Especially since they're also the one negotiating for plea deals
