A Jan. 6 defendant who surged with the mob into Pelosi’s office and helped strategize ways for the mob to overcome police resistance was sentenced to 3 years in prison. A jury convicted Riley Williams of civil disorder and resisting police.

Barrett Prettyman U.S. District Courthouse on Nov. 18, 2022, in Washington, D.C. | Kevin Dietsch/Getty ImagesA Jan. 6 defendant who surged with the mob into Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s office and helped strategize ways for the mob to overcome police resistance was sentenced Thursday to 36 months in prison, ending one of the earliest and most unusual sagas to stem from the Capitol attack.

“She was not just a little waif blowing in the wind,” Jackson said, comparing Williams’ role in the mob to a “coxswain on a crew team.” A jury convicted Williams in December of civil disorder and resisting police but deadlocked on a charge that Williams obstructed Congress and abetted the theft of Pelosi’s laptop. Williams is on tape entering Pelosi’s conference room while other rioters took the laptop, and she encouraged them to steal it, but Williams’ lawyers contended that it was unclear if the other rioters heard her comment.

It was not, Jackson emphasized, “because her dizzy little head was confused about which building in Washington was which.”

Another colonial minuteman incarcerated how bout them elite bass turds that rip off American taxpayers everyday there is room for them also 🤡🤡🤡🤡🎪 gotta love the Bozo show

Is the Clinton Foundation paying blacks to prosecute Trump now ?

Imagine what the looters and arsonists who destroyed entire city blocks would get if the administration wasn't partial to anti-Americans and criminals.

RepScottPerry, Riley lives in your District. Did you stand up for her at her sentencing? Did you tell the judge you spent the 3 months before the 1/6 Insurrection lying to your constituents about the stolen election and trying to overturn their votes? I didn’t think so. Coward.

I believe it was Williams who said, “they don’t put people like me in jail.” FAFO.

On the one hand, I agree with trying all these people for the J6 mayhem, and on the other hand (a) most of these sentences are exceedingly and disproportionately harsh and (b) their ring-leader has been given a free-pass because he's an oligarch which adds insult to injury.

Even Pelosi's own daughter admitted that there was NO INSURRECTION. take a tour, go to prison.

Imagine if the treated BLM and antifa terrorists this way?

A bit much for protesting and trespassing...the summer of love was much worse than that and went longer than a half day...months?

You trespass into Nancy's office, you get 3 years. You burn down federal courts (and are a Democrat voter), you get 0 days. You loot high end stores (and are a Democrat voter, you get 0 days You push people onto the subway tracks (and are a Democrat voter), you get 0 days.

Very, very cool! She REALLY needs to be out of circulation!
