The first January 6 rioter to be sentenced for a felony reported to prison to serve his eight-month sentence, while mounting a longshot legal bid to undo his guilty plea

Paul Hodgkins of Florida stormed the US Capitol during the pro-Trump insurrection and was one of the few dozen rioters who breached the Senate floor shortly after it was evacuated. He pleaded guilty to obstructing the congressional certification of Joe Biden's victory and was sentenced to eight months in prison.

Over the objections of the Justice Department, the judge gave Stewart more time to file an appeal, but he rejected her last-minute attempt to delay Hodgkins' surrender date until JanuaryAt a hastily arranged court hearing on last Wednesday, Stewart claimed that Leduc perpetuated a"forgery upon the court" by faking Hodgkins' signature on some of the plea documents.

Just 8 months? Ok

Do the crime, do the time! 👍Despicable conduct does not allow you to pass go!

I STILL say CONGRESS got exactly what they deserved. They have robbed the people blind, abused the masses and lined their pockets! Did they really believe they were untouchable? They were WRONG.

So funny, no focus on the rioter our VP helped to bail out, only to commit a horrible crime.

Are they going to arrest the instigator who cheered on and filmed while getting paid for his footage by CNN? Guessing not.

In all fairness we need more of people saying no to this barbaric world of wrong politics. Riots don’t start because people are happy. There’s always a riot there’s always some form of protest. Not just in the bloated wind Umerica. Politics of the world are a disgrace.

He pleased guilty and then tried to go in some sort of revision? It's called 'A Mike Flynn'

8 months for open treason?

Ahh so he was a rioters and not an insurrectionists.. good to know

8 months LOL if he was a black or Hispanic 10 years no less....America. I know a guy that got 1 year for an oz of weed. Our system...........................

How much time did these guys get? Asking for a friend

They couldn't plant a joint on him or something? Treason used to be a more serious crime. Didn't it?

Ki, 5

Should be 40 years.

If it happened in China, CNN would say this is a democracy fighter persecuted by the government.

To the rest of the j6 crowd here's Oprah

We’ll see if Trump sends him some money while doin that bid. Or takes care of his family while he’s gone. If not….?

Only 8 months? The fuck?

Rally for Capitol riot suspects draws small crowd of protestors amid heavy securityA far-right rally staged near the heavily-guarded Capitol opened and closed Saturday with a modest gathering of demonstrators who appeared at some points outnumbered by police and journalists. Fed failure. From pix of these few, looks like most were feds. Our tax dollars at work. “Journalists” 😂👍 Such a disappointment to all the 'progressive' media that loves to hype the 'terrible dangers' of what it calls the far-right.
