I may vote for Trump just because he will free the Jan 6 "victims" that have been prosecuted by the Biden team. These jail terms are not commensurate with the "crimes".

Look hard at the belief system you have.

SNIP Three years after the Capitol attack, federal judges in Washington have sentenced more than half of the roughly 1,200 people charged in the largest investigation in U.S. history and have handed down lighter punishments for Jan. 6 assault convictions compared with similar assault cases nationally, a Washington Post analysis shows.

Judges have ordered prison time for nearly every defendant convicted of a felony and some jail time to about half of those convicted of misdemeanors.

But in the vast majority of the more than 700 sentencings to date, judges have issued punishments below government guidelines and prosecutors’ requests. Though more than 60 percent of the defendants sentenced so far have received jail or prison terms, the judges have gone below federal sentencing guidelines in 67 percent of the cases, Post data shows. Nationally, federal judges go below the advisory guidelines about 51 percent of the time, according to federal statistics.

As Capitol riot prosecutions enter their fourth year, here is a look at what has happened to defendants so far. SNIP

You need to recalibrate. I'm happy with the light sentences for those who appear to have just been there. But there were plenty of people who were not "just there". I'm happy with the long sentences for top folks in the Oathkeepers or Proud Boys. I want to keep them there as a big sign post - TRUMP F'ED THEM! WATCH OUT! Trump could have issued blanket pardons and specific pardons. Whey didn't he? He was worried about his own ass is why. And you want to vote for him for this reason? Explicative Deleted.
