"The dangerous ruling buffoons don't realise the damage they are doing to Pak's image abroad by sham FIRs & absurd sedition charges against a former PM for using terms 'Dirty Harry' & 'psycopath'! They are making a mockery of Pakistan," tweeted Khan.
your democracy and who would hurt you unless you re on board with the trump coup. there is a modicum of a legal process and justice in this country. that is now damning evidence at that very militia leader s trial, which is happening this week. big news, big story. attorney general garland and some legal experts now have moved the needle. they ve won those other sedition cases and they view sedition when you look at jigs as part of the baseline for legal accountability. the justice department remains committed to holding all january 6th perpetrators at any level accountable under law. these charges are very rare. prosecutors have an unusual volume of evidence against stewart rhodes and others of the organization. you re allowed to plan a protest. you re not allowed to plan taking over the government. taking over the government
so, these sedition cases which can hit convicts with 20 years in prison on top of whatever other crimes they re convicted of, are a huge deal, rarely pursued. and that is the factual context for the garland donl to go at them, through the book at them. aggressive. sedition. that means the doj says it has the evidence that was more than violence, more than plots, that it was coordinated, trump boosting plot against the united states government was it was the violent muscle of the coup to overthrow the election. the doj having hard evidence on tape. the proud boys established a command structure in anticipation of coming back to d.c. on january 6th. you better get your [ bleep ] to d.c., folks, this saturday. if you don t, there will be no more republic, or we wind up in a bloody fight women all know
