    That further lets people know that law enforcement has white supremacist embedded since the police force has been created.

    For the sake of restoring trust in law enforcement any LEO who are found to have participated in Jan. 6th need to have the book thrown at them.

    Important to note he pled guilty, cooperated, and was highly remorseful. He also didn’t assault police I’m pretty sure. I think most people will see this as a reasonable sentence and good baseline to sentence people more or less on.

    I would think the guys who are proven to have sent police to the hospital will get roughly 3 years.

    The people who need to see real jail time though are people like Alex Jones and Roger Stone who we all know organized this sh$t show insurrection. Given Stone is already a felon they need to lay the hammer on the guy. He’s destroyed this country enough with Nixon, the Brooks Bros riot, and countless nonsense with Trump.

    Kevin McCarthy has made his picks for the House Jan. 6th Panel. Headlining is Jim Jordan but it also includes Troy Nehls who had been fired as an LEO for mishandling evidence.

    Jim Jordan among McCarthy picks for Jan. 6 panel
    BY SCOTT WONG - 07/19/21 06:47 PM EDT

    House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) on Monday is expected to pick five Republicans to serve on the special House committee created to investigate the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol.

    The top Republican on the bipartisan panel will be Rep. Jim Banks (Ind.), a rising star who is serving this cycle as chairman of the conservative Republican Study Committee, GOP sources said.

    The others , sources said, are Rep. Jim Jordan (Ohio), the top Republican on the Judiciary Committee and the co-founder of the far-right Freedom Caucus; Rep. Rodney Davis (Ill.), the top Republican on the Administration Committee; and Reps. Kelly Armstrong (N.D.) and Troy Nehls (Texas), a former county sheriff.

    Politico first reported McCarthy’s picks.

    While all five picks have backed former President Trump in the past, not all of them supported his efforts to overturn Democratic President Biden’s election victory in November. Jordan, Banks and Nehls were among 139 House Republicans who voted to overturn the election results, while Davis and Armstrong voted to certify the results.

    Jordan has been one of Trump’s most fervent loyalists on Capitol Hill. The former collegiate wrestling champion and coach defended Trump during both his impeachment proceedings, arguing that Democrats were “obsessed” with taking down Trump.

    The five McCarthy picks will join the eight lawmakers — seven Democrats plus Rep. Liz Cheney (R-Wyo.) — tapped by Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.). The special panel is chaired by Homeland Security Chairman Bennie Thompson (D-Miss.).

    The Jan. 6 committee will hold its first hearing July 27, featuring testimony from Capitol Police and D.C. Metropolitan Police officers who defended the Capitol during the hours-long assault, including injured D.C. police officer Michael Fanone.

    In a statement on his appointment, Banks made clear he’ll use his platform to try to turn the focus back on Democrats, raising questions about why the Capitol was not more secure on Jan. 6 and why Democrats chose not to include in the committee’s scope other acts of political violence that occurred amid last year’s Black Lives Matter protests.

    “Make no mistake, Nancy Pelosi created this committee solely to malign conservatives and to justify the Left’s authoritarian agenda,” Banks said. "Even then, I will do everything possible to give the American people the facts about the lead up to January 6, the riot that day, and the responses from Capitol leadership and the Biden administration.

    “I will not allow this committee to be turned into a forum for condemning millions of Americans because of their political beliefs.”

    I wonder how long McCarthy wrestled over his picks for the committee?

    This little gem was in the article as well......

    "Jackson, who is reportedly homeless and suffers from mental health issues, was not given bond. His preliminary hearing is scheduled for February."

    So the one black guy known to be involved in the Capitol Riot is homeless and suffers from mental health issues....... that is telling.

    I'm glad they didn't get Olivia.

    Olivia Munn, that's my girl. I don't care that she's 41 now and the quarterback's leftovers. Daddy still like.

    "Okay," the MAGA politician tells Jackson in his cell, "remember, when they ask you, tell them you're Antifa. Can you remember that? Antifa."

    (Parenthetically, don't they all suffer from mental health issues?)
