They really did release him but that doesn't stop the Babylon Bee from having a little fun with the story.

After spending 11 bail denied months in solitary before he was even sentenced, and then another 16 months based on false and incomplete evidence, I hope the shaman makes a bundle on his lawsuit.

Was that purple haired Sanchez from California. I like how she got called out on using the wrong Twitter account as evidence but went ahead like it was the FBI guy's account anyway.

I'm rooting for him to win big in the lawsuit.

Quote
Rhodes took the stand in his case, saying at trial that the other members of the Oath Keepers were "stupid" to storm the Capitol and that he disagreed with those who went inside; Rhodes did not enter the building. “I had no idea that any Oath Keeper was even thinking about going inside or would go inside,” Rhodes said.

Still making arrests

Quote
Another Louisville man is facing federal charges more than two years after the Jan. 6 Capitol breach.

The U.S. Department of Justice announced on Thursday the arrest of 47-year-old Daniel Edwin Wilson.

Court document contain screenshots from surveillance footage that investigators said show Wilson outside and inside the Capitol.

Probably worth pointing out here that Jefferson Davis was not charged with Sedition despite leading a whole ass rebellion.  The idea that these rioters were actually conspring to overthrow the government is retarded.

Treating it as so in the courts while playing favorites with rioters on your own side, rioters that actually set government buildings on fire, is opening a very raw and nasty wound between the more extreme tribes of this country.

I suspect that such a result is a desired reaction.
I also believe that it will tend to draw more right wing types closer to the fringe.

Always good to know who is supporting the current pogrom, thanks.

Just because I don't support a fringe cause/group/nutjob, doesn't mean I support the other side.

If you're happy about somebody getting 18 years in prison for what you consider unpopular or offensive language, then you kinda do support the other side.

It was a jury trial, if was just an unpopular opinion, at least one juror could of been persuaded by Rhodes legal representation.

Any juror in DC knows damn well that not voting to convict any Proud Boy, Oath Keeper, or any J6 defendant will result in total social parish status.  And likely unemployment.
