A Donald Trump supporter who bashed in a Capitol window, assaulted police officers with pepper spray and urged the mob to “pull the cops out” during the brutal battle at the lower west tunnel on Jan. 6, 2021, is asking a judge to grant him early release, saying he was “manipulated” by the former president and Fox News.

Mitchell Todd Gardner, who was wearing a Trump hat and a “Reagan Bush ’84” sweatshirt during the Capitol attack, yelled “pull the police out,” “pull the cops out,” and “grab their hands and pull them out” during the battle, and then unloaded a fire extinguisher-sized canister of OC spray on officers in the tunnel, according to evidence shown at trial. He then bashed a Capitol window and entered into a suite of Senate “hideaway” offices that were assigned to Republican senators, including one belonging to Sen. Jim Risch, R-Idaho.

Gardner wrote a memo, styled as a “Motion for Compassionate Release and/or Reduction of Sentence,” that was filed on the docket in his criminal case this week. In it, Gardner states that he and “so many other Americans” were “persuaded by then President Donald J. Trump that he had irrefutable evidence that he had been cheated by a ‘rigged election.’”

In his memo, Gardner writes that “a large group of hard-working, red-blooded Americans” were influenced by Trump and “felt obligated to act on his behalf” to save the country.

Gardner’s memo cites the U.S. Sentencing Commission’s “2023 Criminal History Amendment,” which went into effect on Nov. 1, in arguing for a sentence reduction, though it is unclear if Gardner would actually be eligible under that amendment. Gardner, representing himself pro se, wrote the memo from the low-security federal prison at Fort Dix in New Jersey, where he’s being held.

Well I'm a hard-working red-blooded American, so Laws don't apply to me, right?

Fuck a bunch of MAGA orcs.   

They're in jail, which is where lawbreakers deserve to be.

Too bad the MAGA Fanatics here praise them for being lawbreakers.

Maryann Mooney-Rondon and her son, Rafael Rondon, were sentenced on Wednesday for aiding in
the theft of former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's laptop during the Capitol riot on Jan. 6, receiving
12 and 18 months of home incarceration, respectively.

During sentencing, U.S. District Judge Jia Cobb referred to their case as a "difficult" one, according
to NBC News, saying that neither of the defendants were "criminal masterminds" and describing
their actions on the day in question as being “juvenile.”

A year of in-home incarceration for her, and 18 months in-home incarceration for him.

WHY do you keep saying this is outrageous?

Donald Trump is no supporter of someone like that.


Horse SHIT!  He is responsible for his own actions.  Trump told him to "PEACEFULLY AND PATRIOTICALLY MAKE (his) VOICE HEARD."  The jackass should have taken Trump's advice.

There was no "insurrection".

A REAL insurrection wouldn't happen in just ONE place.

And again, most people would stand there at 9 o’clock in the evening and say I want to thank you very much, and they go off to some other life. But I said something’s wrong here, something is really wrong, can have happened.

And we fight. We fight like hell. And if you don’t fight like hell, you’re not going to have a country anymore.

Our exciting adventures and boldest endeavors have not yet begun. My fellow Americans, for our movement, for our children, and for our beloved country.

And I say this despite all that’s happened. The best is yet to come.

So we’re going to, we’re going to walk down Pennsylvania Avenue. I love Pennsylvania Avenue. And we’re going to the Capitol, and we’re going to try and give.

The Democrats are hopeless, they never vote for anything. Not even one vote. But we’re going to try and give our Republicans, the weak ones because the strong ones don’t need any of our help. We’re going to try and give them the kind of pride and boldness that they need to take back our country.

So let’s walk down Pennsylvania Avenue.

++++++++++++++++++++++++

He also said ALL of that, after making shit up about the elections.

And all the MAGA Idiots, like you, believe everything Trump says.

So all of you went to the Capitol to "Fight like hell!"
