Another very heavy sentence was handed down by Judge Timothy Kelly for ‘seditious conspiracy’ and it was handed to former Proud Boys leader Enrique Tarrio.

Tarrio was sentenced to a whopping 22 years behind bars, the longest sentence given for January 6th, even though he wasn’t there during the Capitol riot.

Here’s more from CNN:

Former Proud Boys Chairman Enrique Tarrio was sentenced to 22 years in prison for seditious conspiracy and leading a failed plot to prevent the transfer of power from Donald Trump to Joe Biden.

The sentence from District Judge Timothy Kelly is the longest given to anyone in relation to the January 6, 2021, US Capitol attack.

Tarrio leaned against a podium at the front of the courtroom and hung his head as the judge handed down his sentence. Three other members of Proud Boys leadership were also found guilty of seditious conspiracy and sentenced last week.

“The jury didn’t convict anyone for engaging in politics, they convicted Mr. Tarrio and others of engaging in seditious conspiracy,” Kelly said Tuesday. “I don’t have any indication that he is remorseful for the actual things he is convicted of, which is seditious conspiracy and conspiracy to obstruct the counting of electoral votes.”

“Mr. Tarrio was the ultimate leader of that conspiracy,” Kelly said. “I don’t really think this is super debatable.”

He added: “I do think the evidence supports the inference that Mr. Tarrio was the ultimate leader, the ultimate person who organized, who was motivated by revolutionary zeal.”

Kelly said that while Tarrio may not have been present at the Capitol during the attack…

Tarrio had been arrested in Washington, DC, days before the riot for burning a DC church’s Black Lives Matter banner and bringing high-capacity rifle magazines into the district, and was ordered by a judge to leave the city.

But Kelly said that while Tarrio may not have been present at the Capitol during the attack, the Proud Boys leader “had an outsized impact on the events of the day. “

While the 22-year sentence is the longest for any January 6 defendant, the Justice Department had sought 33 years in prison for Tarrio.

Unbelievable. His only hope may be that of a pardon unless he can win on an appeal.
