This is just sad...we almost have Trump (Jan 6. committee) and this judge sounded like they believe Trump’s guilty as well. Yet, the rioter was found guilty.
I believe he thought he was following Trump’s orders. He’s been brainwashed by a Russian disinformation campaign, Q/QAnon.
If anyone else had been brainwashed into doing something like this, I think we’d say, no, he was brainwashed, he’s not guilty. The other side instead said, this isn’t Trump’s trial, it’s yours.
In my eyes the guilty parties are Trump and Russia (Vladimir Putin and the Russian government).
Hopefully he doesn’t get too long of a sentence. I don’t think the other person I read about who was found guilty got a very long one.
I think history will see the rioters as victims of Russia and Trump’s actions...but right now, at this point, we haven’t convicted Trump and we want someone to blame. It looks like they also want to make an example out of him to prevent insurrections like the Jan. 6 one from happening again. Trump looks guilty AF at this point, especially because of the missing call logs, and eventually we’re going to all agree that Q/QAnon was one of Russia’s many attempts to dismantle the US government and cause another American civil war. Hindsight is 20/20.
