The heavy sentences have certainly been racking up lately. I wonder if they got all of the small fry out of the way with plea deals to build bigger cases.
Another good thing about these people being convicted is that the conviction should bar them from working in the same capacities as they previously did. All of these people are now felons.
These aren’t misdemeanor crimes with a slap on the wrist and you know kind of have to shamefully report it to HR when you get a new job, no.
This is the, “Our firm is not going to work with you because you attempted to overthrow the government you felon” kind of thing, the kind of thing where your family has a realistic possibility of experiencing extreme financial distress and poverty or homelessness for the rest of your life because you are that guy.
This is betting it all on what was supposed to be a loaded set of dice and rolling snake eyes.

Do these convictions mean they cannot vote in the next election?
Afaik felons can’t vote in most states, but there’s been a push to reverse that.
Pretty sure that was the plan, all along.
