    Turley continues:

    "It is a sharp contrast to the harsh position taken by the Biden Justice Department on many of those accused of rioting on January 6th. AG Garland cited the threat to police officers in pledging an unprecedented effort to charge those involved "on any level" in the riot..."

    Yet, the Biden Administration walked back the charges, unraveled the earlier plea to a lesser offense, and told that court that the earlier charges would have resulted in “excessive sentencing” for the attorneys. Instead, they are supporting a maximum sentence of five years with a recommendation of between 18 to 24 months imprisonment...

    They will now be given sentences closer to tax fraud than terrorism.

    Yet Navarro is placed in cuffs and leg irons, when a simple notification of arrest would have done.

      Remember when Holder was held in contempt of congress for refusing to turn over documents about Fast and Furious, and they handcuffed him and frog-marched him to court?

      Good times.

        I recall the storming of elderly Roger Stone’s residence as the government retaliated against a known Trump sympathizer. All of these situations would make lefties feel the country was heading to terrifying places, if they were right-on-left abuses of power. By our emotional reactions shall our political tribe be known.

          Yes, a SWAT team was needed, along with a boat contingent for the waterway. Elderly men are notorious for their violence and evasiveness.

            My all time favorite "shrug, nothing to see here" moment from our leftist culture was when they accepted, as more or less the right side of history in the making, the violent week-long takeover of the neighborhood in Seattle.

                These double standards could not be more obvious. This is what righteousness looks like in human cultural behavior. Rules for thee but not for me.

                  Good times.

                  I'd forgotten about this one:

                  Lois Lerner:

                  The resolution resolves that Lois G. Lerner, former Director, Exempt Organizations, Internal Revenue Service (IRS), be found in contempt of Congress for failure to testify before the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform as required by a congressional subpoena.[1]

                  The resolution directs the Speaker of the House of Representatives to certify the committee's report detailing the refusal of Lerner to testify before the committee as directed by the subpoena to the U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia to the end that Lerner be proceeded against in the manner and form provided by law, and to otherwise take all appropriate action to enforce the subpoena.

                      One year.

                      Colinford Mattis's sentence was the second of its kind delivered by U.S. District Judge Brian Cogan of the Eastern District of New York after Urooj Rahman, a public interest lawyer who joined Mattis in the firebombing, was sentenced in November to 15 months. In a pre-sentencing memo, prosecutors said they viewed "Mattis's conduct here as equally culpable to Rahman's conduct" and recommended a sentence of 18 to 24 months—well beneath the initial guideline of 10 years. Mattis's attorney, Sabrina Shroff, declined to comment.
                      Mattis and Rahman leveraged their prestigious degrees, left-wing legal advocacy, and personal connections—including with one former Obama administration official who posted Rahman's $250,000 bail—to curry favor with the Justice Department. Liberal media outlets like NPR and New York magazine produced fawning coverage of the two after their arrest.
                      Trump administration prosecutors had sought a 10-year sentence with a domestic terrorism enhancement for the pair, which was dropped after President Joe Biden and Attorney General Merrick Garland took office. Mattis and Rahman in June scored a sweetheart deal with Department of Justice prosecutors, pleading guilty to lesser arson and explosives charges that warranted a mere five-year sentence. New York State announced before Rahman's sentencing that both she and Mattis had been disbarred.

                      Can you imagine what it would have been had she been parading?
