Y’all are too young to remember this, so am I, but back in the fifties during the Army-McCarthy hearings, Wisconsin senator Joseph McCarthy had a lawyer named Roy Cohn. Roy Cohn went on to become a lawyer for Donald Trump. Trump only hires the best. People are saying.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Hodgkins' lawyer, Patrick Leduc, urged the judge not to impose a prison sentence, saying in a court filing that Hodgkins is "law abiding, hardworking, honest, caring, kind, thoughtful, generous, and the kind of person you would want for a neighbor." On the day of the riot, he "lost his bearings and his way....lol....
The maximum penalty was 20 years in prison and the judge only gave him 8 months, he got off easy. I hope this isn't a sign of things to come.
Can you imagine if liberals had done something like this? Heads would be rolling in town square... But this guy gets 8 months. "But, these are good ol' boys, yer honor...

Capitol rioter gets eight months in prison in first felony sentencing from January 6 attack excerpt: "So far, nearly 20 Capitol rioters have entered guilty pleas, and two have been sentenced for misdemeanor crimes: one, Anna Morgan-Lloyd, was sentenced to three years probation and no jail time, and another, Michael Curzio, was sentenced to six months imprisonment, although the courts credited him for the nearly six months he had already spent incarcerated as he waited for the courts to hear his case. Those who have pleaded guilty face a wide range of recommended sentences, based on their charges — a reminder of the differing allegations against Capitol riot defendants, some of whom have been charged only with misdemeanors, while others could see years in prison for alleged assaults on officers, conspiracy and weapons crimes. One defendant, Josiah Colt, pleaded guilty to the same obstruction charge as Hodgkins, but faces a recommended sentencing range of 51 months to 63 months, more than three times higher than Hodgkins' original recommended sentence. Unlike Hodgkins, Colt was accused of bringing a cache of weapons and ammunition to D.C., and has agreed to cooperate with prosecutors as they bring cases against two co-conspirators."
Capitol rioter gets eight months in prison in first felony sentencing from January 6 attack excerpt: "Hodgkins said that since his arrest, he'd spent more than 100 hours volunteering at an animal shelter and food bank, had joined a church, and had been vaccinated against COVID-19. "In addition," he said, "I wish to state that I completely acknowledge and accept that Joseph R. Biden Jr. is respectfully and rightfully the President of the United States." When announcing his decision, Moss cited the fact that Hodgkins stood beside the dais of the U.S. Senate and raised a "Trump 2020" flag. The symbolism of that act, Moss said, was "unmistakable." Hodgkins had staked a claim on the floor of the United States Senate, "not with the American flag," Moss said, but with a flag that declared his loyalty "to a single individual, over a nation." Moss said, "That act captured the threat to Democracy that we all witnessed that day.""
One of Trump's protesters removed an elevated American flag on the outside of the Capitol, let it drop to the ground, and attempted to put a Trump flag in its place. Pro-Trump Rioters Tear Down American Flag, Replace it With Trump Flag at U.S. Capitol Building excerpt: "Rioters have ripped an American flag off of a flagpole outside the United States Capitol building and replaced it with a Trump flag as thousands of pro-Trump agitators descended on the Capitol Wednesday protesting his loss in the 2020 election. Huffington Post reporter Igor Bobic captured the moment a group of people climbed scaffolding to the second floor of the building where an American flag was hung. One of the men tore down the flag and threw it to to the ground, inciting cheers and applause from some watching. He then attempted to replace it with a Trump flag."
