I guess consequences can be demoralizing once you realize they’re real and you have to suffer them.

"You can run but you can't hide" Justice not only needs to be done, it must be SEEN to have been done. FAFO in Texas.

Isn't it also a federal crime to post death threats targeting judges? Thanks for your intrepid reporting on these criminals, Andy! This reminds me of the Bader-Meinhof gang in West Germany in the 1970s.

Yes, Antifa is modeled on the Baader-Meinhof-style direct action terror cells.

The media can keep pretending Antifa is a vibe, but federal court records now say otherwise. Defendants pleaded guilty to providing material support to terrorists. Cooperators testified. Judges imposed decades in prison. State prosecutions remain. Threats against judges followed. That is not dissent. That is an extremist ecosystem with weapons, ideology, logistics, intimidation, and consequences. The protected-protest narrative collapsed because jurors saw evidence, not slogans. Every official who minimized this movement owes the public an explanation. If Antifa does not exist, why are there cells, ringleaders, firearms, ambushes, defendants, guilty pleas, convictions, appeals, and death threats?

Great news. It is a shame it is not more widely reported.

Thanks for continuing to report on these criminals. I am tired of hearing 'charges dropped' after reading about Antifa violence. I hope they all enjoy their experience in the 'gray-bar hotel'.

How difficult is it to get this information? Of course there is no mention in mainstream media that I have seen (only see it when wife has it on TV). In any event, it is great news that some of these types at least pretend and perhaps a little sincerely, apologized. They will have to worry about being ratted out by their "comrades" who can hope to get 75%ish taken off their Federal sentences by cooperating.

What a bunch of disgusting perverts!

Wonderful. The key is always to get defendants to “ flip” in anticipation of a lighter sentence. Based on this, that is what happens.

Regarding the “ trans,” do they get their biological sex prisons or their fantasized sex prisons?

Federal prison is a trans detox spa: they will be housed correctly based upon what they really are. I hope they'll figure some stuff out during their time away.

I wonder who’s fronting Batten’s appeal? Even nonprofits have bills to pay.

"Non-profit" NGO's are the Democrats' favorite form of money laundering

Boy those sentences are uneven - I wonder what those defendants with the lightest sentences did. I imagine it wasn't the extent to which they cooperated but the speed with which they did so.
