(AP) " A Georgia man who stormed the U.S. Capitol with fellow members of the anti-government Oath Keepers extremist group was sentenced on Tuesday to probation and home detention instead of prison " a reward for helping prosecutors in one of the most consequential cases arising from the Jan. 6, 2021, riot.

Brian Ulrich pleaded guilty in 2022 to seditious conspiracy, which is the most serious criminal charge stemming from the attack on the Capitol by a mob of Donald Trump supporters.

"U.S. District Judge Amit Mehta didn't mention the prospect of mass pardons before he sentenced Ulrich to three years of probation with six months of home detention and 120 hours of community service.

In May 2023, Oath Keepers founder Stewart Rhodes was sentenced to 18 years in prison for orchestrating a plot to keep Trump in the White House after he lost the 2020 presidential election. Juries convicted Rhodes and several other extremist group leaders and members of seditious conspiracy charges.

The judge said Ulrich deserves a "debt of gratitude" because his courageous acceptance of responsibility could help the nation "heal and move forward."

"It shouldn't be lost on this country that people were found guilty of seditious conspiracy," Mehta said. "It is one of the most serious crimes that can be committed by an American."

It shouldn't be lost on this country that DJT is also guilty of seditious conspiracy; of being the brains behind the effort to overturn the Election.

Which is, of course, why it failed.

Next time he wants to stay in power, he'll have Gaetz to force Justice to bend the knee to the King rather than do their sworn duty to the Constitution.

Was that "courageous acceptance of responsibility" done to reduce a jail sentence, or was it sincere?
