WASHINGTON A federal judge sentenced a retired Air Force lieutenant colonel to two years in prison Friday for joining a mob that occupied the U.S. Senate on Jan. 6, 2021.
Excerpt:
...
Prosecutors asked Bates to sentence Brock to five years in prison at the lower end of the recommended guideline range theyd calculated in no small part because of what they described as a manifesto he sent to another military veteran on Christmas Eve 2020. Titled Plan of Action if Congress fails to act on 6 January, the document laid out eight points that Brock described as main tasks, including:
- Seizing all democratic politicians and Biden key staff and select republicans, including Senators John Thune and Mitch McConnell, and interrogating them using measures we used on Al Queda (sic).
- Seizing national media figures. Brock wrote they should eliminate them. Media silence except for White House communications.
- Former President Donald Trump issuing a general pardon for all crimes up to and including murder for those who put down the Democratic Insurrection.
Brocks task list also included the note, Do not kill LEO unless necessary. Gas would assist in this if we can get it.
