Holder says he's 'concerned' penalties for some Jan. 6 defendants not high enough

This fricking hack.
Obama-era Attorney General Eric Holder said Thursday he is "concerned" that some of the sentences being brought against defendants in the Jan. 6 Capitol insurrection are not high enough.
While speaking with Wolf Blitzer at CNN's Citizen Conference, Holder was asked if he believed federal authorities are being aggressive enough towards the rioters.
"I do think that the Department of Justice is doing a good job. This is a resource-intense issue. You know, I guess there have been I guess 400 people or so charged at this point, potentially more," Holder said. "Anybody who participated in that coup attempt on January the sixth has to be held accountable, has to be identified and then held accountable. And so I think the Justice Department is doing a good job so far."

However, he added, "I'm a little concerned as I think some judges have indicated that we've watched at least some of the cases, the penalties that were sought by the Justice Department were not necessarily high enough."
"We have not seen attacks on the system, our democratic system, probably ever in our nation, but certainly maybe since you know, since the Civil War, when we had an outright rebellion," he said. "We have people now who are not committed to American democracy but more committed to the retention of power, trying to keep their fellow citizens away from the polls, trying to interfere with our infrastructure through gerrymandering."
Holder expressed hope that all people, regardless of political affiliation, would begin to focus on these issues in a way they haven't before, saying once that happens, "we'll get to a better place." LINK

Has anyone been charged with a felony yet?
Everything I've seen has been grandmas charged with misdemeanor parading and trespassing.

By the way…. When do the trials start for the people that started the insurrection at the Department of the Interior last month? Where are they imprisoned at??
Haven’t heard that.

this is Stalin-level propaganda. This entire scam is straight from the Soviet playbook.

He and his fellow felching partner Barrance Obozo are two of the most evil people to ever hold office anywhere.

Not serious enough for the crime of trespassing? Wow!
This radical Marxist a-hole is Barry’s wingman. Never forget that.

I'm concerned that Holder is still wasting oxygen.

Postmodernists in the 60’s we’re Marxists disillusioned by the barbarism of Stalin.
Never forget that they and their ideological descendants are Stalinists with a facelift.

Wanna know how you know that they can't find a jury to convict any of these people? Plea bargains and lenient sentences.

He's trying to intimidate conservatives from protesting, esp. in the dc area

This is the same racist POS that carries a card in his wallet that reads "Black above all else".
I want to know what the penalty for gun running with the cartels is going to be.
