| No remorse. Federal judge gives terrorist five years. She will miss several of her children's most important events. |
Rachel Powell, the Pennsylvania woman who used a bullhorn, had an axe, broke windows, threatened Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-CA), instructed insurrectionist into the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021 gets 57 months in federal time out.
The woman asked for it.
She defied a court order to wear a mask when ordered to court and in public.
She continued to post nonsense on social media. She kept saying that the judge will not throw a hard working mother of eight in the lock up.
Oh yes they did.
The U.S. District Attorney saw that Powell had no remorse for her actions. By posting on social media and throwing around white privilege, Powell became a candidate for the "Fuck Around and Find Out" prize.

At my sentencing the judge spoke about how he didn’t mind putting criminals in prison who’ve done bad things like drug trafficking but it didn’t like putting good people in jail and that’s what he’s been doing, putting good people in jail for #J6. He called my family exemplary.

In this DeSantis makes it clear #J6ers are not an important topic. Over a thousand of us suffering. Many held without due process, losing everything. #desantissucks #rhinoalert https://t.co/EqpmIZ6Pm1

@VivekGRamaswamy J6 families are more than just leverage for getting a vote. Our lives matter. All of our lives. This man, #Trump, is the only one running I know of who has actually cared about us. Take tips. Or are we too controversial for you? pic.twitter.com/NSBH71HBGZ

We have spent some evenings bottling wine lately. I’m blessed to be living in a place where someone carries in garlic, onions, corn & herbs to hang dry. I am meant to learn these lessons. Bonus: no traffic! I write this snuggled up beside the wood stove. #homestead #j6 #godisgood pic.twitter.com/VOTECNfavw

My son Nik brought me a hat back signed by #Trump that says “Rachel we love you”.

Should I wear this to sentencing?

Powell was ordered to serve 57 months in prison followed by 36 months on supervised release, CBS affiliate WUSA reported. She asked for three years of probation while the government sought eight years in prison.
A judge convicted Powell, who became known for her bullhorn and pink hat, of all nine counts in her indictment after he heard testimony without a jury in July.
According to the indictment, Powell stormed into a restricted section of the U.S. Capitol carrying an ax and a large wooden pole. She allegedly destroyed a window in her path, costing more than $1,000 in damage.
Court paperwork says Powell was with a group inside the Capitol and provided detailed instructions on the building's layout, telling rioters that they should "coordinate together if you are going to take this building."
Federal prosecutors have called Powell a "leading participant in the most violent insurrection to occur at the U.S. Capitol in over 200 years," and said she "fueled a situation that threatened the peaceful transfer of power in the United States."
When the feds raided her home in Sandy Lake, they said they also found bags loaded with duct tape, rope cell phones, throwing stars and other weapons.
Powell asked U.S. District Judge Royce C. Lamberth for mercy, saying she succumbed to the "toxic" partisan divide in the country. Lamberth said she had done "everything right today" but it didn't change what happened on Jan. 6 or her lack of remorse since, WUSA reported.
