Commission data show that the D.C. court’s sentences for Jan. 6 defendants who assaulted police is below the national average.

Since Jan. 6 cases began, the average sentence imposed by D.C. federal judges in the Capitol attack under guidelines for serious assaults climbed to 46 months from 41 months but is still below the nationwide average of 51 months in 2022.

As of last month

Even directly assaulting cops got these fuckers below average sentences, let alone the literal act of trying to overthrow democracy.
