Capitol rioter gets prison as feds reach 100 sentencings

Associated Press  

A Seattle man who punched two police officers during last year’s riot at the U.S. Capitol was sentenced to six months imprisonment on Thursday, as the Justice Department reached a milestone in one of the largest federal investigations in American history. The judge who sentenced Leffingwell pushed back on a recent Republican National Committee resolution that accused the congressional committee investigating the Jan. 6 attack of leading a “persecution of ordinary citizens engaged in legitimate political discourse.” U.S. District Judge Amy Berman Jackson also lamented that mainstream news outlets are still amplifying the lie that the 2020 presidential election was illegitimate and stolen from former President Donald Trump. “Looking back on it, it was like a nightmare.” Jackson also sentenced Leffingwell to two years of supervised release and ordered him to perform 200 hours of community service. As he stood at the front of the crowd of rioters, Leffingwell chanted “Stop the steal!” and yelled “Shame!” and “Join us!” at a line of police officers near the entrance, prosecutors said.
