I searched the punishment for the first charge she was convicted of, disorderly conduct in a Capitol building. This is from the top search result…

The penalty for violating 40 U.S.C. §5104(e)(1) is a felony conviction punishable by a fine or up to five years in prison, or both.

My hope for every one of these traitors is the most severe punishment allowable by US Law but unfortunately they always get off light.

In most cases this is probably all they can prove. I kinda prefer fines to prison though. Most aren't dangerous (just easily misled) and it costs us a lot of money to lock them up. The ringleaders better get prison time, but the rest can just pay through the nose.

For most things I would agree with you but for these traitors I say lock them up and forget about them. Every single person who gained unauthorized access to the Capitol building that day should at least get years in prison. Even the ones that turn snitch.

Also, people who are easily misled are the most dangerous people there are.

Because we insist on a lifetime of punishment, a felony conviction just follows you around forever and really messes up trying to be a normal person.

I think not being a normal person in the first place would be more of a hindrance than any thing else and normal people don’t storm the US Capitol Building.
