If he organized the riot, he should have got something, but 22 years is excessive.

Antifa had boots on the ground individuals delivering stacks of bricks for the fun and games of Portland's summer of love and they weren't feds. On the other hand, the FBI had more to do with January 6 than the Proud Boys. Ray Epps was on the ground and ain't getting a day in jail let alone 22 years.Goduckies said:If he organized the riot, he should have got something, but 22 years is excessive.

Show us one antifa who is in jail for 22 years for trying to kill police officers. Show me one antifa who is in prison for trying to burn down the federal building in Portland or trying to fire bomb those federal officers who were there to protect it.HHusky said:

This is Team Dazzler's approach to equal justice. Career violent criminal gets under sentenced for felony murder and we get silence from the dementia patient's AG.

FELONY MURDER IN A GOOD CAUSE: BYRON YORK REVISITS
I sought to draw attention to the Biden Department of Justice’s advocacy of leniency in the case of Montez Lee, the Minnesota citizen sentenced to 10 years in prison for setting a fire that killed a man during the George Floyd riots that devastated Minneapolis. I set forth the underlying facts of the case in “Felony murder in a good cause” (January 18,2022) and several subsequent posts.
Byron York now turns to the case in his column “‘A riot is the language of the unheard'” (Martin Luther King as quoted in the United States Attorney’s sentencing memorandum). Byron concludes with a question posed by Senator Tom Cotton to Attorney General Merrick Garland in the aftermath of the Lee Sentencing: “Does the attorney general believe participation in a riot is a basis for leniency in sentencing individuals for violent crimes?”
Here is the text of Senator Cotton’s February 7, 2022 letter to Garland:
Dear Attorney General Garland:
On May 28, 2020, Montez Lee set fire to a pawn shop in Minneapolis, Minnesota, and murdered a 30-year-old father of five.
In August 2020, the United States Attorney’s Office in Minnesota indicted Lee on one count of Arson and he pleaded guilty on July 22, 2021. The sentencing guidelines called for a sentence of around 20 years. But the U.S. Attorney’s office filed a Sentencing Memorandum asking for half this time. Most shockingly, the U.S. Attorney defended Montez Lee and expressed sympathy for his murderous arson because Lee’s crime was committed during the BLM riots.
Showing leniency towards a career criminal who committed murder is bad enough. But justifying the murder because the career criminal shares the Biden Administration’s politics is beyond the pale.
The American people deserve to know whether leniency for left-wing murderers is the official policy of the Biden Department of Justice, or whether this travesty was a one-off.
Please provide answers to the following questions by February 21, 2022.
1. Does the Attorney General believe participation in a riot is a basis for leniency in sentencing individuals for violent crimes?
2. In the Sentencing Memorandum, the government concludes that Montez Lee “does not appear to pose a danger to the public.” The Sentencing Memorandum stated that Lee, who was 25 when he committed this crime, had been convicted for burglary, domestic violence, and theft. The government also acknowledged that, in his domestic violence case, Montez Lee violently ruptured his girlfriend’s eardrum. Given these convictions, all committed in a truncated period before Lee was even 25 and which put him at Criminal History Level IV (out of VI), please describe how the government concluded that Lee posed no danger to the community.
3. Please provide all communications between the United States Attorney’s Office for Minnesota and any political appointees at the Department of Justice regarding the sentencing recommendation for Montez Lee.
Sincerely,
/s/Tom Cotton
Byron concludes: “It has been a year and a half since Cotton asked that question. Garland has not responded.” -
Why won't I take Tom "Ranger" Cotton's characterization of the facts at face value?WestlinnDuck said:This is Team Dazzler's approach to equal justice. Career violent criminal gets under sentenced for felony murder and we get silence from the dementia patient's AG.

I sought to draw attention to the Biden Department of Justice’s advocacy of leniency in the case of Montez Lee, the Minnesota citizen sentenced to 10 years in prison for setting a fire that killed a man during the George Floyd riots that devastated Minneapolis. I set forth the underlying facts of the case in “Felony murder in a good cause” (January 18,2022) and several subsequent posts.
Byron York now turns to the case in his column “‘A riot is the language of the unheard'” (Martin Luther King as quoted in the United States Attorney’s sentencing memorandum). Byron concludes with a question posed by Senator Tom Cotton to Attorney General Merrick Garland in the aftermath of the Lee Sentencing: “Does the attorney general believe participation in a riot is a basis for leniency in sentencing individuals for violent crimes?”
Here is the text of Senator Cotton’s February 7, 2022 letter to Garland:
Dear Attorney General Garland:
On May 28, 2020, Montez Lee set fire to a pawn shop in Minneapolis, Minnesota, and murdered a 30-year-old father of five.
In August 2020, the United States Attorney’s Office in Minnesota indicted Lee on one count of Arson and he pleaded guilty on July 22, 2021. The sentencing guidelines called for a sentence of around 20 years. But the U.S. Attorney’s office filed a Sentencing Memorandum asking for half this time. Most shockingly, the U.S. Attorney defended Montez Lee and expressed sympathy for his murderous arson because Lee’s crime was committed during the BLM riots.
Showing leniency towards a career criminal who committed murder is bad enough. But justifying the murder because the career criminal shares the Biden Administration’s politics is beyond the pale.
The American people deserve to know whether leniency for left-wing murderers is the official policy of the Biden Department of Justice, or whether this travesty was a one-off.
Please provide answers to the following questions by February 21, 2022.
1. Does the Attorney General believe participation in a riot is a basis for leniency in sentencing individuals for violent crimes?
2. In the Sentencing Memorandum, the government concludes that Montez Lee “does not appear to pose a danger to the public.” The Sentencing Memorandum stated that Lee, who was 25 when he committed this crime, had been convicted for burglary, domestic violence, and theft. The government also acknowledged that, in his domestic violence case, Montez Lee violently ruptured his girlfriend’s eardrum. Given these convictions, all committed in a truncated period before Lee was even 25 and which put him at Criminal History Level IV (out of VI), please describe how the government concluded that Lee posed no danger to the community.
3. Please provide all communications between the United States Attorney’s Office for Minnesota and any political appointees at the Department of Justice regarding the sentencing recommendation for Montez Lee.
Sincerely,
/s/Tom Cotton
Byron concludes: “It has been a year and a half since Cotton asked that question. Garland has not responded.”
You girls love to "ask honest questions" while reciting half-truths and outright lies. I don't trust Ranger Tom as far as I can throw him.
