Trump's blindly loyal supporters who believed his Big Lie of a stolen election and obeyed his command to "march to the Capitol and fight like hell" saw themselves as "patriots." Before sentencing Guy Reffitt, Judge Dabney Friedrich declared, "Under no legitimate definition of the term 'patriot' does Mr. Reffitt's behavior on January 6 fit the term. It is the antithesis of the word." The rioters are "a direct threat to our democracy and will be punished as such."

The Department of Justice has a long-standing policy of not announcing investigations or indictments of major political figures during an election year. This is to avoid the perception of politically motivated investigations and/or election interference. Last month, MSNBC host Rachel Maddow denounced the policy as an excuse for inaction against Trump.

After this blindly loyal Trump supporter completes his prison sentence, he will be under court supervision for three years. He also has to pay $2,000 in restitution. More than 100 rioters – so far – have received prison sentences. I'm sure Trump appreciates their loyalty and their belief in his Big Lie of a rigged, stolen election. Oh, wait. No, he doesn't. The only one Trump cares about is himself.

Last month, the Republican National Committee – which has already paid around $1,750,000 of Trump's legal bills – informed Trump that if he announces he's running for President, they will cease payments.
