Federal courts for alabama redistricting could have huge implications for the control of congress, went all in starts, right now. Good evening from new york. Im chris hayes this evening. One of the leaders of the farright gang the proud boys a guy by the name of Enrique Tarrio, received the longest and harshest sentence to date for attempting to end american democracy and the rule of law. 22 years in federal prison. Tarrio was convicted of Seditious Conspiracy for his role in the insurrection. That sentence, which we got just a few hours ago, is the most severe sentence of the more than 1100 people charged in connection with a january 6th attacks. In court today the proud boys leader says that january six was a, quote, national embarrassment, for the judge was not moved, saying, quote, i dont have any indication hes remorseful for the things hes convicted of. The judge went on to say that tarrio was, quote, the ultimate leader, the ultimate person who hogue organized, who was motivated by revolutionary zeal. That conspiracy ended up with about 200 men amped up for a battle in circling the capitol. One tarrios previous statement regarding Dominic Pezzola to George Washington the judge said, quote, it slanders the father of our country to speak that way. Federal prosecutors wanted over three decades in prison for Enrique Tarrio. They wanted 33 years. Instead he will now face the next two decades behind bars. He is the last of the proud boys convicted of Seditious Conspiracy to be that sentenced. Last week three other proud boys were found guilty of Seditious Conspiracy were received 15 to 18 years sentences. Something to note here, tarrio wasnt even at the capitol on january 6th. In fact he was in the hotel room in baltimore. He was arrested two days before january six on charges that had nothing to do with the insurrection. Prosecutors said tarrio new ahead of time he was going to be arrested through a contact at the washington d. C. Police force, which is interesting. And he, quote, strategically calculated his arrest as a means to inspire early by his followers. As the prosecutors pointed out, the fact that he spent most of jerry six at a hotel, quote, theres nothing to distract from the severity of his conduct, because he was a general rather than a soldier. In fact, the jarry six committee, in its investigation, devoted a good amount of time in the hearings detailing the role of the proud boys and trying to topple the rightful government through mob violence and intimidation. What do you want to call them . Give me a name. White supremacists . The proud boys, stand back, and stand by. After he made this comment, Enrique Tarrio, then chairman of the proud boys, said on parlor, standing by, sir. Then we learned this common during the president ial debate actually led to an increase in membership for the proud boys. When you see the proud boys members increased after these standup standby clement . Exponentially. Id say tripled, probably. With the potential for a lot more, eventually . Did you sell any stand back and stand by merchandise . One of the vendors on my page beat me to it. But i wish i would have. I wish i wouldve made a stand back stand by shirt. Under san bernardino, trump tweeted about the january 6th rally. He said be, there itll be wild. Many witnesses came to d. C. For january six, but the extremists took it a step further. They view this tweet is a call to arms. Select Committee Member of Congress Jerry raskin said how a leader of the oath keepers declared an alliance with the proud boys just hours after trumps tweet understand 19th, 2020. Phone records obtained by the select Committee Show that later that afternoon, mr. Joe biggs khan plow boys leader Enrique Tarrio and they spoke for several minutes. The very next day the proud boys got to work. The proud boys launched encrypted chat called the ministry of selfdefense. The committee obtained hundreds of these messages, which show strategic and Tactical Planning about january 6th, including maps of washington d. C. That pinpoint the location of police. In the weeks leading up to the attack, leaders and both the proud boys and the oath keepers worked with trump allies. Donald trump is slated to head to trial in march for his role in the attempted coup. Tarrio, 39 years, old will spend the next 22 years behind bars for trying to carry out a conspiracy to steal the election, overthrow the government, and keep trump in power. Attorney general Merrick Garland released a statement saying, quote, the leader of the proud boys, Enrique Tarrio, one of the consequences of conspiring to oppose by force the lawful transfer of president ial power is 22 years in federal prison. Tom jacqueline is a reporter for the Washington Post. Hes at the courthouse for the sentencing and he joins me now. Tom, take us inside today. I was getting dispatches from some of the reporters in the media room from the reporters watching the proceedings. It seemed like the judge had a lot to say. It was four hours. It made up in the new World Records for one of the longest sentencings in these cases. A judge did have a lot to say. A lot of talking went on, not by him, so here is his chance to say i dont think this guy feel sorry about what he did. As you mentioned earlier, did tarrio stand up and say i apologize to Law Enforcement. I apologize to the people of washington d. C. , the people of Law Enforcement are heroes. And the people of washington didnt deserve to have their city turned upside down. And after he was done in the judge said, i think were talking past each other. I dont think ive heard any remorse from this guy. He is not addressing the whole Seditious Conspiracy thing, which he didnt. Thats striking and we had the news last week of Dominic Pezzola who said he was sorry, that it was a mistake, i think even he might have shed a tear or two. He cried a lot. He cried a lot, and once it was done, after he had his ten year sentence he yelled, trump won. We also have joseph biggs, on info wars. We want to play him to, because it gives you a sense of the preamble to this judge deciding to take their time. This is joseph bags on Info Wars Saturday Calling for a pardon. I know your pardon. I believe that with all my heart. The thing is, its hopefully getting him, for him to be able to get in a position where he can at least be, i think, on the ballot to run. You have one minute remaining. But i do believe that Donald J Trump will pardon us. And he should. We dont do anything. Were his supporters. We went there like he asked. We dont do anything. I wonder, i mean you cant read the mind, but that was an interesting context, given what the judge decided to do today. Did you hear that recording that said you have one minute remaining . Thats the recording you get when someone calls collect from jail. You only have one minute left for that interview. These people have been waiting for trump to save them for a long time, and they may be waiting a lot longer, but thats definitely their last best hope. But in the meantime, theyre gonna be spending time in prison. Biggs got 17 years. He was on the front lines that day, with a bull horn, directing people through the police into the capitol. Tom jackman who was there at the sentencing today, thank you very much. Youre very welcome. Danya perry is a former prosecutor of the Southern District of new york where she served and deputy chief of the criminal division. A scott bolden, former prosecutor and now whitecollar defense attorney. Let me stay on this theme with you, danya. It was such a striking moment last week when pezzola says im so sorry and then says trump won. Tarrio didnt even really seem to try to perform remorse. Law enforcement are heroes, the city of d. C. That may have deserve to have their city chewed up like this. It was a national embarrassment. All those could be true and say nothing about i was trying to attempt in the peaceful transfer of power. And it does seem like that may have played a role in the sentencing. Theres always a needle to thread and a Fountain Thing for a defendant who has been convicted at trial by a jury. They dont want to admit too much because they are banking on appeal, or perhaps the pardon. [laughter] they can say whatever they want if they want a pardon. And he probably chose wrong and thats what hes going for. So they have to choose their words relatively carefully. But i think in this case the judge saw right through it. In fact, the prosecution anticipated that he would give the appearance of remorse without actually being remorseful. They pointed to precedent where he expressed regret but wasnt truly and then went back at it with the same thing. So i think they drew the staying unanticipated that. And the judge had none of it. It was very clear. Even though this is the longest sentence and 22 years, which is the record now, its still 11 years below what the government was asking for. They had asked for this terrorism enhanced mint, basically, in the sentencing, and judge kelly, who had previous requests for a Terrorism Enhancement, says he doesnt think this was the same to the terrorism, or it doesnt fit what that enhanced means should cover. He basically did that again today. These are very stiff sentences. But im curious about your reaction to that. He has been playing it down the line. The terrorism enhanced mint, i thought he gave tarrio to 22 years, to get the enhancement, he has enhanced its time in some other prior cases but heres the deal. This was the general of the proud boys. I love the but for a test. But for the proud boys in the oath keepers the violence and the deaths that took place on january six and the attack on democracy and the attempt to get to elected officials to stop the transfer of power, none of this wouldve happened without the planning and execution of the proud boys and maybe the oath keepers. They didnt matter that tarrio wasnt there, he was the mastermind behind, and all of Those Thousands Of Migrant Followers that attacked the capital, remember, they went in after the proud boys and after the oath keepers and i think the judge had that in mind, and the judge said im not convinced, especially if you try to compare yourself to George Washington. They really believe they were in a revolutionary time in there are gonna change democracy like this. It made no sense. It was bordered on the nonsensical, and now theyre serving time for it. The point is an important one, because you have two people, stewart rhodes, head of the oath keepers, also convicted of Seditious Conspiracy, doing 6 to 17 years i think with the sentence. He also did never breach the capitol. In tarrios case he wasnt even in washington d. C. , he had been picked up on a gun charge. Obviously donald trump is not facing Seditious Conspiracy charges from jack smith. But theres something to the idea that you are legally culpable and can be legally culpable for the violence operationally without ever actually going into the capitol. Thats now quite well established in these two cases. Absolutely. It proves the point. You see it all the time in your everyday case. And we certainly see it here. And judges are required to have some kind of proportionality to sentencing. If you could map them out on a graph you would have the leaders getting more time. He was almost no way the judge was going to ever issue a sentence of 33 years. It was going to be at least as much as the other leaders, the oath keepers, as you say, but it wasnt going to be anywhere near that. That would be disproportionate and disappointed. Here you can anticipate if the former president is convicted, yes the charges are different, yes the terrorism enhanced but might not apply, but a judge will take it very seriously, just like the other guest just said, this is a but for situation. As many people have said. And as the prosecutor said. The former president lit the flame. These guys with the gasoline. That likely will, if there is when this trial happens, well see what the appeals look like, but at some point the judge will factor all of these other sentences into consideration. To the point that tom jackman was making earlier from the Washington Post about judge kelly taking his time and saying his piece, this is his trial and he has had multiple people who have come before him for sentencing. But it is always interesting, scott, when a judge, who is the impartial arbiter, converts into essayist, polemicists, whatever they are, in the Sentencing Phase where they get to vent how they actually feel about this entire thing the wind down in front of them. They are the fact finder and they draw conclusions of law. They listened to all the evidence, and then theyre gonna give you their take. One of the important things about the sentencing, whether he gave the Terrorism Enhancement or not, federal judges and state judges can take everything into account, whether a prior bad act, whether prior statements. He puts it all in the mix and says im going to sentence you to 22 years, and here is why. Hes going to make a record just in case theres an appeal, and thats important for the prosecution and defense. I think he did a nice job. He couldve given a more, especially because it was an attack on democracy, but again, being consistent with prior sentencing, very important to the future defendants in that courthouse. It does seem to me, having covered both of these trials for two different federal judges, that by and large these were severe but reasonable penalties that were handed down by judges in these cases. Yeah. The prosecution asked for a lot more, for 33 years, they got 22. Thats not unusual at all. Sometimes they go for the moon shot and take what they get. Here the defense wasnt asking, i think theyre asking for 15 or last. So i think they had a sense of where this particular defendant would fall out. The judge really kind of hit it exactly where the other ones shook out. We find ourselves with the two top tier violent groups that are organized and fomented the violence, a but for lincoln the classical chain, as scott said, having been tried by a jury of their peers, found guilty, sentenced, there are some other outstanding work to be done in terms of people a level above them, danya perry, a. Scott bolden, thank you both. Coming up, charged with trade over through the 2020 election right alongside donald trump.

One by one, all 19 defendants indicted in georgia over the attempt to steal the 2020 election have now entered pleas of not guilty, waiving the right to an arraignment in court ahead of tomorrows deadline. One theme that has emerged since the sweeping indictment came in is the likelihood that not all 19 defendants will face trial. Thats because some of them are likely to plead guilty in exchange for cooperating with prosecution. That would make sense for a lot of these people, people who dont have the resources or the fame of donald trump to shield them from what might be coming, a possible conviction and prison time. Were already seeing multiple defendants creating a narrative that their efforts to overturn the election were at Donald Trumps request, acording to a politico report today. Take mark meadows. In last weeks attempt to move his case into Federal Court, Georgia Secretary Of StateBrad Raffensperger testified about that infamous phone call where trump pressured him to find 11,780 votes. The lawyer for meadows said to raffensperger, quote, there was a lot of statements by mr. Trump. But mr. Meadows speaking roles were quite limited. The lawyer continued, he didnt make any requests that you change vote totals, mr. Meadows himself . To Which Raffensperger replied, correct. In other words, like i didnt do it. He was just there playing trump. We dont know whether the judge will agree to move the meadows case to Federal Court, police three other defendants, the fake electors charged in the rico indictments are making the same request for removal. Tomorrow a judge will hold a hearing on the request by Kenneth Chesebro and Sidney Powell to sever each of their cases from all the other defendants and then today chesebro made a further filing to dismiss all the charges against him, arguing his
