'Whoops' indeed: US Capitol riot defendants facing jail have all the excuses


FBI says it warned law enforcement of threat of the Capitol riot, planned in part on publicly available social media.

As defendants charged in the Capitol siege have been coming through court, some have been shifting blame onto former President Donald Trump, downplaying their actions or expressing remorse. But federal judges, particularly those who work a few blocks from the Capitol, aren t buying it.

“Essentially, that’s what your argument is, saying, ‘Whoops,’ now?” Ms Howell asked. “Has he expressed any remorse or rejection of his membership in the Proud Boys, a gang of nationalist individuals? Does he reject the fantasy the election was stolen? Does he regret the positions that animated the mob on January sixth? Is there anything on the record about any of those things?” ....
