DOJ seeks the longest Capitol riot prison term yet — 17 years for 'eye-gouging' ex-NYPD officer who swung a flagpole at police
DOJ really needs to make an example of this ex-cop, I hope he gets all of those 17 years too?!!
The DOJ wants an ex-police officer to serve 210 months in prison for his January 6 role.
That sentence, for Thomas Webster, would be the longest term yet for a Capitol rioter.
Webster's lawyer argues he was misled by Trump, and has regretted it ever since.
