And Another one bites the Dust.....Gary Edwards



https://meaww.com/who-is-gary-edwards-bucks-county-pennsylvania-arrested-capitol-riot-wife-brag-facebook

CHURCHVILLE, PENNSYLVANIA: Months after the violent January 6 insurrection at the US Capitol, those involved continue to be rounded up and arrested. The latest to be arrested is Gary Edwards, a 68-year-old from Churchville, Pennsylvania. Unlike other insurrectionists, Edwards' arrest isn't due to his pride, but rather his wife's.

The FBI was led to Edwards after they received a tip including screenshots of Facebook posts made by Edward's wife Lynn Feiler Edwards. The supportive spouse took to social media to promote her husband's activities on January 6 in a series of now-deleted posts. Edwards was arrested on May 4 and released the same day "with standard conditions". Here's everything we know about Edwards, and how his wife led the FBI straight to him.

According to the Statement of Facts document, Lynn posted, "Okay ladies let me tell you what happened as my husband was there inside the Capitol Rotunda." She added, "Gary walked around the back of the building and climbed the stairs walking right into the rotunda. He stood there and heard and saw teargas blasts. The police were right next to him as Gary poured water on their eyes. He stayed to chat w the police who were calm."

====================================================================

His wife got him arrested.

None of the simple trespassers are going to do anywhere near that.

That particular group may well all get community service, fine, and probation.

Prepare yourself mentally.

And most will have to do some jail time, and all will have felonies on their records unless it gets plead down.

That at least, is something.

they will just get Lardass back in the Presidency in 2024 and he will blanket pardon every last one of them for their involvement......

and 2022's elections may well lead them to doing just that............

The Republicans will need 2022, and they will be ruthlessly desperate between now and then to regain control of the House and Senate in 2022. Regardless of what they have to do to accomplish it............

13. I think most Confederates got the right to vote restored after signing an oath of allegiance.

I would hope that these folks get enough to have their voting rights revoked. Kind of like the unending probation that Florida uses to disenfranchise folks. "Well, you haven't completed your sentence yet so we can't let you vote." A lifetime of reporting to Suckers Anonymous, should do the trick.

3. No peace, no rest for these traitors. Couldn't protest peacefully and tried interfering w/ Congress

as it was performing its solemn duty of certifying the win for then President-elect Biden.

Even Pence told the idiot djt that he couldn't do anything to stop the certification/refuse to certify, it wouldn't have changed anything.

The moron in the WH still tried overthrowing/stopping Congress...

He must be held accountable. His thugs are being caught right and left (over 400+ so far), and where is the cowardly ringleader?

Apparently stuffing his fat face and still hiding from public view in FL, where he needs to stay, if he's smart. But he'll miss the spotlight too much, will eventually wander out, hopefully state authorities / others will nail his a&& when he does wander out.

I'm still waiting for the shoe to drop on all of those lawsuits/criminal actions that were put on hold while he was 'president'...where are they?

Justice matters.

... starting with pence ("hang mike pence.. hang mike pence"...). That was the plan and it came close to come true, until his thugs couldn't "find" where they were hiding in the Capitol and the mobster-in-chief realized they could not succeed, no matter how long the teevee would keep showing it.

Lock him up along with all his co-conspiRators.
