=========
She's locked up now - great news. Now learn something Ms Williams and lose the arrogant and entitled behavior.
In agreeing with the Justice Departments request that Williams be immediately locked up, Judge Amy Berman Jackson heavily reprimanded Williams and her actions on January 6.
She was profane, she was obnoxious and she was threatening, Jackson said of Williams.
This is a person who was packed and ready to flee once before, the judge added, saying that Williams father had offered her places to hide in the wake of the Capitol attack.
Prosecutors say they are still determining whether to retry the case against Williams on the charges of obstruction and aiding and abetting in the laptop theft.
Williams will be sentenced on February 22 and, according to prosecutors, could face two to three years in prison, according to sentencing guidelines.

CNN reported she could get only a max of 2-3 years, so the longer she sits in jail the better.

Maybe it would be more accurate to have said she "mostly" escaped justice.

It's a MAX of 2-3 years which means she'll be out in less than 2. For what she did and what she

Sure it does. It's a perfect example of the way our "justice" system works.

That's better -- I don't know what CNN was talking about in their article then. Glad I was wrong.

Brilliant Statement, "She isn't a good person." Totally True. She will learn something in prison.
