No surprises here... ‘DOUBLE STANDARD’ IN J6 SENTENCES JUDGE SAYS KAVANAUGH, BLM RIOTERS TREATED BETTER U.S. District Judge Trevor N. McFadden accuses the government of having a double standard when it came to punishing mass protests. He criticized U.S. prosecutors for seeking serious jail time for some nonviolent Donald Trump supporters in the Jan. 6 Capitol breach, while demonstrators during the hearings for Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh got off more lightly, reports the Washington Post. McFadden spoke out in sentencing a Capitol riot defendant who pleaded guilty to misdemeanor trespassing, arguing that the same prosecutors requesting a sentence of 75 days in jail and one year probation in that case had in 2019 sought 10 days behind bars for a protester during the Kavanaugh hearings. McFadden also complained last fall that prosecutors were treating pro-Trump rioters more harshly than those who committed violence in D.C. in 2020, after the killing of George Floyd.
