Reagan-Appointed Judge Condemns Jan 6 Rioter, Trump Pardon Looms
Judge Royce Lamberth sentenced Philip Grillo, a former congressional candidate, to 12 months imprisonment for his participation in the January 6th Capitol attack. Despite Grillo’s claims of a potential presidential pardon and attempts to delay sentencing, Lamberth emphasized the importance of upholding the rule of law and accountability for those who broke the law that day. The judge refuted misinformation surrounding the Jan. 6th prosecutions, stating that no one was prosecuted for protected speech, only for illegal actions. Lamberth’s sentencing underscored the judiciary’s commitment to justice, independent of political influence.
