FEDERAL COURT,
August 4 --
Nearly
five months after the January 6 events
in Washington, on June
14 DDC Judge
Thomas
F. Hogan held
a guilty
plea proceeding
for two
defendants,
and said he'd
sentence them in
four to six
weeks. Inner
City Press
live tweeted
it, thread here.
Now on
August 4, this was
Judge Hogan at
sentencing, also
live tweeted
by Inner City
Press, here
(and podcast here)
Judge
Hogan: They
were there at
an
anti-vaccine
protest, in a
different
place. They
came on later
to the
Capitol. They
came to the
riot, and it
was a riot.
People died.
Yesterday
another
Capitol Police
officer
committed
suicide.
Judge
Hogan: This
case is
unique,
though. They
went in after
the riot had
begun... No
prior criminal
record, a
mechanic, then
into real
estate
business which
he has lost as
a result of
this charge.
Now they have
notoriety.
There's
separation
from family.
Judge
Hogan: Mr.
Bustle has
worked all his
life, since a
teenager. Ms.
Bustle was
employed. But
as to the
nature of the
sentence, this
is a
misdemeanor, a
Class B. The
maximum
sentence is
six months
Judge
Hogan: The
nature of the
attack was
unique in the
history of
this country.
The last time
was the War of
1812, British
burned it. In
this case, a
group of
individuals
misled by
false claims
of a
fraudulent
election tried
to take the
law into their
own hands
Judge Hogan:
Some have
suggested
there should
be a matrix on
how to
sentence these
cases.
Voice: The
judge's feed
has frozen.
Judge
Hogan [he's
back] .. there
were signs of
damage in the
area. Windows
were
smashed...
Individuals
have to be
treated
individually.
In this case,
a probationary
sentence
should not
become the
default. I
considered
giving time,
but this is
not the case.
Judge
Hogan: I am
going to
sentence Mr.
Bustle...
Joshua Bustle
is sentenced
to 24 months
probation, 30
days home
confinement.
40 hours
community
service.
Judge
Hogan: Home
confinement
means you can
only go out
for work,
religious
services and
the
like.
Tim Anderson
for Mr.
Bustle: Mr.
Bustle and his
wife are
moving to
South
Carolina, the
movers are
coming August
14. So we ask
for a delay in
home
confinement.
Judge
Hogan: Now Ms.
Bustle. I
think you
should be
entitled to
probation,
despite your
posts on
social media.
You having to
move is
substantial
punishment. I
believe you
have remorse.
I considered
putting you in
jail, because
your
statements
concern the
court.
Judge
Hogan: Your
statements
about patriots
are so
misguided.
Patriots do
not attack
operations of
Congress and
attempt to
stop them. I
sentence you
to two years
probation,
home
confinement of
60 days, your
actions were
more serious
than your
husband's.
Judge Hogan:
Restitution to
the Department
of Treasury of
$500, $200 a
month until
paid. Also
community
service, same
length as your
husband's. I'm
not going to
lecture you on
your vaccine
status...
