re: intent to subvert.

In the trial, it came out that he went to DC with the specific intent of disrupting the counting of the electoral college voting. He didn't go there to stand around outside and protest - which is generally a protected first amendment right. He went there to get inside the building and make them stop.

I don't know if that's a separate crime, but it sure seems to be covered by the obstruction charge. And it affects the sentencing, as does his lack of remorse for his crimes.

This dummy was another instigator of the insurrection. He deserves every second he spends in prison. He wasn't in on the planning, but he made it his mission to obstruct the proceeding.
