Judge Slammed by Capitol Riot Offender; said This Judge is the Biggest Trump Mistake; Same Judge Throws him in Jail for 12 years for Attack

An electrician from New Jersey attacked police officers many times during the siege at the U.S. Capitol on January 6, 2021. On Friday, he was given 12 years in jail by a judge who called him “a menace to our society.”

Before and after U.S. District Judge Trevor McFadden gave Christopher Joseph Quaglin one of the longest prison terms out of hundreds of Capitol riot cases, he argued with and insulted the judge.

Quaglin told McFadden, who was appointed to the court by Trump in 2017, “You’re Trump’s worst mistake of 2016.”

Quaglin, who is 38 years old, joined the hoard of Trump fans who broke into the Capitol. A cop was hurt when he choked and tackled him to the ground. Police shields, metal bike racks, and pepper spray that Quaglin stole were used against other cops. He got into a fight with cops for about three hours while wearing a sweatshirt that said “Make America Great Again” on it.

While he was rambling in court, Quaglin complained about how bad his jail conditions were and pushed plot theories about the Jan. 6 siege. He didn’t agree with calling the attack on January 6 an uprising either.

Before giving his sentence, the judge told Quaglin that his angry comments were a “really bad idea” and cut him off after a few minutes.

Judges were asked to give Quaglin a 14-year prison term. He was reportedly one of the most violent protesters on January 6, when a group of people supporting Donald Trump stopped the joint session of Congress from certifying Vice President Joe Biden’s 2020 election win.

According to the judge, Quaglin was found guilty of six different assaults on police. The prosecutors say he hit or pushed twelve more police officers.

Quaglin was found guilty of 14 counts by McFadden in July of last year after a “stipulated bench trial.” This means that the judge made the decision without a jury and based on facts that both sides agreed upon before the trial. These kinds of cases let defendants keep their appeal rights, which are lost when they plead guilty.

On January 6, Quaglin left his home in North Brunswick, New Jersey, to go to President Trump’s “Stop the Steal” gathering near the White House. Going to the Capitol wearing a helmet, a gas mask, and a backpack, Quaglin taped a video of himself as he marched there early.
