Capitol riot defendant sentenced to 14 months for Parler threat: ‘Lets hunt these cowards down’

A Texas man who urged Capitol rioters to ‘go hunting’ for Democrats, tech executives and others received the harshest punishment yet relating to the January 6 insurrection – despite the fact he did not actually travel there himself.

Troy Smocks, a Black man from Dallas, was sentenced on Thursday to 14 months in prison for posting threatening social media messages during the riots from his Washington DC hotel room.

He pleaded guilty in September to transmitting interstate threats and will get credit for the nine months he spent in jail following his January arrest. His sentence is the longest term to date stemming from the investigation into the riots.

District Judge Tanya Chutkan said: ‘Mr Smocks, from the safety of his hotel room, had the nerve to call people trying to defend the Capitol that day “cowards”. He had the audacity to call the rioters “patriots.”‘

‘Lets hunt these cowards down like the Traitors that each of them are. This includes RINOS, 1 Dems, and Tech Execs. We now have the green light. [All] who resist US are enemies of Our Constitution, and must be treated as such,’ Smocks wrote. ‘Today, the cowards ran as We took the Capital. They have it back now, only because We left. It wasn’t the building that We wanted . . . it was them!’

Smocks has a lengthy criminal history, with 18 prior convictions beginning from when he was 17, though the vast majority of his crimes occurred more than 20 years ago. Several of the convictions were for pretending to be a federal agent or law enforcement officer. Smocks also has a history of violating his probation and supervised release.

During the hearing on Thursday, Chutkan decided not to factor in a 2003 forgery into Smocks’ sentencing, which would have upped his sentencing guidelines to 10-16 months.

Scott Fairlamb gets longest sentence yet in Trump Capitol riot cases, and feds are seeking even more time for QAnon shaman Chansley

Fairlamb’s sentence is the longest prison term to date for any of the hundreds of people criminally charged in connection with the riot, which disrupted the confirmation by Congress of the Electoral College victory of President Joe Biden and left five people dead.

But federal prosecutors on Tuesday night said that they want an even longer prison term — 51 months — for the most notorious face of the Jan. 6 riot, so-called QAnon shaman Jacob Chansley.

The tattooed Chansley, who pleaded guilty in September to obstructing a proceeding of Congress, wore face paint, fur hat and toted a spear when he strolled through the Senate chamber and other areas of the Capitol complex.

“His actions struck at the roots of our democracy,” prosecutors wrote in their sentencing memorandum.

Chansley is scheduled to be sentenced Nov. 17 in U.S. District Court in Washington by the same judge, Royce Lamberth, who sentenced Fairlamb, a 44-year-old former gym owner who lives in Stockholm, New Jersey.

​

Fairlamb’s brother, Preston Fairlamb, is a U.S. Secret Service agent who previously was assigned to protect Michelle Obama, the former first lady. Michelle Obama reportedly attended the 2012 memorial service for the father of the Fairlamb brothers.

Lamberth rejected a request by Fairlamb’s lawyer to sentence him to just 11 months in jail, a term well below one of 41 to 51 months recommended by federal sentencing guidelines. Prosecutors had asked for a sentence of 44 months.

“It’s such a serious crime that I can’t give a below-guideline” sentence,” Lamberth said, according to NBC 4 in Washington.

The longest prior term for a Capitol riot defendant, Florida crane operate Paul Hodgkins, was eight months. Hodgkins was the first person convicted of a felony related to the invasion to be sentenced.

An online fundraising campaign set up by Fairlamb and his wife Andrea as of Wednesday has raised more than $31,000 toward a goal of $100,000.
