Disgraceful: Leftist Fire Bombers Get Almost 97% Sentence Cut Under Biden Admin

• The Western Journal

Reuters reported that Rahman "threw a gasoline-filled bottle" into the police car and "fled in a minivan driven by Mattis."

Upon their arrest, police officers "found a lighter, a Bud Light beer bottle filled with toilet paper and a gasoline tank" in Mattis' car, according to WNBC. "Prosecutors allege the lawyers planned to distribute and throw other Molotov cocktails."

The WNBC piece noted that at the time of their arrests, "While other lawyers condemned their conduct, some objected to the severity of the charges, arguing that the case was improperly being handled as if it were an act of domestic terrorism. When the U.S. attorney in Brooklyn asked that the lawyers be detained without bail, 56 former federal prosecutors sent a legal brief to the court criticizing the government's handling of the case."

Perhaps the effectiveness of this action served as the impetus for 51 former U.S. intelligence officials who, several months later, signed an op-ed stating their belief that the Hunter Biden laptop was disinformation, arguably swaying the presidential election.

At any rate, the pair faced domestic terrorism charges, which could have sent them to prison for decades.

In commentary on the pair's plea deal, George Washington University School of Law professor Jonathan Turley pointed out: "Prosecutors presented evidence that the two attorneys were trying to distribute Molotov cocktails and suggested that Mattis did not appear rational."
