Maricopa County Supervisors Chairman Clint Hickman held it together in a federal courtroom in Phoenix on Monday until it was about his family.

U.S. District Judge Dominic W. Lanza on Monday sentenced Rissi, 65, to two-and-a-half years in prison and three years of probation after Rissi pleaded guilty to two counts of making interstate threats. Lanza called the threats an “extremely serious offense,” and said these kinds of threats reverberate through the election system as a whole.

On Monday, Rissi told the judge he was remorseful, saying that he was misled by misinformation about elections. But the judge said upon sentencing him that when the FBI interviewed him in June 2022, while he backed off his statements, he still wished violent harm on election officials.

Rissi clarified to the FBI that he “didn’t want anyone to be lynched or hanged illegally, but a lot of people still need to be hanged,” Lanza said, prompting audible gasps in the courtroom.
