1/6 Insurrection Investigation

Jan. 6 rioter who invaded Nancy Pelosi’s office denied summer respite and cushy prison camp recommendation



A Jan. 6th rioter seen gleefully kicking his foot up on a desk inside of then-Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s office had wanted the rest of the summer to “arrange for his affairs” before reporting to prison. That man, Richard “Bigo” Barnett, also wanted a federal judge to recommend a low-security camp for him to serve his 4 1/2-year prison sentence.

On Tuesday, a federal judge refused to make those recommendations, leaving Barnett’s fate in the hands of the Bureau of Prisons (BOP).

“Defendant has had ample time since his conviction to prepare for his incarceration and presents no compelling reasons to justify additional delay,” U.S. District Judge Christopher R. Cooper wrote in a brief minute order. “Defendant’s request for a recommendation for a BOP placement beyond 500 miles from his home in order to qualify him for a minimum-security facility is also DENIED. Determinations regarding security-level placements lie in the sound discretion of BOP based on its internal criteria. The Court generally plays no role in those determinations.”

Barnett had requested a surrender date of Aug. 22, 2023, claiming it’s “not uncommon” to have a 90-day window between sentencing and prison. His attorney claimed that his client’s life circumstances warranted a summer recess.

“Specifically, Mr. Barnett’s significant other is disabled and he will need to liquidate personal property and try to earn some extra income to help her before he leaves,” his attorney Jonathan S. Gross wrote in a motion. “Additionally, he needs to do repairs to her home to make sure everything is in working order and other miscellaneous projects that will be unduly burdensome on her as she is not in a financial position to hire someone to do these projects.”

According to the motion, the Bureau of Prisons doesn’t typically support a prison recommendation that’s more than 500 miles away from the defendant’s residence. Barnett is from Gravette, Arkansas, a city of a little more than 3,500 people. Court papers do not disclose what prisons are being considered for Barnett’s term.

When photographed inside Pelosi’s office, Barnett smiled ear to ear with a stun gun in his pants and a foot kicked up on a desk. He left a note on the desk sneering: “Bigo was here b—-.” He then swiped an envelope from the office and claimed it as a prize in an interview outside of the building.

Barnett’s attorneys called his offense a nonviolent one and argued that he was being harshly punished because his case was “famous.” But Judge Cooper said that Barnett enjoyed the “notoriety.” A federal jury convicted him of obstructing an official proceeding, interfering with a police officer during a civil disorder, entering and remaining in a restricted building or grounds with a dangerous or deadly weapon, and disorderly and disruptive conduct in a restricted building or grounds with a dangerous weapon.

The dangerous weapon was a 950,000-volt stun gun and walking stick, with the brand name “Hike ‘n Strike.”

Another month passes and still no answers for the parents of the children killed in Nashville.  The FBI continues to illegally suppress the leftist manifesto.  They are being sued by the school that was victimized.  Disgraceful.  The FBI has also refused to provide a document alleging corruption by Old Joe while VP.  This despite a subpoena from Congress to make the document available.  They also continue to sit on the Hunter laptop.  Nearly a decade now.  How about they either confirm that there is no crime or prosecute Hunter?  Why sit on this?  Are they waiting until after the 2024 election as they did in 2020 with the fake Russian disinformation story?  Where are the prosecutions for the IRS officials who pulled the whistleblowers off the Hunter tax investigation when they reported that they were being stonewalled?  Retaliation against whistleblowers is a crime.  Remember when Dems told us that such whistleblowers were heroes?  I guess that works only one way.

More bogus propaganda, and another off topic post, but Trump insurrectionists are still going to prison and Criminal Donald is on his way.

Defense attorney leaned into argument today that MInuta "harangued but didn't threaten police" & said Minuta was in "fight or flight mode fueled by adrenaline".

Feds recited MInuta's talk of "civil war".

A new month and still no leftist manifesto.  Maybe after the 2024 election we will finally have answers for the parents of the murdered children.

Sentencing today in Jan 6 case of Johnny Harris  of NC.  Feds argue Harris told FBI "that if he had it all to do again, he would do it the same way".

They say he "placed his hand on a police officer’s chest & pushed that officer, while reaching down to retrieve his phone".
