Ex-Trump appointee arrested in Capitol riot complains he won't be able to sleep in jail

Federico Guillermo Klein, a former State Department staff assistant who was arrested Thursday for his role in the Jan. 6 Capitol insurrection, has reportedly complained that he won't be able to sleep in prison.

Klein appeared for his first virtual court hearing Friday before U.S. Magistrate Zia M. Faruqui in Washington, D.C., where he was informed that prosecutors would be looking to put him in jail following next week's hearing, The Washington Post reports.

In response to the news, Klein, who held a top-secret clearance until he resigned the day before President Biden's inauguration, requested that he receive better sleeping conditions.

"I wonder if there’s a place where I can stay in detention where I don’t have cockroaches crawling over me while I attempt to sleep. ... I mean, I really haven’t slept all that much, your honor," Klein said at the end of the hearing, according to the Post.

He added, "It would be nice if I could sleep in a place where there were not cockroaches everywhere."

Insurrection. What garbage. Lies.

Is anybody even charged with insurrection?

Trespassing. Or some bogus charge only applying to Congress.

You are a cockroach

Idiot

And I personally know two people who crossed the line

I like them a lot but, they made a stupid decision and we are paying for their idiocy.

In America the presumption of innocence was a sacred right built into the Constitution, and no punishment could be rendered until a jury of peers voted in majority. In Weimerica punishment begins upon angering a member of the elite.

If he had only broken out a few windows and set something on fire in Portland, none of this would be happening.

There was an insurrection. It successfully installed the present Derp State/Red China-controlled regime.

Not even he (someone rather low on the GOP Totem Pole) can find a good lawyer?
**So, it’s not just an urban legend. There are jail cells literally crawling with roaches! Ugh!
I have never been jailed thus far in my 64 years of this incarnation.

Yep. Breaking into the capitol while they are holding the final EC vote was not the wisest thing to do. What were people thinking they would accomplish?

That said, this no-leniency situation is absurd, especially given the nine months of brazen lawlessness all over the country and the fact that all the violent antifas that ruined DC during Trump’s inauguration had all of their charges dropped.

Well, the two gals have been given some leniency in the charges as they are misdemeanors currently

I suspect most of these cases will be dropped or reduced to something even more benign but, now I won’t talk to them.

Insurrection... these idiots. It was a protest and nothing more.

The Trump people were escorted in as far as I can see. It was the antifa people that broke in.

It was clearly Antifa communists that broke into the Capitol in order to steal sensitive information while blaming it on Trump supporters.

We have become a nation of brain-dead sheep.

This extensive demonization by the FBI and the Dems and RINO’s is to make Joe Public think Trump and the MAGA’s are criminals. This is to curb behavior and to make the global elites weaponize this as a reason to cancel or arrest us.

Going in wasn’t smart, but it was planned and orchestrated.

One video stood out to me. It showed an unmasked Capital cop taking a swing at someone across a low barricade.

Next, ALL the cops (12?) turned and ran up the hill. They were followed (on the run) by a narrow wave of the mob--all dressed in black, masked, and carrying backpacks. A red and black flag is being carried: ALL the violent hallmarks of Antifa!

Notice the use of the word “insurrection” by Sarah Polus. That, in and of itself, tells you of the bias of this supposed “The Hill” writer.

A clear example of liberal bias in a supposedly non-partisan publication. NOT!!

#7. Hey Lee. Re “I have never been jailed thus far in my 64 years of this incarnation”.

Well, just wait a while. Under the new Fascista-Marxist regime of addle-brain Biden and Red Diaper Baby Harris (plus Comrade Supreme Leader Obama), you just might.

Been there, done that/ False arrest when I was a reporter. Judge refused to hear the case and prosecutor refused to present it. “Free at last, oh Lord, free at last” (two hours).

When I saw the capitol was breached , I thought it was with hundreds of armed patriots taking over

It was only a bunch of poor mislead saps

I have not been able to tune the news since.

That leaves out DC.

Remind that jerk about the ‘sleeping arrangements’ of the National Guard in DC.
