$500 and 3 other charges dropped. Prosecutors were desperate for something, anything.

>> Ivey spent about 35 minutes inside the Capitol, mostly inside the Rotunda.

Holy crap — that’s insanely egregious. /s

[Maudeen]

I thought capital police or perhaps fake officers were coaxing and ushering in the crowd. We are not getting the real story.

[BipolarBob]

Why plead guilty to "violating a federal law that forbids violent entry and disorderly conduct." I'd rot in prison before I'd do that.

[Bayard]

Plus 5k and 6 months prison.

Is it a felony or a misdemeanor on his record?

[Nateman]

Only 5 have caved in? How many political prisoners still remain in the DC Gulag?

[Fido969]

parading, demonstrating, or picketing

Only gay people and liberals are allowed to do this.

[RandFan]

There’s about 80 according to Pete Santilli who said he was in contact with families of defendants...

[beethovenfan]

Deadly? Who died besides Ashley Babbit?

[plain talk]

“He faces up to six months in prison as well as a fine of up to $5,000.”

[CocktailPeanuts]

well one is enough right? If you have one fight at a “peaceful” rally then by definition it is no longer “peaceful”

[LIConFem]

Boy, thry’re certainly going easy on these “insurrectionists” who “murdered” a capitol police officer. < /sarc>

[GOPJ]

... for the nearly $1.5 million in damages

I'd like to see the numbers on that... not that Nancy and her democrat/commie thugs would inflate the numbers or anything...

[Fido969]

However, after the police barricades were broken through, Ivey walked towards the Senate Wing Door of the Capitol and observed a rioter breaking a window with a riot shield. According to prosecutors, Ivey walked through the window, knowing that he was not permitted to enter, and waved other rioters to enter.

Ivey spent about 35 minutes inside the Capitol, mostly inside the Rotunda.

Where is the "violent entry"?

[glimmerman70]

Lots of counter suits if the truth ever comes out. This reminds me of the 2 that just pleaded guilty because rioters were gonna come on their property and kill him and his wife and rape her and sleep in their beds. Came out with guns to protect themselves and got arrested. Had to give up the guns and plead guilty to a misdemeanor to keep there lawyer status. Wth is wrong with these politicians.

[Nateman]

...though prosecutors stated that he deleted all videos and photos from inside and outside the Capitol that he had taken on Jan. 6 on his cell phone.

Odd that they did not pursue obstruction of Justice here. Seeing as how they are withholding videos from that day I'd be surprised if they didn't make him erase those videos as part of the plea deal.

[sport]

Very true. Their end plan is to through hook or crook, tie this to President Trump and prosecute him. Believe it or not. And the true story will never be told.

[ActresponsiblyinVA]

Does anyone have an idea as to the damages caused by the George Floyd riots? Has anyone had to pay for this?

[Fido969]

Looks pretty orderly to me.
