On Jan. 6, 2021, a protestor, 40-year-old Brady Knowlton, says that an officer at the Capitol told “You can go in, as long as you don’t break anything.” At 2:35 p.m., Knowlton did, entering through the Upper West Terrace doors. He looked around inside the building, walked through the Rotunda, lobby, and Senate chamber gallery, obeyed the officer’s injunction not to break anything, and left the building at 2:53 p.m. For that, Knowlton now faces twenty years in prison in Old Joe Biden’s vengeful banana republic.
On top of the possibility of being behind bars until 2042, Knowlton, a law student, has suffered numerous other consequences already. According to the Daily Wire, “his law degree has been withheld, his lawyers say, Airbnb has banned him and his wife, and, for reasons that remain undisclosed, the U.S. Customs and Border Protection has stripped his Global Entry access.”
According to the charges filed against him in the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia, Knowlton “did unlawfully and knowingly enter and remain in a restricted building and grounds.” He also “did knowingly, and with intent to impede and disrupt the orderly conduct of Government business and official functions, engage in disorderly and disruptive conduct in and within such proximity to, a restricted building and grounds, that is, any posted, cordoned-off, and otherwise restricted area within the United States Capitol and its grounds, where the Vice President and Vice President-elect were temporarily visiting.” He “willfully and knowingly engaged in disorderly and disruptive conduct within the United States Capitol Grounds. He “willfully and knowingly entered and remained in the gallery of either House of Congress, without authorization to do so.”
If Knowlton’s contention that a police officer said he could go in is true, it vitiates all these charges,

Is this really how USA is now? Disgusting!
“For that, Knowlton now faces twenty years in prison in Old Joe Biden’s vengeful banana republic.”
Hate to be caught supporting this Administration on other crap.
One well known figure didn’t even enter the Capital Building,
but they are trying to put him in prison for a long time.
This is a political witch hunt, way way way over the line.
Political prisoner bump.
The exchange is on video. And Pelosi the scum is hiding the video.
Nice to see that you might have finally awakened to the six (6) decades-long slide into tyranny that has been happening in plain sight...
Unfortunately, you woke up far too late to do anything about it...
There are no avenues to undo this communist tyranny except one...
IAC, just be a good serf and follow our master's rules:
Bow down!... Obey!... Snitch!...
Get used to it or do something significant about it..
“The bottom line is:
The exchange is on video. And Pelosi the scum is hiding the video. “
I figured that much. Glad I don’t support Pelosi on other issues.
bkmk
They have 14,000 hours of video. A search would take all of a day, if that, since he knows the time when he went in, and where.
He “willfully and knowingly engaged in disorderly and disruptive conduct within the United States Capitol Grounds. He “willfully and knowingly entered and remained in the gallery of either House of Congress, without authorization to do so.”
Makes him sound like he's a member of Code Pink(o)!
as soon as republicans retake house and presidency- i wanna see code pink brought up on charges, and to be called insurrectionists for doing exactly what the jan 6 protestors did-
When Antifa and BLM were torching cities and blowing up federal facilities and court houses, the Republicans did nothing. It went on for decades. The Republicans didn’t hold hearings. They refused to investigate or prosecute. No one was held accountable.
The Democrats have persecuted the J6 protesters. They’ve held “bi-partisan hearings”. They’ve pressured all of the agencies to investigate and prosecute the J6 protesters. The J6 protesters civil rights have been blatantly violated. Only a handful of Republican representatives spoke up on behalf of the J6 protesters.
Tell me again. Why is the Republican party any better than the Democrat party?
I seem to recall, It could have been Putin directly, but some political entity in Russia was calling out the United States for what they’re doing here, for making these political prisoners.
Thanks for the mention. Pretty close to home there.
Pretty bad when it's so obvious a foreign official gets it
before our puddin headed Republicans do.
Yep. Never thought I’d see the day.
Do you support Pelosi on this issue, the persecution of the Jan 6 protesters?
Same here.
Welcome to the U.S.S.A.
This is a clear violation of the 8th Amendment. Many of those charged should get a lawyer or legal organization to bring a class action suit on these grounds.
