According to court documents, a staffer for Rep. Brad Schneider (D-Ill.) quietly resigned after he was accused of impersonating an FBI agent during a Trump rally on Nov. 14, 2020. Sterling Devion Carter allegedly showed up at a MAGA rally in Washington, D.C., but was posing as a fake FBI agent.
The Daily Beast reported, "Carter, who was standing near his parked car, was wearing a black T-shirt that read 'federal agent,' a police duty belt, a Glock pistol, extra ammunition, handcuffs, a radio, and an earpiece." Carter looked the part of a federal agent so convincingly well that people in the crowd thanked him for his service.
However, law enforcement did not discover that Carter was a Democratic congressional staffer until three weeks after the Secret Service chase. During that time, Carter was a credentialed staffer who had access to the U.S. Capitol building.
When Schneider's office was made aware that their staffer was accused of being a fake FBI agent, they contacted Carter and gave him the option to resign or be fired, according to an officer’s sworn statement. Carter – who was on the lam from federal authorities at the time – reportedly told the office of the Democratic representative that he would resign, but he would end up keeping his government-issued cellphone.
According to an affidavit, Carter had personally given himself an $80,000 raise – increasing his annual salary from $54,000 to $138,000 as a congressional staffer. Carter – who was Schneider's operations director that was responsible for managing payroll and bonus payments – reportedly pulled off the scam for over a year.
"According to an FBI affidavit, Carter started filling out payroll authorization forms and faking the signature of Schneider's chief of staff to get them approved in November 2019, when he was only three months into the job," the Daily Mail reported.
Following a national manhunt, Carter was arrested in mid-January in his parents' home state of Georgia.
Carter admitted in court that he openly carried a firearm in the District of Columbia – where it is illegal to do so
I would have dressed as a Gladiator and not a Fed……but that’s just me.

Will he get 7 years in prison like the J6 defendant accused of carrying a weapon? I bought it.
F Black Idiot
HUH? A dem staffer? Butt, butt, butt.............
This is the average staffer in the deep state now.
Did he keep the cash in the freezer? He should run for mayor of DC.
No explanation of what prompted the Secret Service chase.
I suspect he was a real undercover FBI agent. Implanted as a decoy until his cover got blown
Wow! That’s a lot of laws to be breaking just to spy on a Trump rally. I wonder what or who he was looking for/spying on. If you wanted to see what Trump was saying, you could watch the rally on-line, so it was something more than that.
Maybe planning to stir up and instigate trouble, and maybe harass or fake an arrest of attendees? There is more to this than just what you read in this article.

Crazed libtards love spying on people
No surprise.
Just a Democrat doing what black Democrats do. Embezzling, lying, and expecting to get away with it because they’re entitled.
Typical nasty thieving DemonRAT. Evil wicked people. I’m glad I don’t have any RATS in my family.
He openly and illegally carried a firearm to rally held by POTUS Trump who is under Secret Service protection.
