An Arkansas man who was infamously photographed putting his feet on a desk inside then-House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s office during the January 6, 2021, insurrection was found guilty on eight counts by a Washington, DC, jury Monday.

Richard Barnett, 62, also known as “Bigo,” was charged with eight federal crimes relating to his actions at the US Capitol that day, including entering and remaining in a restricted area with a deadly or dangerous weapon and obstructing an official proceeding.

Barnett will be sentenced in early May and will stay released on home detention with a GPS ankle monitor until then, despite a request from prosecutors to revoke his release. He faces up to 20 years in prison for the top charge of obstructing an official proceeding.

FWIW, the fact the judge is allowing home-confinement likely means he won’t get anything close to 20 years.

What’s the difference between him and other J6 defendants who have been locked in near solitary confinement for the last 2 years?

Perhaps if he had commited some lesser crime like stealing top secret documents and storing them where our enemies could access them, he would get the charges dropped.

Probably 0.00000001% will be held and quickly released.

Old articles on the Floyd and Trayvon Martin violent protest offenders said variations on “Almost none of the charged suspects are in prison today. Nearly all were released.” And the obligatory “X million dollars of damages and lost business and X buildings burned and X police cars were destroyed.”

Thia is what happens when so many laws are created that makes everything illegal. Then democrats only use those laws against their enemies.

Lawfare is the weapon of choice of the democrat army in this CWII.

Surprised that the federal Gestapo didn't charge each of his toes with being on the desk.

"On January 6, Barnett was recorded saying he didn’t steal an envelope he had taken from inside the Capitol, adding that he wrote Pelosi a note calling her a “b***h,” according to court documents.

“I did not steal it,” Barnett said in the video. “I bled on it because they were macing me and I couldn’t f**king see so I figured I am in her office. I got blood on her office. I put a quarter on her desk even though she ain’t f**king worth it. And I left her a note on her desk that says ‘Nancy, Bigo was here, you b***h.’”

Should have made it 10 counts, one for each toe.

There are some places that are just too disgusting to take a dump.
