Washington state man pleads guilty in Jan. 6 insurrection

PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) — A Washington state man accused of entering the U.S. Capitol with a pro-Trump mob during the Jan. 6 deadly insurrection has pleaded guilty to entering and remaining in a restricted building or grounds.

Jeffrey Grace, 64, entered the plea on Monday and had three other charges dropped as part of a plea agreement, KGW-TV reported.

Grace could face up to six months in prison for the misdemeanor crime when he is scheduled for sentencing in August.

Grace’s son, Jeremy Grace, pleaded guilty to the same charge and had three others dropped last year and was sentenced to 21 days in prison and supervised release.

Court records say both went to Washington, D.C., in January 2021 to attend a rally in support of then-President Donald Trump. They traveled and stayed at a hotel with a member of the Proud Boys identified as “Travis” in court documents.

The three men attended a gathering of the Proud Boys on Jan. 5, prosecutors said in court documents.

Federal prosecutors shared photos and video with the court showing both Jeff and Jeremy Grace near the front line of protesters who pushed past law enforcement protecting the Capitol. Both also appeared in selfie photos inside and outside the Capitol Building during the insurrection, according to prosecutors.

F this neo-facist/Communist Government. For what the J6 people have had to endure, these Americans should be hailed as heroes. We all know that absolutely nothing will happen to 99% of those who last week invaded the State Capital building of Kentucky, TN, and FL.

"About 1,000 people have been charged with federal crimes in the riot that temporarily halted the certification of President Joe Biden’s victory and left dozens of police officers injured and 4 unarmed protestors killed by the Capitol Police, with no legitimate investigation of the police actions.

“...during the Jan. 6 deadly insurrection.”

Old liars never die and they never fade away either, more liars just replace them.

They murdered Ashli Babbit to ensure they would be able to use the word “deadly” in every reference to J6.

I get your gist, but they never reference Babbit. EVER.

They use the manufactured narrative - i.e., LIE - that 5 officers died DURING what they frame an ‘insurrection’, hence ‘deadly insurrection’.

We all know the truth.

And that’s how they’ve got their list of “convicted insurrectionists/terrorists.” Slap them with multiple BS charges then convince them to accept a plea deal if the SS drops three out of four charges.

Voila’! Convicted insurrectionist/terrorist. For walking into the publicly owned Senate building.

On a side note, the FBI/DOJ has had the Hunter Biden laptop for three and one-half years. I wonder if they put the same effort into investigating those crimes . . .

“Deadly”?

Only to a couple of protesters who got shot or clubbed by police.

Field day for the heat.

The only deaths were two MAGA women. Maybe the AP should look into that.

"...has pleaded guilty..."

.

If you plead 'guilty' to a non-crime that you did not commit - and wasn't a 'crime' -
you will be declared innocent of that non-crime.

George Orwell is laughing...
