A Houston college student sentenced for his role in the Jan. 6, 2021 breach at the U.S. Capitol is one of the alleged victims of a FBI agent who was indicted for theft.
Alexander Fan was sentenced to 12 months probation for trespassing during a sentencing hearing on Friday. His attorney, Mark Thering, said he pleaded guilty and expressed genuine remorse in a statement to the court.
Fan's home was searched after his arrest in June 2023. Court records filed ahead of the hearing state, "the next day, Fan reported to the FBI that some items--including cash and silver bars--had gone missing from his bedroom. These items were not seized pursuant to the warrants."
Thering said the loss was several thousand dollars, and his client never expected his report to materialize.
"He was under the assumption, well, that was the last he'd hear from them," Thering said.
On Jan. 31, the U.S. Attorney's Office announced the arrest of Nicholas Anthony Williams, a Houston FBI agent.
"It's commendable. The agency took the lead and took my client's allegations seriously," Thering said.
According to the charges, Williams took money and property from multiple homes while executing search warrants from March 2022 to July 2023. He is also accused of stealing FBI cell phones and lying about charges on his government-issued credit card.
In response, Williams' defense attorney, Chip Lewis, told ABC13, "Nick has cooperated with the authorities from the outset of this investigation and will continue to do so."

Seems like Bob Menendez was in on the raid.
“12 months federal probation my involvement for Jan 6, I ate some bear spray, I took some selfies and left. The FBI stole shit out of my home” I would buy that T Shirt.
Criminals with badges. All of them.
Remorse for what?
Getting caught
Remorse for showing up without patriotic face paint and a buffalo horn costume. :-O
How would you respond to senseless brutality?
“Saddam hurriedly convened an “emergency session” of party leaders on July 22. During the assembly, which he ordered to be videotaped,[3] he claimed to have uncovered a fifth column within the party. Abdul-Hussein “confessed” to be part of a Syrian-financed faction established in 1975 that played a major role in the Syrian-backed plot against the Iraqi government. He also gave the names of 68 alleged co-conspirators.[10] These were removed from the room one by one as their names were called and taken into custody. After the list was read, Saddam congratulated those still seated in the room for their past and future loyalty. Those arrested at the meeting were subsequently tried together and found guilty of treason. Twenty-two men, including five members of the Revolutionary Command Council,[11] were sentenced to execution. Those spared were given weapons and directed to execute their comrades.[12][13]”
I would imagine for foolishly thinking he lived in a Republic.

Getting caught for what? These people didn’t break any laws.
12 months probation for an insurrection? Seems awfully light.
I meant the FBI agent thief not the student
The government is ultimately responsible for the thefts and should be required to compensate for the losses.
Well, well! Is this standard FBI procedure?
A key part of the J6 conspiracy was to extract pubic confessions from the freedom fighters. Early on I read about many cases where those caught in the web had to confess that Trump lied about the election steal and incited them to attempt an insurrection in order to avoid jail time. Those that didn’t take the deal are still languishing in the DC gulag three years after.
