Feds are asking for three months of home confinement for Brittiany Dillon, who claimed she "fought hard” on Jan. 6. Sentencing set for next Monday on her disorderly and disruptive conduct charge.

Brittiany Dillon’s actions were "motivated by false information” and she has shown "a willingness to countenance political violence and a risk of engaging in such violence going forward,” feds say.

"We may lose all communications. An all out civil war may start. It will be fast because our side is more prepared.”

"Dillon also claimed that she did not support violence except in extreme circumstances like the Revolutionary War, but it is clear from her text messages that she viewed the Presidential succession as such an extreme circumstance.”

Feds: "motivated by lies, Dillon associated herself with an effort that she saw as part of a civil war, and thus, should not be compared to those who obtained just a probationary sentence.”
