NEW: The feds want Frank Scavo (a Pennsylvania man who organized buses to D.C. on Jan. 6) to serve two weeks of incarceration on his misdemeanor offense.

“tis me . . ur Capitol tour guide.”

"He acknowledged that 'January 6, 2021, was a dark day in our country’s history,' said his participation was 'wrong and it was a crime,' and expressed 'regret' for taking part."

"The decent thing to do for anyone who observed this appalling attack would have been to realize it was horribly wrong and leave the area. Yet Scavo did not turn away."

Frank Scavo pleaded guilty back in September. His sentencing is scheduled for next week. huffpost.com/entry/trump-ca…

Frank Scavo: "January 6, 2021, was a dark day in our country’s history. Entering the U.S. Capitol Building was wrong and it was a crime. I regret doing it. I am committed to continuing to do what I can to make amends for my actions.”

Arguing for probation, Frank Scavo’s attorney writes that "No excuse can be offered for January 6,” but that each person must be judged by their own actions, and that Scavo has been "subject of media attention and scorn in his hometown.” storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.usco…

Frank Scavo got support letters from a former U.S. Secret Service employee (and current detective) as well as a retired senior corrections officer.
