NEW: Feds seek 5.25 years in federal prison for romance cover model Logan Barnhart, who dragged a cop down the stairs and was identified by online sleuths. #catsweat #seditionhunters

Logan Barnhart pleaded guilty in September: nbcnews.com/politics/justi…

There ya have it, folks:

Caused a real shakeup in the industry:

"Evidence of Barnhart’s second round of assaults that occurred between 4:31 and 4:33 p.m. was not located until after the superseding indictment was returned and while the parties were actively engaged in plea negotiations." storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.usco…

That's not some secret new discovery. That's the government's own footage, which has been publicly available since December 2021, that they somehow missed.

The flag attack was highlighted in a video that we prepared in spring 2021 in anticipation of Barnhart’s arrest.

The video ran when he was arrested, in August 2021.

Yet that attack, which was also captured on CCTV, was not included in the superseding indictment months later.
