For a $100 donation, "Richard will send you an autographed picture of him sitting in Pelosi's office personally addressed to whomever you like", according to the site
"Richard sends his deepest thanks & appreciation for any amount of money.."

The site says:
"His employment was terminated because of public pressure to fire him after his arrest"

The site says Barnett was "regularly roughed up by prison guards..... and held in solitary confinement for long periods of time" during his pre-trial detention

You'll notice the banner..... and the decision to include the words "The Hoax"

I've reached out to his attorney for comment. Will update you when/if a response is sent
And website says Go Fund Me would not accept this campaign
Updating earlier thread to clarify "Pelosi desk" refers to desk in Pelosi office suite, not her personal desk
