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.

Danny Rodriguez, the Trump fanatic who drove a stun gun into Officer Mike Fanone’s neck on Jan. 6 and nearly killed him, was in court in D.C. trying to get his confession tossed. It didn’t go very well for him. huffpost.com/entry/daniel-r…
Jurors won’t be able to hear Danny Rodriguez say “Oh, God. I shouldn’t be crying… I’m a grown man and I knew what I was doing” before he was advised of his rights, but they should get to hear him call himself “fucking piece of shit” and confess. huffpost.com/entry/daniel-r…
Judge Amy Berman Jackson to prosecutors after saying she’d suppress what Danny Rodriguez said pre-Miranda: “I think you can try this case without it, it’s not going to make that big of a difference one way or another.” huffpost.com/entry/daniel-r…

Kevin Cordon — who the feds says hung the flag he wore to the Capitol on Jan. 6 above his bed "like a trophy” — is due in court for sentencing at in five minutes. The feds want him locked up for 30 days. ImageImage
Judge Trevor McFadden was upset that the government said that then-Vice President Elect Kamala Harris was at the Capitol during the Jan. 6 attack when she wasn’t. Chewed out the prosecutor a bit about it, said they could’ve learned that had they read the Washington Post.
After saying that Kevin Cordon went into the Capitol through a “broken window, like a thief,” Judge McFadden said he thought he heard “real remorse” from Cordon. He rejected the government’s request for incarceration and sentences Cordon to 12 months probation.

Judge ultimately let Capitol defendant/police officer Joseph Fischer attend a family hunting trip later this month and use a muzzleloader and bow. He was arrested in February: huffpost.com/entry/police-t…
“I’m a cop too,” he said,“sometimes the country is worth more than your job.” storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.usco….
When he was arrested, the feds say Joseph Fischer started yelling obscenities and said he had no regrets. He got in one agent’s face, with "his nose up against an agent’s nose.”
