NEW: DOJ wants 75 days of incarceration for Jenny Cudd, the Texas flower shop owner who bragged about storming the Capitol in a Facebook Live video and said she’d “absolutely” do it again.
Jenny Cudd’s defense attorney, meanwhile, describes her client’s infamous Facebook Live video as a “drunken diatribe” fueled by Coors Light. nbcnews.com/politics/justi…
The 68-page defense memo (excluding exhibits) features photos of Jenny Cudd running for mayor, spreading her father’s ashes at the Vietnam memorial, at a photoshoot with her fiancé, and posing with some "new friends.”

Feds want:
- 120 days incarceration for William Merry
- 90 days incarceration for Paul Westover
- 45 days incarceration for Emily Hernandez

"After roaming the halls tauntingly chanting ‘Nancy,' he entered the
