Jan. 6 prosecutions by the numbers: 21 months later, more than 880 charged.

As the House Jan. 6 committee holds what is probably its final hearing Thursday, the Justice Department says that in the 21 months since the attack on the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, prosecutors have charged more than 880 defendants from all 50 states.

Out of the more than 880 defendants charged, 272 face charges of assaulting or impeding officers, including 95 charged with using a deadly or dangerous weapons. That led to 140 police officers across two departments to sustain injuries, the Justice Department said.

More than 294 defendants have been charged with felony obstruction of an official proceeding, according to DOJ, and a conviction carries a maximum sentence of up to 20 years in prison.

In a Washington federal courtroom this week, a jury is hearing arguments in one of the biggest cases in the Jan. 6 investigation. Stewart Rhodes and three other members of the Oath Keepers are being charged with seditious conspiracy. All four have pleaded not guilty. Fifty others allegedly involved in the Capitol riot have been charged with conspiracy, including Enrique Tarrio, the former leader of the Proud Boys, who also has pleaded not guilty.

The Justice Department says 412 people have pleaded guilty to a "variety" of federal charges with approximately 100 pleading guilty to felonies and another 313 have pleaded guilty to misdemeanors. DOJ says another 21 people have been found guilty at trial.

The FBI says they are still looking for more than 360 individuals it says are connected to the events of Jan. 6.

"The government continues to investigate losses that resulted from the breach of the Capitol, including damage to the Capitol building and grounds, both inside and outside the building," a release from the department says.

Attorney General Merrick Garland has said repeatedly the Justice Department will hold anyone responsible for the events of Jan. 6 accountable, no matter who they are.

Here's a handy little table of the 928 people charged so far.  You can view the names, filings, court documents, charges (and in the case of 417 of them) their guilty pleas. 

Check it often as it is constantly updated when more criminals are arrested and more decide to plead guilty.

The most useful part of this is showing that none of the people have been charged with insurrection. 

And of course you don’t care that some of these people have been held in solitary confinement without bail.  But you go ahead and keep celebrating this anti-American persecution of the dummies who broke the law.

No they haven't been charged with insurrection.  But then I have never called this an insurrection either have I? 

What some have been charged with is seditious conspiracy.  Bottom line of course, is that if they had kept their asses home, or acted like they had common sense, or were not stupid enough to fall for Trumpy's Big Lie.... well they wouldn't be in custody or charged with anything.

A Fleetwood man is seeking a break on his federal sentence for taking part in the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol, citing his contributions to his community, his willingness to take responsibility for his actions and the low quality of the stun gun he wielded against police officers.

A sentencing memorandum filed last week by the attorneys representing 55-year-old Alan Byerly requests that he receive a penalty below the 37- to 46-month guideline when a judge sentences him Friday.

Federal prosecutors filed their own memorandum on Oct. 9 seeking at least 46 months of imprisonment followed by three years of supervised release. They said they requested a sentence at least at the top of the stipulated guidelines range because Byerly committed three assaults, two against police officers.

Byerly pleaded guilty in July to one count of assaulting a law enforcement officer with a dangerous or deadly weapon and one count of striking, beating and wounding on federal property. He has been in federal custody since being charged in July 2021.

Those were two of the eight counts with which he was originally charged. The plea was part of a deal with prosecutors.

In Byerly's sentencing memorandum filed Friday, his attorneys wrote that their client has taken full responsibility for his actions and feels remorse.

"Alan Byerly is truly remorseful for his actions," they wrote in the document. "He has pled guilty and accepted full responsibility for what he did. He knows that pleading guilty is the right thing to do given his actions and he offers this court no excuse for what he did."

The memorandum also says Byerly already has paid a heavy toll for his actions on Jan. 6.

"For the last 15.5 months he has been unable to see any of his family members, whom he misses dearly," they wrote. "Due to the pandemic, he has spent a significant portion of that time in stark conditions, often going weeks locked down in his cell with minimal time out of the cell. During that time, he lost his house and upon release will need to move in with his aunt."

Bylery's attorneys also argue that the stun gun he was armed with during the riot should not be classified as a dangerous or deadly weapon.

"Regarding the device Mr. Byerly brought with him to Washington, D.C., the government's investigation established Mr. Byerly purchased the device at a Cabela's store for $24.99 and the packaging described it as a compact stun gun and flashlight," the memorandum reads. "The government's investigation also determined that the device was considered 'junk' by engineering experts who work on TASER weapons."

Byerly's sentencing memorandum attempts to paint Byerly as an upstanding citizen outside of his involvement in the attack on the Capitol. It includes character letters that his attorneys believe show what type of individual he has been and can expected to be again once released.

"He is described as a respectful, kindhearted, loyal, and caring man," the memorandum reads. "He is the type of man that is there when your car breaks down or when you need something fixed in the house. He is a skilled carpenter by trade. He has always worked to provide for and support his four children.

"He takes pride in his family and is a caring and loving father, son and nephew. He has not had any contact with the criminal justice system for 18 years; during that time, he worked and lived a productive life."

The case

According to a criminal complaint filed in U.S. District Court in Washington:

Byerly was among a crowd of rioters who gathered near a line of bicycle racks set up by police to keep the crowd at bay.

Video shows Byerly just behind the bike racks holding what appears to be a stun gun, which he raises with his right hand and activates. Byerly charges at police, some of whom can be heard yelling, "Taser! Taser! Taser!" to warn their fellow officers.

Within seconds, the officers were able to knock the stun gun out of Byerly's hands. But he kept charging, striking and pushing officers. At one point he tried to take a baton from an officer, knocking that officer to the ground in the process.

Officers were eventually able to restrain Byerly. However, he was able to escape with the help of a fellow rioter.

The attack on police officers was the second assault in which Byerly was involved that day.

Earlier that afternoon, Byerly was caught on footage posted by media outlets. It showed him joining the assault of an Associated Press photographer who was pulled down a flight of stairs, pushed to the ground and dragged toward a mob of protesters.

A Northeast Florida man charged with assaulting police during the Jan. 6, 2021 riot at the U.S. Capitol is arguing he was entrapped, his attorney told court officials in Washington.

Daniel Paul Gray was indicted last year on nine counts, with penalties that legally could top 20 years, after being accused of shoving police and causing a female officer to fall down a flight of stairs in the Capitol’s rotunda.

But defense attorney John M. Pierce wrote in a court filing over the weekend that his client will argue the officer created the situation so it’s not Gray’s fault.

“While Gray was lawfully standing and protesting outside the Capitol, Gray’s cellphone device was unlawfully stolen … by an (apparent) law enforcement officer,” the lawyer wrote.

“… Gray was forced to follow the apparent officer into the interior of the Capitol to seek recovery of his device,” Pierce wrote. “These facts establish a type of entrapment defense, because Gray was not intending to enter the Capitol prior to the unlawful actions of the alleged officer.”

Arguing entrapment could add another layer of complexity to the case prosecutors have to prove to convict Gray, 42, whose lawyer also said he’d argue Gray was acted justifiably to recover stolen property.

“Thus, at trial the United States will need to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that Daniel Gray (1) did not enter the Capitol to retrieve his stolen cell phone; and (2) was not entrapped into following an officer into the Capitol where the officer later claimed to have been ‘assaulted’ by Gray,” the lawyer wrote in a document called a notice of affirmative defenses.

Gray, who lived in Neptune Beach when he was arrested last year, is one of about 800 people charged after the riot, when supporters of former President Donald Trump tried to stop Congress from certifying Trump's election loss to President Joe Biden.

Gray’s phone has been a part of the court case since the first charges were filed in May 2021.

Within days of the riot, according to the complaint, Gray described events at the Capitol on Instagram, saying “a female cop stole my phone and I got mace’d. ... and I’m like you know what, we’re doing this and so we literally pushed them from the front steps of the Capitol all the way back.”

The complaint said Gray’s posting described overrunning House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s office and later coming into contact with the female officer, an unnamed member of Washington’s Metropolitan Police Department.

Describing Gray struggling with police, the complaint said an officer’s body-worn camera “recorded Gray as he asked the group of officers several times, ‘Can I have my cell phone back please?’”

Gray had the phone with him when he was arrested in May and it was taken as evidence to show texts and social media postings he’d made about the riot.

His lawyer asked a judge this month to have the phone returned to Gray, who has been free while the case heads to trial.

But a prosecutor asked to delay that question, saying that the government has offered to return the phone if Gray will sign a statement that a digital copy authorities made of its contents is accurate, which would eliminate a need for any action by the judge.

Almost 3 years in prison.  Worst part of it?  Everyone knowing he bought shit equipment from Cabelas for $24.99 that didn't do a damn thing, even when he used it against himself after purchasing it.      (Another stable genius)

But there is a silver lining.  Seeing how he doesn't have a home, or a job or a way to feed himself, at least in prison he has a roof over his head and 3 hots and a cot.

Capitol rioter gets prison for attacks on journalist, police.

A Pennsylvania man was sentenced on Friday to nearly three years in prison for assaulting an Associated Press photographer and attacking police officers with a stun gun during the U.S. Capitol riot.

Alan Byerly apologized to his victims before U.S. District Judge Randolph Moss sentenced him to two years and 10 months in prison followed by three years of supervised release. Byerly will get credit for the more than 15 months he already has served behind bars since his arrest, according to his lawyers.

“I didn't go to D.C. to harm anyone,” Byerly told the judge.

Byerly, 55, pleaded guilty in July to assaulting AP photographer John Minchillo and then activating a stun gun as he charged at police officers who were trying to hold off the mob that formed outside the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021.

Byerly said he was an “antagonistic jerk” when he confronted the officers. He also said he assaulted Minchillo after hearing a voice say, “That's antifa. Get him out of here.”

Minchillo was wearing a lanyard with AP lettering when Byerly and other rioters attacked him on the Capitol’s Lower West Terrace, according to a court filing accompanying Byerly’s guilty plea. Byerly grabbed Minchillo, pushed him backward and dragged him toward a crowd, the filing says. Another AP photographer captured the assault on video.

“I should have never gotten involved, and I'm deeply sorry for my actions,” Byerly said.

Prosecutors sought a sentence of at least three years and 10 months of imprisonment, followed by three years of supervised release. Defense lawyers requested a sentence below an estimated guidelines range of 37 to 46 months in prison.

Moss said he believed Byerly is genuinely remorseful for his role in the mob's “assault on democracy.” The judge said it was clear that Byerly couldn't have injured anybody with the inexpensive stun gun that he brought to the Capitol, but the officers couldn't have known that given the sound that it made.

“They were clearly frightened by it,” Moss said. “It undoubtedly added to the fear the officers felt that day.”

Minchillo “must have been extremely frightened, as well,” the judge added.

None of Byerly's victims attended his sentencing hearing.

Byerly bought the stun gun before traveling from his home in Fleetwood, Pennsylvania, to Washington, D.C., for the “Stop the Steal” rally on Jan. 6. Leaving the rally before then-President Donald Trump finished speaking, Byerly went to the west side of the Capitol and joined other rioters in using a metal Trump billboard as a battering ram against police, prosecutors said.

Later, Byerly approached police officers behind bike racks and deployed his stun gun. After officers grabbed the stun gun from Byerly's hands, he charged at them, struck and pushed them and grabbed an officer’s baton, prosecutors said. One of the officers fell and landed on his hands while trying to restrain Byerly.

Defense attorneys said the model of stun gun that Byerly purchased for $24.99 was considered to be “junk” by engineering experts.

“Furthermore, shortly after purchasing the device, Mr. Byerly had accidentally activated it on himself and thus knew that it could not cause injury or even pain,” the defense lawyers wrote in a court filing.

Other rioters helped him elude capture that day, but Byerly was arrested in July 2021. He told FBI agents that he did just “one stupid thing down there and that’s all it was,” according to prosecutors.

“This was a reference to how he handled the reporter and nothing more,” they wrote in a court filing.

Byerly, a carpenter by trade and father of four children, has remained in custody since his arrest more than 15 months ago.

Approximately 900 people have been charged with federal crimes for their conduct on Jan. 6. More than 420 of them have pleaded guilty, mostly to misdemeanor offenses. Nearly 300 have been sentenced, with roughly half of them getting terms of imprisonment ranging from seven days to 10 years, according to an AP review of court records.

More than 100 police officers were injured during the Jan. 6 riot. Over 270 defendants have been charged with assaulting, resisting or impeding officers or employees at the Capitol, according to the Justice Department. Byerly is one of several defendants charged with assaulting members of the news media or destroying their equipment at the Capitol.

But wait.... there's more.  Also sentenced today...  48 months in jail and called a liar to his face by the judge.   

This is the idiot that claimed he climbed the Capitol walls because that's what people back home did, climb walls all the time.       Now he can practice climbing the grey hotel walls. 

Just another idiot that thought the courts would believe his lies.  These Trumpturds.... not very bright at all.

'Loudmouth' Jan. 6 rioter who climbed Capitol wall gets four years in federal prison.

A self-described "loudmouth" who stormed the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6 after climbing up a wall and entering the building through a door with a broken window as an alarm blared was sentenced to four years in federal prison on Friday.

Matthew Bledsoe of Tennessee, who said “Where are those pieces of s--- at?" as he entered the U.S. Capitol, was convicted by a jury in July after he failed to convince them that he was unaware that Congress was certifying the 2020 presidential election when he entered the building.

Chief U.S. District Judge Beryl Howell imposed the sentence on Friday, telling Bledsoe that his testimony was clearly false.

“You knew what was going on,” Howell said.

The government sought 70 months — more than 5.5 years in federal prison — for Bledsoe, saying that he "made self-serving statements that minimized his participation and conduct in the unprecedented attack on the Capitol."

But Howell said sentencing Bledsoe to 70 months, the guidelines' minimum for Bledsoe, would create a sentencing disparity with other Jan. 6 cases given his conduct that day, and instead sentenced Bledsoe to 48 months.

Before he was sentenced, Bledsoe apologized for "letting my emotions get the best of me" and said he regrets a lot of things that happened on Jan. 6.

Howell pointed to comments that were posted on a fundraiser for Bledsoe and said that Bledsoe was being sentenced not because of a biased justice system, but because of his criminal conduct on Jan. 6.

"I do view this as a very serious case, and you are facing serious prison time," Howell said.
