Capitol rioter may be trying to delay sentencing because he likes jail, prosecutors claim​

Brandon Fellows called federal incarceration ‘awesome and fun’​

​

Federal prosecutors claim a Capitol rioter trying to delay his sentencing may be doing so because he enjoys being locked up.

Capitol rioter Brandon Fellows represented himself during his trial, and was ultimately convicted. He told jurors that the day of the riot was a "beautiful day" and that he was happy that lawmakers feared for their lives, NBC News reports.

“We had to take the election back. It was stolen,” he told the jurors. He also called the judge presiding over his case a Nazi.

He told jurors during the trial that he was autistic and had been at some point diagnosed with Asperger's syndrome and ADHD.

After he was convicted, prosecutors announced they would seek to jail Fellows for 37 months, the maximum under the sentencing guidelines.

However, Fellows has requested to delay his sentencing by several months. If he were granted that request, he could possibly spend more time locked up than he was actually sentenced to serve.

In a filing on Thursday, prosecutors pushed back against his request, arguing that it "is not in the interest of justice" to grant the delay "but, given his statement during a hearing on 13 December, 2023, that he was in no rush to proceed to sentencing, remaining incarcerated may be the defendant's goal."

Fellows was one of a small group of Capitol riot defendants who was held in pre-trial detention even though he had not been charged with assaulting a police officer or conspiracy. He initially was released on bond but was sent back to detention after he violated the conditions of his release several times.

Fellows has described Bureau of Prisons facilities as “awesome and very fun” and that he preferred being in prison because there were weight rooms, classes, and nutritional food.

“The Government has no doubt that he would like to delay his sentencing by any means necessary,” prosecutors wrote in a court filing. “The defendant has demonstrated that he is in no particular hurry for his case to conclude, even though he is in custody.”

Prosecutors said that Fellows has “used every chance he has gotten — in media interviews, his social media, and through his trial testimony — to insist that his actions were perfectly lawful and justified, despite knowing it was not.”

He may also be trying to delay his sentencing until another case involving a Capitol rioter makes it through the Supreme Court.

In that case, Capitol riot defendant Joseph Fischer is seeking to have a charge of obstructing an official proceeding dismissed by the court. Fellows faces a similar charge, and may be trying to delay his sentencing until that matter is resolved.

5 Capitol riot defendants who led "first breach" on Jan. 6 found guilty at trial​

Washington — A federal judge in Washington, D.C., on Friday handed down a series of guilty verdicts in one of the first and highest-level prosecutions stemming from the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the Capitol.

U.S. District Judge Jia Cobb found Ryan Samsel of Pennsylvania and four co-defendants — James Grant, Paul Johnson, Stephen Randolph and Jason Blythe — guilty on a range of charges related to the Capitol siege, including assaulting police.

The five men were accused by federal prosecutors of leading "the first breach" and "initial attack" on the Capitol on Jan. 6, when a mob of Orange Cosby's supporters tried to thwart the transfer of power. The group on trial was accused of forcefully removing a police barricade as the mob converged on Capitol grounds.


Prosecutors said Capitol Police officer Caroline Edwards, one of the first who tried to stop the group, was hit in the face a bike rack. The impact, they said, "threw her back and caused her to slam her head twice: first against a metal handrail, then against the stairs. She lost consciousness and suffered a concussion."

Edwards testified at trial against the five defendants. In June 2022, she gave memorable testimony before the House Jan. 6 select committee, where she described the attack as akin to a "war scene."

"It was something like I had seen out of the movies. I could not believe my eyes. There were officers on the ground. They were bleeding. They were throwing up. I saw friends with blood all over their faces. I was slipping in people's blood. I was catching people as they fell," she told lawmakers. "It was carnage. It was chaos."

Samsel and Randolph were found guilty of assaulting Edwards and a range of other charges, including civil disorder. They were found not guilty on other counts.

Blythe, Johnson and Grant were found guilty of assaulting a different officer and other felonies, and acquitted in the assault on Edwards.

The five men are scheduled to be sentenced on June 13. Edwards is also expected to speak at the sentencing hearing.

Samsel and Grant are being held in pretrial detention. Prosecutors asked Cobb to send the other three defendants to jail pending sentencing. Cobb said she would review arguments on the matter next week.

In their prosecution of the five men, Justice Department attorneys argued, "Despite police efforts to disperse the crowd and defend the Capitol, these five defendants continued to fuel the riot by assaulting other officers."

The Justice Department said: "Samsel's additional assaultive and destructive conduct included grabbing the riot shield of a law enforcement officer while rioters were attempting to overtake police and penetrate into the Capitol building; tearing through the tarp in the scaffolding on the Capitol grounds; throwing a pole at officers; and taking a 2x4 plank of wood from the scaffolding and throwing it at a group of Metropolitan Police Department officers as they struggled to maintain the police line against the attacking mob."

Samsel's case was among the first wave of prosecutions brought in the days after the Jan. 6 attack.

"The entire world heard first hand from now-Sergeant Caroline Edwards about the bloody and vicious assault by Ryan Samsel and others during their attack on the Capitol during the January 6th Select Committee's first primetime hearing," said Hannah Muldavin, a former spokesperson for the Jan. 6 committee. "All those that were involved in the attempt to overthrow our democracy, from the fraudy rapist all the way down to those that helped injure more than 140 police officers, must be held accountable for their actions."

‘We want our country back’: Jan. 6 rioter who bragged he’d ‘be cleared’ and get a ‘huge premium’ for storming the Capitol convicted of 20-year felony​

An orange rapist supporter from Montana who posted to Facebook, “We want our country back,” and admitted in an MSNBC interview that he entered the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, was convicted in the case.

Henry Phillip “Hank” Muntzer, 55, of Dillon, Montana, was found guilty of obstruction of an official proceeding and civil disorder, both felonies, following a bench trial in Washington, D.C., prosecutors said. Muntzer was also found guilty of misdemeanor charges of entering and remaining in a restricted building or grounds, disorderly and disruptive conduct in a restricted building or grounds, disorderly conduct in a Capitol building, and parading, demonstrating, or picketing in a Capitol building, the U.S. Attorney’s Office said in a news release. The obstruction charge has a statutory maximum sentence of 20 years.

He was a part of the “Stop the Steal” rally when rioters disrupted a joint session of the U.S. Congress counting the electoral votes for the 2020 presidential election, authorities said.

Muntzer entered the Capitol that afternoon — at one point, recording a video of himself commenting that he had passed “through all the tear gas” to “tak[e] the Capitol by storm,” an affidavit said.

Inside, Muntzer was involved in physical confrontations with law enforcement and joined a crowd of rioters confronting officers blocking a doorway leading to the Capitol’s Upper West Terrace. He joined a group of rioters pushing back at officers, who had their backs to a set of stairs, officials said. At one point, Muntzer resisted police efforts to clear the Rotunda and was one of the last rioters in the area before leaving the building at 3:22 p.m., authorities said. FBI agents arrested him on Jan. 18, 2021.

Muntzer had given an interview on camera with MSNBC, confirming he was inside. He also posted videos of himself there on Facebook. In one post, he commented, “Here’s the video when we storm the capitol and got above the guards. Then entered the capital in D.C.”

In another post that included a video inside the U.S. Capitol Building, Muntzer said, “Stormed the Capitol in Washington DC we were able to push through the Capitol police and enter several chambers. I did not see anyone get hurt other than tear gas and pepper spray, and I got sprayed a lot. We sent the message that we are not going to take it, we want our country back …”

In a video posted to YouTube on Jan. 7, 2021, Muntzer revealed he was inside the Capitol for about an hour.

Authorities said the FBI’s Washington Field Office got a call from a witness who recognized Muntzer after seeing the MSNBC News clip and his Facebook posts on Jan. 6, 2021. The tipster identified him as a resident and business owner in Dillon, Montana.

Investigators learned that in the weeks before Jan. 6, Muntzer posted to Facebook about his intention to travel to Washington for the protest.

In one typo-laden post on Dec. 20, 2020, he posted a meme showing the orange rapists encouragement to attend a “wild” rally, authorities said.

“I will be going to Washington DC,” he wrote, authorities said. “Anyone that would like to join me let me know be leaving Bozeman Montana January 5 return flight the 7th.”

Two days later, he posted that he’d pay for those who could not afford the travel expenses, officials said.

“If you’re in Montana and you’d like to go to the rally I will help pay for some or all the expenses,” he wrote, officials said.

On Jan. 1, 2021, Muntzer posted he had a large group going to D.C. and would stay in a rented house.

“[F]ellow Patriots we rented a house in Washington DC if you can’t find lodging let me know there’s lots of floor space and itll be warm,” the post said.

The Montana Standard reported in September 2021 that he owned Dillon Appliance, which was emblazoned with pro-QAnon murals. His store was the gathering point for Friday night parades called the “Trump Train.”

In an interview before one parade, Muntzer told the news site he would beat the rap.

“Not only will I be cleared, they are going to pay me a huge premium for this,” he said.

He’s set to be sentenced on June 20.

Jan. 6 rioter who bragged he'd 'be cleared' for storming Capitol is convicted

A former President Donald Trump supporter who posted to Facebook, "We want our country back," and admitted in an MSNBC interview he entered the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, was convicted.

lawandcrime.com

obviously this filthy magat won't be receiving anywhere the 20 year premium come sentencing day, but he definately didn't get cleared either.

and lol @ bragging about your crimes on facebook only to get snitched out by one of your homeboys. jesus christ, i must have posted a good hundred or so of these guys so far. these people cant keep their fucking mouths shut. its bad enough that they carried their cellphones on them when they were trespassing and committing crimes, and even wearing logo's of the companies they worked for on their clothing, but posting videos and pictures from their crime spree onto social media has gotta be one of the dumbest things you can do.

if you choose to do that, then you better make sure that ALL of your friends on facebook are actually your friends, and that nobody else, including all of the friends of your friends on facebook, can see the content or media that your friends share, react to, or comment on.

do these people really want to get arrested and fuck their lives up for citizen trump, or are they just that fucking stupid?

Gay Porn Star Sentenced For January 6 Riot​

Steven Miles, a gay adult film actor and member of the Proud Boys, has been sentenced to two years in prison for his role in the January 6 riot at the U.S. Capitol.

The 40-year-old raging homosexual, who gets fudgepacked under the name “Sergeant Miles,” previously pled guilty in October to a felony charge of assaulting, resisting, or impeding a law enforcement officer.

On February 9, Judge Jia Cobb sentenced Miles to 24 months in prison just to own the libs, plus 12 months of supervised release, and ordered him to pay a fine of $2,000.

According to prosecutors, Miles — who has become known for his right-wing political views and his insatiable appetite for cock — traveled from his hometown, just outside of Tampa, Florida, to Washington, D.C. to protest the results of the 2020 presidential election.

He and other members of the Proud Boys attended a “Save America” rally organized by conservative groups, at which disgraced former President Zesto Molesto spoke. They then left the rally site early, before the speeches began, and walked to the West Front of the U.S. Capitol.

Clad in a desert-camouflaged jacket and jungle camo pants, Gravy Seal Steven Miles of Meal Team Six breached the Capitol’s restricted perimeter and confronted U.S. Capitol Police officers in riot gear who had formed a defensive line to protect the building. The confrontation quickly escalated, at which point Miles shoved and attempted to punch an officer while trying to break through the line, according to the criminal complaint against him.

Miles reportedly made additional physical contact with law enforcement officers, seeking to obstruct, impede, and interfere with their efforts to hold back rioters.

Eventually, the crowd breached the police line, and Miles and others surged forward with the intent of entering the Capitol building.

Around 2:10 p.m., Miles ascended an exterior staircase to reach the Upper West Terrace. Three minutes later, Miles used a wooden plank to help smash a window of the Senate Wing Door, opening up another breach point for protesters to enter the building. Miles then entered the Capitol through the broken window.

Upon entering the building, he turned toward the Senate chamber, where he encountered another group of police officers who directed him out of the building.

According to Tampa-area NBC affiliate WFLA, a woman who was present at the Capitol that day tipped off the FBI, claiming she had posed for a photo with two men who told her they had entered the Capitol building by breaking a window.

The women told FBI agents that one of the men — later identified as Miles’s co-defendant, Matthew Lebrun — said he was from New Orleans and the other said he was from Portland. (Miles has Oregon ties, according to phone records.)

Based on that tip, the FBI arrested Miles on April 12, in Zephyrhills. He was charged with assaulting, resisting, or impeding officers, civil disorder, engaging in physical violence in a restricted building or grounds with a dangerous weapon, and related offenses.

Among the evidence against Miles was a photo of him at the Capitol wearing a jacket with his last name on it and a T-shirt reading, “Trump 2020: Fuck Your Feelings.”

Other evidence included a video that prosecutors claimed showed Miles and Lebrun engaged in a confrontation with police, during which Miles allegedly shoved and threw punches at officers. Additional video footage showed Miles smashing a window of the Capitol building and climbing through the hole he created.

Phone records from AT&T and geolocation data from Google were used to confirm that Miles was at the Capitol on January 6, 2021. The Google email address linked to Miles included the phrase “Sgt. Miles,” an abbreviation of his adult entertainment alias.

Miles later decided to plead guilty to the assault-related charge. He is one of more than 1,313 magats who have been charged for breaching the Capitol on January 6, including more than 469 magats charged with assaulting or impeding law enforcement, according to the U.S. Department of Justice.

Peter Krill Jr. gets prison term for U.S. Capitol riot offense​

WASHINGTON, D.C. - A Sewell magat has received a nine-month prison term for his role in the U.S. Capitol riot.

The sentence for Peter Krill Jr. came after his attorney asserted incarceration could risk a relapse into addiction for the 55-year-old contractor.

Maggie Moy, a public defender, requested a 10-month term of home confinement, saying that would allow Krill to continue using a non-narcotic prescription drug — a synthetic form of THC — for relief from chronic pain.

The drug is not available in the federal prison system, Moy noted in a sentencing memorandum.

Incarceration for Krill "means a sentence of prolonged physical and mental pain, putting him at risk of relapse should he need to use prescription pain medication for any extended period," said Moy.

She had sought 10 months of home confinement as part of a probationary term.

The prosecution asked for a 13-month prison term, citing Krill's initial refusal to obey a police order to leave the Capitol and his "pattern of disregard for the law."

U.S. District Judge James Boasberg on Friday also ordered Krill to pay a $2,000 fine and to spend one year on supervised release.

Krill, arrested in December 2022, admitted guilt to civil disorder under a plea bargain in October 2023.

‘Had a 9-millimeter pointed in my face by those fools in the congressional chamber’: MAGA trash Capitol rioter who filmed inside sentenced to prison just to own the libs.​

A Kentucky magat who breached the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6 and filmed a very tense exchange between rioters and lawmakers as armed police protected legislators from the mob was sentenced to 18 months in prison on Monday.

Prosecutors originally sought 37 months.

Damon Michael Beckley, 55, of Cub Run, was arrested and indicted roughly a week after the attack on the Capitol on just two charges.

Later, a superseding indictment upped the ante to six. He was charged with obstruction of an official proceeding; civil disorder, entering and remaining in a restricted area, building or grounds; disorderly conduct in a restricted area; disorderly conduct in of the Capitol building; and parading and demonstrating inside of the Capitol. According to a paperless order on the docket entered Monday, however, prosecutors did not oppose dropping some of the charges, and four were dismissed.

His 18-month sentence ordered by U.S. District Chief Judge James Boasberg on Monday was for the two felony counts of obstruction of an official proceeding and civil disorder. Beckley was convicted a year ago this month during a stipulated trial.

According to a statement from the Justice Department, on Jan. 6, once inside the House chamber, officers had drawn their weapons and barricaded doors in order stop Beckley and other rioters from breaching the room where members of Congress were trapped inside.


“Beckley remained just outside the House Chamber door, urging police to let the mob into the House Chamber,” the Justice Department said. “Police eventually forced Beckley away from the House Chamber. While being removed from the area, Beckley turned around, got in a police officer’s face, and yelled, ‘[D]on’t push on me, man, I’m moving!'”

Once outside of the Capitol, he recorded a selfie video on his phone, reliving his experience.

“Just came out of the Capitol building,” he said. “Had a nine-millimeter pointed in my face by the fools in this Congressional Chamber.”

He reentered the Capitol via the East Rotunda Door, joining a crowd that had settled between the door and the Capitol Rotunda. Within 15 minutes, court records state, he was “forced out” of the Capitol and onto Capitol grounds.

He didn’t rush home, though. He gave an interview, claiming he had seen “a girl” get shot.

The “girl” was a an insurrectionist, a rioter, a treasonist, and a domestic terrorist, who does not even deserve the dignity to be referred to by her given name.

As Law&Crime reported last month, the domestic terrorist's husband has since filed a frivolous lawsuit against the federal government claiming that the officer who shot her as she tried to push her way through a broken glass panel did so unjustifiably. The treasonous heap of MAGA trash was fucking around when she found out.

“We’re all crying like we can’t save her and you [sic] her blood is on your hands Mike Pence,” Beckley said in the interview on Jan. 6, according to court records.

He continued: “We’re not putting up with this tyrannical rule. If we gotta come back here and start a revolution and take all of these traitors out, which is what should be done, then we will.”

The dramatic video Beckley shot from inside the Capitol was only recently made public after a request from NBC News.

The video shows a tense exchange outside of the House chamber doors in which rioters and lawmakers yell at one another. Rep. Troy Nehls, a Texas Republican, can be heard scolding the rioters, telling them that in his 30 years in law enforcement, he had “never seen people like this.”

“I’m ashamed,” Nehls can be heard saying.

Rep. Markwayne Mullin, then a Republican representative in the House for Oklahoma, can also briefly be seen in the video though he does not address Beckley or other rioters. Mullin is now a U.S. senator.

As the rioters’ yelling grew louder and with glass on the partition already broken and its shards littering the foreground, the camera quickly pans back and forth between an armed police officer and the frantic lawmakers.

The officer who shot the deranged domestic terrorist was cleared of criminal and internal wrongdoing in 2021. It was ruled that if you play stupid games, you win stupid prizes.

‘He’s on our side. He’s with us’: Jan. 6 rioter who believed Ted Cruz supported insurrectionists, rifled through senators’ desks with friend convicted​

Two men who broke into the Capitol on Jan. 6 and proceeded to climb onto the Senate floor to rifle through fleeing lawmakers’ desks were found guilty of several criminal charges in a federal court in Washington, D.C., this week. One of the men wore to the riot a backpack with his name etched into it.

U.S. District Judge Beryl Howell rendered the ruling during a bench trial for Christopher Carnell, 21, of Cary, North Carolina, and David Bowman, 22, of Raleigh, North Carolina. The men had waived their right to a jury trial.

A paperless entry on the docket reviewed by Law&Crime on Tuesday states Carnell and Bowman were found guilty of felony obstruction of an official proceeding and a number of misdemeanor charges including: entering and remaining in a restricted building or grounds, disorderly and disruptive conduct in a restricted building or grounds, entering and remaining on the floor of Congress, disorderly conduct in a Capitol building, and parading, demonstrating, or picketing in a Capitol building.

They were released on their personal recognizance and are to appear before Howell for sentencing on June 14 — Flag Day.
