Barnett was found guilty of 1/6 felony counts including trespassing into the Capitol, obstruction of government operations, and theft of government property for stealing from Speaker Pelosi’s desk.
Barnett also encouraged other people to enter the Capitol and said that they were at war with the United States government.
Richard Barnett became a right-wing celebrity and was interviewed on Russian TV.
Federal charges may soon come against Donald Trump, so seeing some of the top critics who inspired and encouraged him to attack the Capitol being sent to prison will be exciting for many Americans.
Trump has some legal issues, but it’s a bet that Richard Barnett will do more time in prison than Donald Trump.
The wheels of justice turn slowly, but they are coming to those who tried to attack the United States of America.
