A woman who was charged with participating in the insurrection at the US Capitol on January 6 asked a federal court to let her leave the US for a vacation she booked in Mexico.

Jenny Cudd's lawyers asked the US District Court for the District of Columbia on Monday to approve Cudd's request to travel outside the country.

The motion, seen by Insider, says Cudd "planned and prepaid for a weekend retreat with her employees for the dates of February 18 through February 21, 2021, in Riviera Maya, Mexico."

1. Yea you HAD plans but then you committed a crime

[Moostache]

2. Is THAT how it works now?

Judge: You are remanded to house arrest and must remain in the country pending trial...

Snowflake nutbag Nazi: But, I had plans....really your honor, I am trust-worthy and a good employer who planned international travel in the midst of a global pandemic to go to the beach, it would not be fair to make me stay home.


Christ...do these people even HEAR their asinine arguments before they speak?

3. i have to suspect a lot of these ppl

5. Hehehehe

yah think - they don't even know what is a serious crime

[mopinko]

6. still can wrap my mind around how that works.

8. Same here

My parents, grandparents and aunts taught us about consequences very early

4. he might let her go.

it doesn't say what the judge decided, or i missed it.

yeah. the rest of them can still go on her dime. she's committed a crime.

9. that's my thought... they will let her go...

A lot of these local federal judges don't seem to think this is any worse than rioting and trespass. They see a business owner with a legitimate pre-planned request and make the calculation she has more to lose staying there than returning.

But the excuse is more than a little thin, especially with covid. It's at best a small business. A few employees. They can all meet at their workplace. Travel is not a requirement.

7. Is she the one who had a Go Fund Me for her legal costs?

It's hard to keep up.

Edit: It was on "Give Send Go". I guess she wasn't willing to spend her vacation money on trying to stay out of prison.

A woman accused of participating in the Jan. 6 riot at the U.S. Capitol asked a federal judge for permission to leave the country on vacation later this month – and got it.

In a Monday court filing, lawyers for Jenny Louise Cudd requested the court's blessing to travel to Mexico's Riviera Maya from Feb. 18-21 for a prepaid "work-related bonding retreat" with her employees and their spouses.

Cudd, a small business owner in Midland, Texas, is currently on pretrial release after being charged with two misdemeanor offenses, including entering a federal building without permission and engaging in disorderly conduct.

The filing, obtained by USA TODAY, noted that Cudd has no prior criminal history and has remained in contact with her attorney and pretrial service officer, who had no objection to her proposed travel plan. Prosecutors took "no position" on the request. (snip)
