Capitol rioter who asked to go on Mexican vacation hit with 5 new felony counts

[douglas9]

Early this week, Capitol rioter Jenny Cudd of Midland, Texas, asked the judge overseeing her case for a pass to go to Mexico on a work vacation. Cudd’s attorneys told the judge that she had already prepaid for the work retreat. It was a heartwarming story of white privilege and wacky delusions. Cudd is one of the Capitol insurgents who videotaped herself admitting to serious federal crimes, while committing said crimes. One of her self-shot videos includes this wide angle lens quote: "We did break down Nancy Pelosi's office door and somebody stole her gavel and I took a picture sitting in the chair flipping off the camera and that was on Fox News." At the time, Cudd was only charged with two misdemeanors and was released on a “personal recognizance bond,” hours after her arrest.

On Wednesday, Cudd, along with soon to be defendant Eliel Rosa, was indicted on five new criminal charges. Ruh? Those are felony charges. Ruh roh. Those counts include “corruptly obstructing an official proceeding of Congress; entering and remaining in a restricted building; committing disorderly or disruptive conduct in a restricted building; committing disorderly conduct in a Capitol building; and parading, demonstrating, or picketing in a Capitol building.” While the judge has yet to rule on whether or not Cudd can go on her Mexican holiday, the five felony indictments puts a big damper on the chance that she will be allowed to.

2. She shouldn't feel bad

She might get an all expenses paid trip out of it.

3. I wonder if her employees are still going to get to go on the work retreat

or if she will make all of them show up to work instead just out of spite. It's difficult to believe that Cudd can't get at least a partial refund for the travel and lodging even if it was prepaid. She is going to need that money for a good defense attorney.
