According to a Washington Post deep dive into the fall-out after a pro-Trump couple from the Portland area were exposed after harassing a reporter at the Million MAGA March in Washington, D.C., last November, the report notes that far-right extremists are increasingly finding themselves fired from their jobs and virtually unemployable after their names and faces are exposed by their victims.
As the Jan 6th Capitol insurrectionists are being rounded up by the FBI with the help of the public who are being provided with videos filmed during the riot after Trump's "Stop the Steal" speech, their future appears bleak even if they avoid jail time.

(28,979 posts)"When will I be free ... of my brain injury? When will I be free and full again?" the officer said in a written statement read by prosecutors at a federal court hearing Friday.
The unnamed police officer's statement adds to a growing chorus of law enforcement victims and their families calling for recognition of the severity of the attack by Trump supporters.
"On January 6, you and a group of others purposefully set out to break our police line," the officer said in the statement. "When you do that, when you set out with purpose in mind to hurt someone, it's not only an assault but a theft."
She added: "You stole months of me working alongside this country's most dedicated police officers. ... You've stolen my ability to be present."

(28,979 posts)A Trump supporter accused of storming the US Capitol and heckling police officers for "protecting pedophiles" previously served jail time after being convicted in the statutory rape of a 14-year-old girl, according to court records reviewed by CNN and lawyers involved in the cases.
Federal prosecutors say Sean McHugh of Auburn, California, fought with police as they fended off the massive mob of Trump supporters outside the Capitol on January 6. During the scuffle, McHugh was recorded by police body-worn cameras heckling the officers with a megaphone.
According to prosecutors' description of the footage, McHugh allegedly shouted, "You guys like protecting pedophiles?" "you're protecting communists," "I'd be shaking in your little s--t boots too," and, "there is a Second Amendment behind us, what are you going to do then?"
His comments about "pedophiles" are particularly striking, considering his criminal history.
McHugh was convicted in 2010 on a state charge of unlawful sex with a minor, according to California court records reviewed by CNN and lawyers involved in McHugh's cases. McHugh was sentenced to 240 days in jail -- though he served less -- and got four years of probation.

Defendant, who prosecutors say stormed Capitol in a QAnon shirt, says he 'fell victim' to conspiracies and was fed 'a pack of lies' by Trump
Douglas Jensen, an Iowa man who was indicted on several federal charges related to the January 6 insurrection, is seeking a release from custody ahead of his arraignment hearing, arguing that he "fell victim" to conspiracy theories.
The new request for release was issued ahead of Jensen's arraignment at a DC federal court on Tuesday. His attorney claimed that Jensen has been "languishing" in a DC jail for six months. He was arrested five months ago.

Prosecutors say that in several viral videos, Jensen can be seen in front of Capitol Police Officer Eugene Goodman, as well as other officers, amid one of the first waves of rioters to break into the Capitol. He's pictured sporting a T-shirt with a QAnon logo with an eagle in the center, accompanied by the group's slogan.

Thomas Robertson was also making visits to the nearby gun shop in order to fondle the guns he had recently purchased online. Not only did he violate the terms of his release (for the second time) but he also violated federal law in doing so.

The FBI found he had bought LOTS and LOTS of GUNS. He had purchased at least *THIRTY FOUR* guns online which he was keeping safe with a nearby licensed firearms dealer.
He also had a loaded M4 rifle on his bed.
