Her Husband Boasted That She Became ‘Speaker of the House’ on Jan. 6. Now She’s Been Sentenced to a Year of Probation

Nicole Prado, 30, spent around 20 minutes inside the Capitol on Jan. 6, when scores of Donald Trump supporters overran police to breach the building in order to stop Congress from certifying Joe Biden‘s win in the 2020 presidential election.

-----------

In investigating Prado’s role in the Capitol attack, the FBI discovered a private Instagram conversation about Prado between two then-unidentified people that took place on Jan. 7.

“[They] ain’t gonna go after Nicole,” one of the users, who is unidentified in FBI documents, said in a private Instagram conversation.

Prado’s husband was similarly effusive of Prado’s participation in the Capitol breach.

“Please meet the new Congresswoman…she was in the Capitol…She stormed the Capitol… She’s the Speaker of the House,” her husband said in a video posted to Instagram after she left the Capitol building.

1. Proud of his own special 'insurrectionist!'

No different than IQ45's pride in his arrogance.

2. Link didn't work for me

I wanted to see how long her sentence was.

Any idea?

TYIA!

[nuxvomica]

8. Thx!

Insufficient, imo.

[bucolic_frolic]

4. All the publicity they sought - it was like a MAGAT VACATION to them

Kinda touristy, amiright?

[2naSalit]

11. Like a day at Six Flags!

[CaptainTruth]

22. Where they beat police officers with the flags.

[COL Mustard]

15. Yes, in a

Normal political discourse kind of way!

[Generic Brad]

5. Can she become Speaker of the Big House?

Because that’s where she’s destined to wind up.

[Scrivener7]

6. A year of probation. They're teaching them to do it again.

[SheltieLover]

9. Absofuckingloutely!

[OldBaldy1701E]

10. Yep. (n/t)

[durablend]

18. "Buh Gosh! Never could've predicted they'd do it again!"

[nolabear]

7. I was hoping she'd become Speaker of the Big House

[2naSalit]

12. I'd satisfied with...

Speaker of her own cell.

[Hortensis]

13. Only 20 minutes inside suggests she was feeling more like a felon. nt

[SunSeeker]

14. A $500 fine?! That's it? No jail at all?!

WTF.

She was in the Capitol when Ashley Babbitt was shot and actually filmed her getting taken out by paramedics.

In California, a carpool lane ticket is $490.

[oldsoftie]

21. Hopefully her actions will follow her into her work life.

I certainly wouldn't want her working for MY company......

[reACTIONary]

24. It was 700+$ and 500 restitution. Nt

[SunSeeker]

25. $1300 is still nothing. Do you think it's fair that she got ZERO jail time?

$1300 does not even begin to compensate the public for the damage done. These insurrectionists caused over $30 Million in damage to the Capitol. https://www.npr.org/sections/insurrection-at-the-capitol/2021/02/24/970977612/architect-of-the-capitol-outlines-30-million-in-damages-from-pro-trump-riot

She was an accomplice and collaborator.

[reACTIONary]

26. I was just making note of a fact, not making a judgement call.

And she was more than an accomplice, she was a perpetrator.

[SunSeeker]

27. I know, that's why I'm asking if you think her sentence was fair.

[Lonestarblue]

16. I do not understand the light sentences many of these people have gotten.

She may not have damaged anything personally, but her intent was to help overturn the election by being inside the Capitol—aiding and assisting an insurrection. Skin color may not be an issue here, but it surely seems possible that the sentences and fines would have been much more serious had this whole group been black. The jail sentence for having marijuana can be much worse.

[Farmer-Rick]

19. The light sentences are due to the fact

That the real cause of the insurrection and traitorous behavior is Not being held to account.

Even this woman's lawyer used that in her case.

"Robin (her lawyer) also said that the people “most responsible for Jan. 6” are people “in positions of power” who engaged in misinformation campaigns, and that they are the ones who need to be held accountable for the events of that day."

These Congress members who joined in the planning, the president who blabbered about "the big lie" and encouraged everyone to put him in as dictator, The Dept of Justice and FBI who knew the plans were being made and encouraged it, And Fox noise, Q and other communication outlets that encouraged the attack and spread the word. Why aren't any of them held to account?

Prosecute a few of them, especially the ones who took an oath to the Constitution, then you will see more appropriate punishment for levying war against their own country.

[oldsoftie]

20. Speaking of "Q", why hasn't the govt done more to find out just WHO that is?

I have a feeling most of it comes from foreigners; Russia & China mostly, who are doing a GREAT job at dividing everyone.
But it seems like we would be able to KNOW where its coming from

[The Jungle 1]

17. She is a treasonous filthy hag.

We will never forget this republican treason.

[CaptainTruth]

23. Convict them of felonies when possible so they can't own guns or vote.

I know state laws vary, I'm not sure about these specific charges. If felony probation means she can't vote while on probation, & thus can't vote in the midterms, I'm all for it.
