An Arkansas man who was photographed during the Jan. 6 riot with his feet on a desk in then-House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s office, was found guilty on all counts Monday after brief jury deliberations.

Richard Barnett faced eight charges stemming from the insurrection, including theft of government property. He said repeatedly in court last week that he regretted what transpired at the Capitol that day but did not consider his actions illegal.

After the verdict, Barnett told reporters outside the court courthouse, “This is not a jury of my peers. I don’t agree with the decision, but I do appreciate the process and we are surely going to appeal.”

Barnett's attorney, Joseph McBride, agreed with his client, saying Washington, D.C.’s political composition is not like the rest of the United States and that, coupled with Jan. 6 media coverage, “eviscerated any chance of a fair trial.” Barnett is scheduled to be sentenced on May 3.

Original article -

An Arkansas man who was photographed during the Jan. 6 riot with his feet on a desk in then-House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s office, was found guilty on all counts Monday after brief jury deliberations.

Richard Barnett faced eight charges stemming from the insurrection, including theft of government property. He said repeatedly in court last week that he regretted what transpired at the Capitol that day but did not consider his actions illegal.

Barnett appears in images from the riot reclining in a chair in the speaker's office, with his feet propped up, and what the government referred to as a “stun device” tucked in his pants. Before leaving Pelosi’s office, Barnett took an envelope that he later displayed for cameras outside the Capitol.

In court Friday, before the case was handed to the jury, Assistant U.S. Attorney Michael Gordon pored over Barnett’s version of Jan. 6 and poked holes in his testimony, visibly angering Barnett. Barnett, who a day earlier had said he would apologize to Pelosi, D-Calif., if she were in court, admitted during cross-examination that when a police officer told him he needed to leave her office he replied: “You need to give up communism.”

1. Great

[Traildogbob]

23. Marginal Trailer Queen

Gonna be way too busy now with all her committees to go take a knee and pray with all these traitors one at a time in jail cells for photo ops. Ya think trumps coming? Sorry suckers, you were used. Fuck all of you. FreeDumb ain’t free!!!!

[sheshe2]

2. Excellent

[Deuxcents]

3. I love good news like "guilty" for these insurrection trials

[Beachnutt]

4. How much prison time will he get ?

[Auggie]

9. Could be "up to 87 months in prison" ...

according to this Time article from last June: https://time.com/6133336/jan-6-capitol-riot-arrests-sentences/

Sentencing still awaits, I believe.

[RockRaven]

5. Get fucked, traitor!

Should've made a plea deal, dumbass!

[niyad]

6. INSURRECTION, not "riot". Do, please, try, nbc.

[Evolve Dammit]

33. "Coup"??

[Stuart G]

7. Well, Well, & Well..Another one who was absolutely sure that he would get away with it. He was so

sure that he NEVER considered the consequences of doing what he did. Why?..........

He was absolutely sure that there would never ba any consequences at all..

I wonder where he got that opinion?.....His hero:....Mr. Donald Trump?

..........Nah....It couldn't have been from that source? ...Could it have been?....

[Escurumbele]

12. Most criminals don't have the ability to measure consequences, they just look at the end goal

The criminal mind works in very different ways.

[RussBLib]

16. most criminals ain't too smart

If they were smart, they probably wouldn't need to break the law.

And that, "you need to give up communism" comment. That is just so patently stupid. These poorly educated schmucks label anything "communist" they don't understand or agree with.

[TexasBushwhacker]

36. Most criminals expect to not get caught

As for this dude, he couldn't define "Communism" if it was tattooed on his hands.

[Pinback]

20. Well, "he regrets what transpired at the Capitol that day"

What more do you want? He’s sorry if anyone was offended by his statements, or his feet on the desk, or by the envelope that crawled into his hand. The Capitol became attacked — some innocent tourists got caught up in the events of the day. Most unfortunate happenstance.

Now he has become convicted. Oh well, thoughts and prayers.

24. Thanks for that link. Absolute BS how light of sentances these Trump humpers are getting

Look at the statement they made in court,most would do it all over again if given the chance. Many get no jail time,many get a couple of weeks and some probation and a fine.

Yeah...as many say THEY were a PART of something,and they knew exactly what that something was and how GD illegal it was.

[Princess Turandot]

8. This guy kept looking over at the jury and smiling during his testimony..

...as if to establish a rapport with them. I'm guessing that none of them were in the mood for a-holes who think they were getting over on them.

Per Scott MacFarlane, who was in the courtroom during the trial, Barnett is now wailing about not having a 'jury of his peers'.

Excellent news!

[smb]

10. Sorry, We Couldn't Find Twelve Complete And Utter Morons nt

[LiberalFighter]

14. If he wants a jury of his peers he should move somewhere else.

[iluvtennis]

11. No mention of what the sentencing will be ...uggh. n/t

[BumRushDaShow]

17. They might not schedule a sentencing hearing until months from now.

[Mr.Bill]

27. After all the appeals,

sentencing will probably happen sometime during the Santos administration.

[BumRushDaShow]

28. LOL

The article was updated or a May 3rd sentencing. That starts the clock on the way to the Santos Administration (assuming Santos is willing to grift for the guy's defense without keeping it all for himself).

[LiberalFighter]

13. I hope Trump is providing legal aid to them. Or do I?

[Mr.Bill]

39. Trump doesn't pay his own lawyers.

Why would he pay someone else's?

[LiberalFighter]

41. We can always hope that whatever he does is the wrong thing and impacts him negatively.

[JustAnotherGen]

15. These are

The FA & FO Times!

[Botany]

18. Proud to be stupid and vulgar.

Trump, Fox News, Hate Talk Radio, Social Web Sites, and Russian disinformation filled his head for years and
now he gets to get really old and or die in prison. Good.

[rubbersole]

21. Psst...

Just a tip, Bigo - try not to stick your tongue out in prison.

[FakeNoose]

25. Yeah, Chump has only the best people in his cult

[Justice matters.]

29. Yeah, he's gonna get free food and free rent from the "Communist" government

for years (or months - or weeks - or days...) behind bars!

[PatSeg]

19. He sure looks different in a suit and a tie

though those clothes look brand new. I can't imagine he had anything like that in his closet.

These MAGA folks seem to take pride in looking like total slobs. I think in their little brains, they confuse slovenly with manly.

[Marthe48]

22. Wonder if they'll ever run out henchmen to charge and jail?

And move up to the criminal minds who encouraged them?

[calimary]

26. Put yer filthy feet on THAT, asshole.

You’re not such a “Bigo” now, peewee.



Fucker. I feel nothing but contempt for jerks like him. And I don’t believe him when he says he’s sorry. With jerks like him, I bet he’s just sorry he got caught.

[msfiddlestix]

30. So the Prosecutors and the Jury did their jobs. Why was he allowed to hold a full court press

and not handcuffed taken to the cell?

He's a domestic terrorists. that's been established. now, why is he free?

[Glaisne]

31. May he rot in prison.

He needs to give up Fascism.

[3catwoman3]

32. He shouldn't have any trouble finding the bathroom...

...in his cell.

[republianmushroom]

34. like it

are you still having fun, all laughs and happy dude ?

[LudwigPastorius]

35. "...he regretted what transpired at the Capitol that day but did not consider his actions illegal."

Will he ever realize that reality exists whether he acknowledges it or not?

Maybe shit will get real for him when his cell door clanks closed at the federal pen.

[Aussie105]

37. This is why critical thinking skills need to be taught in schools.

You know, what might others think of my behavior, what might the consequences be?

Well, he missed out if it happened at all in his edu-mecation. Or at home as a child in fact.

Do dumb-shit things, get dumb-shit rewards.

[llashram]

38. just because trump

is an ex-potus he walks around poisoning the feeble minds of his followers and is one of the 'greatest' conmen-thief to ever gain the presidency is 2 years+ still walking free. Yeah, when he's jailed I will start to believe 'influential' alleged rich white men can face justice.

[question everything]

40. All of a sudden he "appreciates the process" but not the process of transferring power?

[maxrandb]

42. If her was convicted, why is he giving a press briefing outside the courthouse?

Should have been immediately taken into custody.

[BumRushDaShow]

43. The Judge let him remain free (with conditions) until his sentencing

44. Was this the chud

who was showing off his Pelosi letter or envelope or whatever outside, grinning and posting with it, and said "I left a quarter on her desk"? If so, is he 12 years old?

[BumRushDaShow]

45. Yup and acts like it despite being 50 years older than that

and after his arrest and detention, he had been whining about the conditions.
