Prosecutors won't oppose Jan. 6 defendant Rebecca Lavrenz's request for permission to attend Trump's inauguration

I wonder how many of Trump's Jan 6th insurrectionists will be in the Jan 20th crowd??




Here’s a first: Prosecutors won’t oppose Jan. 6 defendant Rebecca Lavrenz’s request for permission to attend Trump’s inauguration — in part because her daughter worked on the Trump campaign and is helping set up the stage for Trump’s swearing in.

U.S. Capitol surveillance camera footage shows Rebecca Lavrenz entering the building on Jan. 6, 2021, according to the Justice Department.

A Colorado bed-and-breakfast operator who promotes herself online as the “J6 praying grandma” was sentenced on Monday to six months of home confinement in her Capitol riot case after the judge railed against “offensive” comments she has made about the criminal justice system.

Prosecutors had sought 10 months behind bars for Rebecca Lavrenz, 72, whose misdemeanor case has become a cause célèbre among conservatives critical of the Justice Department's Jan. 6 prosecutions. Prosecutors accused her of “profiting off the celebrity of her conviction" with an slew of media appearances questioning the integrity of the court system and the jurors who convicted her.


Magistrate Judge Zia Faruqui told Lavrenz that while hers is among the less serious Jan. 6 cases, “it's still a grave offense.” Raising his voice at times, the judge sounded incredulous as he pressed her lawyers about her media comments denouncing the Jan. 6 prosecutions as “fake trials” and D.C. jurors as biased. .........................
