Supporters of President Donald Trump climb the west wall of the the U.S. Capitol on in Washington on Jan. 6. | AP Photo/Jose Luis MaganaA federal judge sentenced Jan. 6 rioter Frank Scavo, a Donald Trump supporter from Pennsylvania, to 60 days in prison on Monday — one of the harshest sentences doled out to a misdemeanor defendant and more than four times what prosecutors initially sought.
The prosecution played several videos that highlighted Scavo’s role at the event to show he was aware of the “bedlam” occurring as he chanted, recorded video and spoke with other crowd members. While in the building, he took a video of himself saying, “This is top-secret shit. We’re in the Capitol. Stormed the fucking Capitol of the fucking United States at 58 years old,” according to filings in the case.
However, Lamberth said he had to recognize that through Scavo’s and other rioters’ actions, the event “brought the government to a screeching halt that day. The consequence to the nation … has to be weighed in the balance.” “Your little memo the other day caused great problems for me,” he continued. “He was careful in what he said today but that is a problem. How he stood there on those steps not realizing and turning around and leaving then is still a problem.”
