Federal prosecutors say an infamous Capitol attack defendant who traveled to Washington on a private plane and called Jan. 6 one of the best days of my life should spend time in prison, in part because she didnt think she would.
Jenna Ryan was arrested in January after she openly bragged about her exploits at the Capitol on social media, livestreaming on Facebook from inside the building and tweeting a photo of herself standing at a broken window, captioning it if the news doesnt stop lying about us were going to come after their studios next...
Ahead of Ryans sentencing this week, federal prosecutors said she should spend 60 days in prison because she knew the day could turn violent and said she was going to war, promoted violence at the Capitol, chanted hang Mike Pence, promoted violence against the news media, claimed she deserved a medal for what she did, spread false information about the riot, lied about her participation in the riot, and sought to exploit her presence during the attack on the Capitol for profit.
Prosecutors said Ryan had, for the past 10 years, promoted her personal brand, touting her success as a real estate broker, self-help coach, and media personality and then drew on her considerable experience as a social media influencer to promote violence before her arrival at the Capitol.

(1,364 posts)why does she owe $35,000 to the IRS? A successful real estate agent can easily pay the IRS $35,000. Evidently she is not that successful.

(65,010 posts)Perhaps her success is predicated on keeping all the money & not paying taxes!
The other possibility is that she lies about the level of her success.
Remember, she didn't pay for that private jet. Somebody else did, and she just hitched a rude.
