Feds say "not going to jail because I'm white" Jenna Ryan needs to go to jail

Jan. 6 'Influencer' Who Said She's 'Definitely Not Going To Jail' Should Go To Jail, Feds Say

Jenna Ryan, a Trump-loving real estate broker, called Jan. 6 "one of the best days of my life" and bragged that she wouldn't go to jail because she's white.

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 didn’t 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 doesn’t stop lying about us we’re going to come after their studios next...”

Ahead of Ryan’s 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.”

How did the doors she went through get busted down? Who broke the window she posed in front of?

What a fuckin' liar.

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.

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.

And accessory to attempted murder? What’s with the probation BS? I heard they knew they wouldn’t be shot at. How can anyone who went inside walk away with a misdemeanor?

Why would someone worry about going to jail before the fact if they thought what they were about to do was legal?

Yeah, she needs her attention got.

Sorry, sweetie, but they are for whites, too... especially ones who tried to violently overthrow the duly-elected United States government!

Paraphrasing because it’s been a while…he said the way to make a million dollars and not pay taxes is a three step procedure…make a million dollars, don’t pay taxes, then tell the IRS “I forgot.”
