A Kentucky nurse who said she was fired after participating in the Jan. 6 riot in the U.S. Capitol has been arrested by the FBI along with her husband, the agency announced Tuesday. Lori and Thomas Vinson, of Owensboro, are facing charges including impeding government conduct and knowingly entering a restricted area. In January, Lori Vinson told several local news stations that she indeed had participated in the insurrection, which she said cost her her job at the Evansville, Indiana hospital she worked at. The FBI showed up here and after speaking to me said youre not going to be hearing from me again, Lori Vinson told local ABC affiliate WEHT in January. Im not upset that I stood up for what I thought was right.

OP
That agent simply meant his investigation was complete and referred to the DOJ for prosecution.

Either is certainly possible.

Tough shit, Lori. You stood up for insurrection. You lose. Nurse your fellow inmates.

Her license will be revoked while she is in custody (maybe permanently). I may be wrong...

I wonder if they would also print the same response from a wife beater who imagined she was cheating on him, or a murderer who was sure that someone was doing him wrong?

She is a traitor and accessory to murder.
