Brandon Straka sobbed in a fake cell at CPAC, while Marjorie Taylor Greene comforted him and said how unfair it was that a "nice" Neo Nazi like him has to be locked up in a fake cell... But it was a fake cell.
On the day of the riot, he was screaming that it was a violent revolution, and shouted that "patriots" should be "fighting". He called on rioters to kill members of Congress... Again, why is he in a fake cell, and not a real one?
He offered to give the police all the names he knew, and to testify against anyone else who was there. If you were on his mailing list, or accepted a ride on one of his busses, you were arrested. He was able to turn in everyone else, and get no prison time.
The alt right revolution will fail, over and over again, because it is made up of weak people. They are rebelling because they have been too weak to thrive, even though they have had every advantage. And they are failing, because they are weak.

https://www.yahoo.com/news/trevor-no...064635591.htmlTrevor Noah was blown away by a performance art exhibit at the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) in Dallas last week that featured a Jan. 6 rioter sobbing in a fake jail cell.
The CPAC exhibit featured Brandon Straka, a right-wing influencer who provided information to the FBI as part of a plea deal that kept him out of jail after the violent insurrection on the U.S. Capitol in 2021. At one point during the exhibit, Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) even entered the cell to pray with him.
“You would think a story like this couldn’t get any crazier,” “The Daily Show” host said. “But truly, the best part of the story is: This actor who played the defendant was an actual rioter on January 6, who reportedly avoided a prison sentence by snitching on the other rioters. So just so you understand: this dude is pretending to be a prisoner that he helped send to prison. Which is insane!”
“You snitched on your fellow rioters ― they go to jail ― and now you’re on the streets crying, ‘Man I wish there was something I could have done to stop them from going to jail,’” Noah added.

I don't want to help you too much in spotting the snitch, given where your "ideology" seems to be taking you, but when someone is charged with serious felonies, the charges are lowered to less serious felonies, then he get no prison time, everyone involved with him is caught, AND FINALLY THE PROSECUTOR ASKS FOR MORE TIME BEFORE SENTENCING TO MAKE SURE THE INFORMATION HE GAVE WAS ACCURATE... Then he is a snitch.

The people who Brandon turned in should have a heart-to-heart discussion with him one night. It wouldn't surprise me if Brandon is found at a roadside rest stop with a "self-inflicted" gunshot wound in the mouth blowing the back of his head off.....if he doesn't get shivved in prison first:

Judge Friedrich said the defendant, Brandon Straka, was possibly opening himself up to prosecution for lying to federal investigators.
"What he needs to appreciate is he is potentially incriminating himself for [18 U.S. Code Section] 1001 prosecution," said Friedrich, referring to the criminal law against making "materially false" statements to the federal government.
Straka, the founder of the conservative "#WalkAway" campaign, did not attend Wednesday's hearing and was represented by his attorney. By this point, his case has largely been resolved.
Back in Sept. 2021, he agreed to plead guilty to a misdemeanor charge of Engaging in Disorderly and Disruptive Conduct in the Capitol Building or Grounds. At sentencing, he avoided jail time, and instead received 90 days of home confinement and three years' probation.

The records described how Straka provided "significant information" about pro-Trump "Stop The Steal" organizers including Ali Alexander, Amy and Kylie Kremer, and Cindy Chafian. Prosecutors said Straka provided investigators with a voicemail he had received from another Jan. 6 defendant, and that evidence was "valuable in the government's prosecution." In another instance, the records say Straka helped identify yet another potential suspect who "was not previously identified by the FBI."
