Federico Klein, a former Trump appointee who participated in the J6 insurrection, was sentenced to 70 months in prison:
Federico Klein, 45, was convicted in July on 12 charges, including assaulting officers and obstructing an official proceeding.
Prosecutors said Klein was in the first wave of rioters to enter a Capitol tunnel on 6 January 2021.
“You can’t stop this!” he said, wedging open doors with a stolen police shield.
The former Marine spent more than an hour pushing against the line of officers and encouraged others to attack police, according to evidence at trial.
At the time, Klein was working as a South America specialist at the state department, a post he was appointed to by the Trump administration in 2017.
There’s speculation that Klein felt he needed to commit these crimes to keep his job. That sure didn’t work out for him.
Well, at least he’ll have lots of time to become friends with the other cockroaches.
