I don't remember the full story, but I know he was harassed and investigated for, I think, years.

I think his defense was that he was a journalist, doing journalist stuff. He was working for The Blaze at the time.

Is is it possible that feds declined to arrest a right wing provocateur because he worked for the Blaze?

edit: another Blaze reporter was arrested for J6 trespassing, 4 misdemeanors, but in early 2024

But CHARGED in 2021.

Same reporter asserts this:

40% of the 80-100 other media who entered the Capitol that day also had no credentials. NONE. They were podcasters, bloggers, and social media influencers. You don’t know that because, A) your wanton ignorance, and B) because they weren’t charged.

Even the “credentialed” journalists were breaking the law by entering a restricted space without law enforcement permission.

And I did no “rioting.” You are ignorant and a liar.

Yeah and he actually calls it a revolution and refers to his fellow revolutionaries, so I'm not buying the explanation that he wasn't arrested because he was a journalist.

Edit: Sounds like fed shit to me and they told him to use the term "revolution"
