Florida couple pleads guilty to participating in the U.S. Capitol attack

The Ocala couple join more than 350 people who have been charged with assaulting or impeding law enforcement on Jan. 6

Jamie Buteau, 50, and Jennifer Buteau, 46, both of Ocala, entered guilty pleas in District of Columbia federal court, according to court records. Jamie Buteau pleaded guilty to a felony offense of assaulting, resisting or impeding certain officers. Jennifer Buteau pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor offense of parading, demonstrating or picketing in a Capitol building. They’re scheduled to be sentenced Oct. 20.

According to court documents, the Buteaus joined with others in objecting to Joe Biden’s 2020 election victory over then-President Donald Trump. A mob stormed the Capitol to try to stop Congress from certifying election results for Biden over Trump, authorities have said, and five people died in the violence.

According to the criminal complaint, the Buteaus entered the U.S. Capitol building through the breached door and moved with a large mob to a lobby, where Capitol Police officers became overwhelmed. At some point, Jamie Buteau picked up a chair and threw it at officers. The chair bounced off the wall and hit one officer in the arm, the complaint states.

More than 1,000 people have been arrested in nearly all 50 states for alleged crimes related to the Capitol breach, according to officials. More than 350 people have been charged with assaulting or impeding law enforcement.

By the way, do tourists always bring confederate flags when they visit the capitol?

Now why would regular everyday tourists go and plead guilty to anything but taking only pictures and leaving only footprints?

Why isn’t Trump or DeSantis picking up the bill for attorneys to keep these definitely innocent folks from pleading guilty, lol? The DeSantis campaign has plenty of money but nothing worth spending it on. Why not spend it on attorneys for J6’s (so-called) “victims”?

Is it that a guilty plea is actually now a plea of innocence? According to some “news” outlets, YEP. sadface emoji, and the Maggas just keep falling for it.

1 died. A Hispanic female veteran. Unarmed. Killed while climbing through a window. Shot in the back of her neck by cowardly capital nazi policeman who has been protected by the Briben admin. What a joke that this article is gaslighting everyone to believe the BS that was spread to cover the murder. Read the real facts. This was the only actual death, and she was murdered by the nazis now in the White Crackhouse. Get your facts strait. If anyone doubts this, do your own research or STFU.

  The way it went down was that all the manly Maggas decided “they surely won’t shoot a lady.” The Magga “men” bet her life on that, and they shoved her through the door first to test their theory. They were wrong! Maggas are such strong and manly men.
