Federal prosecutors, who are trying to keep one of the most recognizable faces from the Jan. 6 siege in jail ahead of trial, released a picture of the note the suspect left in Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s office. Prosecutors called him a “ticking time bomb” that presents a clear danger to the community.

In an 18-page motion filed in U.S. District Court in Washington, D.C., prosecutors implored the court to deny a bail request from Richard “Bigo” Barnett, the man infamously photographed inside Speaker Pelosi’s office leaning back in the chair with his feet on a desk and a stun gun disguised to look like a walking stick in his pants. One of the icons from the insurrection, Barnett also stole a piece of mail from Pelosi’s office and claimed to have left her a note.

“’Nancy, Bigo was here, you bitch.’ Those are the words of the defendant (using his preferred nickname) in his message to Congresswoman and Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi on January 6, 2021, when he invaded and occupied her office during a mass siege of the U.S. Capitol that halted constitutional proceedings and required the evacuation of members of Congress and the then-Vice President,” prosecutors wrote in the first words of the filing. “At the time, the defendant was outfitted with a stun gun purchased for the occasion, and he went on to pose for a photographer, confront officers, give an interview with a reporter, and take to a bullhorn to rile up the crowd. He then returned to his home in Arkansas, where he hid or destroyed evidence.”

“Peace is no longer given a chance,” Barnett’s attorney Joseph D. McBride memorably wrote. “Common ground is out of sight. Our Constitution—an inspired document, drafted during times like these, foreseeing times like these—can only save us.”

It’s his attempt at “bitch” and he admits this is what he wrote in a recorded statement. It’s in the bond hearing opposition. See pg. 7.

Of course, Trad busy doing Trad things like minimizing the conduct of a guy charged with 7 criminal counts.

He’s lucky there’s no felony murder count.
