Isabella DeLuca’s “persecution” is now a cause célèbre.

In the three years since the Jan. 6 Capitol riot, more than 1,300 participants have been charged with crimes. But outside a few of the flashiest and most memorable characters from the day, most individual prosecutions have passed with little public note. Last Monday, however, the news of one arrest was met with more outrage: that of Isabella Maria DeLuca, a 24-year-old conservative influencer.

According to prosecutors, on Jan. 6, 2021, DeLuca—who was arrested on Friday—entered a set of conference rooms inside the Capitol building by climbing through a broken window. She then climbed back out and was one of several people who passed a table from a Senate terrace room to rioters outside the building. The FBI testified that rioters later used the table to attack Capitol Police.

Around 3 p.m. that day, she tweeted, “Fight back or let politicians steal an election? Fight back!” Later, according to the arrest warrant, she would express her hopes that Trump would enact martial law.

There were a lot of people there that day that all descended from the same family tree with not enough branches. Kind of hard to issue an arrest warrant for basic bitch number 67. Thankfully, most of the people are very proud and loud about their participation, so I assume we'll get trickles of these as old influencers get sent to jail and new influencers start bragging about their participation in attempts to take their place before they also get sent to jail, continuing the cycle of fuck around and find out.

Another reason Trump winning a second term would be a Bad Thing. He wins, and all those investigations disappear. Not to mention, I believe he’s said he’ll pardon everyone who was convicted.

He doesn't need them anymore, and they were stupid enough to get caught. I wouldn't be surprised if he left them to rot.

Feels like it could go either way. He could certainly do that, and there is a pattern of that behavior. He could also pardon them just as an “undoing any progress the dems have made” kind of move. Another pattern of behavior he has shown. I feel like Vegas should have odds on this.

He'll pull out the most violent and deranged for his personal shock troops and the most media savvy for his propaganda efforts. But yeah, most of them will be left hanging.
