Federal informant, and still get 22 years?? Congrats on playing yourself, Ricky!

My understanding was that the informant bit didn't really help him out because he stopped being an informant and then the January 6th riots happened.

So he'd stopped supplying them with information before he then committed treason. So it isn't as if they just weren't appreciative of the information supplied, the information supplied had nothing to do with why he was arrested.

Interesting. I thought that he had got himself arrested on minor charges before the 6th, to have an excuse not to be there. I assumed that was encouraged by the FBI. Sounds like he was hedging his bets, and lost it all anyway. Either way, I'm laughing at him!
