Jan6 Patriot Saw & Filmed No Violence Inside the Capitol, Later Arrested by FBI

Her Story of What She Experienced Revealed

“I am one of several hundred January 6th misdemeanor defendants. I was not charged with violence and I have zero criminal history,” posted Danean on her X account. “Let’s look at the financial costs of my case alone.”

“Your government extracted money from your paycheck to fund:

● The FBI agents who investigated, surveiled, interrogated, arrested and testified against me.

● The US Marshalls who held me in their custody on the day of my arrest and their facility.

● The local federal judge who presided over my initial hearing and her courthouse.

● My pre-trial release monitor I reported to every month for almost two years and his supervisors.

● The federal attorneys’ salaries and their staff who were transferred from around the country to DC to prosecute me. Their technical assistant they brought with them to court to ensure they could play their exhibits at trial.

● The federal public defenders and their staff who defended my case for almost two years in their taxpayer-funded buildings.

● My two public defenders’ travel, accommodations and per diems from California to DC twice.

● The security personnel who screened everyone involved in my trial to enter the DC courthouse.

● The DC judge who presided over my case and her clerk.

● The court reporter who documented my trial.

● The staff who entered my court transcripts into the public record.

● The multitude of prison staff who were in charge of me for 78 days.

● All of my meals, the maintenance of the prison I was housed in, then the ride to the BART, the BART fare, then the flight and taxi ride home from prison.

● My supervised release monitor the last year I’ve spent on supervised release, plus the random drug tests, the monthly online reports to DC, the check-ins with my monitor, etc.

(I’m sure I’m leaving a lot out.)

When you add it all up, think about how much we taxpayers have paid for each misdemeanor J6 defendant. Now multiply these costs by several hundred. It is insane.”

Danean said that by the time she reached the Capitol lawn and building she could see people (who she now realizes were plants) coaxing them on forward to go into the building. She went towards what she refers to as the “three arches”:

Where the red flag is on the right, she explains there is a handicap ramp that starts there and goes to the center arch, where the entry door is. Behind the left and right arches are windows. Before she ever arrived, the right window had been busted.

Danean remembers how strange it was that so many people in the crowd at the Capitol had brought small cartons of milk with them. So some who were hit with pepper spray would immediately use the milk to get the spray out of their stinging eyes. She believes this could have been some of those operatives planted by the FBI (perhaps even agents themselves) who were leading and encouraging patriots to go into the Capitol.

Video shows that by the time she reached the door at the three arches and entered the Capitol, police in the background were friendly and everyone was respectful to each other. She even took a video of one officer fist-bumping with a patriot.

In June 2024, she posted:

“Almost three years later, it still blows me away that the FBI used a screenshot from my video of a protester fist-bumping a Capitol Police officer in my Statement of Facts.
