Department of Justice prosecutors are seeking a 120-day jail sentence for Infowars host Owen Shroyer for ‘speech crimes’ related to January 6th.
Politico senior legal affairs reporter Kyle Cheney shared a court document saying “Shroyer spread election disinformation paired with violent rhetoric to hundreds of thousands, if not millions, of viewers.”
“And, on January 6, 2021, Shroyer took to a megaphone before leading a crowd to the Capitol,” the document read.
“He continued marching around to the top of the east steps chanting ‘1776!,’ where rioters would eventually violently breach the Capitol and its police line and halt the transfer of presidential power. Shroyer did not step foot inside the Capitol, he did not need to; many of those who listened to him did instead,” the document continued.
“Shroyer helped created January 6. The government respectfully requests that this Court sentence him to 120 days of incarceration, 12 months of supervised release, 60 hours of community service, and $500 in restitution,” the document read.
