He'll have plenty of time to kick back with his feet up now. Hope it was worth it
The charges (because none of the big names decided to actually list them) he was convicted of:

civil disorder,
obstruction of an official proceeding & aiding and abetting, (up to 20 years)
entering and remaining in a restricted building or grounds with a deadly or dangerous weapon,
disorderly and disruptive conduct in a restricted building or grounds with a deadly or dangerous weapon,
entering and remaining in certain rooms in a capitol building,
disorderly conduct in a capitol building,
parading, demonstrating, or picketing in a capitol building,
theft of government property.

I was unable to find how much time he could and/or is likely to get because who would want to know that (f'n news).  Please list if you can find it somewhere >

The news doesn't break it down because it's a bit difficult and also depends on the judge.
There are federal sentencing guidelines that use a matrix that includes the offense and criminal background.  Like this.
So, going off the offense level and criminal history, the judge decides the sentence, but the guidelines are just guidelines.  Prosecutors often ask for an upward departure, while defense attorneys often ask for a downward departure.
According to the sentencing manual, the highest level charge, 18 USC 1512(c)(2), has a base level offense of 14.  If he doesn't have any criminal history (I don't know either way), that would be 15-21 months.  However, as I said before, the judge will consider the severity, the other criminal convictions in this case, and other factors.  It's incredibly difficult to try and pin down even a range.
Edit: the sentencing manual for that crime sets some statutory maximums under certain conditions, but no statutory minimums, from what I can see. >

Thank you for this.  You see what I mean though?  From 'up to 20 years' to maybe 1.5+.  The 'up to' starts to be meaningless at a certain point because even I know there's no way the sentence is going to be even close to this. >

Right but wasn’t his plea deal five years, and he refused it? So wont his sentence likely be longer than five years now? Especially since they added the extra charge recently. >

Kinda depends if him and his lawyers thought that there was no way a judge would sentence him to five years. It really well could be under five years, doesn’t seem like they gave him a really tempting plea deal. Depends totally on his priors and basically what the judge feels is right for the case. There are maximums on those crimes but no minimums. >

He's been an arrogant ass throughout and his lawyer said it was unfair because he didn't get a "jury of his peers" from Arkansas lmao.  These aren't the brightest bulbs, I'm betting he gets more than the 5 plea bargain. >

So his attorney doesn’t understand that he did not commit his crimes in Arkansas? Attorney is scared that a D.C. jury will have some functioning brain cells and be capable of using them unlike his client. >

Attorney is just doing his job to try to find any possible angle to do what the client is paying him to do. I'm sure the attorney perfectly understands that, but has to try SOMETHING. You don't keep your license to practice (and/or don't get good Google reviews) if you walk in the courtroom and say "Right your honor, my client is a real knob end and you should just lock him up so we can go to lunch". >

Right, but the angle the attorney is spouting has no legal basis whatsoever and only plays well on right-wing news. The attorney's job is to find and exploit a legal technicality if they have to but this guy seems to be grasping at straws. >

When your case is indefensible, then all you can do is grasp at straws. >


Barnett’s lawyers have also argued that Barnett wrote the word “biatch,” not “b***h,” which they said was “slang” and “less offensive.”

Um… OK. >

To be fair to the lawyers, they are required to provide a best-effort defense for their client.
...This is the best effort defense, which makes it not just funny, but lawyer-level funny. >

I love that it reads like an excuse that a high schooler would make if they called their teacher a "biatch" and got in trouble for it. Even the lawyer who thought it up must have been privately chuckling about it. >

The episode of Boondocks were the teacher claims he said-a not -er. >

A lot of what they did was, like the 'smoking with cigarettes'' kid. >

The booty warrior is a real person as well >

As funny as "The eaaaasy whay or duh hawd whay" is, I was always just a little put off that he was a real dude talking about raping real dudes. >

Commentary on the us judicial system where you can steal a car, get 3 months, and this dude is your celly >

Sounds like he hired the right lawyer - blamed everyone involved in the sentence for being under Democratic mind control. >

It’s amazing how these people can’t grasp that no one agrees with what they’ve done. They still think they’re right 🤯 >

Party of personal responsibility in action.
"It's everyone else's fault I'm a total POS!" >

Was this the dude that shaved his beard thinking they wouldn't be able to find him? 🤣 >

There’s probably been a lot of the traitormagas that have done that lmfao. >


During the trial, Barnett testified he was pushed into the Capitol during the riot and was looking for a place to use the restroom inside the building, admiring all the artwork along the way. Barnett was combative with prosecutors during his testimony, and prosecutors later accused him of lying and being “belligerent.”
“I wasn’t part of that protest, I was pushed in,” Barnett said during his testimony, where he described himself as “hyper.”

Press X to doubt >

Almost like he has zero remorse and never considered the consequences of his action as before or after the event and how a mob overthrowing an election might be bad for democracy. >

This is what happens when people go their whole lives never being told to shut the fuck up and get the fuck out. 
Tell racist family they're dicks sooner. >

He's really hoping the justice system is as stupid and gullible as he is. >

Well, let’s face it, he sort of has a point because look who they just elected as their governor in Arkansas. Plus, look what happened on her first day in office…tackling the tough issues in Arkansas. >

As an Arkansawyer, it's just a travesty that dumb motherfuckers voted in that uneducated bitch, she won't do any good for this state but she'll be lauded for "putting up with libruls." Fucking dumb >

As someone not from Arkansas, what’s up with the current governor that brought upon this comment? >

She's a Trump stooge that doesn't live in Arkansas. She doesn't have our best interest at heart, she's just trying to push an agenda that most people here don't agree with, starting with education, including BULLSHIT no one really cares about but "republicans," critical race theory and getting rid of the phrase "LatinX" are not serious issues, they're just talking points that matter to no one. >

I’ve only heard or seen the word “LatinX” maybe three times. Every time it was when Republicans were yelling about it. >

Complaining that DC isn't a 'State' and it is full of 'Biden Voters'.
Dude, FEDERAL crimes and those Biden voters are American citizens JUST LIKE YOU. The fact that you are an asshole notwithstanding, I hope you get the full award of years to serve.
Definition of "Found Out". >

Do your criming somewhere else if you don’t like the DC jury pool. I am sure if I went to Alabama and helped a woman exercise her autonomy over her own body in the form of an abortion I couldn’t get the trial moved to NY because “Alabama is full of abortion haters!”
