Unrepentant MAGA morons who stormed the Capitol in an ill-fated attempt to overthrow the government are still out there. One such moron is former Beverly Hills spa owner Gina Bisignano, who was arrested days after the riot and pled guilty to four misdemeanor and two felony counts in exchange for "special considerations" at her pre-trial release. But Bisignano couldn't keep her Trumpist impulses under control, according to the Rolling Stone's Samuel Braslow (via Raw Story):
"According to the new report, she made an appearance in Washington D.C. on March 1 to provide testimony in a related case, with Braslow writing, 'Bisignano took a detour to a vigil held near the jail where several dozen alleged insurrectionists were awaiting their trials. There, she shared details of her testimony in an ongoing trial, spoke with a convicted Jan. 6 felon, and admitted to hanging out with other Jan. 6 participants. All of these were violations of the terms of her pre-trial release, and all of them — again — were caught on camera.' [snip]
'With questions surrounding Bisignano’s cooperation, in a May 4 hearing concerning her pretrial violations and plea deal, Judge Nichols allowed Bisignano to back out of the guilty plea for felony obstruction of an official proceeding. Bisignano’s usefulness as a witness had also come into question, with the judge presiding over a separate case in which she provided testimony describing Bisignano as a 'hot mess' and one of the worst witnesses she had ever seen take the stand,' the report states before adding, 'Ironically, the apparent latitude afforded to Bisignano by her judge has now placed her in more legal jeopardy, with a guilty verdict potentially delivering a higher sentence than she would have received as part of her deal with prosecutors.'" (our emphasis)
Perhaps this "hot mess" was counting on her cult leader winning the Presidency and pardoning her and the other insurrectionists, as he's promised to do. Or she's just going Full Metal MAGA in her delusional state of victimhood. Either way, it looks like she's dealt herself a worse hand in violating the terms of her original release and withdrawing the plea on felony obstruction of an official proceeding. Good.
