U.S. District Judge Trevor McFadden is scheduled to sentence Speed on May 8 for his role in a mob’s attack on the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021.McFadden convicted Speed of all five charges in his indictment, including a felony count of obstructing an official proceeding, the Jan. 6 joint session of Congress for certifying the Electoral College vote. The judge also convicted Speed of four misdemeanors.
Speed was “deeply worried about a Biden presidency” and believed false claims that the 2020 presidential election had been stolen from on riot-related misdemeanor charges. A grand jury later indicted him on the felony obstruction charge. “In other words,” prosecutors wrote, “because Speed thought he succeeded in obstructing the certification, he left the U.S. Capitol Building.”
During the recorded conversations, Speed also “outlined a plan to enlist Christians to wipe out the country’s entire Jewish population.”“To defeat the Jewish threat and topple the government, Speed told the that a violent response was necessary — and that the Jews stood in the way,” prosecutors wrote.
