in May after he failed to convince jurors that he didn’t know that Congress met at the Capitol, a claim he made on the stand to avoid a conviction for obstruction of Congress.
Judge McFadden said Hale-Cusanelli"absolutely knew" that Congress met at the Capitol, noting that he had even told his roommate that he was outside of the House of Representatives on Jan. 6. McFadden also said he was"appalled" by Hale-Cusanelli's language to a female officer on Jan. 6, in which he called her an unprintable word.
"I disgraced my uniform and I disgraced the country," he said."I do say ugly things" that are"repugnant" in the eyes of many, he said. He assured the judge that he would"never see my face in court after this" and that the time he spent in solitary confinement had changed who he was. "A student of history and government who had previously explained the intricacies of Presidential election procedure to his friends, Hale-Cusanelli falsely testified at trial that he did not know that: 'Congress' sat in the Capitol building; the Electoral College Certification Proceeding was taking place in the building; and when he entered the Capitol, members of Congress were still there, having fled and hidden from the mob," they wrote."Hale-Cusanelli lied on the stand.
