Matthew Bledsoe is guilty on each and every count. The government’s track record at jury trial in Jan. 6 cases remains flawless.

Most eyes at the DC federal courthouse are on the Steve Bannon trial.

But elsewhere in the building, there’s a Jan. 6 defendant who had a pretty rough time when he took the stand in his own defense and was just buried by the evidence he generated. https://nbcnews.com/politics/justice-department/loudmouth-capitol-riot-defendant-rough-day-jan-6-jury-trial-rcna39301…

Truly amazing moment during Matthew Bledsoe's testimony yesterday was when he insisted not only that he didn't hear the door alarm going off on Jan. 6, but that he didn't hear it when they played his own video in court that featured the door alarm blaring.

Matthew Bledsoe, who scaled a wall before entering the Capitol building through a door with broken glass panels, tried to convince jurors that he thought he was allowed inside.

'Loudmouth' Capitol rioter convicted after rough day in Jan. 6 jury trial

Bledsoe argued that he was unaware that Congress was certifying Joe Biden's 2020 election win when he stormed the Capitol. Despite having received updates from his wife and brother about congressional proceedings inside the Capitol on the day of the riot, he told jurors that he had no idea what lawmakers were doing. Former President Donald Trump’s speech at the Ellipse, which preceded the riot, also mentioned the electoral college certification process.

As he entered the Capitol through a door with broken glass panels, Bledsoe filmed himself saying, "Where are those pieces of s--- at." Alarms were blaring in the background of the video.

"Who were the pieces of s---?" Assistant U.S. Attorney Jamie Carter asked Bledsoe Wednesday. Bledsoe said he was "being a loudmouth," insisting he was not referring to lawmakers but rather the people whom he believed at the time had stolen an election.

Carter then showed an image that Bledsoe had reposted on social media that depicted members of Congress hunkered down inside the House amid the riot, with a caption suggesting that politicians should be scared.

1. Another one bites the dust

2. Genius thinks he can lie his way out of it

5. "I don't hear that alarm you can clearly hear in my video. Nope, not at all."

I would have loved to see the jury's expressions when he said that.

6. I think we are reaching a critical mass of stupidity in this country

7. It's an arrogant ignorance.

They're too stupid to know how stupid they are. No curiosity. They believe they're just inherently smarter than everyone else, and everyone else should accept what they spew as being the truth.

It's really pathological.

8. Well at least this guy will have plenty of time to think about it in prison

Another guilty verdict,the government's track record at jury trial in Jan. 6 cases remains flawless.
