"I shouldn't have placed my feet on the work area," Richard "Bigo" Barnett told attendants while affirming in his own protection on revolt related crime allegations. "At the time I thought it was entertaining," he said, however presently it simply appears "rough."

Photos of a grinning Barnett leaning back in a seat with his feet up on a work area in Pelosi's office, and what the public authority alluded to as a "shock gadget" wrapped up his jeans, turned into probably the most famous pictures of the mob.

Barnett's legal counselor, Joseph McBride, laid out an image Thursday of his client as a cleared up in the man swarm and had not a chance of turning around prior to being driven into the State house. Barnett affirmed that going inside the structure was "against his sense" and contrasted the involvement in being in a fantasy.

Barnett likewise let members of the jury know that he hadn't purposefully searched out Pelosi's office. He said he'd been searching for a washroom and had thumped courteously on the way to the California leftist's office prior to being cleared inside by different agitators.

He said he didn't understand it was Pelosi's office until he got an envelope with her name on it, which he said he exposed of interest.

Barnett recognized leaving her a "dreadful note." It read, "Nancy, Bigo was here," and finished with a misogynist exclamation to allude to Pelosi. Barnett said he lamented utilizing the word.

The second thoughts, in any case, were a long ways from Barnett's underlying response subsequent to leaving the State house, when he boasted about his activities to a New York Times columnist. He let the columnist know that he took an Envelope from the work area and left Pelosi a quarter in return, despite the fact that "she ain't f — — worth the effort."

During questioning Thursday, Associate U.S. Lawyer Michael Gordon inquired as to whether there was anything more he lamented about Jan. 6.

"I lament the lack of respect I displayed to the officials," he said. "I lament that the entire situation occurred."

He likewise rejected that he had any information at the time about the discretionary vote counting process occurring that day in Congress.

Gordon then, at that point, showed the jury a Jan. 6 special picture that Barnett shared on Facebook in front of the mob which read: "Activity Possess THE State house."

"I thought it implied the outside," Barnett said. "I didn't exactly peruse it intently."

Gordon squeezed Barnett to address inquiries on whether he might want to battle individual Americans, the military or police to prevent Joe Biden from getting down to business. Barnett gave stopping, shifty responses, yet entirely never expressly said no.

Gordon then presented a screen capture of a Facebook post where Barnett expressed: "Anybody, and I mean anybody, that doesn't uphold the Constitution of the US of America is my foe and will be treated thusly."

Barnett's interrogation is planned to continue Friday.
