NBC News reports:
A former California police chief who called for the execution of Donald Trump’s political enemies, joined the U.S. Capitol attack and then spread conspiracy theories about Jan. 6 was sentenced to more than 11 years in federal prison on Thursday. Alan Hostetter was found guilty in July on charges of obstruction of an official proceeding, entering or remaining on restricted grounds with a deadly or dangerous weapon and disorderly or disruptive conduct on restricted grounds.
Vivek Ramaswamy said, without evidence, during the Republican debate on Wednesday night that Jan. 6 “now does look like it was an inside job,” while Hostetter said during his trial that he believed “that the entire thing was staged.” Hostetter, who was found to have carried a hatchet during the attack, brought up Ramaswamy’s debate comments during his sentencing hearing Thursday. “These conspiracy theories are no longer fringe,” he said noting Ramaswamy’s comments.

Hostetter, who represented himself, is apparently one of those magical undercover feds since he thinks the riot was an inside job. The cultist website “American Gulag” has posted the names, work addresses, and phone numbers of the federal prosecutors handling his case.
