Jan. 6 convict begs judge to delay likely release and calls prison 'awesome and very fun'

A man convicted after participating in the riot on Jan. 6, 2021, has asked a federal judge to allow him to delay his possible release from jail and called his time in prison "awesome and very fun."

Prosecutors have asked for three years in prison for Brandon Fellows after he was convicted of one felony count of obstruction and four misdemeanors. Fellows was scheduled to be sentenced on March 1, but he asked to delay the sentencing even though he was likely to be released based on time already served.

In a filing on Thursday, Fellows said that he wanted to wait for the U.S. Supreme Court to resolve United States v. Fischer. The case asks Supreme Court justices to decide whether a law that makes it illegal to "corruptly" interfere with Congress was correctly applied to Jan. 6 crimes.

"I litigated this same question in my case and was convicted after a very partial jury trial," Fellows wrote in the Thursday filing. "Aside from not 'knowingly' interrupting, or 'planning' to interrupt this non-judicial proceeding (and only evidence being provided to the contrary of the 'knowingly' factor), [the statute] represents the only felony in my case and impacts my recommended Guidelines sentencing range for my selective charges."

"Not to mention, we had and have a right to overthrow the government once Pence certified the stolen election," he added. "Many lives would've been saved in the world by keeping Biden out of office."

WUSA reporter Jordan Fischer noted that Fellows apparently enjoyed his time being locked up.

"He seemed pretty likely to get time-served already, considering how long he's been in jail," Fischer pointed out.

And Fellows' filing supported that argument, calling his time spent in Fort Worth and Lewisburg prisons "awesome and very fun." But he said the jail where he was currently housed was filled with "filth" and had "less nutritional value in food, no weight rooms, no classes to take."

"So, if anything, this is more 'punishment,'" he said of his jail stay.

Fellows signed the document by describing himself as the judge's "favorite Political prisoner."
