Jan. 6 rioter who electroshocked Michael Fanone shouts 'Trump won' after he's sentenced to 12½ years
WASHINGTON — A Donald Trump supporter who drove a stun gun into the neck of a Washington police officer who was abducted by the mob during the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol shouted "Trump won" after he was sentenced to 12½ years in prison Wednesday, multiple people present in the courtroom said.
Daniel "D.J." Rodriguez, a California man who traveled to Washington with fellow Trump supporters who belonged to a Telegram group called the "PATRIOTS 45 MAGA Gang," pleaded guilty in February to felony conspiracy, obstruction of an official proceeding, tampering with documents or proceedings and inflicting bodily injury on officers using a deadly or dangerous weapon.
"There will be blood," Rodriguez wrote in a "MAGA Gang" Telegram chat on the night of Jan. 5, 2021, just hours before he attended Trump's rally at the Ellipse near the White House. "Welcome to the revolution.”
On Jan. 6, after having joined the fight in the Capitol's lower west tunnel — where some of the most violent scenes of the day played out — Rodriguez attacked Officer Michael Fanone, later bragging about his actions in the Telegram chat.
“Omg I did so much f---ing s--- [right now] and got away,” he wrote to fellow members of the Patriots 45 MAGA Gang. “Tazzed the f--- out of the blue.”
U.S. District Judge Amy Berman Jackson imposed Rodriguez's 151-month sentence, saying he was a “one-man army of hate, attacking police officers and destroying property,” on Jan. 6. Rodriguez was responsible for his own behavior even if Trump had been making "irresponsible and knowingly false claims that the election had been stolen," she said.
