Criminal Lawyer & Former Apprentice Contestant says: US Citizens Committed Felony Burglary of the Capitol—Face Federal Prison

Available for Interviews: Stacy Schneider

Stacy Schneider, Esq., trial Attorney, nationally recognized television personality, columnist, and author, has appeared as a Legal Analyst on Fox News, Fox Business News, CNN, and HLN, commenting on high-profile civil and criminal cases and constitutional law. She has filled-in as a Legal Contributor on the long-running “Is it Legal?” segment on The O’Reilly Factor.

 What Veteran Criminal Defense Attorney and former Apprentice contestant Stacy Schneider says about the events of the Capital Building Siege:
“US citizens breaking and entering into the US Capitol committed Burglary, a federal criminal offense on US government property.”

Once they stormed the Capitol building, the rioters became illegal trespassers. Those who entered the building by smashing windows or armed with baseball bats and makeshift weapons are burglars—illegally entering property with intent to commit a crime therein. How one illegally enters property makes the difference between a misdemeanor (trespass) and a felony (burglary).
Citizens who entered Congressional offices and vandalized them are also guilty of felony burglary.
Crimes committed inside a Federal building or on Federal property are Federal crimes.
The burglars will be swiftly identified and caught by police—abundant video surveillance in the nation’s Capitol can be used with facial recognition technology to ID perpetrators. Fingerprints on Nancy Pelosi’s desk can be dusted to ID the vandal who invaded her office.
Many other crimes were committed: property damage, criminal mischief, interference with law enforcement, assaults on police officers, terroristic threats, etc.
