Oo boy.\nSullivan: "Why do you wish to plead guilty?"\nGionet: "I wanted to go to trial but the prosecutor said if I didn't [sic] go to trial they would put a felony on me so I think this is probably the better route. I believe I'm innocent"\nSullivan: "Well fine, pick a trial date"

This is one of many hints that Baked Alaska had to cooperate TO GET the parading plea he almost just blew up.\n\nThat means he has already cooperated some with prosecutors. If he goes to trial, prosecutors can use that information against him.https://twitter.com/ryanjreilly/status/1408539298769608708\u00a0\u2026

Given that video of insurrectionist Tim Gionet (\u201cBaked Alaska\u201d) exhibiting awareness on 1/5 that the Capitol would be stormed on 1/6 went viral, it\u2019s astonishing he got a misdemeanor deal and *more* astonishing he just screwed up that deal by declaring himself \u201cinnocent\u201d in court

Baked Alaska just talked himself into a trial and fucked up his plea deal.\n\n"Why are you pleading guilty?"\n"Because the prosecutor said he'd charge me with a harsher crime."\n"But are you guilty?"\n"No."\n"OK let's pick a trial date."\n"...wait...wait...wait..."

Oh my god. His guilty plea would have put him behind bars for only like 2 months.\n\nYesterday, I was in Baked Alaska's cozytv stream suggesting not to take the plea deal so he'd actually face long consequences.\n\nThat's me with Bowen Turner's mugshot as my profile pic. https://twitter.com/NBCNews/status/1524475447777673216\u00a0\u2026pic.twitter.com/EGxkviN5DD

I am just shuddering with sympathy at the thought of having to represent Baked Alaska through a criminal case. God bless those lawyers for soldiering on.

Do I have any sympathy whatsoever for Baked Alaska? No. Have I been the lawyer standing next to a guy who said exactly this to a judge? Yes.https://twitter.com/ZoeTillman/status/1524439391359356928\u00a0\u2026

ICYMI, here's the key exchange in the aborted Baked Alaska plea hearing today. \n\nGenuinely the funniest moment of a Jan6 prosecution so far.https://twitter.com/emptywheel/status/1524439105391796226\u00a0\u2026
