mother and son who aided in the theft of then-Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s (D-Calif.) laptop when they participated in the mob that breached the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, were sentenced Wednesday.
Maryann Mooney-Rondon, 57, was sentenced to five years of probation, with the first 12 months to be served in home incarceration. She must also pay $3,657.51 in restitution, a fine of $7,500 and perform 350 hours of community service.
Her son, Rafael Rondon, 25, was sentenced to five years of probation, with the first 18 months to be served in home incarceration. He must pay $2,000 in restitution and perform 350 hours of community service. His sentence is to be served consecutive to a separate one in New York for possession of an unregistered sawed-off shotgun that he was convicted of seizing with several other firearms.
Imagine loving your country so much, that you travel to the US capital to protest what you believe, despite zero credible evidence, that the election was stolen.
Then you join a violent mob to attack your political rivals, steal the laptop of the speaker of the house, 2nd in line for the presidency.
And because you’re such a patriot, you try to sell the laptop, with whatever classified secrets it holds as the 2nd in line for the presidency, to one of our nation’s biggest rivals.
