Tim Gionet, aka Baked Alaska, livestreamed from the US Capitol Jan. 6, 2020 on a gaming platform DLive.
At the start of Friday’s virtual hearing, defense attorney Zachary Thornley told the judge that a protester was outside Gionet’s Florida home and was recording the proceedings over the telephone, a violation of court rules.The judge instructed court staff to shut off the telephone line, preventing the public from hearing Gionet enter his guilty plea.He went from a childhood in Anchorage to alt-right fame.
Federal authorities have used Gionet’s video to prosecute other rioters, including three men from New York City. Antonio Ferrigno, Francis Connor and Anton Lunyk pleaded guilty in April to riot-related charges. Gionet’s livestream showed them in Sen. Jeff Merkley’s office, according to court filings accompanying their plea agreements.
Mainstream internet platforms, including Twitter, suspended Gionet’s accounts before Jan. 6. At the Capitol, he was livestreaming video using a fringe service called DLive.
