Betcha he gets less of a penalty than people who just walked through
the Capitol.

After they broke in.

And before it is brought up, yes there was the video of a cop standing
there letting the people in, but what isn't brought up is the people
were storming the door and he was faced with trying to fight
tens/hundreds of people trying to get by him and risking serious
injury or standing aside. I can't blame him for standing aside.

You can't say the people didn't know they were doing something wrong
as everyone one of them had to cross the barricades that had been
setup around the building. So the fact that the cop stood aside as
they walked in doesn't mean they weren't breaking the law.

Of course there's an argument. There's always an argument.

Your honor, I make a motion to dismiss the charge. My client was not
trespassing on the grounds of the Capitol. The barriers had not yet been
erected when he entered the Capitol grounds. Prosecution has presented
no evidence that the defendant evaded the barrier.

If he wasn't trespassing on the Capitol grounds, then he wasn't
trespassing having entered the Capitol through an open door. That's a
valid defense and those charges should have been dismissed.

Please don't argue that someone should be prosecuted on the basis of
inference and not evidence,
