Frank J Scavo bussed 200 people to Washington, D.C. on January 6th, which didn’t sit well at all with Judge Royce Lamberth...
Presently he is preparing for his new position as “inmate!”
The Washington Post
...[A] Pennsylvania man who organized charter buses for 200 people to attend the events on Jan. 6 was sentenced to 60 days in jail, when prosecutors had only sought 14 days in jail. It was the largest increase in sentence by a judge so far, 46 days, above what the government had sought, according to a sentencing grid filed by prosecutors in the case.
U.S. District Judge Royce C. Lamberth also imposed the maximum $5,000 fine, which is the largest one yet imposed in a Jan. 6 case, according to the government’s sentencing chart.
Lamberth said he gave Frank J. Scavo, 59, of Old Forge, Pa., credit for being truthful with the FBI, pleading guilty relatively early in the case, and not harming anyone. The organizing of buses from Pennsylvania was not discussed in the hearing, but the judge noted that “without you and the other people who participated in this, this whole event, that ended up in preventing the government from being able to function, would not have happened” and that had to be weighed in the sentence.
“I can’t imagine entering a government building that is closed to the public, but I did,” Scavo said. “Entering the Capitol on January 6 was a crime. I regret doing it.”

Scavo previously ran for a Pennsylvania House of Representatives seat and served as the president of the Old Forge School Board before being kicked out over Facebook posts that were viewed as anti-Muslim, according to WUSA9’s sister station WNEP.
In an interview with the FBI on January 15, Scavo said he was a supporter of Trump and had decided to charter buses to bring himself and roughly 200 other people to D.C. on January 6. Scavo told the FBI he headed to the Capitol after he learned former Vice President Mike Pence was not going to contest the election results.
Once there, the FBI says Scavo entered the Capitol and joined in chants of “Treason” and “Defend the Constitution, defend your liberty!” Scavo also recorded a video of himself on his cellphone saying he was “stormed the ****ing Capitol of the ****ing United States at 58 years old.”
He sounded a bit more contrite after sentencing…
Right after his virtual hearing in Scranton, Scavo spoke to Newswatch 16 outside his attorney's office on Biden Street, a street named for the president whose election Scavo was protesting on that day in January.
"As you all know, I plead guilty. I accept my punishment and sentence. And we move on from here. Regretfully sorry," Scavo said.
"From the FBI to the prosecutors, everybody was cordial," Scavo added.
"It was not the outcome we wanted, but the fact is that he accepts responsibility, and he accepts his punishment," said Scavo's attorney Ernie Preate.
The FBI continues to seek the public’s assistance in identifying individuals who participated in unlawful conduct during the Capitol Insurrection. New images are added frequently...
