A jury convicted a woman on Wednesday who was arrested during a congressional hearing in January after laughing at the claim that now-Attorney General Jeff Sessions had a record of treating Americans equally.
Desiree Fairooz, an activist associated with the organization Code Pink, was found guilty on two counts: one for engaging in “disorderly or disruptive conduct” with the intent to disrupt congressional proceedings and a separate count for parading, demonstrating or picketing.
Tighe Barry and Lenny Bianchi, who pretended to be KKK members supporting Sessions and were tried alongside Fairooz, were convicted on two of three charges. The jury found them not guilty of a disruption count because they took action before the hearing was gaveled in.
Barry, Bianchi and Fairooz are all due back in court in June. Jail time is possible because of the statutes they were convicted under, but probably unlikely. Justice Department attorneys David Stier and Jason Covert declined to comment on their sentencing recommendations.
Bill Miller, a spokesman for the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the District of Columbia, said the office had no comment on the verdicts.

These screwballs have gotten to play Joan of Arc without the burning at the stake.
George W. Bush let code pink make a mockery of the congressional hearings. I counted 6 disruptions of the Iraq hearings and no one was ever arrested.
It wasn’t Bush who did nothing. It was congressional “leadership”. The president can not enforce congressional rules.
Send them to Gitmo.
I remembered that name.
