The page for the fund includes a statement by Fairlamb who wrote, “On January 6th I traveled to Washington DC to attend the ‘Stop the Steal’ rally.”
“What I witnessed at the rally was a sea of America loving, American Flag waving Patriots who came together from all over our great nation in support of our 45th President Donald Trump. All races, sexes, old and young cheering in what was the greatest gathering of solidarity I have experienced in my life thus far,” Fairlamb wrote.
Fairlamb and many other Trump supporters have embraced the false claim that Trump only lost re-election to Biden as a result of widespread ballot fraud.
Prosecutors in their sentencing recommendation memo wrote, “The website indicates the funds are to be used for mortgage payments, medical insurance, attorney fees, and monthly bills.”
“Fairlamb should not be able to “capitalize” on his participation in the Capitol breach in this way,” prosecutors wrote.
Fairlamb pleaded guilty in August to assaulting a police officer and obstructing an official proceeding.
When he was arrested in January, prosecutors in a criminal complaint detailed how video showed Fairlamb shoving and punching a cop on the west side of the Capitol complex.
A Facebook video submitted to law enforcement by a “concerned citizen” showed Fairlamb at the Capitol carrying a collapsible baton and saying, “What Patriots do? We f—-‘ disarm them and then we storm f—-‘ the Capitol.
Prosecutors in their sentencing memo wrote, “Two days after the riot, on January 8, Fairlamb filmed a chilling video threatening future violence, stating, ‘they pulled the pin on the grenade, and the blackout is coming. What a time to be a patriot,’ and, immediately after being visited by FBI agents on January 15, 2021, said that he would “go again” to the U.S. Capitol.”
Fairlamb has been held without bond since his arrest. The months he has spent in jail since then will be credited to his prison term.
