Florida resident Adam Christian Johnson, the man captured in viral photo carrying Speaker Nancy Pelosis lectern from House chambers during the riot at the U.S. Capitol on Wednesday, has been arrested.
Johnson, 36, was booked into the Pinellas County jail on Friday night. According to jail records, he is being held on a federal warrant.
The FBI was searching for Johnson, who was quickly identified on social media by local residents in the viral photo of him carrying the lectern during the mob violence at the U.S. Capitol on Wednesday.
Johnson is a stay-at-home-dad who lives with his wife and their five children in their Parrish home.

Johnson was not among the suspects identified by the U.S. Department of Justice on Friday as having been already charged in federal court for their alleged roles in the riot. Complaints had already been filed against others, but remained under seal.

Trump was in on a planned coup against America and its democracy in order so he can
stay in power and not be held accountable for his and his family's crimes.
It looks like Trump had Russian help in with the rioters

ATTN Joe Scarborough your talk now doesn't mean shit
You helped in making this nightmare happen and all your gum flapping now doesn't change that.
You helped in installing an illegal POTUS with your work in bush v Gore in 2000 and that allowed the
nightmare that is Donald Trump as President to happen in 2016 and time after time you, Mika, and MSNBC
gave Trump free air time along with pushing the non story of Hillary's emails.

Question and a comment
Are Trump's cabinet members quitting so they can't vote for the 25th amendment
30 seconds of Fox News and Fox Business channel 2-night ... channel surfing to the
weather channel ... the real problem at the capitol was ANTIFA .... "we are looking
at video to I.D. ANTIFA members." (BTW ANTIFA doesn't really exist)

This what a traitor looks like.
After the worst of Wednesdays Capitol building insurrection that left one woman dead, The Kansas City Star editorial board published a stinging condemnation of Republican Missouri Sen. Josh Hawley. The editorial denounced Hawley as being one of the public figures most responsible for todays bloodshed and sedition, saying that Hawleys actions in the last week had such impact that he deserves an impressive share of the blame for the blood thats been shed.
The headline of the article makes it very clear: Sen. Josh Hawley has blood on his hands in Capitol coup attempt. Hawleys craven ambition for higher office has been apparent the past couple of weeks, as he has very publicly been a promoter of sending out $2,000 checks to Americans in need (knowing Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell wouldnt let it happen) while also stoking Donald Trumps election fraud claims and saying he would oppose accepting the states certifications of Joe Bidens election victory.
The Missouri newspaper pointed to Hawleys lone, pathetic statement: Thank you to the brave law enforcement officials who have put their lives on the line. The violence must end, those who attacked police and broke the law must be prosecuted, and Congress must get back to work and finish its job, and its disingenuous omissions of all the reasons this terrorism happened today. It pointed out that when the newspapers board had attacked Hawleys actions earlier, telling its readers that Hawleys actions were dangerous, many readers called them out for being alarmist and hyperbolic.
snip
But, as the Star summarizes most precisely, what happened today has been apparent to anyone willing to get their head out of their own ass for a moment. This revolt is the result, and if you didnt know this is where weve been headed from the start, its because you didnt want to know, the editorial charged.
