On Jan. 6, 2021, Jonathan Munafo punched a cop twice in the head with his fists, ripped away his riot shield and held it aloft in victory to a cheering crowd of insurrectionists. He then smashed a window with an American flag helping others seize control of the Capitol building in Washington, D.C., video, photographs, and court documents show.

But that was not the 34-year old Albany,, New York man’s first rodeo assaulting law enforcement while demonstrating his support for the re-election of then president Trump.

Munafo is charged in at least five states, two federal jurisdictions, and an American Indian reservation with weapons violations and assaulting cops and others as one of Donald Trump’s most fervent supporters in a nationwide crime spree in the run up to presidential elections and the insurrection at the Capitol in Washington, court and police documents obtained in an investigation show.

Munafo spent an uninterrupted year criss-crossing the country attending Trump campaign rallies in a borrowed car with official New York state “Naval Militia” license plates, plastered with pro-Trump stickers, flying Trump and “Blue Lives Matter” flags and “Support our Police” banners from the vehicle’s roof, and a life-size mannequin of Trump seated in the back passenger seat, making a minor name for himself as one of then president Trump’s most fanatical true believers.

1. Yeah, but he didn't have a turn signal light out, so he's good

I mean, that's a capital offense in some jurisdictions. Jonathan knew just how much he could do and keep walking away.

Now that Munafo is at last behind bars in Florida, I hope the various jurisdictions with an interest in him (I counted New York, Washington, the Nisqually Tribe, Massachusetts, Michigan and DC) communicate with each other so that they don't lose track of him.

4. I can only hope he never spends another day without bars around him

From the link:

“I have listened to approximately three hours of MUNAFO’s calls, which were recorded by (Calhoun County Michigan Sheriff’s Office) CCSO. MUNAFO advised the 911 dispatcher that he knew where she lived, and recited accurate information about her mortgage and tax obligations,” reads an FBI affidavit seeking a criminal complaint against Munafo dated January 20, 2021.

“Put a fucking cop on the phone now you stupid bitch, or it’s going to go way worse for your family!” Munafo told the Michigan Sheriff’s Office 911 dispatcher, according to the then sealed FBI arrest warrants. “Bitch, I’m gonna cut your throat. I’m gonna make you eat your fucking nose. I’m gonna hurt you bad for this. It won’t be today, it won’t be tomorrow, it’ll be fucking soon though, you stupid cunt. Insurrection Act, I’m coming to your door first and it’s public knowledge, you stupid, stupid bitch!”

In separate criminal investigations, FBI and local law enforcement agencies in Massachusetts, Michigan, and Washington, D.C. were aggressively pursuing Mufano on the same day of the Capitol riots with no idea that other law enforcement were doing the same thing at the same time he was assaulting law enforcement officers and attempting to overthrow the government in Washington.



“On or about January 6, 2021, CCSO Detective Jonathan Pignataro (of Calhoun County, Michigan) determined through public records that the phone number making the threat calls was issued by “Bandwidth.com,” an internet phone service provider. A representative of Bandwidth.com advised Det. Pignataro that the number was resold by another internet phone service provider, Textnow.com. Det. Pignataro served Textnow.com an emergency disclosure request, followed by a search warrant. Textnow.com provided the subscriber’s username, gmail address, and IP addresses used at the time of the threat calls, all of which were determined to belong to MUNAFO,” reads a federal criminal complaint from the Middle District of Michigan.

“Also on January 6, 2021, Det. Pignataro served a search warrant on Google LLC, for the gmail account associated with the Textnow.com number. Google disclosed that the subscriber had provided the recovery e-mail address [e-mail], and sign-in phone number (508) 418-XXXX.”

“(Calhoun County Michigan) Det. Pignataro’s search warrant establishes that MUNAFO was at a truck stop in Dunn, North Carolina when he placed the threat calls to the Calhoun County Dispatcher on January 5, 2021. In response to the Calhoun County search warrant, Google also provided MUNAFO’s internet search history for January 5, 2021, the day before the assault on the U.S. Capitol. MUNAFO searched for information on “Calhoun sheriff Michigan.” Among other search terms disclosed by Google, MUNAFO also searched for “Freedom Plaza, Washington, DC,” several firearms and military surplus stores, and (Michigan governor) “Gretchen Whitmer” on January 4 and 5, 2021. His whereabouts are currently unknown,” reads the January 2021 police report.

5. Trump: loved by pieces of shit everywhere.

6. It looks to me like this creep's "Trump Love"

is a convenient cover for being a violent, belligerent asshole (who needs to be locked up and segregated from society for a long time). This guy was roaming the country not doing much of anything but making threats and picking fights.

On the other hand, that does qualify him as one of shitstain's "fine people."

7. Good God . . .

What an asshole.
