What they did was criminal and treasonous. They deserve long prison sentences. Does anyone know if any of them made bail?

Clean as a whistle compared to the office picture taken. He's the POS from Arkansas. He's been arrested in Little Rock.

FUCK EM ALL....charge them with accessory to the deaths of all who died.

Never had a chance to sell the lecturn on eBay. It does look like he's won an all-expense paid for vacation in the Pinellas County Jail. Nice prize for another sore loser.

CNN said he's a furniture maker. Maybe he thought he could pass it off as something he made?

That doesn't change anything, though, and he should be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.

NBC affiliate WFLA-TV reports 36-year-old Adam Johnson was booked into the Pinellas County Jail around 9 p.m. on Friday on a warrant from the U.S. Marshal’s office.

Johnson lives in Parrish, located in nearby Manatee County, and is married to a local physician and has five children.

A photograph taken from Wednesday’s riot showed a man believed to be Johnson carrying the lectern that reportedly belongs to House Speaker Nancy Pelosi.

“I felt a little disassociated for a minute. It was almost like, it was surreal. I mean it was surreal. I wasn’t surprised, but I was shocked,” Allan Mestel, an acquaintance of the family, told the station............................

Bet his physician wife is so proud of him-meant to be sarcastic. Of course she might have same beliefs as him😐.

Besides, the oRange menace has a habit of throwing his manipulated tools under the bus when they are no longer useful to it.
