WASHINGTON -- The man photographed sitting at House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's desk during Wednesday's riots in the US Capitol has been arrested and charged with three federal counts, including theft of public property, federal officials said Friday.

Federal officials said Richard Barnett of Arkansas was taken into custody Friday morning in Little Rock.

Barnett was charged with knowingly entering and remaining in restricted building grounds without authority, violent entry and disorderly conduct on Capitol grounds as well as the theft of public property, officials said.

A resident of Alabama was also charged in connection with the pipe bomb found on the south side of the Capitol building. Eleven Molotov cocktails and military-style weapon were found in his pickup truck, officials said.

"Just because you've left the DC region you can still expect a knock on the door if we find out you were part of the criminal activity at the Capitol," said Steven D'Antuono, assistant director in charge of the FBI's Washington field office.

"The FBI is not sparing any resources in this investigation," he said.

It was not immediately clear whether Barnett has an attorney.

No resources to pursue Hunter Biden’s laptop, or the many allegations of election misbehavior, but encroach on the elite and the Fibbies are at your door inside 24 hours.

Hm.

Government of, by, and for the People?

According to what I read here in Arkansas he took an envelope that HE LEFT $0.25 FOR. No prosecution of anyone who burned down cities and rioted but the full force of the U.S. Government on this one guy.

When I find out where a Legal Defense Fund is set up I will contribute.

“Just because you’ve left the DC region you can still expect a knock on the door if we find out you were part of the criminal activity at the Capitol,”

But if you’re a Dem you’ll be promptly released!

Hey Stevie- how many BLM terrorists have you arrested?

Hopefully he’s able to show how the police ushered the “protestors” led by Antifa representatives, into the building, and made it easy for them to move around and enter various offices, etc.

His life will be destroyed to send a signal to all who are not part of the leftist movement.

_____________________________________________________

Ironic, considering the Eff Bee Eye did not spare any resources in their attempted coup against President Trump.

Defund and disband!

Ten months on, and the normal citizens of this nation have
received nothing like this sort of investigation or
protection.

How much more obvious is it going to get, how much they
hate us?

Boy the authorities are on top of this, because it involved
them.

Ten months we put up with far worse than what they saw.

Ten months!!!!

Tow hours, and they’re out for blood.

Sorry, I have no respect for these people.

Hillary’s emails? An out and out coup?

Not a word on those investigations. With treason on the
line, they couldn’t be bothered.

As what I consider an average citizen, I fed up with the
bull stuff coming out of Washington.

Even though he boke the law, that photo of him sitting in Pelosi’s chair was hysterically funny, IMHO. I hope it freaked her out.

Why hasn't the FBI exhibited any interest or diligence in the multiple Antifa/BLM attacks and attempted arson on the Federal Courthouse in Portland, Oregon?

He will do major time. But they could track the ones that set fire to buildings and messed up federal buildings before and wouldn’t do it. One sided pieces of crap.

"The FBI is not sparing any resources in this investigation," he said.

So much for the investigations into Antifa and BLM. Because they were "peaceful" protestors.

The FIB isn't fooling anybody. Nothing but parasites.
