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.

Our cause is reestablishing free and fair elections. If we fail that the country as it exists is finished, parties won’t matter because elections results will be determined by the elites, the media and the Democrat Party leaders. If you support civil war or separation, then the whole vote thing doesn’t matter and our cause is truly different. Can the country be saved at this point, I really don’t know. It is however, my first goal.

The Feds may not get their conviction, but his lawyers are going to take every cent he has to his name.

There's always GoFundMe.

Any of the multitudes at that rally can be charged as accessories. It will cost them $$ and that lawyers will gleefully collect.

I was going to suggest that but
a fart is a little more covert.
At least, for a while she would
wonderer if the smell was
emitting from from herself.
With a steaming pile (while it
makes an appropriate statement),
she would just get a new chair.

One of the good things about Trump is how elite POS’s like you expose yourself as a GOPElite POS~!
