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.

Sure, drew.

Keep pushing the lies.

Viking guy is NOT Qanon. He posed w/a Q sign, as a “prop”. He wormed his way up to get a pic w/Rudy, at the AZ hearings.

He’s a Defund the Police/Antifa tool.

Pics of him doing that, are everywhere. Also, his sidekick has a commie tat on his hand. Again, these paid tools are NOT patriots, nor America First supporters .

Why do you keep pushing these false narratives about these infiltrators, drew??

Do you work for MSM???

His infraction wasn’t for stealing an envelope, or even for trespassing. Everybody will be charged because they scared and embarrassed the swamp. You cannot be allowed to make the elites feel threatened. THEY can let YOUR business be burned out and ravaged, but THEY are UNTOUCHABLE.

There is a legal definition of the word “evidence”. It means a document or other item that has been accepted by a judge into a court case in a court of law. Democrats must be using that legal definition because, if there is no court case, then there is no “evidence”. This is certainly not the definition most people think of for the word evidence but it is a real definition in the dictionary.

It must be the definition that the left is using about the election fraud that has been videotaped, sworn to in affidavits, analyzed statistically, etc. No judge would even accept a case. Thus, the left will say forever ... “there is no evidence of election fraud.” Infuriating.

https://time.com/5416130/amy-schumer-emily-ratajkowski-kavanaugh-protest/
OCTOBER 4, 2018 6:30 PM EDT

Two famous faces — Amy Schumer and Emily Ratajkowski — were among the protesters who scuffled with police as hundreds swarmed the Hart Senate Office Building on Capitol Hill on Thursday to protest controversial Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh.

As the officer attempts to escort Schumer and another woman forward, the officer can be heard asking “You want to be arrested?” Schumer replies “Yes.”

...Capitol Police said in a statement obtained by TIME that 293 people were arrested for unlawfully demonstrating in the atrium of the Hart Senate Office Building on Thursday. They did not release the names of those arrested, “due to the large number being processed.”

Viking guy is NOT Qanon.

He calls himself “QAnon Shaman” and is well-known around Arizona. I dunno? Do Q-Tards have membership cards?

And his buddy’s tattoo is from a video game.

Do try to keep up.

No, they were useful tools for the Deep State Propaganda Machine, I’m sure they are all getting the funds transferred into their Swiss Bank Accounts now for a job well done.

Who could actually believe this is Queen Nancy’s office?

Look up pics of “Speaker of the House office” and see the regal setting and furnishings and huge space.

She has a staff of bootlickers to keep her desk clean. Like she does any real work except issue commands to underlings.

She has the pick of the best and largest office in a city where the trappings of power are a fundamental currency.

Wake up people, don’t believe this media creation - this dude was sitting in some working stiff’s office, a cog in the gubmint wheel.
