Spoke with Logan Barnhart AKA #Catsweat after he was sentenced to three years in federal prison for dragging a cop down the steps of the Captiol face-first on Jan. 6. Video by @GaryGrumbach:
Here's the DOJ press release on Logan Barnhart's three year prison sentence. #Catsweat
The arrest took place roughly four months after the ID, which felt long at the time! Now there are IDs that have been sitting there waiting for 2+ years.
"there really is no centralized role in this for Defense or the Federal government components. This sits squarely in MPD's realm. I'm trying to tamp this down with the Deputy like I have the last couple of protests but this one may be different..."
From the latest batch of FBI emails on Jan. 6:
"It's her very first day in this position. He didn't tell her what the document was, or who wrote it, unfortunately and then went back to the 7th floor for more meetings..."
The only man known to have participated in both the newsman fight in Anchorman (2004) and the U.S. Capitol attack (2021) has formally pleaded guilty in connection with the latter.
Jay Johnston’s sentencing hearing in DC is set for Oct. 7, not long before his Mr. Show colleague David Cross appears in DC at the Warner Theater for his “The End Of The Beginning Of The End” show.
THREAD: Over two years ago, a Jan. 6 defendant told a court that he'd witnessed Oath Keepers founder Stewart Rhodes (now serving an 18 year seditious conspiracy sentence) that he'd witnessed Rhodes try to contact Donald Trump during the Capitol attack.
That Jan. 6 defendant, William Todd Wilson, admitted that he heard Rhodes “repeatedly implore" an unidentified party he was speaking with "to tell President Trump to call upon groups like the Oath Keepers to forcibly oppose a transfer of power." nbcnews.com/politics/justi…
Rhodes himself was convicted at trial and, in May 2023, sentenced to 18 years in federal prison. But that phone call wasn't a focus for prosecutors.
The only man known to have participated in both the News Fight in Anchorman (2004) and the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol (2021) plans to plead guilty on July 8, per court docket.
He doesn’t count for any “law enforcement officers who stormed the Capitol” stats, but he’s certainly played a cop a bunch! nbcnews.com/politics/justi…
