A lot of people probably thought Jan. 6 rioter #CapitolSmoker was a Hill staffer when they first saw his image, but he wasn't.
Jonathan Humphreys was arrested in California.
"HUMPHREYS stated that it was possible that contractors working for him were armed inside the Capitol building."
Humphreys told the FBI he was working under his company "Humphreys National Security Company" for some unnamed entity. FBI is skeptical after reviewing his materials.
BREAKING: The Jan. 6 rioter known as #ChairGuy has been sentenced to more than six years in federal prison, with a Trump-appointed judge saying that blindside tackling an officer over a wall was “a truly cowardly and despicable thing to do.”
Several current and former law enforcement officers who served on Jan. 6 are here for #ChairGuy’s sentencing. Among them: @libradunn and @SergeantAqGo.

The former deputy director of Donald Trump's 2024 campaign in New Hampshire still apparently got some access, even after he departed from the campaign after video emerged showing he wanted cops who did their job on Jan. 6 to kill themselves.
“This is nuts, this is history, this is America, we love our president, let’s gooooo!” he says in the video.
