The now-viral photo shows Richard Barnett seated in the Speaker’s chair with his foot propped on her desk.

We’ve uncovered a Facebook video posted in October 2020 in which Barnett said he is a retired firefighter out of Memphis. He said he spends his time doing what he can to “protect our country.”

We interviewed Richard Barnett, co-founder of 2A NWA STAND!!!, at the Patriot Tour on October 7, 2020. copyright 2020.

We checked with the Memphis Fire Union. They confirm the department once had a firefighter by the same name but could not confirm if it was the same man.

I'm beginning to get a sense

That breaching the Capitol to stop the vote count was a convenient smoke screen for an even more sinister operation: (likely) russian intel theft.

Cannot get the image of mr. Zip ties out of my head. That is a professional terrorist. Much better armed & equipped.

And now reports of "equities" & at least 1 latop having been stolen.

CHARLESTON, W.Va. — A West Virginia lawmaker who filmed himself and supporters of President Donald Trump storming into the U.S. Capitol is facing bipartisan calls for his resignation as federal prosecutors step up their pursuit of violent perpetrators.

State Del. Derrick Evans was among lawmakers from at least seven states who traveled to Washington, D.C., for demonstrations rooted in the baseless conspiracy theory that Democrat Joe Biden stole the presidential election. Wearing a helmet, Evans ultimately joined a screaming mob as it pushed its way into the Capitol building, and livestreamed himself joyfully strolling inside.

Pennsylvania state Sen. Doug Mastriano said he helped organize a bus ride to the demonstrations but left the U.S. Capitol area after the eruption of violence, which he called “unacceptable.” The top Democrat in the Pennsylvania Senate, and eight of his colleagues, want him to resign, saying his actions and words disputing the election's integrity encouraged a coup attempt and inspired the people behind it.

More at link. Of course, none of them.admit to wrong doing, including Evans who apparently posted selfies in the Capitol.
