Dustin Byron Thompson, 38, of Columbus, stole a coat rack, a bottle of liquor and a pager from the U.S. Capitol building on Jan. 6, 2021.

In a letter to the court asking for a lenient sentence, Thompson apologized and blamed the misinformation and conspiracy theory rabbit hole he fell down during the pandemic.

Thompson turned down a plea deal from federal prosecutors asking for at least 60 days in prison, according to Stewart, who replaced Shamansky as Thompson's attorney in May. "If you had had your way, you would’ve torn this country down and made this country a dictatorship," Walton said."You didn't love America that day."Federal prosecutors wrote in court documents that Lyon and Thompson entered the Senate Parliamentarian’s office inside the Capitol, where insurrectionists were looting the office.

Trump Thought He'd Enter Capitol 'Like Mussolini': Jamie Raskin After Agent TestifiesRaskin talks about Trump's suspected state of mind on Jan. 6 after testimony from Robert Engle, a Secret Service agent with Trump that day. It’s amazing how this isn’t emphasized every single time with all the coverage of his running again. Press failure. Everyone knows it was Nancy that created the 'Reichstag fire' by refusing troops offered by Trump and using the corrupt FBI to encourage people to walk through the capital. 15,000 hours of video and not released. WHY Wow. Democrats are now able to read minds or have minds read for them. Amazing!
