Jan. 6 rioter who said he wanted Trump's 'approval' found guilty by jury

, and that they shouldn't consider Trump's actions even if they think he's to blame for what happened on Jan. 6., including obstruction of an official proceeding and theft of government property. He's one of nearly 800 defendants who have been charged in connection with the U.S. Capitol attack.

U.S. District Judge Reggie Walton ordered Thompson detained until his sentencing, even though the government didn’t request that he do so. Walton said he was convinced that Thompson lied on the stand, and showed that he was “weak-minded” and couldn’t be trusted.“I think our democracy is in trouble because unfortunately we have charlatans like our former president who doesn't in my view really care about democracy but only about power," Walton said.

Thompson was the third Jan. 6 participant to be found guilty by a jury. Guy Reffitt, of Texas, and Thomas Robertson, of Virginia, were both convicted of all charges in their trials. Nearly 800 people have been charged in connection with the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol, and more than 250 have pleaded guilty. Hundreds of additional Jan. 6 rioters have been identified to the FBI but have not yet been arrested.

Media distraction is on overload again.

After the verdict, the judge went on to criticize Trump. “I think our democracy is in trouble because unfortunately we have charlatans like our former president who doesn't in my view really care about democracy but only about power,' Walton said.

👍👍👍

Who's office do you think the bottle of liquor was stolen from?

So the FBI spent months investigating a coat rack theft while the NY shooter who was also on the FBI watchlist posted videos about shooting and killing people ...... Then just went and did it without restriction. Guess we got the coat rack back.

Just wait till we storm the white house and take that pice of shit out of office kicking and screaming 😱🤣

Former Trump aide Stephen Miller to speak to Jan. 6 committee, source saysStephen Miller, who served as a top aide to former President Trump, will appear Thursday before the congressional committee investigating the Jan. 6 insurrection. Talk about beating a dead horse.... Where is your coverage on the Biden laptop and the DNC (Clinton) false dossier? It’s hard to understand how an educated Jew can be so bigoted. It’s like Putin calling the Jewish President of Ukraine a Nazi, only in this case Miller is a Nazi.
