Washed up actor finally charged. |
Comedians were shocked to see him at the U.S. Capitol attacking cops and breaking in.
They knew he had political support for Washed Up 45 but didn't expect him to believe the bullshit about the election being stolen and being driven with rage to attack democracy.
Jay Johnston, a comedian and voice actor was finally indicted for his role in the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol.
He is best known for being the voice of Bob Belcher's nemesis Jimmy Pesto on Bob's Burgers. He was fired out the cannon as the character, banned from Fox and his other projects were terminated as well.
Folks were wondering why it took so long!
Johnston faces charges of felony obstruction of officers during civil disorder, as well as several misdemeanor offenses, according to court documents.
Johnston was one of hundreds of Jan. 6 participants identified by online sleuths who have not been arrested. A Long Island, New York, funeral home owner was also arrested Wednesday.
Court documents say Johnston entered the upper west tunnel of the Capitol, where some of the most violent attacks of the attack on Jan. 6, 2021, took place, and "assisted at least three other rioters by pouring water on the rioters' faces." He then used a stolen Capitol Police shield as rioters battled with police, the documents say.
An attorney representing Johnston contacted the FBI's National Threat Operations Center on March 8, 2021, according to the FBI. Three of Johnston's current or former associates told the FBI that Jan. 6 photos depicted Johnston, and one of the associates provided a message in which Johnston acknowledged being at the Capitol on Jan. 6, it said.
More than 1,000 people have been arrested in connection with the Capitol attack, and hundreds more arrests are in the works.
The suspect is innocent until proven guilty in a court of law. Johnston faces 1 year to 10 years if convicted.
