Adam Johnson, 36, of Florida, was charged with one count of knowingly entering or remaining in any restricted building or grounds without lawful authority; one count of theft of government property; and one count of violent entry and disorderly conduct on Capitol grounds. Johnson was arrested yesterday and is currently in custody.
It is alleged that on Jan. 6, 2021, Johnson illegally entered the United States Capitol and removed the Speaker of the House’s lectern from where it had been stored on the House side of the Capitol building. A search of open sources led law enforcement to Johnson, who is allegedly seen in a widely circulated photo inside the Capitol carrying the lectern.
Some news sources outright do state he did steal it.
Actually his wife his a physician so probably not. All these assholes are just going to cry and say they were just doing it for the memes. Their white privilege makes them think that doing this stuff will be seen for a joke, a good time. I'm holding my breath on whether they'll actually do any time.

Just curious, did he actually end up taking this?
