Smiling Florida MAGAt Who Carried Nancy Pelosi's Podium Wants No Future Jail Time

Tells Judge He’s ‘Happily Married’ to Doctor and Is ‘Primary Caregiver’ to Their Children

Johnson’s attorneys on Friday asked a judge to sentence the admitted criminal to “a sentence of time served followed by a term of probation of 12 months, $500 restitution and 100 hours of community service.”

Johnson’s attorneys then noted a series of letters of support and extolled his virtues as a father:

Adam Johnson is a devoted husband and father of five boys, ages 14, 13, 12, 9 and 6. He is happily married to his spouse, who is a medical doctor. While his wife practices medicine, Adam serves as the primary caregiver for the children. He prepares the boys’ meals, gets them ready for school, transports them to and from school and extra-curricular events, and helps them with their homework each night.

His children are being raised by a convicted terrorist traitor. Perhaps they should be removed by Protective Services.

I was thinking that if his wife is an M.D. they can afford to hire someone to watch the kids for a while. They're lucky. Not a lot of people can afford to do that.

He should be punished for teaching his kids to be traitors to their country, thieves, and vandals, not to mention teaching them to be Republicans and, of course liars.

Very disturbing. I have seen the pic of him with the podium many times, I had no idea how WHITE he is.

WHY is he basically wearing ‘blackface’ - assuming it is not a ‘lighting issue’. Are there other pics of him on the 6th?

try to keep themselves from suffering the consequences of trying to overthrow the government.

They'll do it all again at the first opportunity, so the longer prison sentence, the better.

the Capitol Building? Still, the boys do need their father, I won't be heartless. But bump up the restitution for the podium from $500 to something higher. That alone is more than $500.

Being primary caregiver for children means trying to raise them to be decent humans, not turning them into terrorists.

Johnson climbed scaffolding, recorded another video, and sent it to Facebook friends. He climbed down and ultimately entered the Senate Wing door, the statement of facts continued. He attempted to locate Pelosi’s office but a door was locked; her staffers had barricaded themselves in another office nearby, according to the statement of facts.


Federal prosecutors embedded this photo from Adam Johnson’s social media feeds in a sentencing memorandum. Its original caption was this: “Riot!!!” (Image via federal court documents.)

Also, according to the statment of facts, he "carried a knife that he discarded near the Canadian embassy before heading to — and entering — the capitol."

"Time served", by the way, was from Jan 8th to Jan 11th, so 3 days.
