Back on June 25:

Former Bob’s Burgers voice actor Jay Johnston agreed today to plead guilty to federal charges stemming from his participation in the January 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol. The 55-year-old actor [...] faces multiple charges including civil disorder and disorderly or disruptive conduct in a restricted building or grounds.

Here are the details of his surprisingly active involvement in the attack:

Also of note:

Johnston was a voice actor on Fox’s “Bob’s Burgers” but was reportedly fired after it was confirmed that he was at the Capitol on Jan. 6.

Court documents said Johnston allegedly confronted Capitol Police directly and helped other rioters by handing out stolen police shields that were used to create a “shield wall” against authorities.

Johnston then participated in group assault on officers who were defending the lower west terrace tunnel before rejoining other rioters outside the tunnel in “pushing repeatedly against the defending officers,” the affidavit stated.

Yup, apprently a key part of the tunnel crush. This wasent just a "tourist trip."

Throw the book at him.

This is one of the people Trump is describing as a hostage.
