Rioter Ratted Out To FBI By Coworkers Pleads Guilty

The Philadelphia Inquirer reports:

A Delaware County man whose vociferous support of President Donald Trump at work prompted his coworkers to turn him into the FBI is facing up to six months behind bars after pleading guilty Friday to Capitol riot charges.

Lawrence Earl Stackhouse III, 34, of Chester, told a federal judge that he illegally entered the Capitol, took photos, and wandered into House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s office as hundreds of Trump supporters stormed the building on Jan. 6, 2021. “Don’t regret one thing,” he messaged a friend the day after the attack. “F — the government.”

Though prosecutors have not identified where Stackhouse worked, they have said at least two of his coworkers helped pick him out of Capitol surveillance footage based on the distinctive Trump beanie and Proud Boys T-shirt he wore that day.

Read the full article. Stackhouse today denied being a member of the Proud Boys and says he’s sorry he wore their shirt. Yeah.

text messages show that in the days after Jan. 6, Stackhouse, Myers & Gianos ping-ponged between reveling in their participation in the riot, convincing themselves that antifa that was behind the attack, and fretting over whether the FBI would soon show up https://t.co/Jv8FGX9HRs
