A Texas man will spend nearly two years behind bars for his role in the Jan. 6 riot in which he grappled with cops and stayed inside the U.S. Capitol grounds for about two hours as they prevented Congress from certifying the results of the 2020 Presidential election.
U.S. District Judge Beryl A.

Williams pleaded guilty on July 11 to assaulting, resisting, or impeding certain officers.
FBI agents received a tip in the days following the riot after Williams posted a video on Facebook describing the “TRUTH” about the riots, a criminal complaint said.

Williams then peddled the debunked theory that the riot was “a sophisticated, orchestrated infiltration conducted by Antifa and funded by the ‘Swamp.'”
But video from the Capitol showed that Williams had indeed rioted, and was easy to spot. Williams wore a bright orange construction shirt with the name of a Colorado business he previously did business with, feds said.
