Hey Adam — your J6 Anti-Weaponization Case Builder profile is ready to be claimed.

The record, so far

Adam Christian Johnson is one of the 1,571 January 6 defendants indexed in this archive — preserved from the DOJ Capitol Breach case list this site mirrored after the government scrubbed it from justice.gov. The internet knows him as "Lectern Guy," the man photographed carrying the Speaker's lectern through the Capitol rotunda on January 6. That single image went around the world. The man behind it is quieter than the photo suggests. FACT: Away from the cameras, Adam is a stay-at-home father of five boys, married to his wife, a physician. Before January 6 he worked as a cook and built furniture for a living. FACT: He was arrested on January 8, 2021, two days after the riot, and cooperated with federal agents. He was never convicted of theft or violence. Prosecutors dropped the theft of government property and violent entry counts when he pleaded guilty to a single charge: entering and remaining in a restricted building. THEIR ACCOUNT: Five years to the day after the riot, Adam filed to run for a seat on the Manatee County Commission, choosing to serve the community he has called home for most of his life. Case 21-cr-648 — U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia. Charges, per the DOJ record: 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.. The docket, as recorded: Arrested 1/8/21. Plea agreement entered 11/22/21 and pleaded guilty to count 1 of the information. Sentenced 2/25/2022 to 75 days in jail, followed by a year of supervised release, 200 hours of community service, a $5,000 fine, and $500 in restitution. On January 20, 2025, President Trump granted clemency covering the January 6 prosecutions. This profile is unclaimed. If this is you — or your family — claiming it is free, forever.
