Rioter Sentenced After Wife’s Post Tipped Off Feds

A Pennsylvania man “whose wife’s Facebook postings tipped the FBI off to his part in the mob that stormed the Capitol on Jan. 6 told a federal judge Monday that he was ‘ashamed’ for his role — which included entering the breached building for more than 20 minutes and walking into a ransacked U.S. senator’s office — and that it was only after the couple watched the New York Times video report on the day that they saw the full scope of the violence,” the Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

Said the man’s wife: “Never in my life could I have dreamed that something I posted on Facebook would be used against my husband, would lead him to be arrested.”
