- After storming the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, with an angry mob of supporters of former President Donald Trump, James Rahm Jr. took to Facebook to brag about what he’d done.
- “Walked right through Pelosi’s office,” he wrote. “I should have s— on her chair.”
- But as U.S. District Judge Thomas F. Hogan sentenced the Philadelphia construction company owner Wednesday to a year in prison for his role in the insurrection, he recoiled at Rahm’s crass remark and balked at suggestions from defense lawyers that their client’s words were just idle talk.
