Former 'Bob's Burgers' voice actor Jay Johnston has agreed to plead guilty to federal charges stemming from his role in the January 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol.
... sentencing guidelines suggest a from eight to 14 months in prison. His sentencing is scheduled for Oct. 7.
Back on June 25:
Former Bob’s Burgers voice actor Jay Johnston agreed today to plead guilty to federal charges stemming from his participation in the January 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol. The 55-year-old actor [...] faces multiple charges including civil disorder and disorderly or disruptive conduct in a restricted building or grounds.
Typical Jimmy Pesto.
Hes been a dick in everything.
Even Sarah Silverman Show.
What's hilarious is despite being mildly famous, the FBI still tweeted his pics like any other shlub asking who he was.
Here are the details of his surprisingly active involvement in the attack:

Also of note:
Johnston was a voice actor on Fox’s “Bob’s Burgers” but was reportedly fired after it was confirmed that he was at the Capitol on Jan. 6.
Court documents said Johnston allegedly confronted Capitol Police directly and helped other rioters by handing out stolen police shields that were used to create a “shield wall” against authorities.
Johnston then participated in group assault on officers who were defending the lower west terrace tunnel before rejoining other rioters outside the tunnel in “pushing repeatedly against the defending officers,” the affidavit stated.
Yup, apprently a key part of the tunnel crush. This wasent just a "tourist trip."
Throw the book at him.
This is one of the people Trump is describing as a hostage.
I feel like Jay Johnston never actually left the background of this 1996 Mr Show sketch about America First bigots.
(Also Bob Odenkirk in brown face definitely didn’t age well. Ohh the 90’s.)
Dude you found the source of Project 2025 - it's all laid bare in that video
He doesn’t voice Bob. I know you were wondering.
I thought he was pretty good as the cop on The Sarah Silverman Program, too bad he's an insurrectionist.
Of course he doesnt, Archer voices Bob
Societally, is shunning still a reasonable approach for insurrectionists who for whatever reason seem like they will continue despite judgements leveled against them?
"Johnston, 55, could see a maximum sentence of five years in prison, but sentencing guidelines suggest a from eight to 14 months in prison. His sentencing is scheduled for Oct. 7."
Look at all those patriots with their trump flags attacking the capital. Wait a sec...
It's literally a cult. Dumb brainwashed assholes gathered to attack our nation in the name of one of the worst people alive. Can't get any cult-ier than that.
And yet the abomination of a human being is still allowed to run for presidency even though we all know he is a dumb, conman, traitor, piece of shit, child rapist cult leader.
jimmy pesto jr and andy and ollie deserve better
Celebrities can be just as fucking dumb as the rest of us!
Lock the traitor up. Now.
Who the hell did he play in Anchorman? 🤨
Evening News Team - guy in a blue jacket
Jay Johnston ... Eyewitness News Member
Maybe he appeared during the News team rumbles?
I wonder if this trivia item will end up on his IMDB page.
"Jay Johnston, known for his roles on Bob's Burgers and in the January 6th Insurrection..."
I've been dying for this to be used somewhere.
LMAO what a moron, also during his career he was always the 5th wheel, at best.
He was also in Arrested Development for couple of episodes. He was a gay cop in a mixed race relationship.
Some of us remember him from Mr. Show
When people say we should separate the artist from the art, I think of Jay Johnston. I do not want to support a fascist by purchasing art or entertainment they have created.
Employers should proactively inquire about one's political leanings before hiring someone. Fascism, bigotry, racism, or other conservative ideologies should be disqualifying factors in employment. Period.
There is simply no room in a modern culture for hate-based ideologies like conservatism.

You surely see why this would be terrible, right?
i honestly tried to watch bob's burgers since it's been so widely and vigorously fellated, but never got beyond the "this is the dumbest, cringiest, unfuckingfunniest bullshit i've ever tried to watch" phase
By who exactly?
It never pretended to be anything but dumb fun, at an inappropriateness level of the Simpsons or Futurama instead of Family Guy or South Park.
With a fanbase only beaten on the insufferable meter by rick and Morty, and MLP.
tbh everyone's entitled to like what they like, but if someone's getting butthurt and lashing out because someone poo-pooed their favorite show, then i have no sympathy
