TL;DR Summary

Former Navy reservist Hatchet Speed, who had a "top secret" security clearance and worked for a defense contractor, has been sentenced to four years in prison for obstructing Congress' certification of the 2020 presidential election results during the Capitol riot. Speed, who joined the Proud Boys and admired Hitler, was seen wearing a tactical backpack and a reinforced "Make America Great Again" hat during the riot. He also took part in several "Stop the Steal" rallies and viewed then-Vice President Mike Pence's actions as a betrayal. Speed is serving a sentence in a separate case related to unlawful possession of unregistered silencers.
