As the screenshot heavy documents make clear, the circulation of the images of Johnston got a pretty quick response:
On or about March 8, 2021, an attorney contacted the FBI’s National Threat Operations Center and stated that s/he represented JAY JAMES JOHNSTON, who was the individual pictured in publicly disseminated photographs 247-AFO. The FBI has interviewed three current or former associates of JOHNSTON, all of whom identified JOHNSTON as the individual in the above photographs of 247-AFO. One of these associates provided the FBI with a text message in which JOHNSTON acknowledged being at the Capitol on January 6, stating “The news has presented it as an attack. It actually wasn’t. Thought it kind of turned into that. It was a mess. Got maced and tear gassed and I found it quite untastic.
Records from United Airlines show that JOHNSTON had a round-trip flight reservation from Los Angeles, California to Washington, D.C. departing on January 4, 2021 and returning on January 7, 2021. Over 1,023 January 6 rioters have been arrested so far, with nearly 280 behind bars of of the about 490 sentenced.
