Chicago resident Kevin Lyons, who was released early from prison for insurrection on January 6, recorded a video of himself ransacking Pelosi's office

CHICAGO (WLS) — A behind-the-scenes video shot by a Capitol rioter in northwest Chicago shows the ransacking of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's office on January 6, 2021.

The nearly ten-minute private video, which the ABC7 I-Team has obtained, was filmed by Kevin Lyons, who was sentenced to four years in prison but was released on Wednesday after just one year in prison.

Lyons' video was not shown in the trial against him because he waived his right to a jury trial. The I-Team obtained the video after it was used in the trial of another rioter.

The footage begins in the hallways of Congress and then cuts straight to then-Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi's private space in the U.S. Capitol, showing rioters pushing past a single police officer into her office on January 6, 2021.

Led by a Donald Trump flag bearer, you can see some people in helmets and protective vests carrying sticks and other improvised weapons.

The crowds are so dense that the corridor in the video resembles a bathroom line in an old baseball stadium, but it quickly becomes clear that the crowd is in a national cultural monument, walking past historical exhibits. Some rioters have drifted into the offices of the leadership.

In the fifth minute of the video, Lyons follows the intruders up some stairs near the Rotunda and into Pelosi's office as the crowd can be heard chanting “Nancy, Nancy, Nancy…” Inside, the group ransacks the outer office and Pelosi's private workspace.

One rioter is heard saying: “We are in Nancy Pelosi’s office!”

The video shows many people recording themselves and others.

Lyons' camera kept rolling even as he was seen reflecting in a gold-framed mirror and then as he was seen stealing a worker's jacket pocket and walking away with a wallet.

In a selfie photo seen in court documents, Lyons was also seen with one of Pelosi's prized possessions, a photo of her with civil rights activist and Congressman John Lewis.

Lyons was eventually arrested, convicted and sentenced to more than four years in prison, but his sole charge of obstruction of justice is likely to be dropped due to a recent Supreme Court ruling.

A judge released Lyon from prison on the grounds that one year of a four-year sentence was sufficient.

When asked if Lyons could be charged with burglary, former federal prosecutor and ABC7 chief legal officer Gil Soffer said, “That's potentially what he could be charged with, possibly enhanced versions of other laws that apply to all of the Jan. 6 defendants. Given where he was and what he did, his case is the less sympathetic one.”

Lyons is one of several hundred defendants from the Jan. 6 indictment accused of obstructing the certification of the 2020 election.

The Supreme Court has ruled that prosecutors went too far in applying obstruction of justice laws in the January 6 cases.
