Violent MAGA and Proud Boys RIOTS and TERRORIST ATTACK in the Capitol - PART 5

Thanks for starting a new thread!

I want to see the fear and regret on the faces of the deplorables that have been arrested.

After Capitol Riot, Elected Officials Under Pressure Back Home

Twat who was threatening to shoot Nancy Pelosi

One such rioter was 50-year-old ex-Marine Donovan Crowl, who has been charged with storming the Capitol and who is affiliated with the Oath Keepers militia.

"Despite... apparent pro-Trump views, a county election official in Ohio told CNN that [Crowl] registered in 2013 but 'never voted nor responded to any of our confirmation notices to keep him registered,' reports CNN. "A county clerk in Illinois, where Crowl was once registered, also confirmed he was not an active voter anywhere in the state."

CNN found several other instances of Trump rioters who never bothered voting, including "a 65-year-old Georgia man" whom police "found in his van with a fully-loaded pistol and ammunition"; a Lousiana man who "publicly bragged about spending nearly two hours inside the Capitol" after attending the pro-Trump "Stop the Steal" rally; and "a 21-year-old woman from Missouri who prosecutors say shared a video on Snapchat that showed her parading around with a piece of a wooden sign from House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's office."

When will the Pugs realize they're hanging themselves by clinging to these Qanon psychos or will they ever?

You paid for the riot, Publix heiress?

Where are the mugshots of these crazed idiots?

Thank you my love.

Is there a site dedicated to showing their insurrection and arrest photos?

Troy Faulkner, 39, stormed the U.S. Capitol with thousands of other rioters on Jan. 6, even managing to get caught on video kicking in a Capitol building window. Luckily for the FBI, he was wearing a jacket emblazoned with his contact information, Law&Crime reports.

Federal authorities identified the Ohio man by looking at video where he can be seen wearing a jacket featuring the contact information of his business, Faulkner Painting.

Joe Biggs, the Proud Boys leader who had dinner with Miss Lindz, has been arrested

So many of these idiots tried to blame "Antifa"

The MAGAts remain committed to making AntiFa "a thing."

Deplorables aren't terribly bright, are they?

That's a fucking elitist thing to say, r15!

Being elitist doesn't make it untrue, Dee.

[quote] Joe Biggs, the Proud Boys leader who had dinner with Miss Lindz, has been arrested

He pre-planned the insurrection. He's at home arrest when he should be in a prison, locked up.

Will Miss Lindz bail out her man?

Hunny, Miz Lindz is jus' besides herseff. She tried and tried but every lawyer she chose bailed on Trump, and now she is distraught and will prolly run off to Mar A Lago to spend time with Donnie. Things look bleak, but Lindz is threatening the Dems. She just stamped her foot and said she was gonna lie and call the FBI and make them investigate the Democratic Communist Party.

BULLHORN LADY IS NOT BOBERT'S MOTHER

Before the pandemic, Rachel Powell, a forty-year-old mother of eight from western Pennsylvania, sold cheese and yogurt at local farmers’ markets and used Facebook mostly to discuss yoga, organic food, and her children’s baseball games. But, last year, Powell began to post more frequently, embracing more extreme political views. Her interests grew to include conspiracy theories about covid-19 and the results of the Presidential election, filtered through such figures as Donald Trump, Rudy Giuliani, and the Infowars founder Alex Jones. On May 3, 2020, Powell wrote on Facebook, “One good thing about this whole CV crisis is that I suddenly feel very patriotic.” Expressing outrage at the restrictions that accompanied the pandemic, she wrote, “It isn’t to late to wake up, say no, and restore freedoms.” Several days later, she posted a distraught seven-minute video, shot outside a local gym that had been closed. “Police need to see there’s people that are citizens that are not afraid of you guys showing up in your masks. We’re going to be here banded together, and we’re not afraid of you,” she said. “Maybe they should be a little bit afraid.”

On January 6th, during the storming of the United States Capitol, Powell made good on that threat. Videos show her, wearing a pink hat and sunglasses, using a battering ram to smash a window and a bullhorn to issue orders. “People should probably coördinate together if you’re going to take this building,” she called out, leaning through a shattered window and addressing a group of rioters already inside. “We got another window to break to make in-and-out easy.”

In recent weeks, as journalists and law-enforcement officials tried to identify participants in the assault, she came to be known as “Bullhorn Lady” and “Pink Hat Lady.” She appeared on an F.B.I. “Wanted” poster, was featured in cable-television news segments, and became an obsessive focus of crowdsourced investigative efforts by laypeople and experts. Forrest Rogers, a German-American business consultant who is part of a Twitter group called the Deep State Dogs, recently identified Powell and reported her name to the F.B.I. She is now being sought by law enforcement.

In her first public comments since the riot, Powell acknowledged her role in the events at the Capitol. During a two-hour telephone interview, she claimed that her conduct had been spontaneous, contrary to widespread speculation that she had acted in coördination with an organized group. “I was not part of a plot—organized, whatever,” Powell, who was speaking from an undisclosed location, told me. “I have no military background. . . . I’m a mom with eight kids. That’s it. I work. And I garden. And raise chickens. And sell cheese at a farmers’ market.” During the interview, she reviewed photographs and videos of the Bullhorn Lady, acknowledging that many of the images showed her, and offered detailed descriptions of the skirmishes they depicted. She declined to comment on some of her conduct—including smashing windows and shouting orders to fellow-rioters—that could carry criminal charges. “Listen, if somebody doesn’t help and direct people, then do more people die?” she said. “That’s all I’m going to say about that. I can’t say anymore. I need to talk to an attorney.”

...

After graduating from high school, she married and had her first child at sixteen, her mother said. Three years ago, Powell separated from her husband. Since then, she has worked various part-time jobs to support her children, who range in age from four to their mid-twenties. She told me that she has a certification as a group fitness instructor, and has taken a course in alternative medicine. “She’s very granola, very crunchy,” a friend, who asked not to be identified, told me. “Does yoga, eats vegetarian, homeschools all their kids.”

Powell said that, before the election of Donald Trump, in 2016, she held a wide range of political opinions. “My views kind of fall all over the place,” she said. “I guess you could say that I’m more libertarian at heart.”

I am so tired of hearing about these lunatics' "research."

Spending hours online going down q-holes online and watching YouTube videos recorded in some guy's basement is not sufficient to support a coherent hypothesis of what's going on in the world.

Let's see your fucking footnotes.

This dumb bitch doesn't even know what a footnote IS, r22.

Got married at 16? Started popping out kids like there was no tomorrow?

She doesn't know the difference between a footnote and a football. Just a dumb cunt with no education and too much time on her hands.

R21 That woman is truly a dumb, brainless bitch!

This one has got spunk. I hate spunk.

The Sedition tracker has every one who has been arrested so far, most with pictures with a breakdown by state.

r25 - ...and the counsel for the government did not offer any objections to her request to travel."

They final got the guy they nicknamed Helmet Boy, Zachary Alam of Pennsylvania. He was the one bashing in the window to the Speaker of the House's lobby where Ashlie Babbitt was shot. Of course now he claim he regrets going there.

I wish they showed more of their mugshots so everyone could see how they desperately tried to hide their identities by shaving their heads and gross neckbeards.

This is the only hot one I have seen so far, John Strand a model from California, lucky he is good looking because he is fucking stupid.

THE SQUALID

[quote] KSP’s statement said the trooper attended the rally but did not enter the U.S. Capitol, where rioters stormed the building while a joint session of Congress met to certify the election of President Joe Biden.

[quote] Webb has been with KSP since 2004, with an 8-month leave in 2006. He became recruit commander in September 2018, a position he held until two days after the rally at the U.S. Capitol.

[quote] Before becoming the agency’s top recruiter, Webb was public affairs commander. He also spent four months as a senior trooper with the Academy Branch in 2013, the same year the agency used training materials that quoted Adolf Hitler and encouraged troopers to think like “ruthless killers.”

[quote] Webb couldn’t be reached for comment.

Webb’s wife, Cara Beth Webb, posted a photo on Facebook of herself and her daughter at the rally in a red Keep America Great hat. Her post described the rally as a peaceful, diverse event and didn’t mention her husband.

"A 𝘱𝘦𝘢𝘤𝘦𝘧𝘶𝘭 and 𝘥𝘪𝘷𝘦𝘳𝘴𝘦 event" ????

I don't have a lot of proof, R34, but I think it is actually possible because there were basically different rings happening at the circus.

The thought forming in my mind now is that the recruiting and structure was more complex than meets the eye. They wanted as many people there as possible for the energy. They wanted foot soldiers there to break into the Capitol and create a distraction. AND, they wanted a hit squad to fuck shit up.

The images of people going back to the hotel and having drinks and acting like it was just another march on Washington give them a veneer of plausible deniability. I think they planned for that. Had they been successful in their attempt to get Pence/Pelosi, etc. some of those people would then join the Revolution but many others would be like the lady in Myanmar doing aerobics as a signal that things aren't as bad as they look.

I could very well be wrong. Once the trials start we'll really see what people honestly thought was going to happen that day.

Apparently tips are decreasing. FBI posted a new batch of images

Kooky Louise Mensch is reporting that Bullhorn Lady is now in custody.

If I read the story at r28 correctly, BOTH of the shit birds caught in PA had priors and one was out on parole.

The one that hit that cop and gave her a concussion was out on parole. His prior? Assault. Who is surprised?

Lock these terrorists up at Gitmo for the rest of their miserable existences. They are only pleading for mercy because they got CAUGHT.

MyPillow Guy, you in danger, girl!

[bold]FBI raids home of Alpine man who took part in Capitol riot[/bold]

ODESSA, Texas (KOSA) -The FBI raided the home of a prominent Trump supporter in Alpine who took part in the Capitol riots.

The homeowner, Sean Watson, freely admits he was one of the people who stormed the capitol on Jan. 6.

“Yes, I was one of the people who went into the Capitol Building,” he said.

On Thursday, the FBI executed a search warrant of his home.

[quote]Two Texas pastors haven't backed down after comparing the new vice president to Jezebel — which scholars say is both racist and sexist.

Southern Baptist pastors in Texas are racist and sexist? I'm shocked, shocked I tell you! In other news, water is wet.

Southern Baptist anyone is most likely sexist, racist, and inbred.

So now you’re rotting in jail because you thought you were doing the former president’s bidding ... and GUESS WHAT? He’s partying at Mar-A-Lago not even knowing that you exist. No, he’s not gonna pardon or medal you. How does that feel?

They thought they were gonna be heroes, later to be honored for reinstating Trump. They can’t help being that stupid, but Trump could have helped not having so many killed and so many much more arrested (they’re not getting out soon).

It’s like having been in the same room where Sharon Tate was brutally murdered ... then being in the jury in Charles Manson’s trial (ok that can’t happen but with the Senate it does) and STILL voting to acquit him. WTF!

There's no question how despicable this was. The meat of the case is whether what Trump said or did was the direct cause of it all or was their an intervening criminal act that went beyond his exhortations.

Personally I think Trump trying to get votes "found" or suppressed like in that Georgia telephone call to state election officials or somehow "persuading" suppression by state certifiers or trying to get Pence to magically refuse to certify the results is the key. Those were unauthorized actions attempting to subvert the constitutional process.

I realize the riot is the drama but I think it's the weaker case. They can impeach him without implicating the First Amendment in any way.

I tried to overthrow the government and all I got was this lousy prison sentence!

[quote] I realize the riot is the drama but I think it's the weaker case. They can impeach him without implicating the First Amendment in any way.

Or they can bring up good ol’ fashioned criminal charges against him., r52.

The phone call to the GA SOS was CLEARLY extortionate, and Shitler was being very careful in that call NOT to say overtly what he wanted. He was asking Raffsenperger to "FIND" him enough votes to alter the outcome (which had already been tabulated THREE times!). It was exactly the same kind of smarmy squeeze that Donny used on the call to President Zelensky in Ukraine, EXACTLY the same. He threatened Raffsenperger with CRIMINAL prosecution if he didn't "find" what Trump wanted. Trump SHOULD go to jail for using the office of the US Presidency to blackmail someone, and he CLEARLY did it.

Trump was trying to get Tuberville to delay the certification so the mob could take over

Gotta love MAGA art

Lots of Senate Republicans didn't even bother to show up to the trial

Maybe the Republicans will boycott the guilty/no guilty vote. If only one shows up there will be a quorum, and we can convict him and stop him from running again.

IF that would work, they could save face by just having most of them stay away, knowing it will result in keeping the asshole from being able to run again. But I don't think it works like that. I'm sure a quorum in the Senate is legally defined, although I'm embarrassed to say I don't know what it takes to make one up.

51 is a quorum in the Senate - R61. If all of the Repugs except Romney boycotted, and all of the Democrats showed up, they could vote, and do what needs to be done.

Man arrested for threatening to kill President Biden

One of my mothers old neighbor/friends was on zoom and they were discussing the current affairs of the day, and this woman was talking about how arrogant Biden is and foolish and he won't do the right thing about China or Climate change and Trump was so good for the economy and for China, and Trump created all those manufacturing jobs, etc. And I was listening to them from the other room, and I wanted to claw that old bitch's eyes out. I need some hard data to rebut her nonsense. My mother was very happy to be rid of Trump. Now this bitch has her worried.

Trump actually LOST manufacturing jobs (and coal mining jobs - so much for bringing back coal!)

Nov 2020 article

CNN story, so I am linking to the tweet:

[bold]DC attorney general weighs legal viability of charging Trump under local statute[/bold]

Lawyers inside the Washington, DC attorney general's office are working to determine if it is legally viable to use district statutes to charge former President Donald Trump for his alleged role in the insurrection.

The debate is taking place one month after Attorney General Karl Racine first floated the idea of charging Trump. A person familiar with the deliberations inside the attorney general's office pointed to the flurry of details that have emerged since the Capitol attack, noting that it is the attorney general's responsibility to investigate all evidence of illegal incitement of violence.

Trump's alleged role in inciting the violence that left multiple people dead has been aired before Congress and in the courts. Impeachment managers have played video linking the former President's words to the rioters' violent actions. Prosecutors have told federal judges around the country that accused insurrectionists have repeatedly pointed to Trump as the one who was giving them direction.

more to story

Excellent wide ranging reporting in the 25th January issue of The New Yorker. The reporter was with the various groups and his interviews with various members including one member who made sure no damage was done while the rioters were in the Senate Chambers. The Pink Hat Lady with the battering ram and megaphone has just been released from jail and back with her eight children. Her lawyer said she was "not a danger" and the judge agreed.

[bold]“I Don’t Trust the People Above Me”: Riot Squad Cops Open Up About Disastrous Response to Capitol Insurrection[/bold]

Interviews with 19 current and former officers show how failures of leadership and communication put hundreds of Capitol cops at risk and allowed rioters to get dangerously close to members of Congress.

The riot squad defending the embattled entrance to the west side of the U.S. Capitol was surrounded by violence. Rioters had clambered up the scaffolding by the stage erected for the inauguration of President Joseph Biden. They hurled everything they could get their hands on at the cops beneath: rebar, plywood, power tools, even cans of food they had frozen for extra damage.

In front of the cops, a mob was mounting a frontal assault. Its members hit officers with fists and baseball bats. They grabbed at weapons slung from the officers’ waists. They unleashed a barrage of M-80 firecrackers. Soaked in never-ending streams of bright orange bear spray, the officers choked on plumes of acrid smoke that singed their nostrils and obscured their vision.

One officer in the middle of the scrum, a combat veteran, thought the rioters were so vicious, so relentless, that they seemed fueled by methamphetamine. To his left, he watched a chunk of steel strike a fellow officer above the eye, setting off a geyser of blood. A pepper ball tore through the air over his shoulder and exploded against the jaw of a man in front of him. The round, filled with chemical irritant, ripped the rioter’s face open. His teeth were now visible through a hole in his cheek. Blood poured out, puddling on the pavement surrounding the building. But the man kept coming.

R69, that does sound like meth, and it could be.

Most of those people are white supremacists, and they would know that Hitler’s soldiers were given an early form of meth, because it made them more violent, less afraid and able to continue to fight after they were injured. It was handed out by the army and the soldiers were all given it. They even had some in an emergency escape pack pilots carried, to help them escape, even if they were injured or had to stay on the run for days. Neo Nazis would know about that.

At least 9 insurrectionists have a history of violence against women

Trump's "fans" are already threatening Dems and the Republicans who voted against him

The whole 'mob' thing was a smokescreen for Trump's posse of well-trained commandos who were going to kidnap, torture and kill certain politicians. They escaped by seconds.

This was a foiled hit job from The Donald.

I hope at least one of the Jan. 6th Deplorables can directly connect Trump to instructions for the day. Maybe if their checking account doesn't get that depo$it he promised?

[quote] That is a given [R79]. Probably Russia, but I wouldn’t be surprised if it was the Saudis.

FWIW, someone I follow on Twitter went into a long dissection last week of the video of Pence being hustled out. I didn't understand it all, but this person seems to think that the ranks of the military people around Pence that day would absolutely indicate that the White House must certainly have been informed of a threat not just to the Vice President, but the nuclear football that was with him that day. He seems certain that the Y'all Qaeda insurrectionists were a smokescreen and the goal was either to get actual terrorists close enough to grab the codes or, more likely, get Pence in enough danger to declare Martial Law.

More about R88:

[quote] Daniel Dean Egtvedt, a self-described “award-winning sales professional,” has been charged with several crimes, including assaulting an officer and obstruction of justice. According to a newly unsealed criminal complaint, he was seen in videos and photos pushing through a line of Capitol police officers to storm the building before interacting bizarrely with several cops, including screaming at one to "shoot me.”

[quote] Social media accounts that appear to belong to Egtvedt show he is fairly well connected. He has visited the White House at least twice—including the 2018 Christmas party at which he met the actor Jon Voight—and posted photos on Facebook with high power Trumpkins, including Lara Trump, Rep. Dan Crenshaw (R-TX), and former Vice President Mike Pence.

This is a creepy developing story.

Not that we didn't suspect it all along, but I think RawStory is also working with the same narrative. Is this part of why the House Managers didn't really want to call witnesses?

[quote] "I proceeded to the Rotunda, where I smelled what I believed to be military-grade CS gas, a familiar smell," the Army veteran testified. "It was mixed with fire extinguisher spray. The rioters continued to deploy CS into the Rotunda. Officers received a lot of gas exposure, which is worse inside of the building rather than outside because there is nowhere it could go. I have received chemical burns to my face that still have not healed to this day. I witnessed officers being knocked to the ground and hit with various objects thrown by rioters. I was unable to determine what the objects were. I assumed command in the Rotunda and asked for additional assets. After a couple of hours officers cleared the Rotunda but had to hold the door closed because it had been broken by the rioters.

[quote] The complaint states that police tried to eject Egtvedt from the Capitol three times during the siege. The first time, he allegedly rushed at a female officer while screaming “you shoot me; shoot me” before grabbing her left arm with “both of his hands.”

[quote] The officer said Egtvedt was “generally non-compliant, screaming, and incoherent” and was “screaming at the top of his lungs.” Another cop tried to grab him “below the waist but could not, due to Egtvedt’s size,” the complaint states. He tried to push Egtvedt towards an exit and “‘held on for dear life’ due to Egtvedt’s size,” prosecutors added.

In a newly unsealed criminal complaint, prosecutors said Coffee is seen in photos and videos using a crutch to assault D.C. Police officers who were trying to protect the Capitol.

Before gaining notoriety for storming the Capitol, Coffee worked in post production on two primetime television shows, including Everwood, according to his IMDB page. Returning to Dallas in 2010 after stints in Hollywood and Cape Town, Coffee established a production house under the umbrella of a company owned by his mentor, director Rocky Powell, according to his website. He has directed a documentary, a TV pilot, and continued acting, with appearances in NBC’s Friday Night Lights and Las Vegas.

[quote] Cua's case is a stark example of just how powerful misinformation can be. Both prosecution and defense agree that he was radicalized by what he read online, and the decision to embrace the falsehoods he discovered in chatrooms and social media changed the course of his life. And he wasn't alone. More than 250 people have been charged so far with breaching the Capitol and most of them, to varying degrees, were motivated to storm the building by the falsehoods they had been reading online and in social media for months.

[quote] "President Trump is calling us to FIGHT!" Cua allegedly wrote on Parler days before the siege. "It's time to take our freedom back the old fashioned way."

They made clear that these ideas weren't things that Cua came up with on his own, instead they were fed to him online. He was radicalized, they said, by social media.

This recent interview on Fresh Air was very sobering. Apparently all the flags were a ruse; the terrorists tied them to wooden clubs, baseball bats, etc. they could use as weapons.

There's no reason for Luke Coffee's fledgling/failing acting career to be over just because he partook in insurrection and is heading for prison. He will be playing Debbie in the jailhouse production of "Debbie Does Dallas."

This bitch has now decided to sing a different tune about her plans to take over the US government. The judge wisely still refuses to let her out on bail. I hope she gets at least 10 years in the Federal slammer:

^She plotted to bring, literally, a boatload of high-powered weapons across the Potomac to her vigilante crew to use against our government at the Capitol. She is going to prison, stupid or not.

[quote] “It worked,” he said on Jan. 7th. “I got away with things that others were shot or arrested for.”

[quote] “I tested a theory. I was right. I saw ANTIFA being bussed in and escorted by the police,” he dubiously claimed. “Trump has announced he [w]ill leave in a peaceful way on Jan. 20th.

[quote] The bulletin, titled "National Capital Region Remains Attractive Target for Domestic Violent Extremists," warned that "Domestic Violent Extremists" or "Militia Violent Extremists" were emboldened by the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol and therefore pose a higher overall threat.

More on the guy at R154--who had top secret security clearance.

[quote] The F.B.I. said on Thursday that it had arrested a former State Department aide on charges related to the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol, including unlawful entry, violent and disorderly conduct, obstructing Congress and law enforcement, and assaulting an officer with a dangerous weapon.

[quote] The former midlevel aide, Federico G. Klein, who federal investigators said in court documents was seen in videos of the riot resisting officers and assaulting them with a stolen riot shield, is the first member of the Trump administration to face criminal charges in connection with the storming of the Capitol by a pro-Trump mob.

[quote] He worked on Donald J. Trump’s 2016 presidential campaign and began working at the State Department just days after Mr. Trump’s inauguration in January 2017, according to a financial disclosure form he filed as an executive branch employee.

[quote] Mr. Klein’s arrest was reported earlier by Politico.

[quote] The F.B.I. said in a court document that it received a tip about Mr. Klein in January, on the day after it included his image in a poster seeking information about several people seen in the crowd that had stormed the Capitol. A tipster provided investigators with Mr. Klein’s Facebook account, and a different witness later contacted them to say that he knew the man in the poster as “Freddie Klein,” according to the document.

[quote] Mr. Klein allegedly attacked Congress on Jan. 6 to help Mr. Trump unlawfully maintain power, he was still employed by the State Department and possessed a Top Secret security clearance, the bureau said in the document.

[quote] Mr. Klein can be seen in video footage and other images dressed in a red “Make America Great Again” hat, slacks and a dress shirt as he tries to break past a line of Metropolitan Police officers in a tunnel near the west terrace, according to the document. “Klein quickly pushed his way to the front-left side of the crowd and to the doorway to the Capitol building, where he physically and verbally engaged with the officers holding the line,” the F.B.I. said.

[quote] He was part of a mob that tried to push through the doors despite warnings by an officer to back up, the F.B.I. said, and used a “riot shield that apparently had been taken from an officer” to prevent the closing of the doors.

[quote] Mr. Klein was seen in other videos “calling back to the crowd behind him, ‘We need fresh people, we need fresh people’ multiple times,” the F.B.I. said.

[quote] Guy Reffitt, who drove from Texas to Washington, D.C., also said in recorded conversations that he and others were carrying firearms during the siege of the Capitol. He also encouraged his two associates to join the "Texas Three Percenters" militia, according to the messages posted to Telegram.

[quote] "I have a new security business to circumvent the 2nd Amendment issue," Reffitt told the pair. "Website is under construction but business is licensed with Secretary of State, Texas DPS, and Texas Board of Private Security. We can get ammo and weapons available to law enforcement. We have an interior certified training officer. Join us and lets take back our country. The fight has only just begun."

...

[quote] Reffit's post-Jan. 6 recruitment efforts were not the only startling aspect of prosecutors' allegations against him. They also revealed that his behavior before Jan. 6 had so alarmed his family that at least one member reported him to the FBI, worrying he was "going to do some serious damage" to Congress.

[quote] And when Reffitt returned from D.C. on Jan. 8, a family member covertly recorded his conversations and shared them with law enforcement.

[quote] "These statements arguably indicate his true intentions, as he was apparently not aware that anyone was recording him," prosecutors noted.

[quote] In his conversations, he described bringing a firearm into the Capitol, a significant admission since federal authorities have indicated they have not yet proven that anyone inside the Capitol carried a gun. Reffitt also said he was aware that other rioters were carrying guns as well.

[quote] Federal authorities have arrested and charged two men with assaulting U.S. Capitol Police officer Brian D. Sicknick with bear spray during the Jan. 6 Capitol riot but have not determined whether the exposure caused his death. Julian Elie Khater, 32, of Pennsylvania and George Pierre Tanios, 39 of Morgantown, W.Va., were arrested Sunday and are expected to appear in federal court Monday.

[quote] “Give me that bear s---,” Khater allegedly said to Tanios on video recorded at the Lower West Terrace of the Capitol at 2:14 p.m., where Sicknick and other officers were standing guard behind metal bicycle racks, arrest papers say. About nine minutes later, after Khater said he had been hit with bear spray, Khater is seen on video discharging a canister into the face of Sicknick and two other officers, arrest papers allege.

[quote] Khater and Tanios are charged with nine counts, including assaulting Sicknick, a U.S. Capitol Police officer identified as C. Edwards and a D.C. police officer identified as B. Chapman with a deadly weapon. They are also charged with civil disorder and obstruction of a congressional proceeding. The charges are punishable by up to 20 years in prison. Prosecutors filed charges after tipsters contacted the FBI allegedly identifying Khater and Tanios from wanted images released by the bureau from surveillance video and officer-worn body camera footage, the complaint said. It said the men grew up together in New Jersey, and that Khater had worked in State College, Pa., and Tanios owns a business in Morgantown.

[quote] Still, questions remain about whether anyone will be held criminally responsible in Sicknick’s death.Without a cause of death, his case has not been established as a homicide, although charging papers allege that evidence of an assault on Sicknick is clear on video.

[quote] It is unclear from the photographs who was in possession of the document, which was held together by a binder clip with its pages tattered and stained. A date stamp indicated it was printed in January 2019.

“Not only is defendant unable to offer evidence substantiating his claim that he was waved into the Capitol, but evidence submitted by the government proves this claim false.

Proud Boys Leaders in Four States Are Charged in Capitol Riot

WASHINGTON — F.B.I. agents have arrested two organizers for the Proud Boys in Philadelphia and North Carolina, and prosecutors filed new charges against two other prominent members of the far-right group in Florida and Washington State as federal authorities continued their crackdown on its leadership ranks, three law enforcement officials said on Wednesday.

With the new conspiracy indictment, prosecutors have now brought charges against a total of 13 people identified in court papers as members of the Proud Boys. Federal investigators have described the group, which appeared in force in Washington on Jan. 6, as one of the chief instigators of the riot at the Capitol that left five people dead, including a Capitol Police officer.

In the indictment, prosecutors accused Charles Donohoe, a Proud Boys leader from North Carolina, and Zach Rehl, the president of the group’s chapter in Philadelphia, of conspiring to interfere with law enforcement officers at the Capitol and obstruct the certification of President Biden’s electoral victory. Two other high-ranking Proud Boys who were already facing similar charges — Ethan Nordean of Auburn, Wash., and Joseph Biggs of Ormond Beach, Fla. — were also implicated as part of the conspiracy.

The F.B.I. declined to comment.

The Proud Boys, who emerged in recent years as some of former President Donald J. Trump’s most vocal and violent supporters, describe themselves as “Western chauvinists” and have a history of bloody street fights with left-wing antifascist activists. Those clashes intensified last year during the nationwide protests stemming from the death of George Floyd at the hands of the police in Minneapolis. During a presidential debate in September, Mr. Trump refused to disavow the Proud Boys, telling them instead in a widely watched moment to “stand back and stand by.”

While the Proud Boys had largely managed to avoid federal scrutiny, that changed after the Jan. 6 riot. The F.B.I. began aggressively investigating members of the group involved in the attack on the Capitol. Agents have searched homes across the country, scoured social media accounts and delved into the private communications of Proud Boys leaders. Members of the group have been charged in four conspiracy cases, accused of crimes including threatening a federal officer and the destruction of government property.

The new conspiracy case was the latest product of the efforts to prosecute the Proud Boys. Investigators have said that Mr. Biggs, 37, and Mr. Nordean, 30, equipped with radios and a bullhorn, led a mob of about 100 members and supporters of the group that marched through the streets of Washington on Jan. 6 chanting slogans and ultimately breached security barriers at the Capitol. Some Proud Boys were among the first rioters to shatter windows and enter the building, confronting police officers inside.

Mr. Biggs, a former Army sergeant, was released from custody pending trial shortly after his arrest in January, and his case has been in a kind of legal holding pattern for weeks. Mr. Nordean was released from custody on March 3 after the chief judge of the Federal District Court in Washington agreed with his lawyers that the evidence that he was responsible for aiding and abetting the violence and property destruction committed by his fellow Proud Boys at the Capitol was — at least at that point — relatively weak.

Mr. Rehl, 35, has styled himself as one of the Proud Boys’ most prominent representatives on the East Coast and has led the group’s Philadelphia chapter since at least 2018, according to federal law enforcement officials. This summer, he and other Proud Boys were spotted socializing with local police officers outside a Philadelphia police union lodge.

Federal authorities have charged a Florida man who was caught on video attacking police officers with a fire extinguisher while wearing an American flag jacket bearing the name of former President Donald Trump.

Robert Scott Palmer, a 53-year-old business owner from Clearwater, Florida, was arrested on Wednesday, according to court records. Palmer has been charged with assaulting/resisting/impeding officers, engaging in civil disorder, and entering restricted building or grounds, according to court records.

Details of the charges against him, including the FBI affidavit, are not yet public. A lawyer named on his court docket did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

HuffPost, building on the work of the citizen sleuths who have worked to hunt down the identities of members of the pro-Trump crowd that stormed the Capitol on Jan. 6, first publicly revealed Palmer’s identity on March 5. The FBI had received hundreds of thousands of tips about the Capitol attack, and multiple tips about Palmer’s identity had been in the agency’s possession for more than a month when HuffPost’s story published.

When HuffPost first reached Palmer by phone on March 4, he confirmed that he was at the Capitol on Jan. 6 wearing an American flag jacket bearing Trump’s name, and that he’d given an interview and talked about being struck by a police projectile in the stomach. But he clammed up when HuffPost asked about his assault on a police line.

“I’m not, I’m not, I’m not, I’m not, I’m not saying anything ― anything more. OK?” he said when HuffPost mentioned the video of him throwing a fire extinguisher at the police line. “I’m not, I’m not saying anything more,” he said when HuffPost pressed him again. He hung up when HuffPost asked if the FBI had been in touch yet, and Palmer’s Facebook page came down not long after HuffPost’s story ran.

An online sleuth whom HuffPost identified as “Amy” spent time investigating the man she dubbed #FloridaFlagJacket when she was in isolation in January after coming down with COVID-19. She sent in her tips after another online sleuth found a livestream video from Jan. 6 in which Palmer revealed his name. Weeks later, the FBI added an image of Palmer to its page of Capitol suspects. #FloridaFlagJacket was FBI #246 - AFO, meaning he was wanted for assault on a federal officer.

Amy, who has since recovered from the coronavirus, had a plan in mind for what she’ll do when she hears the FBI finally came for Palmer.

“I will probably open a bottle of champagne,” Amy said. “Which I can enjoy now, since I can taste.”

"Florida man...."

[quote] Paul Murray of Texas was arrested near VP residence & @DCPoliceDept say he had a rifle and a large capacity clip.

[quote] Law enforcement source tells @EvanLambertTV Murray stated he wanted to talk w/ the president.

Yet he was arrested outside of the Vice President's residence.

The criminal probe into the Jan. 6 insurrection has been described by the Justice Department as likely "one of the largest in American history." But as the investigation matures, it’s becoming increasingly clear that many of the roughly 800 people who breached the nation’s Capitol may never face any legal consequences because they were allowed to simply walk away from the scene.

The US Capitol Police arrested only 14 people that day, while the District of Columbia’s Metropolitan Police Department arrested only 25 for unlawful entry. Since then, more than 300 people have been charged in federal court, and late last week the Justice Department said it expects to bring cases against “at least” 100 more.

...

Letting rioters go home also gave them an opportunity to obstruct justice. An analysis by BuzzFeed News found that more than three dozen people charged in the investigation had attempted to destroy evidence or scrub their social media profiles, although not always successfully. In court filings in dozens of cases, prosecutors have described efforts by defendants to scrub social media accounts, erase or destroy other evidence, hide out with family and friends, intimidate potential witnesses, and, in at least two cases, attempt to flee the country. And that’s just for the people who were actually caught.

“I don't think anyone who believes in a functional democracy should applaud the Capitol insurrection slipping through the investigative cracks,” said Seth Stoughton, an associate professor specializing in criminology at the University of South Carolina School of Law who previously was an officer in the Tallahassee Police Department. “The question we have to ask is what resources were available and what discussions were had among leadership about simply arresting folks as they left?”

...

But on Jan. 6, faced with a decidedly violent crowd, the two police departments chose to let rioters leave. Video images show scores of people, many kitted out in tactical gear, being allowed to stream out of the Capitol’s entryways — bottlenecks where, Stoughton suggested, they could have been detained, handcuffed, and processed. “At least you could videotape people as they walk out,” he said.

A spokesperson for Sen. Gary Peters, who as chair of the Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee has been leading an inquiry into the events of Jan. 6, said carrying out arrests that day would have been difficult because police had not prepared for such a volatile situation. “Our investigation suggests that just wasn't doable at the moment,” the spokesperson said.

Effectively making mass arrests, experts on policing say, would require officers to carry zip ties, set up staging areas, arrange transportation for detainees, and have a holding area to keep them while being processed. In other words, said David Harris, a professor specializing in policing at the University of Pittsburgh, precisely the kind of foresight and preparation the Capitol Police lacked that day.

“Everything tells me that if they'd had the numbers to make that many arrests, they would have been able to keep people out of the Capitol in the first place,” Harris said. The impact of that failure, he said, is potentially huge. “People will get away. Evidence will be destroyed.

[quote] “The psychological burdens of being detained pending trial are very real for Mr. Young. Since he has no previous experience with the criminal justice system, being detained is taking an extremely high toll on his mental well-being,” the motion stated. “Prior to being detained, Mr. Young was a mentally strong and stable person with no history of mental disorders. His current emotional and psychological state is owing entirely to the fact that he has been detained and is unable to rely upon his normal social support systems. Because he is such a strong family man, locking him up away from his wife and children with the prospect of an extremely long period of time before trial is even scheduled is causing potentially irreparable psychological and emotional damage to Mr. Young.”

[bold]Insurrection fundraiser: Capitol riot extremists, Trump supporters raise money for lawyer bills online[/bold]

Defendants accused in the Capitol riot Jan. 6 crowdfund their legal fees online, using popular payment processors and an expanding network of fundraising platforms, despite a crackdown by tech companies.

The Capitol riot extremists and others are engaging these companies in a game of cat-and-mouse as they spring from one fundraising tool to another, utilizing new sites, usernames and accounts.

In one case, a crowdfunding website set up in late 2020 has been adopted by a defendant charged with storming the Capitol, who used it to raise almost $180,000. His was one of eight fundraisers on the site as of last week, and his donations accounted for 84% of the money raised on the platform.

The trend isn't limited to extremists connected to Jan. 6. Neo-Nazi Paul Miller has crowdfunded legal fees through Cash App and asked for Bitcoin donations, even after federal authorities arrested him this month for being a felon in possession of a firearm.

A U.S. Capitol rioter who allegedly brought a rope with him to Congress on Jan. 6 threatened days later to lynch a Black police officer that he believed fatally shot Ashli Babbitt, federal prosecutors wrote in a legal brief on Monday. The startling allegation surfaced in court papers against 34-year-old Garret Miller, whom prosecutors want to keep behind bars pending trial in the Jan. 6th siege.

Babbitt was fatally shot when she and the other rioters tried to break into the Speaker’s Lounge, where lawmakers had taken cover.

According to prosecutors, Miller referred to Babbitt as his “sister in battle” and began to see himself as her avenger.

“He became consumed with her death and circulated photographs on Facebook of an African-American police officer that he believed was responsible for her death,” Assistant U.S. Attorney Elizabeth C. Kelley wrote in a 16-page legal brief on Monday. “Miller threatened to kill that officer, stating that he wanted to ‘hug his neck with a nice rope’ and that ‘he will swing.’ He also said that the officer deserved to die and that ‘it’s huntin season.'”

“His fixation with hunting down and hanging a USCP officer is extremely concerning,” prosecutors added of Miller.

Now facing a 12-count indictment, Miller has been charged with assaulting police officers, threatening to assassinate Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.), and several charges related to U.S. Capitol insurrection. Prosecutors say that Miller’s remarks were especially chilling in light of what authorities found in his house.

“The FBI recovered numerous ropes from his house,” the government memo states.

I'm sorry if this has already been posted. I heard that Roger Stone told Alex Jones on his dumb podcast that they were both going to be indicted soon, and apparently this was news to Alex.

[bold]Oath Keepers founder, associates exchanged 19 calls from start of Jan. 6 riot through breach, prosecutors allege[/bold]

Oath Keepers founder Stewart Rhodes, his deputy and three members who guarded Roger Stone exchanged nearly 20 phone calls over three hours on Jan. 6, coinciding with the first assault on police barricades protecting the U.S. Capitol and spanning the time the three members breached the building, prosecutors charged Thursday.

In a new indictment adding previously charged Stone guards Joshua James, 33, of Arab, Ala., and Roberto Minuta, 36, of Prosper, Tex., to an Oath Keepers conspiracy case that now has 12 defendants, prosecutors bluntly laid a path to Rhodes and a person they said he put in charge of his group’s operations that day.

Prosecutors identified that individual only as “Person 10.” Rhodes in interviews has said he tapped a former Army explosives expert and Blackwater contractor nicknamed “Whip” as on-the-ground team leader.

A Florida college student was arrested Thursday for striking a police officer in the head with a skateboard during the Jan. 6 Capitol riot, leaving him with a concussion, the FBI said in an affidavit.

Grady Douglas Owens, a student at Full Sail University in Winter Park, Florida, faces up to 36 years behind bars if convicted of the charges against him, which include assaulting a law enforcement officer with a deadly weapon and inflicting bodily injury, and violent entry of the Capitol building, among other things.

Owens, who is due to appear in court on Friday for a bond hearing, was caught on body cam footage striking a D.C. Metropolitan Police officer in the head with a skateboard bearing the phrase “White Fang.”

[quote] A spokeswoman for the Salt Lake City Police Department confirmed that Hardin was an officer there until his retirement in 2017. He served with the city police for about two decades and was named the department’s Officer of the Year in 2012 for solving a 25-year-old murder case.

Matthew Leland Klein and Jonathanpeter Allen Klein were indicted on charges of conspiracy, obstruction of an official, obstruction of law enforcement, destruction of government property, entering and remaining in a restricted building or grounds and disorderly conduct in a restricted building or grounds.

Jonathanpeter Klein is a “self-identified” member of the Proud Boys, a far-right domestic group tied to extremism.

The DOJ has arrested at least 25 people affiliated with the Proud Boys for actions connected to the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol, including four alleged leaders of Proud Boys chapters in Washington, Florida, Pennsylvania and North Carolina.

Prosecutors allege the Klein brothers forcibly opened a “secured door on the Capitol’s north side” during the riot and caused “damage to the building in excess of $1,000.”

Matthew Klein allegedly “advanced toward” officers while “waving a flag affixed to a pole.”

Federal prosecutors allege that the Proud Boys prepared for the Jan. 6 attack by recruiting members on social media, raising money and procuring tactical equipment like military-style vests and gear. One Proud Boys leader charged in March, Ethan Nordean, allegedly led the group on Jan. 6 and planned to split up groups, break into the Capitol building and stop Congress from certifying the Electoral College results. The FBI is also investigating other far-right groups that have connections to the Jan. 6 riot like the Oath Keepers and the Three Percenters. All three groups are supportive of former President Donald Trump and maintain that the 2020 election was stolen from Trump.

TANGENT

The DOJ also announced on Monday that five men have been charged with “assaulting Metropolitan Police Department officers” during the Jan. 6 riots. Three of the men, Jack Wade Whitton of Georgia, Jeffrey Sabol of Colorado and Peter Francis Stager of Arkansas allegedly assaulted an officer with “a baton, flag, pole and a crutch.” Clayton Ray Mullins of Kentucky allegedly assaulted that same officer, and Michael John Lopatic Sr. of Pennsylvania allegedly assaulted a third officer. The MPD officers were not named in the release and their current conditions were not listed.

[quote] Just a week after Election Day, federal prosecutors charged someone who believed in then-President Donald Trump’s stolen-election lies with threatening to kill Sen. Chuck Schumer and other Democrats. Court papers indicate that the man, Staten Island sex offender Brian Maiorana, intends to plead guilty.

Tensions are running high between guards and inmates at a D.C. jail housing many of the defendants in Jan. 6 cases, with at least one of those prisoners alleging that he was brutally beaten by correctional officers.

For weeks, Capitol riot defendants being held in Washington have complained that they are locked in their cells with virtually no human contact for 23 hours a day. But a startling, graphic account offered publicly in court on Tuesday by one such inmate, Ronald Sandlin, went further: alleging that guards have subjected those charged in the Jan. 6 events to violence, threats and verbal harassment.

“Myself and others involved in the Jan. 6 incident are scared for their lives, not from each other but from correctional officers,” Sandlin said during a bail hearing conducted by video before U.S. District Court Judge Dabney Friedrich. “I don’t understand how this is remotely acceptable,” he added, saying he was being subjected to “mental torture.”

In an unusual direct plea to the judge, Sandlin said another Capitol riot defendant, Ryan Samsel, “was severely beaten by correctional officers, [is now] blind in one eye, has a skull fracture and detached retina.”

Sandlin also described racial tension between minority guards and the largely white defendants, some of whom have been publicly accused of membership in or association with white supremacist groups.

Sandlin said guards tackled “to the ground” one high-profile prisoner, Richard Barnett, 60, who was photographed with his boot up on a desk in Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s office. Sandlin said one of the guards declared, “I hate all white people and your honky religion.”

...

Defense attorneys for Samsel and Barnett confirmed the episodes described in court by Sandlin, which they said they learned about from their clients, clients’ family members and other attorneys. “There is a pattern of abuse and of targeting of the defendants who are being held pursuant to what happened on Jan. 6,” said Joseph McBride of New York, a defense lawyer for Barnett. “It is targeted. It is ruthless. It is nonstop.”

...

“We intend on filing a lawsuit against the two specific guards and the facility responsible for this scenario because Ryan Samsel did not deserve to get targeted and treated like this,” Metcalf added.

Another attorney for Samsel, Elisabeth Pasqualini, said that her client was moved to another “undisclosed” location earlier on Tuesday and that the episode in which he was injured last month was under investigation by the FBI.

A D.C. jail spokesperson and an attorney who represents the D.C. government on such issues did not immediately respond to requests for comment on the allegations. Jail officials have previously informed the court that the Jan. 6 defendants have all been held in “restrictive housing” in order to protect them from potential altercations with other inmates.

“For their own safety and security, all of the detainees who are being held at the Jail in connection with the events that occurred on January 6, 2021 at the Capitol Building have been placed in restrictive housing,” Deputy Warden Michelle Jones said in a declaration submitted last month to Judge Royce Lamberth, who is presiding over a separate case related to Jan. 6.

One veteran D.C. defense attorney said many Capitol rioters were new to the District’s jail system and might believe they’re being specifically targeted when they’re simply unfamiliar with being in jail at all — particularly in the harsh conditions of 23-hour-a-day isolation.

Pasqualini said she recognized that many people might have little sympathy for those accused of storming the Capitol, but that people who haven’t been convicted of any crime shouldn’t face such harsh conditions or abuse.

“For anyone inclined to think as a charged ‘Capitol Rioter,’ Mr. Samsel got what he deserved, I say get down from your mountain top, the hypocrisy in that air is distorting your vision,” she said in a statement. “Either we live in a democracy that believes in due process and equal justice before the law or we do not.”

Via email from charged riot suspect Brandon Straka:

Dear Patriot Family, Lately I’ve started to feel my mind go kind of numb on certain days. It’s been very jarring to go from being non-stop busy and on-the-go like I was to feeling rendered almost useless sometimes. Now don’t get me wrong. I know that that’s not true in any permanent kind of sense. But I’m doing as much as I am able to do everyday right now, and it just doesn’t feel like even close to enough.

It’s now been months since I’ve been able to do regular live videos, create new content to put out, do regular media interviews (which I was doing many, many times a week), plan and execute new events, travel and meet all of you. I don’t want to lose any pep. But this road has been long. It’s starting to feel too long and it’s not even over.

But I know I must stay focused. I know that God didn’t bring us this far to abandon us. That is never the case. So, the lesson for today is that we must all stay resilient, mission driven, and focused. Even if that means that for the present so many of our plans must be kept temporarily on hold.

Some days I’m feeling that I have to fight harder than others to stay grounded and to continue knowing that for right now my place is to step back and stay low until things work out. It’s been 71 days since this nightmare began for me. But I know I will be strong and make it to the finish line. The truth will prevail. Let’s all continue to pray for strength, unity, and firm resolve to pick up where we left off once all of this is behind us.

The email closes with a plea to “send checks” to a rented mailbox in Spanish Harlem, even though a crowdfunded “legal defense” drive has raised over $178,000. At last report, Straka has been ordered to remain at his parents’ home in Nebraska pending his first court hearing.

Seattle is reckoning with the news that at least 6 Seattle Police Department officers were in Washington D.C. on the day of the Capitol siege — the largest group of officers from a police department in the nation.

[quote] Such bravado may prove misplaced, legal experts said, if the church’s high-powered legal team secures the court’s blessing to start searching for assets.

[quote] A review of business records by VICE News suggests top Proud Boys leaders have links to a network of LLCs in Florida and elsewhere, crowdfunding operations, and at least one online store selling Proud Boys–branded merch. These companies have hawked protein powder, gun-themed T-shirts, and even hoodies on behalf of former President Trump’s longtime confidant Roger Stone. Others, like the suggestively-named Daiquiri Brothers LLC based in Hawaii, only hint at a purpose.

[quote] Staking a claim on assets that aren’t transparently controlled by defendants named in the lawsuit would be a complex legal affair even if the church wins, legal experts said. And it would likely require further courtroom wrangling, as well as a decision by the church to move forward with claiming any damages awarded by the judge.

[quote] But if the church does go there, it could also unravel the inner workings of the high-profile far-right gang, reveal how the group funds its operations—and, potentially, force the Proud Boys to hand over assets, or even members’ personal property, to the church.

The photo above is of the woman the FBI is looking for. Marilyn has no real social media presence or photos online.

Republican Who Compared Rioters To Tourists Seen Barricading Door During Insurrection

House Republicans Responding To Jan. 6th From A Mercenary Perspective

A Colorado man who allegedly participated in the January 6 riot at the U.S. Capitol is now accused of shooting a mountain lion – after a judge warned him he is not allowed to possess illegal firearms.

Patrick Montgomery was charged in January with illegally entering the Capitol and disorderly conduct during the riots, among other things, according to court documents.

Since his arrest, Montgomery has been on pre-trial release, but according to court documents, he has violated his release conditions, and prosecutors are seeking to revoke it.

In February, he was was ordered, among other things, "not [to] violate federal, state, or local law while on release," "do not commit any Federal or State crimes," and "do not possess illegal firearms," according to the documents.

Kevin McCarthy says he opposes January 6 commission

R369 These motherfuckers are something else.

R371 - so, he got caught hunting mountain lions with his dogs 11 months prior. Aren't mountain lions protected? Sounds like he goes out of his way to come across things he can destroy.

R374 He was also sentenced to six years in prison in the 90s for armed robbery and was prohibited from owning a gun, but, you know, freedomz!

Of course he'll save them. They know that Biden is merely "occupying" the White House and that Trump is still the duly elected president!

I need advice regarding online interaction with a deplorable who claimed to have been there and 'saw everything.'

A few weeks ago I started a thread (on NextDoor, of all places) asking Trumpers how they could justify the storming of the capitol and continued support for The Orange Shit Stain. One responded that the rioting was mostly caused by antifa and Democrats trying to make TOSS look bad and aided by mainstream media. She said she had been there at least one day earlier so would have been primed to see and hear a lot. I asked her if she saw a lot of violence caused by the leftists why hadn't she cooperated with the FBI and turned them in. She stopped responding after that exchange but I've been wondering if she was there and witnessed "everything" then wouldn't law enforcement want to speak with her, even if she's full of shit.

My question is: Should I leave this alone or should I forward what I've just written to the FBI or a tip 'hotline'? Would I be pursing justice or revenge? There is no indication she's done anything wrong besides being a deplorable, possibly a lying one..

I think the FBI would LURVE to talk to someone who has declared they have so much information about the events.

It's a shame Republicans won't vote for an investigation of the Jan. 6 events, so that the antifa evildoers could be made known.

Day of Rage

What needs to happen is to use the 14th amendment to get rid of these traitorous congressmen/congresswomen. It' pretty godamned clear: 14th, Section 3 No Person shall be a Senator or Representative in Congress, or elector of President and Vice-President, or hold any office, civil or military, under the United States, or under any State, who, having previously taken an oath, as a member of Congress, or as an officer of the United States, or as a member of any State legislature, or as an executive or judicial officer of any State, to support the Constitution of the United States, shall have engaged in insurrection or rebellion against the same, or given aid or comfort to the enemies thereof. But Congress may by a vote of two-thirds of each House, remove such disability.

I say throw them ALL out of Congress, esp Bobert, Gosar in the House, and Johnsen, Tuberville and Hawley in the Senate. Then strip the rioters and affiliated traitorous fucks of their US citizenships, even temporarily . Might require a 'creative' reading of the 14th but it's been invoked for other legal maneuverings. It would certainly get their attention.

Agree, r456. These dumb fucks are starting to realize that they are charged with FELONIES which means they cannot vote nor can they have their precious prick substitute (guns).

But since they're white, they'll be given a pass.

They are need to be lined up and shot so the rest of these MAGAt trash understands attacks against the US will not be tolerated.

"But Congress may by a vote of two-thirds of each House, remove such disability."

There's your rub, r456.

The comments made during a March court hearing were revealed Thursday, prompting Schaffer’s transfer to a Washington, D.C., jail before he was released on bail in April. “My client, who is presumed innocent, has just gone through two months of hell where other people were throwing feces at him and urine at him and threatening his life in a horrible, horrible situation,” Schaffer’s attorney Marc Victor said at the hearing, according to the Indianapolis Star. Schaffer was segregated due to his public status but it led to prisoners tormenting him.

[quote] Schaffer, a self-described founding member of the Oath Keepers, became the first insurrectionist to plead guilty and cooperate with the feds. He is expected to face between 3.5-4.5 years in prison.

An Ohio man who was identified by online investigators in the aftermath of the Jan. 6 attack was arrested by the FBI on Thursday and charged with attacking law enforcement during a brutal siege on the western side of the U.S. Capitol Building.

Dave Mehaffie of Dayton, Ohio, was known to online investigators as #TunnelCommander because he was issuing orders to members of the mob who were attacking officers during a brutal battle at the lower western terrace entrance to the Capitol.

Mehaffie was 86-AFO on the FBI’s Capitol wanted list, meaning he was wanted for assault on a federal officer. The arrest of #TunnelCommander is yet another boost for online “Sedition Hunters” who have used open-source information to identify the rioters who took part in the Jan. 6 Capitol attack.

Mehaffie was previously targeted in a federal lawsuit for blocking the entrances to abortion facilities around the country.
