The Comfort Inn in Ballston, Virginia was apparently a key location for some of the accused US Capitol Insurrectionists.
Feds say that's an Oath Keeper rolling weapons into the hotel before the mob arrived at Capitol.
Justice Dept alleges Kenneth Harrelson and other far-right Oath Keepers prepared a "quick reaction force" to in case their plans went to hell.
They accuse some of the defendants of stocking firearms for the QRF. At the Comfort Inn
Prosecutors allege Harrelson retrieved the weapons when he left town on Jan. 7
The Oath Keepers are accused of moving into the Capitol in a "military stack" formation to breach security on Jan 6. Harrelson is accused of waving the stack forward, then joining it.
Prosecutors allege one of Harrelson's co-defendants messaged: "Was hoping to see Nancy (Pelosi's) head rolling down the front steps"
Feds say Harrelson should be ordered jailed pending trial. They say he is a flight risk.. and had a go-bag with "guns, ammo, flip phone and a survival book"
And they say he lied at his prior detention hearing
Meanwhile, Harrelson has suffered a medical episode in jail, per court filings. From hypertension
The criminal cases involving the accused Oath Keepers are still the epicenter of the nearly 400 prosecutions launched from the Capitol Insurrection. They're the ones facing conspiracy and command/control accusations
