THREAD: The transcript of the FBI interrogation of US Capitol riot defendant Daniel Rodriguez says Rodriguez expected Civil War.

And a whole lot more ==>

Rodriguez is accused of using electroshock device against DC Police officer Michael Fanone

Per the FBI transcript, Rodriguez somehow argues he used a taser on Fanone to "protect" Fanone

Look ===>

Daniel Rodriguez told FBI agents the mob wanted tasers on the frontlines, per the interview transcript

Tasers were key to occupying the US Capitol ==>

Per transcript, when agents pressed Rodriguez further about the use of a taser against DC officer Fanone, Rodriguez said "I'm a piece of s****... I'm an a*****"

Rodriguez was a big follower of InfoWars... per transcript

Jan 6 defendant Daniel Rodriguez, who's accused
of tasing DC officer Michael Fanone, associated himself with the far-right 3%-ers group during FBI intervieww

Then said he learned about the 3%-ers from Infowars

FBI transcript says agents asked Rodriguez if he ever threatened to assassinate Joe Biden

Per transcript, Rodriguez responded " I said, Joe Biden's going to be President over my dead body, I remember. Yeah. I'm still alive, so I failed."

Near the end of the lengthy FBI interview, per transcript, Rodriguez has an epiphany ==>

Oh.... and agents asked Jan 6 defendant Daniel Rodriguez if he planted the pipe bombs ===>

Rodriguez seemed particularly upset.... that he was crying in front of FBI agents ===>
