“This is the second revolution right here folks! [...] This is not a peaceful protest,” the defendant — who tagged himself as “feeling pissed off” in a public Facebook post geotagged at the United States Capitol — yelled at the crowd as they forced their way into the Capitol.
One of the defendants was angry Antifa got credit for his work.
This FBI SA didn’t get to dunk as much as the others, but he did get to toss a “[sic]” or two in there when one of the defendants kept misspelling “Capitol.” justice.gov/opa/page/file/…

“Wooh! We in this motherfucker!” he said in the Facebook livestream video. "Bro, they stormed the Capitol, bro…pushed the cops out of the way, everything… took it over.” Image
Importantly, it looks like the feds proactively obtained the information from Facebook in response to a search warrant. Image
It doesn’t look like this case came about as a result of a tip from a Facebook friend, but rather because the feds got a search warrant for Facebook videos posted from the Capitol. justice.gov/file/1356986/d… Image

The two selfie cops are about to have a virtual court appearance before a federal magistrate judge in D.C. huffpost.com/entry/police-o…
Jacob Fracker, a 29-year-old officer, laughingly tells the judge that he has “like, a month of online college” after the judge asked about his education level.
Both officers were supposed to get their weapons out of their home, per prior court order, but agents found numerous weapons at Robertson’s home when they performed a search warrant this morning, per government.

NEW: An 18-year veteran police officer, currently with the Houston Police Department, initially lied about entering the U.S. Capitol during the insurrection, the feds say.

They found photos and videos from inside the rotunda in his deleted images folder.

huffpost.com/entry/houston-…
The obvious follow-up question is how many people are in prison on the word of this Houston cop who lied to the feds and (albeit hamfistedly) tried to destroy evidence? How many of his cases are going to be reexamined? huffpost.com/entry/houston-… Image
Houston Chief @ArtAcevedo says the officer resigned from the department on Friday, Jan. 15. That would be three days after his FBI interview. huffpost.com/entry/houston-…

One of the best photos I’ve even taken, from 12 years ago this week.
Remember being a bit bummed I wasn’t on the right side to get a shot of POTUS, but you know what this worked out better. Nice job, college Ryan.
Also remember the discipline of the officers who had to keep focused on their job and watch the crowd as history passed behind them.
