“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.”

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.

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.
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-…
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-…
