NEW: The complaint against Bruno Joseph Cua, the 18-year-old Georgian arrested by the FBI over the weekend, is now public.

Feds say he made it into the Senate chamber and was captured on that New Yorker video.

“Yes, for everyone asking I stormed the capital [sic],” he wrote.
“President Trump is calling us to FIGHT!”

“This isn’t a joke, this is where and when we make our stand. #January6th, Washington DC.”

FBI got tips about Cua pretty quickly. A couple just days after the insurrection. Then a law enforcement officer in Milton, Georgia, got in touch on Jan. 11. New Yorker video published Jan. 17
"CUA is seen outside the Senate Chamber doors, in a physical altercation with USCP plain clothes officers, still holding a baton in his hand. Specifically, CUA can be seen shoving USCP Officer G.L. (“G.L.”) in front of the door to the Senate Chambers…."
Bureau really put a lot of work into this sweatshirt conundrum.

“America, baby. What a time.”

“Smoke out the Capitol, baby.”

“How many joints we have?”

Capitol defendant Tammy Bronsburg (AKA Tammy Butry) was arrested, processed, and released on Thursday, according to court records. Since then, she’s been posting a bunch of internet garbage and conspiracy theories on Facebook. huffpost.com/entry/trump-bu…
She does, however, appear to have cleared her prior postings, including the incriminating evidence the feds already have, from her Facebook page. huffpost.com/entry/trump-bu…
A number of these individuals like Tammy — who talks here about a vision she had about “Antifa” invading her town in tanks with Biden signs slapped on the side — are clearly in desperate need of help.

Instead, elected officials embraced their delusions in a bid to keep power.

It is remarkable how often these awful, senseless deaths of individuals who are kept locked up only because the lack a few hundred dollars in cash fly completely under the radar. Just everyday horrors. huffpost.com/entry/hampton-…

Virginia has this weird system that lets citizens initiate criminal prosecutions by going to a magistrate, who don’t even have to be lawyers or judges.
It came up a lot in Portsmouth, Virginia, over the summer, when a cop with a grudge and conservative citizens took advantage of the system go after politicians they didn’t like. huffpost.com/entry/portsmou…
