DOJ says in late December alleged Oath Keeper member Kelly Meggs wrote in a Facebook message, “Trump said It’s gonna be wild!!!!!!! It’s gonna be wild!!!!!!! He wants us to make it WILD that’s what he’s saying. He called us all to the Capitol."
DOJ says Maggs said his group would not need to be armed for the attack on the U.S. Capitol, because there would be a “heavy QRF 10 Min out[.]” The abbreviation “QRF” is alleged to refer to “quick reaction force.”
Here's the press release: justice.gov/usao-dc/pr/six…
DOJ alleges Kelly and Connie Meggs, Graydon Young, Laura Steele, and Sandra Parker donned paramilitary gear and joined in a military-style “stack” formation marching up the center steps on the east side of the Capitol, breached the door at top, and stormed the building.
Per DOJ, Graydon Young, 54, of Englewood, Florida, was arrested on Monday in Tampa, Florida; Kelly Meggs, 52, and Connie Meggs, 59, both of Dunnellon, Florida, were arrested on Wednesday in Ocala, Florida...
...Laura Steele, 52, of Thomasville, North Carolina, was arrested on Wednesday in Greensboro, North Carolina; and Sandra Ruth Parker, 62, and Bennie Alvin Parker, 70, both of Morrow, Ohio, were arrested yesterday.

Breathtaking scope to this new North Korean cryptocurrency hacking indictment by DOJ. The US government is accusing three alleged North Korean intelligence officers of a conspiracy "to steal and extort more than $1.3 billion of money and cryptocurrency."
For crypto users, the key to pay attention to is the US saying North Koreans actually developed their own crypto apps up to as recently as September that gave them "a backdoor into victims' computers." Those include: Celas Trade Pro, WorldBit-Bot, iCryptoFx + 6 others.
This all allegedly dates back as far as 2014. I asked officials whether they noticed any pause during former President Donald Trump's diplomatic overtures to North Korea. DOJ official said NKorea has been "fairly persistent," but can't say whether there were any pauses.

Investigators looking into President Trump’s conduct up to and on Jan. 6th will likely be able to get access to his phone records, I’m told, because the president rarely places calls himself.
One aide rarely saw him dial a phone on his own - in the Oval, he would press a button for an assistant, and in the residence press a button for White House operators. The operator calls are logged and an auto generated email is sent to a list controlled by the chief of staff.
Those records will likely be available to the incoming Biden team on Jan. 20.

I asked a Trump Administration official what to make of the dramatic moves at the Pentagon. He said: “It’s just Trump guys getting revenge on people they don’t like and padding their resumes. It doesn’t mean anything on policy front.”
But I also spoke w/a former Trump Admin official who says this indicates National Security Advisor Robert O'Brien is trying to keep his options open for the future: “There are some people inside the White House who really believe that Trump's going to pull this off.“
“The person who really wanted Mark Esper out because he coveted Mark's job is Robert O'Brien,” the former official said. “O'Brien wants someone to keep the seat warm so he could get the job [in a second Trump term]. Christopher Miller is his guy, so now he can reach in.”

Scott Reed, the senior political strategist at the US Chamber of Commerce, confirms @maggieNYT reporting that he has resigned, due to the “leftward movement and constant Trump bashing of the Chamber.”
Reed says the Chamber’s Tom Donohue and Suzanne Clark blocked him from spending money on Senate GOP races: “They would not let me spend Senate money down the home stretch,” he said.
Reed says the campaign funds at issue would have been “enough to hold the Senate GOP,” but he was not allowed to spend it. A US Chamber spokesman says it will have a statement out shortly on this.

Huge investigation here - and a rare look at FinCen suspicious activity reports that track illicit money flows around the world: FinCEN Files Show Criminals Moved Billions As Banks Watched buzzfeednews.com/article/jasonl…
Statement on this from the Bank Policy Institute now: “It does not make sense that the basis for media allegations that banks knowingly hid illegal activity consisted solely of Suspicious Activity Reports that those banks filed alerting law enforcement to that very activity.“
2. “Clearly, there is more to this story, but unfortunately the reporting failed to unearth it, and the banks are legally prohibited from telling their side.“
