“I had just climbed the west wall lol."

U.S. Marine veteran Carey Jon Walden was arrested in Kansas City in connection with the Capitol attack. Feds interviewed him back on Feb. 3 after receiving a tip.
“This is from my Facebook,” he wrote on a printout of his Facebook post.
“I, Carey J. Walden, climbed a wall into the Capitol building on 6 Jan 21, at approx 1:00pm to 1:30pm. I took pictures and videos of where I entered. I went into a broken window, which was already broken… I fist bumped and ‘Devil horned’ the swat line.”
“That’s where I think I was during protest,” Waldren wrote on the back of this map, the FBI said. Case unsealed on D.C. court docket today. Uploaded the FBI affidavit here: storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.usco…
Walden actually has an initial appearance right now (which is probably why the court just got around to unsealing this). I happened upon it when I called in for another hearing. Don’t see any coverage of the case. He was arrested last Wednesday, May 28.
Judge thanks Walden for his military service and asks pretrial about potential housing solutions. Walden says he’s staying at a friend’s farmhouse at the moment but plans to move to Arizona.
Walden’s lawyer says they hope to settle this case fairly quickly. Next hearing set for August.
Nearly five months in, the phrase “likely the largest investigation and criminal prosecution in American history” is really just rolling of federal prosecutors’ tongues.
