BREAKING: Court unseals indictment against alleged "3%-ers" from California in Jan. 6 conspiracy

Group is accused of advocating "violence against against certain groups .. that supported the 2020 presidential election results"

Feds say one had knife and stun baton in Capitol

Feds allege the group brought "personal protective gear", coordinated travel and had plans to go to the Capitol even before Donald Trump's speech on Jan 6

One of the accused Insurrectionists allegedly carried knife into Capitol & urged on mob saying "Move forward, Americans"... then warned police, "Last chance boys"

Another is accused of stating, "The people have taken back their house"

Feds allege some members of the California conspiracy on Jan 6 made references to 1776 and bragged "WE STORMED THE CAPITOL!"

Among those charged: Alan Hostetter, whom the feds say is the founder of the American Phoenix Project, which opposed COVID-19 restrictions and challenged the 2020 election

Hostetter ==>

Feds allege Hostetter said this at December rally: "There must be justice. President Trump must be Inaugurated on January 20th. And he must be allowed to finish this historic job of cleaning out the corruption in the cesspool known as Washington"

These allegations of preparations and planning come VERY EARLY on the timeline ... compared to other defendants, even others charged w/ conspiracy

** And this.. **

Feds say the alleged California group of Jan 6 defendants planned to drive, not fly to DC because of luggage "weight"

Concerned about all the "radios.. bear spray, knives, flags, plates, goggles, helmets"
