Headline of the hour. Feds are expanding accusations against accused OathKeepers, alleging Jan 5 trip to Capitol to take photos and do reconnaissance ahead of Insurrection. And they allege one (Jason Dolan) has firearms hidden. They want Dolan jailed til trial
At this point, Feds have alleged two of the OathKeepers are suspected of being at Capitol taking pictures on Jan 5. Both from Florida. No mention if any others were involved or not
Feds allege Dolan and another accused OathKeeper deleted signal communications with each other. Feds say those messages are irretrievable
Dolan’s nickname is “Turmoil”, per Justice Dept court filings
His lawyer acknowledges Dolan is OathKeeper. But says Dolan is new to organization (joined in November), wasn’t leader, was “tagalong”
His attorney says Dolan didn’t assault anyone, didn’t damage anything and did not intend to enter Capitol, not a leader, “zero evidence my client was looking for the Speaker of the House”
