A man charged with participating in the Capitol insurrection, Fi Duong, allegedly told an undercover FBI agent that he'd dressed up on Jan. 6 to look like antifa and had been trying to start his own militia-type group, per newly unsealed docs: s3.documentcloud.org/documents/2098… 
The charges against Duong are specific to Jan. 6, but the accompanying FBI affidavit describes what became apparently months of undercover surveillance that tracked Duong as he allegedly collected materials to make Molotov cocktails/explosives
"[Undercover employee] asked DUONG if he wanted to use glass Kombucha bottles like they were presently drinking from to make Molotov cocktails. DUONG rejected the idea, stating that 'My concern is this bottle is a little bit too thick and is not going to shatter on impact.'"
When the undercover FBI employee mentioned that a lot of Jan. 6 participants were now in jail, Duong, per charging docs, replied: "I see that as an opportunity. With every great revolution, you go to the prisons and you break them out"
In June, Duong allegedly had a convo with the undercover FBI employee about Biden's nominee to lead ATF: "He made a comment about his concern for new firearm regulations ... and DUONG said his property could turn into 'WACO 2.0'"
Notwithstanding what the govt describes in charging docs as an "interest in violence," Duong is not charged with any violent acts or weapons offenses. He's charged with one felony for obstructing Congress, and several misdemeanors. The govt did not argue for pretrial detention
