"Mom, look, I made it to the top!”

A man who dressed up in a Roman Gladiator costume on Jan. 6 has been charged in connection with the Capitol riot.

Nathan Wayne Entrekin was arrested in Cottonwood, Arizona, today. #CaesarNoSalad

“Here comes the riot police, Mom… This is our house! Wow, Mom. I wish you were here with me. It’s really exciting in here. It’s joyful and it’s sad at the same time. We can’t let Biden... to be our president.” huffpost.com/entry/roman-gl…
Nathan Entrekin was portraying Captain Moroni from the Book of Mormon. Here’s the FBI affidavit, featuring a lot of helpful and informative background: huffpost.com/entry/roman-gl…
In addition to this tweet mentioned in the affidavit, the Wayback Machine shows that Entrekin also tried to get Jenna Ellis’ attention.
"U-S-A! Wow, wow! This is a big-ass place. Where's my ice cream, Nancy? Hahaha… where’s my ice cream? Hahaha. I want my ice cream! Nancy, where’s my ice cream?!"

Extremely meticulous footnotes in this FBI affidavit! They even explain the Pelosi ice cream reference.
"A screenshot from a listing for the Plus Size Roman Gladiator Costume on an online retailer’s website. The costume appears to be identical to the one the defendant wore on January 6, 2021.” huffpost.com/entry/roman-gl…
Here’s one of the Parler videos featuring Nathan Entrekin:
“His mother refused to comment when reached by phone by the Republic.” azcentral.com/story/news/loc…

Daniel Rodriguez’s court hearing is now underway. The Capitol defendant, a regular at pro-Trump protests in California before the Capitol attack, was filmed electroshocking D.C. Police Officer Mike Fanone when he Fanone was seized by the mob on 1/6. #TaserPrick #SeditionHunters
Judge Amy Berman Jackson notes that it “took awhile” to get Rodriguez to D.C. after his arrest in late March, but he got here on June 10. huffpost.com/entry/daniel-j…
Here’s our first story on Daniel Rodriguez, a month before his arrest: huffpost.com/entry/fanone-t…

NEW: Judge Trevor McFadden says Capitol defendant Brandon Fellows has shown “sustained contempt for the government.”

Pretrial release is revoked. He’ll be locked up.

“I can no longer give the defendant the benefit of the doubt,” he said. “I’ve tried, but we are where we are.”
Government said they put a plea offer on the table. It would require him to plead guilty to a felony, and the government calculated his sentencing guidelines at 15-21 months.

Several hearings in Capitol cases this afternoon, including one for Daniel Rodriguez, who was captured using a stun gun on D.C. Officer Mike Fanone. Rodriguez was arrested in March. huffpost.com/entry/daniel-j…
Here’s our story from February on how Daniel Rodriguez was identified: huffpost.com/entry/fanone-t…
The Daniel Rodriguez case went straight to indictment, so we didn’t get specific confirmation of how the work of #SeditionHunters came into play. But this new discovery letter specifically cites @1600PennPooch’s video. #TaserPrick

Brutal report from the Justice Department’s internal watchdog on the FBI’s handling of the Larry Nassar investigation:
The Justice Department's Inspector General produced an interactive timeline on the misconduct. LINK: oig.justice.gov/reports/invest…
Here’s what the FBI’s Indianapolis Division put out when W. Jay Abbott announced his retirement.

Here’s what DOJ's watchdog said about Abbott’s conduct, which they said includes repeatedly lying about how he tried to get a job with USA Gymnastics.

Great story here. Another component to this is that it was abundantly at the time that McSwain was plotting a run for office and was making ham-fisted moves to use his office to bolster his name recognition. washingtonpost.com/national-secur…
McSwain was certainly no stranger to highly irregular press conferences! huffpost.com/entry/larry-kr…
You’d have to be really obtuse not to see what he’s been doing here. From July 2020: inquirer.com/politics/clout…

Five years ago, @dliebelson, @shaneshifflett and I led a newsroom-wide effort to collect a year’s worth of data on jail deaths nationwide. This was the first piece in our series, focusing on the most common and preventable cause of jail deaths: highline.huffingtonpost.com/articles/en/sa…
The jail deaths project remains one of the most important works of my career. Sadly, federal data on jail deaths remains outdated and aggregated at the state level, rendering it practically useless. huffpost.com/entry/jail-dea…
One of the interviews that has stuck with me ever since: huffpost.com/entry/jail-sui…
