“He surrendered and turned himself in shortly after your story… We reached out to the FBI, and he turned himself in… Consistent with what we’ve been doing since day one, he wants to accept responsibility for what he did.” huffpost.com/entry/robert-s…
“When you mess up, accept responsibility. So hopefully he understands he messed up. I don’t know if he does or not, but hopefully he will when he gets to jail.” — @CountryOvParty #SeditionHunters #FloridaFlagJacket huffpost.com/entry/robert-s…
Here’s our story on Robert Scott Palmer from back in March. huffpost.com/entry/robert-p…
Robert Scott Palmer told us when he called that the Biden administration was trying to “vilify the patriots” who stormed the Capitol on Jan. 6. Here’s a taste of his Facebook page after the attack: huffpost.com/entry/robert-p… 
This case is going to be fully adjudicated before other major Capitol attack cases even get off the ground.
Standard reminder: Plea deals are, overwhelmingly, the standard in federal cases. Just two percent of federal criminal defendants actually go to trial. Read @johngramlich. pewresearch.org/fact-tank/2019…
Here’s part of @kaitlancollins’ interview with Robert Scott Palmer’s attorney this morning. #FloridaFlagJacket
