NEWS: More evidence of an **armed insurrection** at the US Capitol, as new details on Trump extremists who brought guns continue to emerge in January 6 cases motherjones.com/crime-justice/… Our latest reporting on this story, from me and @dfriedman33
2/ “According to court documents, federal agents who searched Brown’s home in late September found a short-barreled semiautomatic rifle and a sawed-off shotgun—both unregistered in violation of federal law—as well as two ‘military ordinance’ grenades.” motherjones.com/crime-justice/… 
3/ Especially interesting in this latest Oath Keeper's case is evidence from the FBI that he may be connected to the alleged operation in which Oath Keepers stockpiled an “arsenal” of guns near downtown DC for January 6. The feds appear to be advancing a sweeping conspiracy case.
4/ Big tip of the hat to @ryanjreilly, who consistently shares court filings and in this instance posted one relevant to our latest story on growing evidence of an armed insurrection. If you’re not already following Ryan for his great January 6 reporting, you’re doing it wrong…
5/ The defendant in that newly unsealed court filing admitted in a private Facebook message that he carried a pistol during the Capitol siege, according to prosecutors. (Link above.) Read @ryanjreilly’s broader reporting on that January 6 case—it’s a doozy huffpost.com/entry/trump-ca…
6/ Also notable from our latest story about guns at the Capitol on January 6: newly public emails showing FBI agents were aware of specific intelligence indicating that armed people were headed to DC motherjones.com/crime-justice/…
7/ Video with key footage and more details from our investigation into Trump extremists who brought guns on #January6th
