THREAD: The transcript of the FBI interrogation of US Capitol riot defendant Daniel Rodriguez says Rodriguez expected Civil War.

And a whole lot more ==>
Rodriguez is accused of using electroshock device against DC Police officer Michael Fanone

Per the FBI transcript, Rodriguez somehow argues he used a taser on Fanone to "protect" Fanone

Look ===>
Daniel Rodriguez told FBI agents the mob wanted tasers on the frontlines, per the interview transcript

Tasers were key to occupying the US Capitol ==>
Per transcript, when agents pressed Rodriguez further about the use of a taser against DC officer Fanone, Rodriguez said "I'm a piece of s****... I'm an a*****"
Rodriguez was a big follower of InfoWars... per transcript
Jan 6 defendant Daniel Rodriguez, who's accused
of tasing DC officer Michael Fanone, associated himself with the far-right 3%-ers group during FBI intervieww

Then said he learned about the 3%-ers from Infowars
FBI transcript says agents asked Rodriguez if he ever threatened to assassinate Joe Biden

Per transcript, Rodriguez responded " I said, Joe Biden's going to be President over my dead body, I remember. Yeah. I'm still alive, so I failed."
Near the end of the lengthy FBI interview, per transcript, Rodriguez has an epiphany ==>
Oh.... and agents asked Jan 6 defendant Daniel Rodriguez if he planted the pipe bombs ===>
Rodriguez seemed particularly upset.... that he was crying in front of FBI agents ===>

FLASH: Federal judge James Boasberg QUASHED subpoenas from Trump Admin into Fed chair Jerome Powell

Judge: "A mountain of evidence suggests that the Government served these subpoenas on the Board to pressure its Chair into voting for lower interest rates or resigning. On the other side of the scale, the Government has produced essentially zero evidence to suspect Chair Powell of a crime"
Trump's Truth Social posts appear to have gravely injured his attempt to get a criminal case against Jerome Powell

From judge's opinion to quash subpoena of Powell ===> Image
Just a blistering opinion from the judge:

"The President spent years essentially asking if no one will rid him of this troublesome Fed Chair. He then suggested a specific line of investigation into him, which had been proposed by a political appointee with no role in law enforcement, who hinted that it could be a way to remove Powell. The President’s appointed prosecutor promptly complied.."

ALERT: KASH PATEL FLIGHTS

Sen. Dick Durbin says whistleblower has revealed "in the immediate aftermath of the murder of Charlie Kirk, the FBI’s shooting reconstruction team was asked to fly to Utah to aid the investigation and process the scene. However, the team’s deployment was delayed by at least a day because of a Bureau plane and pilot shortage caused by the Director’s personal flights"
Sen. Durbin also says "The Director’s misplaced priorities and poor management of the FBI’s resources—including its aircraft—also harmed the FBI’s ability to respond to the shooting at Brown University on December 13, 2025. Once again, the shooting reconstruction team was set to respond to the scene immediately, but was unable to fly out of Richmond, Virginia, using one of the FBI’s planes."
Sen. Durbin says a source revealed Kash Patel previously said at an FBI field office meeting: "If you have golf, hockey, fishing, or hunting and beautiful sights, you’re going to see a lot of me."

Sen. Amy Klobuchar (D-MN): "With today’s decision, it is clear that Congress – not the president – has the power to impose tariffs. We must reassert this authority and stand up for American workers, businesses, and consumers.”
