Capitol attack defendant Lisa Anne Homer was arrested in Colorado Springs on Friday. The feds found a profile image of her wearing the same "LIONS NOT SHEEP” hat that she wore on Jan. 6. Case unsealed today.
Not linking to the FBI affidavit at the moment because it contains a lot of unredacted personal info, but here’s a rundown:
The Google search warrant gives them her movements inside the Capitol, and they get her flight records.
They spot her in the New York Times Jan. 6 video on the front lines of the attack:
They pull these images from Albert Ciarpelli’s cell phone:
Then, after she puts her goggles and helmet on, they match what she was wearing outside the Capitol with what she was wearing inside the Capitol.
The feds say her Instagram features "an emblem that your affiant believes is associated with the Proud Boys group” and that she posted “Let’sblowshitup” on Oct. 2020.
"there really is no centralized role in this for Defense or the Federal government components. This sits squarely in MPD's realm. I'm trying to tamp this down with the Deputy like I have the last couple of protests but this one may be different..."
From the latest batch of FBI emails on Jan. 6:
"It's her very first day in this position. He didn't tell her what the document was, or who wrote it, unfortunately and then went back to the 7th floor for more meetings..."
The only man known to have participated in both the newsman fight in Anchorman (2004) and the U.S. Capitol attack (2021) has formally pleaded guilty in connection with the latter.
Jay Johnston’s sentencing hearing in DC is set for Oct. 7, not long before his Mr. Show colleague David Cross appears in DC at the Warner Theater for his “The End Of The Beginning Of The End” show.
THREAD: Over two years ago, a Jan. 6 defendant told a court that he'd witnessed Oath Keepers founder Stewart Rhodes (now serving an 18 year seditious conspiracy sentence) that he'd witnessed Rhodes try to contact Donald Trump during the Capitol attack.
That Jan. 6 defendant, William Todd Wilson, admitted that he heard Rhodes “repeatedly implore" an unidentified party he was speaking with "to tell President Trump to call upon groups like the Oath Keepers to forcibly oppose a transfer of power." nbcnews.com/politics/justi…
Rhodes himself was convicted at trial and, in May 2023, sentenced to 18 years in federal prison. But that phone call wasn't a focus for prosecutors.
The only man known to have participated in both the News Fight in Anchorman (2004) and the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol (2021) plans to plead guilty on July 8, per court docket.
He doesn’t count for any “law enforcement officers who stormed the Capitol” stats, but he’s certainly played a cop a bunch! nbcnews.com/politics/justi…
