The Capitol rioter in the purple hat who flings the officer to the ground here so the mob can storm the Capitol is no. 166 on the FBI's Capitol Violence page, and known to sleuths as #smokyinsider.
From this video:
The FBI has circulated this photo, but there are better ones on sleuth websites.
He’s already been IDed.

Sentencing hearing underway for QAnoner Nicholas Languerand, who repeatedly assaulted cops at the Capitol and claims he feels "lied to and betrayed" by leaders he respected.

Judge John Bates finds that 46 months in prison is the bottom of the advisory sentencing guideline. ImageImage
"People who engage in terrorism always think they're in the right," federal prosecutor tells the judge.
DOJ quotes Languerand: “If you are ok with fraudulently certifying an election to win, then I’m ok with attacking a government building to stop you”

As we wait on a federal magistrate judge in Texas to rule on whether Oath Keepers founder Elmer Stewart Rhodes III should be released pretrial in his seditious conspiracy case, here's some new reporting on his proposed custodians in California. (THREAD)
As @joshgerstein reported, a family member identified in court only as Benjamin told the judge that he had no connections to the Oath Keepers or the Capitol riot.
