Ryan Nichols’ attorney Joseph McBride — who told me he doesn’t “give a shit about being wrong” — is one of the stars of Tucker Carlson’s Patriot Purge series.
He’s the guy throwing out “agent provocateur” claims that have blown up in his face.
"If you have a weapon, you need to get your weapon. If you have a weapon, you need to get your weapon. If you have a weapon, you need to get your weapon." -- more political discourse
“So if you want to know where Ryan Nichols stands, Ryan Nichols stands for violence,” says Ryan Nichols.
This is why court transparency is important. Prosecution could accurately describe in court documents how Ryan Nichols confessed in the third person while wielding his crowbar, but words can’t do justice to his mangled pronunciation of “election integrity.”
Suit aside, online sleuths do not believe the guy in the front here is a Hill staffer. He was in the crowd for Trump’s speech, in the mob outside the Capitol, and appears to have attended a Jan. 5 event. He’s also seen smoking in the rotunda.
Don't have coverage of his entrance at the moment, but here he is in the rotunda at 2:30:09, shortly after the breach of the east doors. He's headed for Pelosi's wing, and is in that hallway by 2:31.
The FBI has removed suspects from the page before, including one because they were under underage. But with conspiracy theorists looking to feed a “false flag” narrative, removing suspects now could get tricky: nbcnews.com/politics/justi…
The FBI isn’t supposed to release derogatory information about suspects if, for example, prosecution is declined (see: 2016).
But that puts the bureau in a tricky position in explaining why suspects are removed from the Jan. 6 page.
NEW: Video shows rioters outside of Nancy Pelosi's office on Jan. 6.
Lots of familiar faces in there:
This was one of four videos released in connection with the Lawrence Stackhouse case.
Stackhouse told the FBI he "was wearing a Proud Boys hoodie while at the U.S. Capitol" but is not a member of the Proud Boys, per his admitted statement of offense.
A photo, for reference:
At the front of the mob in Pelosi’s wing, you’ll notice David Walls-Kaufman, the Capitol Hill chiropractor whose office is just blocks away:
Less than an hour after the RNC passed a resolution saying "ordinary citizens engaged in legitimate political discourse” were being persecuted, a court hearing is underway for a Jan. 6 defendant who pepper sprayed cops in the face while clad in MAGA gear.
Chris Quaglin to police on Jan. 6: “You don’t want this fight. You do not want this fucking fight. You are on the wrong fucking side. You’re going to bring a fucking pistol, I’m going to bring a fucking cannon.” storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.usco…
At the hearing, Judge Trevor McFeadden denied Jan. 6 rioter Geoffrey Sills’ motion for release from custody.
The feds want Traci J. Sunstrum locked up to 14 days. Sentencing is set for Feb. 24.
"Looks like we broke through the gates... We are storming the Capitol building… Haha. The Capitol police tried. I got news for you buddy. You got 70 million pissed off Americans…. We are literally on land that we are not allowed to be on normally, but we said ‘Fuck it’.”
"Taking down barriers! That's right!... They have made it inside. They are going to start tearing down the canvas….Oh, that's pepper gas!”
