BREAKING:

A pro-Trump military veteran who re-enlisted in the U.S. Army after he attacked cops at the Capitol on Jan. 6 in support of Trump’s efforts to overturn the 2020 election has pleaded guilty.

nbcnews.com/politics/justi…
Both Army veteran James Mault and his co-defendant Cody Mattice face an eight-year max at their sentencing in July.
James Mault admitted to a judge that, before he assaulted cops with chemical spray, he tried to convince them to join the mob, telling them they’d still have their jobs “after we kick the shit out of everyone.”

nbcnews.com/politics/justi…
“Your jobs will be here when you come back after we kick the shit out of everyone…. What we’re doing is right, or there wouldn’t be this many fucking people here.” — James Mault to cops on Jan. 6.
Scenes from the courtroom:

Chief Judge Beryl Howell: “Did you reply ‘fuck yea bro?’”

Cody Mattice: “Yes, your honor.”
James Mault, aka #IronWorkerGuy, was sporting an orange prison jumpsuit and a black face mask for his hearing today. nbcnews.com/politics/justi…

On the docket this afternoon: A plea agreement hearing for Donald Trump supporter James Mault, an Army veteran who reenlisted in the United States Army after he attacked cops at the Capitol on Jan. 6 in an effort to overturn the election. huffpost.com/entry/james-ma…
James Mault swore he would “support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic” just months after he took part in the Jan. 6 attack to overthrow the 2020 election. huffpost.com/entry/james-ma…
"That Mault could rejoin the Army ― when he was listed as suspect no. 142 on the FBI’s Capitol Violence wanted list ― raises serious questions about recent promises the Pentagon has made to better screen recruits for ties to extremism.” huffpost.com/entry/james-ma…

Meteer’s lawyer says his client still “firmly believes” there were irregularities in the 2020 election, and there’s no convincing him of the truth.

“I’ve tried,” his lawyer says.

In addition to being a massive threat to the future of the planet your child will inhabit, cars are the biggest active threat to your child now!
“Child development researchers, by the way, share that concern; some of them even attribute increases in childhood depression and anxiety rates to the increasingly autoentric neighborhoods in which most North American kids are raised.”

"I tore down the barricades."

“You did? Why?"

“Well, because, so we could get to the Capitol."

“Well, how’d that work out for ya?”

“Well, it looks like, uh, Biden’s gonna be our president."

Online sleuths also played a significant role in the case against Jerry Braun.

They spotted his business card poking out of his pocket.
