NEW: Jan. 6 participant Salvatore Vassallo, aka #GrabbyGrappler, arrested in New Jersey.
An anonymous tip to the FBI included this photo: justice.gov/usao-dc/press-…
"VASSALLO is seen wearing a camo baseball hat with white lettering, a black and white bandana around his neck, a gray backpack, and gray pants. VASSALLO also had a cigar in his mouth."
Something the feds did not include in the initial charging documents: Vassallo also tried to kick in the window. Another rioter succeeded a moment later.
This’ll probably get added in the future.

The Jan. 6 rioter who wore a "CAMP AUSCHWITZ STAFF" sweatshirt when he stormed the U.S. Capitol is set to be sentenced today as his sister urges the court not to "judge a book by [its] cover."

Earlier in the day, he was wearing an S.S. shirt.

Robert Keith Packer's defense attorney said his client "appeared to be similar to the character played by Tom Hanks in the movie Forrest Gump — a man who went through life almost as if he was outside of his body and mind, looking in." nbcnews.com/politics/justi…
"hands down the BEST BROTHER with a HUGE heart and gentle soul." nbcnews.com/politics/justi…

Robert Packer wore a “CAMP AUSCHWITZ STAFF” sweatshirt on Jan. 6.

He told the FBI he wore it "because I was cold,” and his sister told a judge you shouldn’t judge a book by its cover.

So let’s rip off the proverbial cover jacket, shall we?

Ah, there’s a SS shirt underneath.
Robert Packer was wearing a Schutzstaffel shirt when he was closer to Trump’s speech, but layered up when he got to the Capitol.

Believe this is a new discovery today. Sentencing is set for tomorrow.
A Schutzstaffel shirt, next to the Smithsonian National Museum of African American History and Culture. Add it to the list.

In other Jan. 6 news, Trump fanatic Jack Wade Whitton took a plea:

Jack Wade Whitton, a 32-year-old from Georgia, bragged in a message obtained by the government that he "fed" a cop "to the people." nbcnews.com/politics/justi…
Whitton was an early target of the "Sedition Hunters" community that came together online to identify Capitol rioters after Jan. 6. Prosecutors referenced the role that "unknown Twitter users" played in tracking his movements using the hashtag #Scallops. nbcnews.com/politics/justi…
