“I would have rather had a t-shirt.” -- North Carolinamom, upon finding the pepper gel her son brought back from the Capitol on Jan. 6.

“Had to bring something back.” -- Aiden Henry Bilyard, who would soon go to Air Force basic training.
A judge had Biylard, aka #HarvardSweats, stepped back after he pleaded guilty in October.

"You make your bed, you gotta lie in it."

nbcnews.com/politics/justi…
"Trump was larger than life to Aiden. Aiden believed Trump to be a strong leader, an independent thinker, and a no nonsense man who would stand up for his beliefs even if others disagreed."

From a defense memo for Bilyard, who had a rough go of it.

.@ZoeTillman confirms what a judge let slip in January: DOJ expects about 1,000 more Jan. 6 cases, doubling the caseload.

That's roughly the number of people who have been successfully identified by online sleuths but not yet been arrested.

bloomberg.com/news/articles/…
On that list of IDed suspects who have not yet been arrested:

An ex-NFL player.

A neurosurgeon.

A former NASCAR driver.

Yet another male model.

Yet another former police officer.

Yet another corrections officer.

Yet another real estate agent.

“While it was encouraging to see the FBI state that they plan to bring justice to the remaining rioters in the months and years to come, the current pace of arrests is simply not sufficient to achieve that goal."

Trump fanatic Logan Barnhart, who dragged a police officer down the steps of the Capitol on Jan. 6, wrote in a letter to his victim that he's "ashamed" of his behavior.

The pipe layer / romance novel cover model said he's "often fantasized" about being a police officer himself.

NEW: Feds seek 9 years in federal prison for Geoffrey Sills, a 3D artist from Virginia repeatedly assaulted law enforcement officers on Jan. 6.

He made purchases from “Infidel Body Armor" and "Freedom Fighters Tactic” in Nov. 2020, per feds.
"Officer V.B. could not determine whether his injuries came from Sills or one of the many other rioters that assaulted him that day."

"it is impossible to determine whether the injury to Officer C.W.’s forehead was the result of Sills’s assault" or from another assault.
"Sills has accepted responsibility through a stipulated trial, but has expressed little remorse and contrition, and his social media statements after January 6 were those of a man proud of his actions." storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.usco…

"What does bear spray do to humans?"

#SuitMacer, a Trump fanatic who some on this website suggested was an undercover cop, pleaded guilty in a nearly empty courtroom yesterday. nbcnews.com/politics/justi…
"Look, you know, we have a job to do. There's an information war,” @McBrideLawNYC told me, after suggesting a Trump supporter was an undercover cop.

He added that he would “never knowingly put any false information out into the public.”

nbcnews.com/politics/justi…
"Wow! Caught red handed!!!"

"If this photograph and document are genuine, then this is evidence of a police officer spraying something toxic at another police officer.”

"These would be the metaphorical 'smoking gun' level evidence of the Fedsurrection."

#DragThemOut arrested!

Going to go out on a limb and say this is the first Jan. 6 defendant who somehow got into Princeton University.

He was interviewed at the Princeton Police Department.
"The FBI subsequently interviewed GIBERSON at the Princeton Police Department (PD) in Princeton, New Jersey while in the presence of GIBERSON’s attorney."

He was smart enough to at least attempt to cover his face up.

Instagram doesn’t get crawled by the publicly available facial rec, so FBI might be suggesting use of Clearview AI there.
