#PinkBeret "appears to pick up a black bag near the pile of media equipment and gives it to an individual identified as Tucker Weston, an individual charged in connection with activities at the U.S. Capitol on January 6, who walks away with the black bag." nbcnews.com/politics/justi…
"In the video, she has removed her pink beret..."
"VARGAS GELLER is seen holding what appears to be a bike rack. It appears individuals near VARGAS GELLER begin destroying the bike rack. VARGAS GELLER steps back from the bike rack and appears to cheer."
(One of these other yet-to-be arrested rioters has a wild backstory.)
"Prosecutors called that suggestion an 'improbable flight of fancy' and U.S. District Judge John Bates described the possible testimony Neely said the then-unidentified woman might be able to provide was 'no more than speculation.'"

THREAD: Over two years ago, a Jan. 6 defendant told a court that he'd witnessed Oath Keepers founder Stewart Rhodes (now serving an 18 year seditious conspiracy sentence) that he'd witnessed Rhodes try to contact Donald Trump during the Capitol attack.
That Jan. 6 defendant, William Todd Wilson, admitted that he heard Rhodes “repeatedly implore" an unidentified party he was speaking with "to tell President Trump to call upon groups like the Oath Keepers to forcibly oppose a transfer of power." nbcnews.com/politics/justi…
