SCOOP: #PinkBeret has now been charged, just 11 days after @FBIWFO popped off a viral tweet about her.

“I stopped dead in my tracks,” her ex told me, recalling the moment his buddy showed him the tweet inside a Joann Fabrics. “I’m like, ‘That’s Jenny.’”

"Yo, I don’t think this is going to work out,” he said. “You’re, like, reading ‘Mein Kampf'.

#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… Image
"In the video, she has removed her pink beret..." Image
"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.) Image

Didn’t have this on my bingo card a couple years ago. Image
If all of the violent rioters who assaulted law enforcement officers on Jan. 6 had just been wearing funny outfits they might be IDed by now.
Pitch: Rule 403, but for Twitter / real life. Image
A pretrial conference in Darrell Neely's case has been delayed a week. Now May 17 at noon.

Neely's attorney suggested Pink Beret was a fed, and that she "directed" his "entry into the Capitol."

Pink Beret was “central to Mr. Neely’s defense," she wrote.

nbcnews.com/politics/justi…
"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.'"

Re: The 6th

"there really is no centralized role in this for Defense or the Federal government components. This sits squarely in MPD's realm. I'm trying to tamp this down with the Deputy like I have the last couple of protests but this one may be different..." Image
From the latest batch of FBI emails on Jan. 6:

"It's her very first day in this position. He didn't tell her what the document was, or who wrote it, unfortunately and then went back to the 7th floor for more meetings..."

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…
Rhodes himself was convicted at trial and, in May 2023, sentenced to 18 years in federal prison. But that phone call wasn't a focus for prosecutors.

Dissent: the majority “invents an atextual, ahistorical, and unjustifiable immunity that puts the President above the law.” Image
"The Court effectively creates a law-free zone around the President, upsetting the status quo that has existed since the Founding."

🚨🚨🚨

The only man known to have participated in both the News Fight in Anchorman (2004) and the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol (2021) plans to plead guilty on July 8, per court docket.
He doesn’t count for any “law enforcement officers who stormed the Capitol” stats, but he’s certainly played a cop a bunch! nbcnews.com/politics/justi…
