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
There's now a warrant out for #PinkBeret's arrest. nbcnews.com/politics/justi… 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.

"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.'"

“One of the tragic consequences” of a deadly attack on the U.S. Capitol that left law enforcement officers with life altering injuries is that GOP lawmakers had less of an opportunity to spew lies about the 2020 election, Mike Pence tells @DashaBurns. nbcnews.com/politics/2024-…
“One of the tragic consequences” of the Jan. 6 attack that ended multiple lives is that election deniers in Congress didn’t get their YouTube clips in, Mike Pence says.
“One of the tragic consequences” of the Jan. 6 attack is that it cut into floor time that could’ve been used to propagate the views of the My Pillow Guy and further undermine faith in American democracy, Mike Pence says.

Well this part just sucks. You have to physically be there IRL even if everyone is phoning it in. Image
No way to sugarcoat it: The public will be far far far less informed about Jan. 6 cases because of this order.

DOJ and an attorney for Jan. 6 rioter Samuel Lazar have filed a heavily-redacted opposition to the media coalition's motion to unseal documents revealing the secret deal / sentence he received.

He'll be out in September, per federal prisons database.

A rioter with close ties to Doug Mastriano and who was caught on video yelling "TAKE THEIR GUUUNNNS" was charged in July 2021... yada yada yada... DOJ and Sam Lazar's lawyer agree on keeping the whole thing hush-hush. Image
Spotted #FacePaintBlowhard's sister Rebeca Lazar (aka #GalDiceClay) outside the courthouse in March after receiving a tip that family members were coming down for sentencing. Also overheard some talk about what sounded like a pretty light sentence.

“Kill ‘em! Kill ‘em! Kill ‘em!”

Police body worn camera footage released in connection with a recent trial captures ex-FBI counterterrorism supervisory special agent Jared Wise appearing to incite the mob on Jan. 6. He’s currently charged with misdemeanors.
“There’s no good way to say it, so I’ll just be direct: …there is, at best, a sizable percentage of the employee population that felt sympathetic to the group that stormed the Capitol.” nbcnews.com/politics/justi…

#PinkBeret isn't the only person with comedic headgear on the FBI's Capitol Violence webpage.

A thread.

There's #MaceNHammer, the Rick Moranis doppelgänger looking like he's in a low-budget high school adaptation of Spaceballs.

There's #HelmetHitter, wearing the Turducken of winter hats, and posing with a stolen police helmet she appears to use to hit an officer:
