This was a difficult investigation?

Just guessing here, but it may have been made more difficult by the fact that they supposedly trespassed by crossing barriers/police lines without actually entering the Capitol. Then, their lying about it would have slowed things down.

A New Jersey man is facing charges after his UPS coworkers told the FBI he 'gloated' and showed them videos of his time at the Capitol riot

... Donald Smith "gloated" to his coworkers the day after the Capitol riot, the DOJ alleged, showing them videos of his participation and "bragging about it at work."

The FBI on July 28 hit Smith with a slew of charges, including knowingly entering or remaining in a restricted building without authority, disorderly and disruptive conduct in a restricted building, violent entry and disorderly conduct on Capitol grounds and parading, demonstrating or picketing in a Capitol building.

Two coworkers also confirmed to the FBI that Smith hadn't attended work on January 6, the day of the riot. He told one coworker that "it was the best day of his life," according to the DOJ. The department alleged he told another "he had a great time" and was one of the rioters who entered House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's office.

The Capitol riot left five people, including one police officer, dead. So far, at least 605 people have been charged in relation to the riot....

Ironically, millions are now gloating over the bust of Donald Smith.

Former SEAL Who Says He Shot Bin Laden Appears To Muse About Insurrection

...

This US military veteran views the Taliban's success as an inspiration to talk openly about recruiting others to join in a violent rebellion to overthrow our government. I can assure you he's not the only Trumper thinking that. Hoping the FBI is watching.

Oh look. Another traitor fantasizing about overthrowing democracy.

Truly insane how in the span of 20 years the far right have gone from making country music songs about putting their boots in Taliban asses to 'you know what, those guys have the right idea, i like the cut of their jib'

Being jealous of the Taliban is not something I'd brag about on Twitter.

I know, that's why I've been calling you guys the American Taliban for years. Because you believe in violence over democracy, you don't give a shit about anyone else's rights and now you're openly envious of the fucking Taliban. You never understood what America is about.

... O’Neill’s life has taken some strange turns since 2011.

He first came forward claiming to be the specific soldier who killed bin Laden in 2014 ― which sparked controversy among at least some of the 24 Navy SEALs who carried out the raid, because they were all sworn to secrecy, CBS News reported.

In 2015, O’Neill parlayed the notoriety into a contributor gig on Fox News. In 2019 he attempted to launch a stand-up comedy career.

Last August, he was banned from Delta Air Lines for not wearing a mask on a flight, and in October, he criticized then-President Donald Trump for promoting a false conspiracy theory that the SEALs actually killed a body double of bin Laden.

Capitol rioter sentencing postponed after release of new incriminating footage

A Capitol rioter's sentencing was abruptly canceled when more incriminating footage surfaced from the insurrection.

In June, Robert Reeder pleaded guilty to one misdemeanor charge of parading, demonstrating, and picketing in the federal building; a crime that Buzzfeed describes as "a nonviolent offense and one of the lowest-level charges filed in connection with the Jan. 6 insurrection."

Although U.S. prosecutors reportedly wanted him to be sentenced to at least two months behind bars, he was reportedly prepared to argue for no jail time at all.

However, prosecutors' latest development may derail Reeder's case and ultimately his argument about jail time....

In one video, Reeder could be heard narrating details about his experience at the Capitol. In that video, he said, "Just left the Capitol, I was one of the last people out. I was in there for over half an hour. I got gassed several times inside the Capitol, many times outside the Capitol. Got shot with pepper balls. It was fucking nuts. We had to do... ah... battle with the Police inside. It was crazy... absolutely insane."

However, footage of another clip uploaded to social media depicts a very different encounter as it allegedly shows Reeder attacking a police officer. Judge Hogan admitted that he was "'obviously concerned' about the new development because the original evidence in Reeder's case portrayed him as an 'observer' more than a 'participant.'" ...

Opps.

'Definitely slicing a throat': Capitol rioter charged with threatening Sen. Raphael Warnock

A New York City Proud Boy pleaded guilty for threatening to slice "a throat" and assassinate freshman Sen. Raphael Warnock, R-Ga., before and during the Capitol insurrection.

The Queens man, Eduard Florea, 41, admitted to his own guilt by video on Monday from a federal jail in Brooklyn, and is now facing up to fifteen years in prison for one count of transmitting threats to injure and another count of possessing ammunition after a previous conviction.

Court documents show Florea's increasingly violent rhetoric leading up to the swearing in of Warnock, who in a momentous Georgia runoff election last year established himself as the state's first black senator in U.S. history.

"Warnock is going to have a hard time casting votes for communist policies when he's swinging with the fish," Florea wrote on Parler, a microblog popular with conservatives, on Jan. 5, just ahead of the fatal riot he participated in a day later.

"Dead men can't pass [expletive] laws," he added that day, also mentioning "definitely slicing a throat" during the coming insurgency.

As the riot unfolded, Florea disseminated messages to his fellow insurrectionists looking to breach the Capitol and thereafter attack sitting politicians. "I am ready," he wrote on Parler. "We need to regroup outside of DC and attack from all sides … talking to some other guys … I will keep watching for the signal."

Florea continued: "The time for peace and civility is over," he wrote on the app. "Guns cleaned loaded … got a bunch of guys all armed and ready to deploy … we are just waiting for the word,"

"It's time to unleash some violence," the Proud Boy added.

On January 12, federal agents stormed Florea's neighborhood in Queens, raiding his home, where they found over 1,000 rounds of ammunition, swords, hatchets, and nearly 80 military-style combat knives. According to The New York Times, Florea had already been convicted of illegally possessing an AR-15 and a semiautomatic shotgun back in 2014, rendering his recent possession of ammunition illegal.

Florea is set to be sentenced on November 29, according to federal prosecutors.

"With today's guilty plea, Florea admits to threatening the life of a successful candidate for the U.S. Senate and to urging others to take up arms to unleash violence at the Capitol," Jacquelyn M. Kasulis, the acting U.S. attorney for the Eastern District of New York, said in a statement. "This office is deeply committed to protecting our democratic institutions and to using all available tools to preserve the public safety, uphold the rule of law and support the peaceful transfer of power."

Back in March, a federal indictment revealed that 60 Proud Boys had used encrypted messages to plan out their attack on the Capitol. So far, at least 25 members of the far-right militia have been charged in connection to the riot.

"up to fifteen years in prison" - Lock him up!

Infowars host Owen Shroyer charged in Jan. 6 Capitol riot

... He faces misdemeanor charges such as disorderly conduct and entering a restricted area of Capitol grounds....

Authorities say Shroyer was vocal in advance of Jan. 6 about stopping the certification of the Electoral College vote. The day before the riot, he spoke at Freedom Plaza, declaring: “Americans are ready to fight. We’re not exactly sure what that’s going to look like perhaps in a couple of weeks if we can’t stop this certification of the fraudulent election ... we are the new revolution! We are going to restore and we are going to save the republic!" according to the court papers.

They're failed revolutionary clowns, criminally imperiled laughingstocks.

Shroyer was arrested in December 2019 for shouting during a House Judiciary Committee impeachment hearing. He received a deferred prosecution agreement in that case, in which he agreed to do community service and follow certain conditions, like not engaging in disorderly or disruptive conduct on Capitol grounds, according to court documents.

He hadn't completed any of the required community service hours as of Jan. 6, so that agreement was still in effect, authorities said.

Opps.

Shroyer is the second person who works for Infowars to face federal charges stemming from Jan. 6.

Samuel Montoya, an Infowars video editor, was arrested in April on charges including impeding passage through the Capitol grounds. Montoya spoke on an Infowars show about witnessing a police officer shoot and kill a woman inside the Capitol.

Nearly 600 people have been charged with federal crimes in the deadly riot that interrupted the certification of President Joe Biden’s victory, and nearly 40 people have pleaded guilty.

Dozens of people — including a former Tennessee sheriff’s deputy arrested this week — have been charged with assaulting law enforcement officers who were trying to protect the Capitol.

Video shows Ronald Colton McAbee, who left the Williamson County Sheriff’s Office in March, wearing a “Make America Great Again" hat and a black tactical vest with the word “sheriff” on it as he brawled with officers at a Capitol archway, authorities said in court documents. Authorities said he was also wearing an insignia linked to the Three Percenters antigovernment extremist movement.

McAbee, wearing metal-knuckled gloves and armed with a baton or stick, tried to drag an officer who had been thrown to the ground toward the mob, according to court documents. When another officer tried to come to the aid of his colleague, McAbee swung at him before turning back to the other officer, pulling him out of the archway and pinning him down....

Lock them up.

Yet Shroyer only faces onlmisdemeanor charges

These people wanted to overthrow our government.

To me this is worse than an American who, right or wrong, goes to another country and takes up arms with them to defend against an American attack.

Remember the kid from California or Washington who was picked up in Afghanistan early on - I believe he got 20 years and there was an outcry that it wasn't enough.

John Walker Lindh

... Release

On May 23, 2019, Lindh was released from the Terre Haute, Indiana federal prison prior to the end of his 20-year sentence for good behavior, although he accepted several probation requirements due to his continued support of Islamist ideology. These requirements included a ban from Internet use and contact with fellow extremists. The probation lasts for the remaining three years of his sentence.

Looks like he'll be completely free within a year.

GOP Lawmakers Sent Threatening Letter To Wrong CEO To Thwart Jan. 6 Probe

Misaddressing the letter is a humorous example of their incompetence, but it's the least troublesome thing about this letter.

Eleven Republican lawmakers sent a letter to Yahoo urging the company not to cooperate with a House investigation into the Jan. 6 insurrection, except they addressed it to a CEO who left more than four years ago.

The lawmakers, including Reps. Mo Brooks (of Alabama), Madison Cawthorn (N.C), Marjorie Taylor Greene (Ga.), Paul Gosar (Ariz.) and Lauren Boebert (Colo.), sent letters to 13 businesses telling them not to comply with requests from the House select committee investigating the events of Jan. 6.

The committee requested that certain phone and social media companies preserve the records of individuals not publicly identified as linked to the insurrection as well as those involved in the “Stop the Steal” rally. The House probe is attempting to determine who was actively involved in planning the violence aimed at overturning the presidential election. Some of the relevant subjects could involve Republican lawmakers, including some of those who sent the letters.

Brooks and Cawthorn, for example, revved up the crowd with speeches at the “Stop the Steal” rally that preceded the siege of the U.S. Capitol. Brooks even wore body armor at the rally.

In the letters, the GOP lawmakers reportedly threatened the companies, saying they would use “all legal remedies” to go after them if they comply with the committee’s requests.

The letter that was addressed to Yahoo CEO Marissa Mayer, which was obtained by Forbes, revealed some of the Republican Party’s strong-arm tactics being used against businesses to persuade them to obstruct justice, critics said. Except Mayer departed from Yahoo in 2017. Yahoo’s current CEO is Guru Gowrappan.

Other companies contacted included Amazon, AOL, Apple, AT&T, Facebook, Google, Microsoft, Snap, T-Mobile, Twitter, U.S. Cellular Corporation and Verizon, per Forbes.

Last week, the watchdog group Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington (CREW) filed an ethics complaint against House Minority Leader Rep. Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) and Greene, who both claimed that the companies could be shut down if they complied with the committee’s requests.

“House rules require members to uphold the laws of the United States and to conduct themselves at all times in a manner that reflects creditably on the House. The threats of McCarthy and Greene do neither,” said the complaint, which was filed with the chief counsel of the Office of Congressional Ethics. “Threatening retaliation for complying with legally valid document demands and preservation requests appears to violate 18 U.S.C. § 1505, which prohibits obstructing congressional investigations, and does not reflect creditably on the House.′

CREW President Noah Bookbinder said in a statement that McCarthy and Greene were “transparently trying to thwart the select committee by illegally threatening companies with reprisals if they comply with the committee’s proper and lawful requests — quite possibly to protect themselves.”

Quite certainly. Traitors.

“On January 6, we saw the gravest domestic attack on our democracy since the Civil War. Blatant obstruction of the investigation could leave our nation even more vulnerable to a future attack,” Bookbinder said.

The outrage over phone records is ironic given the Trump administration’s secretive intrusion into private communications. Under Donald Trump, the Justice Department secretly seized phone records of reporters at The New York Times, CNN and The Washington Post.

GOP threats to hurt companies complying with Jan. 6 committee have no teeth, lawyers say

... Lawyers who focus on telecom and tech companies and government policies that affect them say McCarthy is making empty threats in regards to federal law.

“There is no legal basis for his threats whatsoever. These companies share this kind of information with the government after being subpoenaed all the time,” said Harold Feld, a tech policy expert and a lawyer at consumer group Public Knowledge.

“It’s pretty ugly what McCarthy is doing. You shouldn’t be threatening companies with government payback and blackmail. To say we will punish you if you comply with the investigation is not rule of law — that’s thug life,” Feld said.

He added that if it was illegal for companies to comply with government information requests, then any entity cooperating with Congress or law enforcement regarding investigations into child molesters or terrorists would be breaking the law as well.

RepuQs are cowardly liars.

Other lawyers said McCarthy is afraid of what the Jan. 6 committee could find if companies cooperate with the congressional investigation.

“McCarthy is fearmongering without any legal foundation and using political vengeance because he’s afraid of what will come to the surface about Republicans and their potential complicity for what happened on Jan. 6th,” said Berin Szoka, a lawyer and the president of TechFreedom, a libertarian-leaning technology policy think tank.

Expose the traitors and lock them up.

He said that Republicans are likely to use the same investigative powers that Democrats are using for their own political gain and advantage if the GOP takes back control of the House in 2022.

“The irony is Republicans are decrying the use of subpoenas that they will use themselves against perceived enemies in the future. You could totally see them trying to subpoena anyone involved in the BLM protests, Democrats, and others,” Szoka said.

Expose the hypocrites and shame them.

... Conservative lawyers say that Republicans who threaten companies from complying with congressional investigations are not living up to their values.

“Republicans like McCarthy should realize that threatening companies for actions they dislike works counter to conservative principles. It's like trying to work the refs, and it's not right,” said Carl Szabo, a vice president and general counsel at NetChoice, an advocacy group that represents companies, including Amazon and Google, that oppose government regulation of online platforms....

Expose the authoritarian communists and drive them out of office.

Greer man becomes latest South Carolinian charged in Capitol riot

A Greer man has become at least the 10th South Carolinian to be charged in connection to the Jan. 6 Capitol riot, according to federal court documents made public Wednesday.

James D. Lollis Jr. of Greer is charged with entering and remaining in a restricted building or grounds; disorderly and disruptive conduct in a restricted building or grounds; disorderly conduct in a Capitol building and parading, demonstrating, or picketing in a Capitol building....

At at least one point on the day of the riot, Lollis was the companion of Derek Cooper Gunby of Anderson, who is also facing multiple charges in connection to the Capitol violence, according to court records. Gunby's court records were made public in August.

Gunby was describing what had happened at the Capitol in a video posted on social media when he turned the camera to show a man on the Metro identified as Lollis, according to court documents....
