Breach of the Capitol: Consequences, Repercussions & Reactions

[WolfGate]

Well there was apparently one guy who was recording the protest on video and not trespassing or doing anything violent, and was released after being questioned by the police.

Some people seem to think that somehow means that every rioter should have gotten off just as easily...

John Sullivan, leftist activist, arrested, charged in Capitol riot - Washington Times

Seems there was one - claimed to be recording but prosecutors say his film says he was encouraging the rioters from inside the Capitol.

He added, "They felt like they would just walk up there and tell us that they're here to take back Congress and we would agree with them and we'd walk in hand in hand and just take over the nation. But obviously that's not the case and it will never be the case."

Entitlement....

Rioters wanted to ‘capture and assassinate’ lawmakers, prosecutors say. A note left by the ‘█████ Shaman’ is evidence.

In a court filing late on Thursday, federal prosecutors in Phoenix wrote that “strong evidence, including [shaman dude] Chansley’s own words and actions at the Capitol, supports that the intent of the Capitol rioters was to capture and assassinate elected officials in the United States government.”

[DOJ has walked that back]

[defense lawyer]: “He took seriously the countless messages of President Trump. He believed in President Trump,” Watkins said. “Like tens of millions of other Americans, Chansley felt — for the first time in his life — as though his voice was being heard.”

[From the court filing]: When questioned as to the meaning of that statement [“it's only a matter of time, justice is coming.”] Chansley went on a lengthy diatribe describing current and past United States political leaders as infiltrators, specifically naming Vice President Mike Pence, former President Barack Obama, former Senator Hillary Clinton and U.S. President-elect Joe Biden as infiltrators involved in various types of wrongdoing.

How the rioters who stormed the Capitol came dangerously close to Pence

Secret Service officers eventually spirited Pence to a room off the Senate floor with his wife and daughter after rioters began to pour into the Capitol, many loudly denouncing the vice president as a traitor as they marched through the first floor below the Senate chamber.

About one minute after Pence was hustled out of the chamber, a group charged up the stairs to a second-floor landing in the Senate, chasing a Capitol Police officer who drew them away from the Senate.

Pence and his family had just ducked into a hideaway less than 100 feet from that landing, according to three people familiar with his whereabouts, who spoke on the condition of anonymity because of the sensitivity of the situation. If the pro-Trump mob had arrived seconds earlier, the attackers would have been in eyesight of the vice president as he was rushed across a reception hall into the office.

That is from The Washington Post, not some obscure website.

It is chilling.

But rest assured for some that will be enough for them to believe that antifa plotted the whole thing and the people being arrested are being targeted while the real bad guys are left alone.

Texas Real Estate Agent Who Took Private Jet to Capitol Riot Is Arrested

Oh, she has a potty mouth, so no link.

A Texas real estate agent who took a private jet to the Capitol last week and called it “one best days of my life” was charged Friday for participating in the violent insurrection.

Jenna Ryan, a Frisco, Texas real estate broker and life coach, has been charged with knowingly entering or remaining in a restricted building without lawful authorities and disorderly conduct on Capitol grounds after documenting her two-day excursion to D.C. on social media.

Ryan went on a PR offensive after the riot, telling Spectrum News that she “answered the call of my president” and proudly stormed the Capitol because the election was rigged.

[previously] she posted a bathroom mirror selfie on Facebook with the caption: “We’re gonna go down and storm the capitol. They’re down there right now and that’s why we came and so that’s what we are going to do. So wish me luck.” She added: “This is a prelude going to war.”

By the time Ryan made it to the door of a building “clearly desecrated, with broken glass windows shattered, and security alarms sounding,” she yelled “U-S-A! U-S-A!” and “Here we are, in the name of Jesus!,” the complaint says.

“You can never cancel Jenna Ryan,” she wrote. However, by Monday, she said her publisher had canceled her self help book that was due out next month.

An Arkansas man caught on video beating a Washington, D.C., cop with an American flagpole during the Capitol riots was charged on Thursday.

Peter Francis Stager has been charged with obstructing a law enforcement officer for allegedly beating a Metropolitan Police officer who was guarding an entrance of the U.S. Capitol.

Prosecutors allege in a criminal complaint that members of the MAGA mob who stormed the building last Wednesday grabbed the officer, dragged him down a flight of stairs, and forced him into a “prone position,” before “forcibly and repeatedly” hitting him in the head and body with “various objects.”

“Everybody in there is a treasonous traitor. Death is the only remedy for what’s in that building,” Stager can be heard saying in a second video, according to the criminal complaint.

...

Joshua Black, from Leeds, Alabama, was also charged with violent entry and entering restricted grounds on Thursday after claiming he wanted to storm the Capitol so he could “plead the blood of Jesus over it.”

“Once we found out Pence turned on us and that they had stolen the election like officially, the crowd went crazy. I mean, it became a mob. We crossed the gate,” Black said in a YouTube video, according to a criminal complaint.

Black said in the YouTube video that “the spirit of God” wanted him to storm the Senate.

Thank you ladies for your service!

Bumble removed its political filter after hot liberal women apparently used it to lure conservatives who were at the Capitol riot into sending incriminating evidence and forwarded it to the FBI

DOJ has walked that back

Justice Department prosecutors have formally walked back their assertion in a court filing that said Capitol rioters sought to "capture and assassinate elected officials."

In court, Todd Allison, a line prosecutor for the Justice Department in Arizona, said DOJ may want to argue that type of assertion if Chansley goes to trial, but cannot say that at the moment.

"We do not want to mislead the court by discussing the strength of any specific evidence" related to his intent, Allison said.

Seriously, what would you have thought if 5 years ago someone would have told you the my pillow guy and the apprentice host were plotting to take over the US?

Perhaps they were just floating the idea for Trump Pillows.

Alas, no. Since Mr. Pillow is otnay ootay rightbay, he walked into the white house with his plans on view. Things like "[Ins]urrection Act now" are pretty clear. It looks like China/Iran stormed the Capitol.
