Robert Sanford, the retired PA firefighter who has been charged in the DC riot, went to the Capitol following "the President's instructions," a complaining witness told the FBI.

Peter Harding, a Buffalo area man, has been charged by feds in the Capitol riot. The FBI notes that he was captured in social media photo lighting fire to media camera equipment outside building before entering.
The FBI says Kevin Lyons was "evasive" at first about being inside the Capitol. Then, when agents showed him an Instagram pic he'd taken & posted of Nancy Pelosi's office, he caved.
"Wow, you're pretty good," he said. "That was only up for an hour."
Kevin Seefried told the feds that he and his son Hunter went to DC on Jan. 6 from their home in Delaware "to hear President Trump speak."
They brought along the Confederate battle flag from the house "where it is usually displayed outside."
The feds were able to find & charge Jenny Cudd of Texas in part b/c she posted a FB video of her incursion on the Capitol.
"We did break down Nancy Pelosi's office door & somebody stole her gavel..." Cudd said. "...Hell yes I am proud of my actions."
A bail hearing is about to begin in the case of Cleveland Meredith.
Meredith has been charged w/traveling to DC w/an assault rifle, a pistol painted like a US flag and armor piercing rounds. He's also accused of threatening to kill Nancy Pelosi & Mayor Muriel Bowser of DC.
The govt starts the hearing by arguing that the "interstate communication of threats" is a crime of violence and so Meredith should be detained.
Meredith's lawyer counters that's incorrect under case law.
Judge Michael Harvey agrees with the government: sending text messages conveying threats against people is a crime of violence.

More from Government

They shouldn't be.

The pattern is:
GOP in power - GOP dictates policy

Dems in power - GOP dictates policy


The Dems shouldn't legislate toward the GOP.

The GOP doesn't represent its constituents.

The GOP can push it's agenda on its own time.

If Dems push an agenda that actually helps people, it'll also actually help the GOP constituency.

The GOP won't. So give them nothing.

The Dems should ignore the GOP just like the GOP ignores the Dems.

Make them pay for every moment of obstruction.

Just a hard press on legislation that is unassailable and shine a light on the GOP.

Constant. Relentless. Unyielding.

Shut them out and shut them down.

The GOP is not a legitimate political party. It is an anti-democratic, fascist criminal syndicate with no interest whatsoever in governance.

Nobody should give them the slightest bit of credit or legitimacy ever again.

Not a fucking ounce.

Nobody should engage them in legitimate debate in Congress.

They should be pariahs and treated as unserious occupants of Congress.

Because these people were totally ok with their colleagues being killed in furtherance of the destruction of the insitution.
