11. CNN: Key arrests from the Capitol riot so far
Mon Jan 11, 2021, 01:51 PM
Jan 2021

As new details about Wednesday's pro-Trump riot emerge, it has become obvious that lawmakers faced more imminent danger than was understood as the attack unfolded on live television:


"We were trapped ... I had a pen in my pocket that I could use as a weapon and was looking for other weapons as well" as the vicious crowd breached the building, Democratic Rep. Jason Crow, who served as an Army Ranger in Iraq and Afghanistan, also said in the CNN "New Day" interview.

The top federal prosecutor in Washington, DC, Michael Sherwin, said he expected hundreds of people could be charged in the aftermath of the attack, and investigations may take months to understand it fully.

"I would not be surprised if we find loose affiliations of groups that were organized and had plans in place," Sherwin said Sunday. "We saw in some of these individuals we identified -- they look paramilitary almost, right? You've got the uniform, you've got communication, you have all the paraphernalia. Those show indications of affiliation and a command-and-control. So I believe we are going to find those hallmarks."

Cops knew Trump rioter was a danger after his own family warned them about his QAnon obsession

A Trump supporter from Georgia who was arrested for taking part in last week's deadly Capitol building riots was previously flagged to police as dangerous by his own family members who worried about his obsession with the QAnon conspiracy theory.

Local news station 11 Alive reports that Trump supporter Cleveland Meredith Jr., who was arrested for threatening to murder House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA), previously came up on law enforcement officials' radar after they received warnings from his family about his behavior.

"Hiawassee Police Chief Paul Smith told 11Alive Meredith was known to them because when he moved there from Atlanta, Meredith's own family alerted the department because they were concerned about his behavior and ties to QAnon," reports 11 Alive.

Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-CO), a gun-toting supporter of the QAnon movement, is facing backlash after she was accused of live-tweeting House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's (D-CA) location during the attack on Capitol Hill last week.

Boebert shared the tweet soon after President Donald Trump's supporters stormed the Capitol with deadly results.

"The Speaker has been removed from the chambers," Boebert wrote.

47. CNN:2 Capitol Police officers suspended and 10-15 more under investigation
Mon Jan 11, 2021, 07:34 PM
Jan 2021

for alleged roles in riot

Two US Capitol Police officers were suspended and up to 15 more are under investigation for their behavior during last week's assault on the Capitol, and federal agents will look at whether current and former law enforcement officers played a role in the riot.

One of the Capitol police officers took a selfie with someone who was part of the mob that overtook the Capitol and the other wore a "Make America Great Again" hat and started directing people around the building, according to Rep. Tim Ryan, an Ohio Democrat. He didn't disclose how many other officers were under investigation but confirmed it was between 10 and 15, and didn't say what they were being scrutinized for except that it was their behavior during the riot.

Ryan added that one individual had been arrested, but he did not know if that person was a police officer or part of the National Guard. He said more details on the arrest would come later.

The federal investigative interest is a priority and a part of the broader investigation into the mob at the Capitol, sources said. The investigation into insurrectionist ties to law enforcement is a priority because the skills that officers are trained to use during their duties could be useful to an extremist mob, authorities say. This includes clearing rooms, taking custody of people, securing areas and handling firearms.

Sessions was caught deleting the tweet by Inside Elections reporter Jacob Rubashkin, who was combing through a series of deleted tweets by elected officials.

"Had a great meeting today with folks from "Stop the Steal" at our nation's Capitol. I encouraged them to keep fighting and assured them I look forward to doing MY duty on January 6," he said, including hashtags #StopTheSteal and #legalvotescount.

Mon Jan 11, 2021, 10:08 PM
Jan 2021

Jeffrey Levin@jilevin

Members of a mob, many unmasked, roamed the halls of the Capitol. Unmasked Republicans jammed into secure rooms. The outcome is worrisome to many members of Congress.





On both sides of the Capitol, lawmakers, aides, police officers and reporters who had fled to secure locations have been warned that they might have been exposed to the coronavirus while hiding from the mob. Some people who had taken refuge in a room that included senators have been warned of possible exposure, while Dr. Brian P. Monahan, the attending physician of Congress, wrote to House lawmakers telling them to obtain a P.C.R. test as a precaution and to continue taking preventive steps against the spread of the virus.

In a letter referring to a crowded House safe room, Dr. Monahan said that “the time in this room was several hours for some and briefer for others,” warning that “individuals may have been exposed to another occupant with coronavirus infection” during that period.

That person has not been identified, but Representative Bonnie Watson Coleman, Democrat of New Jersey, announced Monday that she had tested positive. She directly pointed at a handful of Republicans who had refused to wear masks in the room despite entreaties from Democrats to do so.

58. Georgia Attorney makes multiple threats against Biden, Harris, and Stacy Abrams
Mon Jan 11, 2021, 10:20 PM
Jan 2021

Houston Scott@HoustonScott812

This is McCall Calhoun.

He’s from Americus, Ga and he’s an attorney.

Yesterday he broke into the Capital building.

He has made multiple threats on Parler against politicians including Biden, Harris, and Stacy Abrams.

I have about 200 screenshots, I will post them all.





NOTE: Houston Scott has posted a whole thread filled with Calhoun's threats.

When hundreds of pro-Trump protesters stunned and horrified the nation by forcing their way into the United States Capitol Wednesday, self-described “Anti-Communist Counter-Revolutionary” McCall Calhoun was among the first through the doors.

“The Deep State cannot stop us,” he wrote on Parler, a social media network popular with Trump supporters, “They learned that today when we stormed the Capitol and took it. The word is we’re all coming back armed for war.”

Calhoun, a practicing attorney in Americus for 30 years, admitted his participation in the riot in an exclusive interview with the AJC in which he described the mob as patriotic and heroic.
