On January 6, 2021, Riley June Williams, a 22-year-old home care worker from Pennsylvania, was one of roughly 800 rioters who breached the US Capitol building in Washington D.C. While many engaged in property damage and violence that day, Williams’ case stands out given her ex-partner has alleged to the FBI that she stole a laptop from Nancy Pelosi’s office.

This former boyfriend also alleges that her goal was to sell the laptop to a Russian intelligence agency, a claim January court documents say “remains under investigation,” but which has been denied by Williams’ lawyer who accuses the former partner of seeking revenge.

While Williams has not been charged with stealing the laptop itself, something she also denies, she faces multiple charges including violent entry and disorderly conduct on Capitol grounds as well aiding/abetting others to “embezzle, steal, purloin.”

Footage from January 6 released by ITV News shows Williams urging rioters upstairs towards Congressional offices. In one video from inside Pelosi’s office, a voice that the FBI states it believes to be Williams’ says “dude, put on gloves” before a gloved hand takes a laptop from a table. The affidavit links to a thread of captured Discord posts from a user named Riley bragging, “STOLE SHITT FROM NANCY POLESI [sic]”.

In an interview with ITV on January 16, Williams’ mother described her daughter as getting caught up in the moment. She noted that Riley had been radicalized on far-right message boards but described her daughter’s main political goal as, “…wanting America to get the correct information”.

1. She really went all out on the masquerade, didn't she?

Those antifa imposters really cover all the bases, what with the misspellings and the aiding and the abetting.

[dhill926]

11. well...with all the help from Soros funded Hollywood elites...

[Takket]

2. she committed espionage for Russia and should never see the light of day again

NBC said she was charged with "unlawful entry and stealing government property"

i certainly hope when the investigation is complete those charges go way WAY up...........

[bdamomma]

4. She

was under her mother's supervision and was under house arrest. Yeah okay, lock her up.

[paleotn]

14. She attempted to sell it to Russian intel

....or at least who she thought was Russian intel. And no, she should never see the light of day ever again. She should contemplate her failures in life in a 7 X 12 for 23 hours of each day. Cruel? Your goddamn right it is and justly deserved.

5. She's described as a "home care worker." Good god! Pity the man, woman who would hire her. n/t

[Deuxcents]

6. Call her what you want

She’s a domestic terrorist n needs to meet the law. First.. come on with the elected.. a slow roll out for Biden’s cabinet.. get “domestic terrorist” their designation..can’t we do more than one thing at a time? It’s maddening that we’re behind thanks to the opposition who still think they’re in charge. Please don’t zap me for this.. I say this with all respect knowing ya can’t turn an aircraft on a dime.

[ChubbyStar]

10. Gee what parent doen't want America to get correct information from a 22 year old?

Sorry I have been and have raised 22 year olds. I will pass on that.

[Solly Mack]

20. That statement showed her mother believed the same garbage the daughter believed.

The family that Qanons together and all that.

[ChubbyStar]

21. Of course Solly I get that

The statement was just so LUDICROUS I had to say something equally ridiculous. Nice to see you.

[Solly Mack]

23. Oh, I wasn't trying to explain it. Sorry. Was thinking about what you said and wondering which got

the other hooked on Qanon.

Typed what I was thinking - that the mother wasn't just defending her child, she was defending her own beliefs.

Sorry, again. I skipped a few steps in my reply.

[ChubbyStar]

24. It's a Mother and Child Qeunion

Sorry to Paul Simon.

22. "caught up in the moment"

F that!

And they try to maintain that this insurrection has nothing to do with Il Douche? Look at that picture! How much more Drumpf could it be?

Her mother must be SO proud, and from the little she said, you can't help but conclude that she's at least supportive.
