In a new filing, the DoJ said it believes Oath Keeper Jason Dolan hid multiple firearms including one he gave to his 7 year old daughter as well as an Oath Keeper t-shirt, gloves & a gaiter he wore into the Capitol on Jan. 6, all in an effort to "delete or secrete evidence"

A magistrate ordered Dolan's release after his arrest last week, but prosecutors are moving for that to be revoked & for Dolan to remain behind.
They claim he's "similarly situated" to Kenneth Harrelson, another defendant in the Oath Keepers case who did not receive bond.

Replying to @kenbensinger
Both Dolan and Harrelson traveled to DC together, appeared to stash weapons in the same Virginia hotel, and entered the Capitol together. But when FBI agents searched Dolan's house, they found no firearms or ammo whatsoever.

But neighbors told the FBI Dolan had "at least two assault rifles & a 9mm handgun." The contact photo for Dolan's wife shows her holding an AR-15 style rifle. And YouTube records show Dolan posted comments about his guns and bragged about buying his 7 year old daughter a gun.
Defense Dept records show Dolan was a marksmanship instructor while in the Marines, prosecutors said. And surveillance photos from the Comfort Inn show Dolan and Harrelson wheeling what appear to be gun cases into the hotel on Jan 5 and out again on Jan 7.

Here are the pics the DoJ included to show Dolan and Harrelson with what it claims are gun cases on a cart in the hotel.
Prosecutors also say Dolan gave an anonymous interview to Gateway Pundit in May claiming someone inside the Capitol released magnetically locked doors, allowing the crowds into the building.

Although the interviewee's voice was masked, prosecutors say they can identify it as Dolan & that he was "espousing a troubling conspiracy-theory belief that the Capitol Police wanted the rioters to come inside the building. That shows "a lack of remorse and continued danger."
Dolan appears to have deleted all his email on March 10, two days after Harrelson was arrested, prosecutors say. They also rebut claims by Dolan's attorney* that he had "cut off contact" with the Oath Keepers, but cell phone records show he called Harrelson on March 2, 4 & 9.

*Dolan's attorney is Michael van der Veen, who was one of Donald Trump's defense lawyers during his 2nd impeachment trial, as noted yesterday by @ryanjreilly
van der Veen argued for Dolan's release during a 4-hour detention hearing held last week.

One more interesting thing to note here is that the DoJ claims it has arrested 10 of the 13 people identified as being part of the Oath Keeper "stack" that entered the Capitol on Jan. 6. Three others, it would seem, are still at large.

Here is the full motion, along with a prior detention motion, transcripts of Dolan's detention hearing (spread over 2 days) and a transcript of the Gateway Pundit interview.
