Oaf Creeper charged over Capitol riot planned extensively online and stormed the building

in military formation, prosecutors say

A man accused of storming the Capitol as part of the Oath Keepers group extensively planned the attack online, according to federal prosecutors.

David Moerschel, 43, from Punta Gorda, Florida was arrested on Friday and charged with three counts including conspiracy and obstruction of an official proceeding, according to the criminal complaint.

Investigators identified Moerschel in video from the Capitol wearing Oath Keepers gear and say he appeared to employ military-style tactics on January 6.

The complaint says that investigators linked Moerschel's phone number to around 17 planning calls between September 28, 2020, and January 3, 2021, with other Oath Keepers charged in connection with the riot.

The FCC knows this which is why they put on a warning several months ago reminding users discussing illegal activities over radio waves is a felony.
