On Jan. 6, Landon Mitchell bragged to a Facebook friend that he “breached the Capitol” and was “one of the very first in” when a pro-Trump mob stormed the halls of Congress. He appeared in video on the floor of the U.S. Senate, went through a senator’s desk and took to the dais, where he posed next to the so-called QAnon Shaman.

Later, when a friend feared that the FBI might arrest Mitchell, he wrote that he was “invincible” and “not too worried” because he “was masked up the whole time” he was inside the Capitol.

The FBI arrested Mitchell on Wednesday.

Mitchell was accompanied to the Capitol by Luke Wessley Bender, a former co-worker who was arrested by the FBI on July 29. Bender, the feds said, identified Mitchell during an interview after his arrest.

[Ferrets are Cool]

1. I am happy he was arrested, but why the HELL did it take this long?

[Ocelot II]

4. Because there are so many of them.

[GoCubsGo]

8. That's on top of numerous other crimes not related to Jan. 6th.

And, only so many agents to deal with all of it.

[Ocelot II]

2. He's about to be very surprised.

[ProfessorGAC]

3. Not Too Bright

Admitting on FB that he was there & not worried because of a mask.
Meaning, of course, the guy in the video with the witch doctor nut, wearing the mask is him.
Didn't take Holmes to track him down.

5. What about the friend to whom he confessed?

Isn’t he culpable for not dropping a dime once he knew about it?

[TomSlick]

13. Probably not.

The average citizen has no duty to drop dimes. If subpoenaed, the government is entitled to their testimony but they are not required to come forward unbidden.

6. Let's see if he's indicted for anything stronger than littering.

Hopefully right after his Cancun vacay.

7. "I'm invincible" is what an ex-friend told me about covid.

No idea how she's doing.

9. Did any of these arrests get caught on camera?

I'd love to put that on a loop....

10. He must have taken off his MAGA hat sometime in the last 9 months..

thus temporarily losing his superpowers.

[Mysterian]

11. He's got the look

of someone with less than a genius IQ.
