Prosecutors filed a motion Friday asking a judge not to loosen restrictions on suspected Capitol rioter Riley Williams because they say she recently met with a man who wanted to shoot up a synagogue and lied about it.

Williams, 23, who is accused of directing rioters inside the Capitol and stealing Nancy Pelosi’s laptop, told probation officers she was getting a visit from her cousin in August. But the visit actually was from a man who had been convicted of stealing his roommate’s truck, and attempting to buy a gun with plans for a mass shooting at a synagogue, according to the motion.

Maria Y. Fedor, from the U.S. Attorney’s office in Washington D.C., filed the 13-page document Friday in response to Williams’ request last week for the court to loosen restrictions placed on her as she awaits trial because she said they are too burdensome.

Prosecutors say Williams also got her mother to lie to her probation officer about the visit by the man in August 2021 to her mother’s home, where she is residing, according to the motion. Williams’ mother was assigned by the court to be her third-party monitor to ensure she complies with the conditions of her pre-trial release.

The man was convicted, kicked out of the Marine Corp, and sentenced to 19 months in prison. He told Williams about his prior arrest, according to court documents. The records contained a foot note that the government believes the man at some point became her fiancé.

1. No one should be shocked

This is the same psycho bitch from hell that had the dancing nazi salute video. Surprised she is now working with a washed out marine to shoot up a synagog? Not me. Throw her back in jail where she belongs.

2. It's just weird

how all these interwoven webs of the lives of these rioters somehow manages to wind up with a nazi, time and time again.

I mean, it's not like Trump kept Mein Kampf in his beside table or anything, right?

Weird, huh?

3. She's a real peach

4. It wasn't Mein Kampf.

It was a collection of Hitler’s speeches called “My New Order.”

I understand that TDFG lifted passages from it wholesale for his own speeches. I don’t plan to determine which ones, either way. Even touching such a book, or a digitization of it, would make my skin crawl.

5. If her mother lied to the probation officer under her direction...

... then her pre-trial release should be rescinded. She is obviously looking to defy her probation conditions, and her mother is clearly not a trustworthy monitor.

6. I had always been mystified and intrigued...

...by the fact that in Nazi Germany, adult men, who were teachers, healthcare workers, accountants, shopkeepers etc., somehow became the men standing on the rim of a pit with machine guns mowing down men, women and children, who had once been their neighbors and coworkers, simply because they were Jewish, that they had different political beliefs or that they were differently enabled. The events of the past five years have blown away any questions I had about how that transformation took place. We are now looking at citizens, armed with assault rifles, ready to kill those who's world view or religion somehow offends them...
This young woman was probably raised a Christian, she's white, privileged, indulged and affluent. Yet here we are... watching her become radicalized right in front of our eyes.
Those who forget history... yada... yada repeat yada...

7. there should be a hearing about locking her up until trial, not loosening anything

and when does her trial start? She was arrested ages ago! Why hasn't she been tried yet!
