FBI: Capitol rioters claim officer told them 'it's your house now'

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

Two men arrested in connection to the Capitol riot last week claim that an officer shook their hands after they entered the building and told them "it's your house now," according to the FBI.

Robert Bauer and his cousin Edward Hemenway admitted to agents that they were among the scores of people who entered the building on Jan. 6, according to a complaint filed Thursday.

Bauer, who is from Kentucky, told agents that he traveled with his wife to Washington, D.C., for the pro-Trump rally that day and they stayed with Hemenway in Virginia for part of the trip.

All three reportedly attended the rally on Jan. 6 and joined the crowd in marching toward the Capitol after President Trump told supporters they would go to the building, the complaint states.

1. And?? You're still criminals.

edit to add: If my bank teller tells me I can take ALL the money from the vault, if I do, I am still guilty of a crime and will go to jail.

3. They are like very young children. No sense of right or wrong.

Actually young children may have better judgement.

2. They need to identify the officer

It would help their case.

The above is a ruse, a method police use frequently, and a polite way of saying lie.

4. Yes. Easy to show them pictures of Capitol police officers and ID the officer in question.

That is, if the FBI even believes their story.
I would think that if true someone else would report that same story.
