Possibly to sell to Russia. Or possibly Nancy’s assistant’s laptop.

Update: the original report was incorrect - apparently she fled, but her ex did ID her.

1. Arrested: Riley Williams, who stole Pelosi's laptop

[cwydro]

53. She's not been arrested.

You should correct your OP.

[theneworiginal]

79. Another real fucking Patriot

who loves her country and hates what the Democrats are doing to destroy it.

Hypocrisy. Disgrace. Treason.


"Lock her up! Lock her up!"

[Takket]

2. She should probably familiarize herself with the Rosenbergs

If she pleads guilty she might escape their fate.

And major kudos to the ex boyfriend for Turing her in. One more treasonous spy off the streets!!!

[exboyfil]

4. All those ex-girlfriend and ex-wives

It is nice to see a guy get in on the fun. Maybe pink hat has a special guy in her
life.

[jaxexpat]

36. No kidding. Talk about break-up revenge! A universal fantasy made real.

[Chicago1980]

47. She probably gave him VD.....

I'd turn her ass in too...

[theneworiginal]

80. It's the new revenge porn but without the sexploitation.

You undress your ex and show everybody who they really are behind the scenes.

[True Dough]

15. Alan Turing her in???

23. It's an enigma! NT

32. LOL!

You guys have some pretty funny algorithms.

34. Could a Trump supporter pass the Turing test?

The Turing test, originally called the imitation game by Alan Turing in 1950, is a test of a machine's ability to exhibit intelligent behaviour equivalent to, or indistinguishable from, that of a human. Turing proposed that a human evaluator would judge natural language conversations between a human and a machine designed to generate human-like responses. The evaluator would be aware that one of the two partners in conversation is a machine, and all participants would be separated from one another. The conversation would be limited to a text-only channel such as a computer keyboard and screen so the result would not depend on the machine's ability to render words as speech. If the evaluator cannot reliably tell the machine from the human, the machine is said to have passed the test. The test results do not depend on the machine's ability to give correct answers to questions, only how closely its answers resemble those a human would give.

I DON"T THINK SO!!!

[DBoon]

86. I don't think Trump supporters could pass the Voight-Kampf test either

The Voight-Kampff machine is a fictional interrogation tool, originating from the novel (where it is spelled "Voigt-Kampff&quot . The Voight-Kampff is a polygraph-like machine used by blade runners to determine whether an individual is a replicant. It measures bodily functions such as respiration, blush response, heart rate and eye movement in response to questions dealing with empathy

3. I guess the......

"Can't we still be friends" thing didn't go over so well with the "ex-boyfriend"...

[obamanut2012]

5. She and her father went together

How sweet.

[mercuryblues]

11. Good.

Now it is a conspiracy. Her charges will be upgraded soon.

[COL Mustard]

22. What Is It With These People?

Who takes Mommy and Daddy to the revolution??

[obamanut2012]

24. Or vice versa?

I play golf with my father. I go to the beach and, in safer days, Disney, with my mother.

Never have we ever tried to overthrow the government together.

[BeerBarrelPolka]

28. LOL

Classic!

[NJCher]

31. First laugh of the day award

Goes to Obamanut!

[obamanut2012]

48. hahaha thanks!

[AZ8theist]

6. TREASON.

I believe the penalty is execution.

[Maru Kitteh]

56. NOT TREASON.

You shall have to set aside your desire for state-facilitated murder. Treason has a very narrow legal definition, and we are not in a declared war with Russia.

https://www.nbcnews.com/think/opinion/americans-have-forgotten-what-treason-actually-means-how-it-can-ncna848651

[AZ8theist]

63. I know EXACTLY what the definition of Treason is....

I used the term colloquially. Perhaps you'd prefer she'd be given a Presidential Medal of Freedom?

[Maru Kitteh]

65. Oh. Nice fallacy ya got hangin' there. Because binary choices are simply all

we have available.

I don't believe we try and convict people, let alone kill them as you called for, "colloquially." The people in that mob would, I'm sure. Thankfully despite their assertions, it is not their country.

[AZ8theist]

85. I will withhold my opinion of your comments.

[triron]

88. Sigh.

[ashredux]

7. A very drastic lifestyle change awaits this young lady...

Hard to believe these folks ARE SO STUPID!

[yankeepants]

8. Riley to ex: "It's not you, it's me." EX: "Damn right it is!"

[UpInArms]

17. But ... she looks nice

[Bongo Prophet]

29. Shoulda got a guitar instead

[dreamland]

59. Look at the size of her TV in the bedroom. Watching all the wrong channels, I guess.

[Vogon_Glory]

9. Now what was that blather that only lefties were traitors

Last edited Mon Jan 18, 2021, 08:48 AM - Edit history (1)

and that all right-wingers, young and old, were stalwart American patriots? I heard a lot of that meme during the eighties and nineties and ground my teeth in anger, despite the actions of the Falcon and the Snowman as well as Robert Hansen. Riley Williams is yet another refutation of that old, lying meme.

I hope they throw the book at her.

[The_REAL_Ecumenist]

19. Hell, I hope they drop an ENTIRE library on her ig'nt ass, ALA the Wicked Witch of the West in the

Wizard of Oz...

[Cha]

10. That will teach you, *****,

to put your GD hands on Nancy Pelosi's laptop & scurry sway like a fooking Cockroach.

[Kahuna]

12. Oy.

[Harker]

13. Why does she hate America? n/t

[elias7]

14. She'll be pardoned before trial by trump

There should be some unpardonable offenses

[Wednesdays]

71. The clock is ticking, though.

Just 50 more hours.

ETA: and she likely doesn't have the $2mil. that Rump is reportedly asking for in exchange for a pardon. So sayonara, sucker!

[UpInArms]

16. I guess all these people

Took the Tom Delay class on mug shots ..



I am sick of their stupid smiles ... they seem oblivious to the harm they have inflicted

[Maru Kitteh]

58. I think that's her driver's licence photo. Looking forward

to seeing her mug shot though. Doubt that will take very long. She does not strike me as having the wit or wile to avoid detection long.

[obamanut2012]

18. She hasn't been arrested, only IDed and charged

The guy who tweeted this is the only cite for this -- I just spent 15 minutes trying to find verification, and there is none.

She will be charged with treason.

[Chichiri]

25. Thank you, I couldn't find that she was arrested either.

Can’t wait until she is.

[obamanut2012]

27. This is literally treason, if there is proof she tried to sell the laptop

To a foreign agent. 22, and she's ruined her life. JFC.

[Maru Kitteh]

54. No. It isn't. Treason has a very, VERY narrow legal definition.

We are not in a declared war with Russia so no, she won't be brought up on charges of treason.


https://www.nbcnews.com/think/opinion/americans-have-forgotten-what-treason-actually-means-how-it-can-ncna848651

[obamanut2012]

78. People in this thread keep saying MSNBC said it but they didn't

They have an arrest warrant and she has been charged, but is has NOT been arrested yet.

[jmowreader]

69. Nope. Theft of government property

During the Cold War, we only charged espionage if someone actually sold classified material to a foreign power. There is no indication she actually sold the laptop to the Russians, so at this point theft of government property and theft of sensitive material (even if not classified, the information on a Congress member’s computer could be damaging in the wrong hands) are the correct charges to levy. Oh, and all the charges that revolve around her being in the building in the first place.

I predict a clean 25 year sentence in a federal high security prison.

[PCIntern]

20. Selling to the Russians....

When I was young, if you even suggested you might do that, you disappeared. Just vanished.

And Republicans called for the death penalty immediately for these individuals including public hanging.

[nattyice]

21. I'm sure she was just "caught up in the moment".

[Kid Berwyn]

26. Russia. Russia. Russia.

Got their money’s worth.

[lostnfound]

30. CNN says no evidence Pelosi's laptop was actually stolen

https://edition.cnn.com/2021/01/18/politics/riley-june-williams-fbi-investigation/index.html

May be some misinformation

[NJCher]

33. Says she may have destroyed it.

Regardless, she has fled so she knows how damn serious this is.

Nice—age 22 and this is how you start off your life.

What is wrong with these people? I cannot fathom this lack of concern for consequences.

[lostnfound]

51. And the father will be so proud when she is rotting in jail?

Can’t imagine luring my kid into such a thing, either.

[timms139]

57. Pelosi stated on Jan 7

that it was a staffer's laptop that was used for presentations.

[progressoid]

73. "a video of Williams taking a laptop computer or hard drive..."

Interesting that they don't even know if it's a laptop or a hard drive. Sounds a like there is more speculation than evidence at this point.

[Arazi]

35. She hasn't been arrested yet and in fact, she's gone missing

Do you have a source other than a Tweet?

[samnsara]

37. everyone there has an ex who is calling the FBI right now...

[onetexan]

38. Question is who now has possession of Nancy's laptop.

[cwydro]

42. See post 30.

It may not even be missing.

DU seems to have accepted this as fact, although it’s not been verified. A few days ago DU posters doxxed people who were not guilty of any crimes.

We really should do better than that.

[onetexan]

46. yea i read that earlier on CNN but i can't believe noone has verified w/ Speaker Pelosi whether a

laptop from her office is missing. Seems to me this would be an easy one for a news outlet to solve. Puzzling

[cwydro]

52. Yeah, I agree.

Strange.

[Renew Deal]

39. We knew these people were traitors. Hopefully this one gets a treason charge.

62. She won't, because it does not fit the legal definition. There are

plenty of other charges that do fit though. She'll go away. Good riddance to bad rubbish.

[onenote]

40. I can't find any confirmation that she's been arrested. Reportedly she's "missing."

[obamanut2012]

43. she hasn't

[cwydro]

50. Thank you.

No one seems to care about truth here anymore. Smh.

[kairos12]

41. True MAGA

My

ASS

GOT

Arrested.

[Maru Kitteh]

44. We should all take a moment to salute the patriotic ex-partners of

America for their efforts in bringing these walking/talking rotting meat-bags to justice!

[Johnny2X2X]

45. This one is going to do hard time

I'm thinking this one deserves 20-30 years in prison.

[cwydro]

49. Every news source I've looked at says they've not arrested her yet.

Your OP is based on a tweet, which is incorrect.

[malaise]

55. Didn't we used to call that treason?

Asking for a friend.

[Maru Kitteh]

60. No malaise. We are not in a declared war with Russia and treason

has a very specific, very narrow legal definition.

https://www.nbcnews.com/think/opinion/americans-have-forgotten-what-treason-actually-means-how-it-can-ncna848651

Lot's of other charges we can use though to keep her locked up on for a long - long - long - long time!

[malaise]

64. Thanks sis

[Maru Kitteh]

66. Love ya girl!

I really AM looking forward to seeing this one in orange. Stealing from the greatest freakin' Speaker of the House in history is not okay! Really stupid of her to try and hide from the FBI too. When they do find her, I'm sure that'll go well!

[malaise]

70. I still can't believe any of them are that stupid or ignorant of the law

Trump had and has no authority to order anyone to invade Congressional buildings. There must be serious consequences. That said I want no serious charges until Thursday. We can wait 50 jobs and 15 minutes

[triron]

89. Wikipedia says it differently.

"Treason is the crime of attacking a state authority to which one owes allegiance.[1] This typically includes acts such as participating in a war against one's native country, attempting to overthrow its government, spying on its military, its diplomats, or its secret services for a hostile and foreign power, or attempting to kill its head of state. A person who commits treason is known in law as a traitor.[2]"

[Baclava]

61. Hunt her ass down, arrest her, throw her in Gitmo and waterboard the shit out of her

I bet she has lots of shady co-conspirator boyfriends

[dalton99a]

67. She hasn't been found yet. Someone is harboring a fugitive

[UpInArms]

68. It appears that she has not been arrested ... yet

Federal authorities have obtained an arrest warrant for a Harrisburg woman they suspect may have stolen House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s laptop during the Jan. 6 Capitol siege with the intent of selling the device to Russia’s foreign intelligence services.

In an affidavit filed late Sunday evening, agents said they were contacted by the former romantic partner of Riley June Williams, 22, who recognized her in footage shot during the insurrectionist attack by the British network ITV.

Williams’ ex also reported having seen another video showing Williams pocketing the computer from Pelosi’s office and told investigators that Williams had said she intended to send it to a friend in Russia who would arrange the transfer to the SVR, the Russian equivalent of the CIA.

That deal fell through, Williams’ former partner told FBI agents according to the affidavit, and the laptop remains in her possession.

You can read the FBI. Statement of Facts in full at that link ...

It makes a pretty clear case against her



Eta: it also states that the stairs she was directing people toward led directly to Pelosi’s office

[UpInArms]

76. Cool

Thank you

[obamanut2012]

77. No, she has NOT been arrested

They have a warrant out for her and knew who she was because of her ex BF. She is still a fugitive.

[cwydro]

81. Nope.

Why do people keep posting this kind of thing?

[Wednesdays]

72. She's gonna be a middle aged woman when she

finally gets out of the slammer.

75. Here's a source of some facts for ya' at Philly Inquirer...

Feds seeking Harrisburg woman accused by her ex of stealing Nancy Pelosi’s laptop during Capitol riot
The Philadelphia Inquirer
by Jeremy Roebuck

Read it here: https://www.inquirer.com/news/pennsylvania/riley-june-williams-capitol-attack-pelosi-laptop-harrisburg-pennsylvania-arrests-20210118.html

(snips)

Federal authorities have obtained an arrest warrant for a Harrisburg woman they suspect may have stolen House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s laptop during the Jan. 6 Capitol siege with the intent of selling the device to Russia’s foreign intelligence services.
+++
But by the time investigators tracked Williams down to the apartment she shares with her mother in Harrisburg on Saturday, she had already fled, the affidavit states. Williams’ mother told agents that the day before an ITV news crew showed up at her door looking for her daughter. In a segment that aired on the network Sunday, she confirmed for reporters that her daughter was the woman seen in earlier footage of the Capitol attack, directing other insurrectionists inside the Capitol rotunda toward a staircase lading to Pelosi’s office.
+++
According to the FBI affidavit, Williams drove to Washington on Jan. 6 with her father, a Camp Hill resident, to attend the “Stop the Steal” rally but split up during the day. They reunited after police had cleared the Capitol that evening and drove back to Harrisburg the same day.

Williams’ alleged role in the theft of Pelosi’s laptop remains under investigation. At the moment, she is charged only with unlawfully entering Capitol grounds and disorderly conduct. However, Pelosi’s chief of staff, Drew Hammill, confirmed on Twitter in the days after the attack that a laptop, primarily used for presentations, had been stolen from a conference room in the House speaker’s office.

Several other interesting observations about this suspect in the article.
