Newly unsealed court documents reveal a fascinating detail in the case of Jessica Watkins, the Oath Keeper member who founded the Ohio State Regular Militia.

The documents reveal a message she sent on January 9th to Bennie Parker, who has also been charged in the Capitol insurrection.

"[S]eems they're only interested in people who destroyed things," Watkins texted. "I wouldn't worry about them coming after us."

I really think you and your "gang" of fucking thugs should be charged with premeditated murder in the death of Brian Sicknick........which under federal statute can lead to the death penalty ................

It can be imposed for treason, espionage, murder, large-scale drug trafficking, or attempted murder of a witness, juror, or court officer in certain cases. It can also be imposed if the crime happened on federal land, or if the crime involved an employee of the United States government.

...long on smarts they are not. They deserve everything the FBI and DOJ can throw at them. Plus I hope that anyone that can suit them civilly, say the Capitol Police officers and others needlessly endangered, do so.

The FBI suddenly deciding you're not worth the effort. Because that doesn't really happen. So, for the rest of your lives, I'd suggest you look up every time you hear a siren, or the phone rings, or there's a knock on the door, or someone seems to be following you, or the sun comes up in the east. Because today could be the day.

What's the old saying about the Canadian Mounties?

"They always get their man"?

Ditto the Federal Bureau of Investigation. I read somewhere that being the subject of an FBI investigation makes a proctology exam seem appealing.

I was amazed by Jessica's grammar in the quote above. Trump could never have written like that on his best day.

The female insurrectionists held the doors and barked orders and the marauders piled in to boast their skills learned by playing video games.

The building can be repaired, but the damage to the country will take a lot longer to heal, with a lot more effort.
