State Department aide appointed by Trump stormed the Capitol, beat police with a riot shield, FBI says

Klein, who is also a former Trump campaign employee, did not immediately respond to a request for comment early Friday. It is unclear if he has hired a lawyer.

Klein was still employed at the State Department as a staff assistant on Jan. 6 when he joined a mob in the a tunnel leading into the U.S. Capitol, the FBI said. Then he allegedly “physically and verbally engaged with the officers holding the line” at the building’s entrance, according to the complaint. After ignoring officers’ orders to move back, he assaulted officers with a riot shield that had been stolen from police, the complaint said, and then used the shield to wedge open a door into the Capitol.

At one point, Klein was caught on video shouting for more insurrectionists to come to the front lines, where officers were struggling to hold back the mob.

“We need fresh people, need fresh people,” he said, according to the complaint.

1. Everyone was there at the Capital building that day...

Except for of course, trump and antifa.

2. So that's at least one confirmed tie

to the orange menace. A low level tie in leading and doing the hands-on dirty work. Many more yet to come, I'm sure. Lower levels connecting to higher levels.

4. Truth will out and it's going to be

frightening to many folks.
S serious cleansing is needed to weed out these terrorists.

5. Low level ties, want the people who sent millions to 5 militias days before 1/6.

I want the people that gave the traitors maps, those that were on the cell phones providing guidance and everyone who had any part in the planning or who gave tours - want them charged and removed ASAP. They are traitors sitting in our midst, plotting against us and they need to pay the price for their treachery.

6. So do I. This one, or other lower level

ones could become the means of connecting to the ones you mention.

[lark]

7. True, they could be going up the ladder.

I just don't want them to stop with a few low level functionaries and leave the planning Senators and Congress Critters alone and not hold them accountable for their treachery.

3. Sure hopes this leading to him losing any federal benefits

he might have accrued.

8. Is this him ?

The one with the suit jacket.

10. Get ready to wave bye-bye, Federico.

But meanwhile: Start talking.
