"TRAITORS GET SHOT" - Feds allege Reffit threatened his children if they turned him. "Choose a side or die"...
"WE ALL HAD WEAPONS BUT NEVER FIRED A SINGLE ROUND" - Justice Dept says Reffit brought firearms to DC on Jan 6
"THIS HAS ONLY JUST BEGUN" - Feds say Reffit is member of the 3%-ers and boasts of taking the Capitol ... but foreshadows more to come
"DC IS A FUTILE EFFORT NOW" - Court filings say Reffit is urging for attacks against mainstream media and big tech, now that the Capitol has been fortified w/ enhanced security
GUN SILENCER - In raid of his home, feds say they found zip ties and a gun silencer. They say Reffit claimed the silencer was a "fuel filter" for his car
THE PLAN: Feds allege Reffit talked about "dragging those people out of the Capitol by their ankles" during his drive from Texas to DC on Jan. 5

They noted that Reffitt misled the FBI about his company TTP Security, LLC telling them it had no connection to the Texas Three Percenters. Rather, he said, it stood for "Tactics, Techniques, and Procedures."
"However, the defendants January 9, 2021 Telegram message to his fellow rioters (and prospective TTP militia members) reveals this to be false," prosecutors said.
