New York City Mayor Bill de Blasios office said it will scrutinize NYPD ranks following a WNYC/Gothamist investigation of online records that appears to tie several New York law enforcement officers and public officialsincluding at least two active members of the NYPDto a far-right, anti-government militia.
The mayors investigation comes after an anonymous hacker released what it claims are emails and membership data from the Oath Keepers, an extremist militia group that had a notable presence at the storming of the U.S. Capitol on January 6th. Eighteen people affiliated with the group have so far been charged with conspiracy related to that event.
The hacked membership records were sent to a transparency nonprofit group called Distributed Denial of Secrets (DDoSecrets), which shares leaked data with journalists and researchers. The records posted on the internet Monday do not make clear if the members listed are currently active in the militia.
Three New York public officials listed in the leaked membership logs confirmed to WNYC/Gothamist that they had previously signed up for membership with the organization, but claimed they were no longer active. The NYPD officers whose names matched information listed in the hacked records could not be confirmed as active members and so WNYC/Gothamist has chosen not to name them.

If anyone worked to support the takeover of the Capitol were aiding and abetting treason against the United States. But everyone who was involved in the takeover of the Capitol should be prosecuted to the maximum extent of the law.

Every single member of this terrorist organization is an anti American threat. Treat them the same as if they had joined ISIS.
We're handling these terrorists like children. It's going to take a mass casualty event for law enforcement to finally start jailing these terrorists.
