Now, this question is extremely important; and extremely relevant to everything!

Did they cross the threshold of the exterior Capitol Building doors, into the interior, with the axe handle?

‘Traitors Need to Be Executed’: Several Three Percenters Charged in U.S. Capitol Riot Indictment Filled with Weapons and ‘Insurrection’ Chatter
https://lawandcrime.com/u-s-capitol...filled-with-weapons-and-insurrection-chatter/

Six members of the militia group known as the Three Percenters have been charged with the siege of the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6th, in an indictment filled with chilling fantasies of executions and chatter about weapons and “insurrection.”

Two of the men charged—Alan Hostetter and Russell Taylor—were reportedly seen with Donald Trump’s friend and advisor Roger Stone the day before the riot. Their accused conspirators are Eric Scott Warner, 45; Felipe Antonio “Tony” Martinez, 47; Derek Kinnison, 39; and Ronald Mele, 51. Hostetter is a former police chief in California, a yoga instructor, and a “Stop the Steal” organizer. Stone, a self-described dirty trickster who has been tied to multiple accused rioters, has not been charged with wrongdoing.

According to prosecutors, the California men were drawn to the Capitol in response Donald Trump’s widely criticized tweet on Dec. 19th. The then-lame duck president urged his backers to descend upon the Capitol the following month: “Big protest in D.C. on January 6th. Be there, will be wild!”

The sextet of Three Percenters—the name of a militia group taking its name from the erroneous belief that only 3% of American colonists opposed the British during the Revolutionary War—have their chilling alleged communications preparing for the event quoted throughout a 20-page federal indictment.

At the center of that document is Stone associate Hostetter, who created another organization said to have been involved in the planning.

The founder of the American Phoenix Project, Hostetter founded the group in opposition to COVID-19 lockdowns and restrictions, but the group morphed in the post-2020 election cycle to efforts to topple now-President Joe Biden’s victory. (The group’s website, filled with conspiratorial rhetoric, merchandise sales, and YouTube videos, remains active.)

In one video posted on the group’s YouTube page on Nov. 27, Hostetter fantasized about millions of Trump supporters engaged in an orgy of violence in Washington, D.C., prosecutors said.

That’s not hyperbole when we call it tyranny, that’s fucking tyranny. And tyrants and traitors need to be executed as an example…. In example…. I’m going to D.C. I’m going to be there on Saturday for this march. I hope there are a million Patriots there. Between that, that’s going to be a shot across the bow of the deep state when they see a million Patriots surrounding that shit hole of a city— the swamp. Because it’s gonna make all those swamp creatures know that at any time we want we’ll come back with a million Patriots and we’ll surround that city.. There’s gonna be a million of us showing up to make this statement here in Washington, D.C., and I’m telling the swamp right now, that we will be back if this doesn’t get resolved peacefully and soon.

Hostetter had been referring to the so-called “Stop the Steal” rally in late November, and he hosted another one like it in Huntington Beach, Calif. on Dec. 12, where prosecutors say he echoed the same violent rhetoric in a speech.


There must, absolutely must, be a reckoning. There must be justice. President Trump must be inaugurated on January 20th. And he must be allowed to finish this historic job of cleaning out the corruption in the cesspool known as Washington, D.C. The enemies and traitors of America both foreign and domestic must be held accountable. And they will. There must be long prison terms, while execution is the just punishment for the ringleaders of this coup.

Russell Taylor also attended that rally, and the two of them were active on a Telegram, an encrypted social media app that became popular with the political far-right after Twitter and Facebook purged many of their ranks from their platform.

After Trump’s “Be there, will be wild tweet,” Hostetter took to his “@americanphoenixproject” Instagram account to explain why he was going to Washington.


This is the date of the Joint Session of Congress in which they will either accept or reject the fake/phony/stolen electoral college votes. I will be there, bullhorns on fire, to let the swamp dwellers know we will not let them steal our country from us. I hope you can join me!! #fightfortrump #stopthesteal #savetherepublic

Prosecutors say that Hostetter and Taylor booked rooms at the Kimpton George Hotel in Washington, D.C. for several days before, during and after the siege. The pair started organizing on Telegram shortly after that, according to the indictment.

One exchange quoted in the indictment from late last year Dec. 29th shows the duo discussing travel to Washington, D.C.—and weapons.


a. HOSTETTER texted, “I’ll be heading to DC on 12/31. Let’s hook up on 12/30 so you can give me your backpack,” followed by three hatchet emojis.
b. TAYLOR responded, “Oh shiz. I need to pack that up. Alan are you bringing firearms?”
c. HOSTETTER texted back, “NO NEVER (Instagram now monitors all text messages.. this has been a public service announcement),” followed by three emojis of faces laughing with tears coming out of their eyes.

On Jan. 2, Taylor responded to a query in the DC Brigade Telegram chat regarding what weapons could be carried in the nation’s capital by answering a “'[h]atchet,’ ‘at,’ or ‘[l]arge metal flashlight,'” according to the indictment.

“I believe that you can carry most fixed blades just not into the government buildings,” Taylor allegedly added. “Something tells me though if we are inside government buildings it won’t be on the top of our list.”

A day later, Hostetter created a post on the @americanphoenixproject Instagram account with the spurious statistic at the heart of his extremist group’s credo.

“Only 3% of Americans actually fought in our War of Independence,” Hostetter allegedly claimed, inaccurately. “There will likely be 3% of us again that will commit fully to this battle but, just as in 1776 patriots will prevail. Things are going to come to a head in the U.S. in the next several days. Stay tuned!”

Prosecutors say that Taylor spoke at the Virginia Women for Trump rally the day before the siege, and he appeared to relish the pro-Trump mob’s actions on Jan. 6th, boasting on a Telegram chat late that afternoon: “I was pushing through traitors all day today. WE STORMED THE CAPITOL! Freedom was fully demonstrated today!”

Hostetter likened it to the “shot heard round the world” and called that day a prelude to a protracted war, the indictment states.

“That war lasted 8 years,” Hostetter is quoted saying, in reference to the American revolution. “We are just getting started.”

In response to an unidentified person asking him what happens next, Taylor allegedly texted back: “Insurrection!”

The grand jury charged all six with conspiring to obstruct and official proceeding, obstructing an official proceeding, and two counts of entering a restricted building or ground. Taylor is charged with unlawful possession of a dangerous weapon on Capitol grounds and obstructing law enforcement during a civil disorder. Kinnison and Warner each face a charge of tampering with documents.

Shedding light on the seventh count, Kinnison is quoted in the indictment as having written: “I think we should clear all text in this chat the morning of the 5th just in case for opsec purposes.”

Prosecutors claim Kinnison did just

Turns out, suggesting that Roger Stone may be connected to insurrectionists he was photographed with really pisses off Roger Stone. So I guess we shouldn't keep asking what these Insurrectionists may have said about their connections to Roger Stone.

Well the insurrectionists might as well appear on the state TV network of Trump's favorite country...

Anti-Vaxxer Who Called Mike Pence a ‘Traitor’ and Her Husband Both Plead Guilty to Parading Inside U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6th
https://lawandcrime.com/u-s-capitol...ty-to-parading-inside-u-s-capitol-on-jan-6th/

Jess-Bustle-and-husband.jpg

Husband-and-wife Jessica and Joshua Bustle are pictured in court papers entering the U.S. Capitol on the day of the Jan. 6th riot.

Together with her husband, a woman who spouted COVID-19 and election conspiracy theories on Facebook pleaded guilty on Monday to federal charges tied to the Jan. 6th siege of the Capitol. Their misdemeanor plea opens Virginia couple Jessica Bustle and Joshua Bustle up to a possible maximum six-month sentence for parading, demonstrating or picketing inside a Capitol building.

U.S. District Judge Thomas Hogan entered the plea following a brief hearing on Monday afternoon. He said each of the Bustles must pay $500 in restitution for damages to the Capitol during the riot, a standard condition imposed by prosecutors as part of a reported cost-splitting arrangement for hundreds of participants in the siege. Their sentencing will be set at a later date.

The Bustles were in the building for roughly 20 minutes, Hogan said.

When the Bustles were charged in March, the FBI quoted the wife echoing several false beliefs popular in pro-Trump quarters of the internet. Her Facebook posts show the wife contending that Pence had the power to stop the constitutionally mandated process for confirming a U.S. president, COVID-19 vaccines are part of a government depopulation plot, and that anti-fascist activists were responsible for the violence on Jan. 6th.

“Pence is a traitor,” one of the wife’s posts read. “We stormed the capital [sic]. An unarmed peaceful woman down the hall from us was shot in neck by cops. It’s insane here. We’re safe and heading home but have limited service.”

The criminal complaint against the Bustles focuses extensively on the wife’s Facebook posts, largely devoted to coronavirus and election misinformation.

Both worlds collided on Jan. 6th, when one of the Facebook posts showed a picture of the Bustles with the wife holding a placard stating: “MANDATORY MEDICAL PROCEDURES have NO PLACE in a FREE Society.” Coronavirus vaccines are not government-mandated in the United States, even though the Supreme Court ruled more than a century ago that vaccine mandates are legal.

Judge Hogan said that Josh Bustle held a similar sign.

In an image posted Jan. 7 to Facebook and subsequently embedded within federal court documents by the FBI, Jessica Bustle is seen standing with a man identified in subsequent Facebook comments as Del Matthew Bigtree, CEO of the anti-vaccination group Informed Consent Action Network.

For Jessica Bustle, whose Facebook posts also including skepticism that the moon landing occurred, the real “misinformation” about the siege on the Capitol came from established news organizations.

The amount of misinformation I’m seeing is insane. Despite what you’re being fed, the rally was nothing like what the media is portraying. My husband and I spent the majority of our time at the Health Freedom Rally which was a couple of blocks over from the Trump Rally. When we finally decided to head over to the capitol we were let in . . . like literally, my husband and I just WALKED right in with tons of other people.” The cops were nice . . . we were talking with them INSIDE of the capitol about not taking the CV tax and they agreed with us. There were no guns, weapons, and no violence. In fact, when we finally decided to go in after about 45min of it being wide open . . . there was a wooden podium UNTOUCHED just sitting there in the middle of trump supporters supposedly causing so much damage and mayhem. Yes, some Trump supporters were supposedly unruly . . . pushed past police to take selfies in congress seats.

Judge Hogan read some of those statements during the hearing. Jessica Bustle’s depiction of the pro-Trump mob has been debunked by court papers in hundreds of criminal cases. More than 130 members of the pro-Trump mob have been charged with assaulting or resisting police officers. Court papers show accused rioters allegedly attacking Capitol Police and Metropolitan Police Department Officers with chemical spray, a PVC pole, a flagpole, a Taser, metal barricades and other weapons. One rioter stands accused of stealing an officer’s badge and burying it in his backyard.

Two accused rioters have been charged in connection with the spraying of late Officer Brian Sicknick, who died the next day. Neither of the alleged assailants have been accused of responsibility for Sicknick’s death.
