More details about the peaceful tourists who visited the Capitol on January 6 came out Tuesday night in a late court filing from Washington, D.C. The government is trying to keep a guy named Ed Vallejo locked up before his trial.
Vallejo is a high-ranking member of the Oath Keepers who allegedly headed up a “Quick Reaction Force” based across the Potomac on January 6. The supporting evidence for the government’s motion gives us a fairly good idea what this alleged QRF was all about. From Politico:
But the most salient details in the new memo describe the planning and stockpiling of weapons at the Comfort Inn. Among them, prosecutors say, were “at least three luggage carts’ worth of gun boxes, rifle cases, and suitcases filled with ammunition.”
“A second QRF team from North Carolina consisted of four men who kept their rifles ready to go in a vehicle parked in the hotel lot,” according to the Justice Department. “Later, Vallejo and other members of the Arizona QRF team wheeled in bags and large bins of weapons, ammunition, and essential supplies to last 30 days.”
Prosecutors say that as some Oath Keepers breached the Capitol, Vallejo “attempted, but failed, to launch … a ‘drone with a 720p cam for recon use.’” Capitol Police officials have, in recent days, described efforts to protect the Capitol against unauthorized drones.
A drone?
These guys had a drone?
There clearly were different tiers of the insurrection. There were the masterminds in the Willard and in the White House. There was the unfocused mob acting out of abandoned wrath. And there was a group of militarized, sophisticated insurgents who came prepared to stop the certification of the 2020 election by force of arms if they thought that to be necessary.
The militarized element had weapons, and they had reinforcements standing by. They were allegedly prepared for an ongoing insurgency. They were prepared for a new, darker country than the one that we have now.
