Yesterday, the FBI arrested another dimwitted, angry white man, Brian Glenn Bingham, in connection with the January 6 insurrection. Bingham (pictured above) had bragged on Facebook, " I got to manhandl[e] 5 cops and live to tell."
He'll now live to tell about charges for assaulting, resisting or impeding certain officers; obstruction of law enforcement during civil disorder; and violent entry and disorderly conduct on Capitol grounds, among other charges.
Also, in a major development affecting the conspiracy case against the seditionist Oath Keepers, one of their members, Graydon Young, has pleaded guilty to several charges in a plea deal with prosecutors:
Federal prosecutors secured their first guilty plea Wednesday in the Justice Department's sprawling conspiracy case involving the Oath Keepers extremist group in connection with the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol.
At a hearing in federal court in Washington, D.C., Graydon Young pleaded guilty to one count of conspiracy and one count of obstruction of an official proceeding. The 55-year-old Florida resident agreed to cooperate with investigators, which could prove critical as the government pursues the remaining defendants in the high-profile case.
Young is one of 16 people associated with the Oath Keepers to be charged with conspiracy, obstruction and other offenses over the Capitol riot. Prosecutors say the defendants coordinated their efforts and actions to try to disrupt Congress' certification of the Electoral College count on Jan. 6.
The Oath Keepers, Proud Boys and 3 Percenters are likely being prosecuted under RICO (Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act), as the obstruction of an official government proceeding is considered a racketeering activity. It could be a key weapon in taking down these fascist paramilitary organizations.
Five-hundred twenty-five (525) people have been arrested so far for their part in the January 6 insurrection.
