An Army reservist who federal investigators say has secret-level security clearance and a long record of posting his extremist views online was charged by federal prosecutors in connection with the Capitol riot

Others charged this weekend include a woman who has been seen in photos brandishing the name plate that had been affixed outside House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's office, authorities said, and the mother of a man who was arrested after he was captured in a striking photo on the Senate floor with zip-ties, now herself accused of chasing police officers with zip-ties in her hands.

A man who was captured wearing a Proud Boys T-shirt and holding up the corner of a Confederate flag on the Capitol grounds -- according to an FBI agent, citing photos, in a court document -- was arrested on Sunday in Maryland, the Department of Justice said.

What, a Long record of extremist views, with a high level of security clearance , I'll be Damn. 🙄

Just seems like most of the people have 2 things in common...an oath and a pension.....

What idiots are providing “Secret Level Security Clearances” to extremist? The military brass above him need to be demoted or dishonorably discharged! Save America!

Good, I hope he is dishonorable discharged and go to jail

DellaMills17 If this guy has online history of posting extremist views, how the hell did he keep his security clearance? When a college mate took a summer job that required sec clearance, FBI came to our dorm to ask about her. FBI has got to step up, whackadoodle postings online? No clearance

News reporters are not actors, I am not interested in their opinion, I simply want the truth to prevail and said without finding out later that it was different than what was said. I no longer watch Jake Tapper, and Wolf Blitzer and plan to find a new station with the News.

I am amazed that CNN News has reached a point in their striving to reach the top level of the News and I find so much negativity, with hand-gesture fist and angered voices betraying the preferred, idealistic manner of giving the news realistic and without judgement.

TO Guantanimo Bay...all of these rioters are Domestic Terrorists...50 Years straight up.

In this whole scenario of CAPITAL HILL ... the keynote is the HOMELAND SECURITY..which more or less COMPROMISED .. wether I tentionally or otherwise.

There’s more of them I believe

Fox News needs to be band from all Military bases effective immediately... These groups are poising our troops!!!

It seems like over a decade since we were warned by the intel community that the greatest terrorist threat to our country is White Nationalism /Supremacy. Our LE and Military community needs to address this ASAP. Zero tolerance for extremist racist assholes

kurtbardella This shouldn’t be at all surprising. How does anybody think that this cult got as far as the Capitol? It wasn’t luck or random. It was planned by Trumpist’s who pretend to be patriots and hide behind their normal jobs. They are American terrorists.

Outrageous. Freedom of Speech is one thing but when a known Extremist has access to secret-level security clearance that's dangerous. Change must come in 2021.

Almost anyone that has served in the military for a couple years has a secret clearance. Top Secret and above is where more closely background checks are made.

ddale8 That individual should be tried by court martial and punished to the highest extent allowed by law

Another ones going down down down enjoy your hotel room

ANTIFA

45% are Trump supporters...Vetting security is paramount ..

Time to take FOX news off of our military airwaves

There’s a reasonable range of 1A discretion here, but it’s pretty clear this kind of extremism exceeds it by far. Same for Congress. It’s insane to normalize threats, sedition and incitement to riot. Period.

Maybe because POTUS, his cabinet, the Atty Gen, and many more shared the views in public. Why would they fear it to be problematic? I’m not supporting the views/behavior at all, simply pointing out the obvious.

NLMcLean1 Only one?

ddale8 What’s Gallaghar been up to since his pardon? He was invited to trumps holiday parties?

Good!!! Get them all!

Trump will pardon him. I wonder how many rioters will get pardons ?

Find out 👀

Reading between the lines, someone dropped the ball...

Please God send your love! Let there be peace and calm in USA.

Hello, Leavenworth, here I come

Another magatrash terrorist has been charged.

AIPAC concerned that Netenyahu won't be able to bend President BIDEN the way he could President Trump...theory is that Vice President Kamala Harris will fall in line QUICKLY with Israel Leaders wishes.

Please pay attention for what is going on now in Russia! The goverment broke every law. They arrested Navalny at the airport and right now at the police department they start the trial. After the arrest nobody knew where is he. Even his lawyer. They met just before the trial.

I pity the US prison service having to accommodate these morons and protect them from black inmates and vice versa

The fbi needs to check some people in the Dept of energy who possess a q clearance.

How in the hell did he get clearance?

You CNN media news sucks , the whole time all of the time the same old news and it sucks the Capitol hill INVASHON news its on and on ALL OF THE TIME, look for somethimg else it REALY SUCKS AND GIVES ME A BAD BAD HUMOR.

Active and reserve service members are subject to the UCMJ under article 94 you find sedition and failing to prevent it.

ddale8 So...a reason to strip them of their position & security clearance.... finally...?

This shows you that this was not a gang of screwball anarchists. They know what they were doing and they are planning to do more!

The process to get security clearances is broken and has been broken for years.

WoW...

All of these people identify as Republicans above all else, call me nieve but after an attempted coup, why is the republican party not labeled a terrorist organization? Just curious about the double standard.

jlr_1969 [raises hand] How does someone with a long record of posting extremist views online maintain secret-level security clearance?

I guess they are actually deplorable after all. I guess there are fine people on one side, and Trump side has none of them! It’s not rhetoric when fire extinguishers and flag pole spears start flying.

OMG another BLM rioter chaged with inciting rioting and violence when will it end!

ddale8 I’ll reiterate what others already saying: If he has a long record of posting his extremist views online, why does he still have secret-level security clearance? Might want to check his superiors too

ddale8 Sick!

ddale8 For everyone who has hailed all people who join the armed forces as “heroes” for no reason other than that they signed up, keep this in mind. Gratitude? Hell yes. Don’t think for one minute think that it excuses them from their behavior once they are home.

ddale8 Not anymore

And yet many politicians and corporations were publicly supporting extremists views and riots that went on all summer without recourse.

bobchester Sounds like someone needs to review the protocols for reviewing security clearance...

Defense Secretary overruled Army recommendation to reduce number of National Guard troops at CapitolDefense Secretary Lloyd Austin's decision to keep nearly 2,300 National Guard troops on Capitol Hill security duty through May 23 came after the secretary decided against an Army recommendation that less than half that number was actually needed to support US Capitol Police. He’s doing it because he’s abusing his position. He is riding the trend right now. This guy needs to go ASAP. Next he’ll want special interest payments if he doesn’t already get them. Foh! It’s best to be cautious with the racist insurrectionist still out there. Razor wire, but progressive
