Federal agents took a participant in the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol into custody for his alleged role in the insurrection after an hourslong standoff Thursday, authorities said.

Eric Christie, 56, was arrested in the Sherman Oaks neighborhood of the San Fernando Valley, according to Laura Eimiller, an FBI spokesperson.

He initially refused to comply with federal agents' orders but surrendered without incident after three hours of negotiations, Eimiller said. She would not comment on whether he was armed during the standoff.

Video and photographs from the insurrection, discovered by online sleuths, show Christie at the Capitol last year wrapped in a rainbow flag with a hammer attached to his belt, federal court documents state.

A video captured Christie yelling "this is our Capitol" into a bullhorn while the crowd rushes into the Capitol as police attempted to keep them back, according to court documents filed in connection with his California arrest.

A federal judge on Friday ordered Christie detained, according to Christie's attorney, George Newhouse.

Defendant Isaac Sturgeon seeks to transfer Jan 6 case from DC

"People of DC..have read too many articles depicting defendants in a negative & inflammatory fashion. We are hard pressed to find a single mainstream newspaper article that casts a Jan 6 defendant in positive.. light"

Damn the bad luck.

[Tiredretiredlawyer]

Wait a minute. I thought the lame stream media was fake news. If it's fake and everyone knows it the potential jurors will be thinking the opposite of what is written. Therefore, finitione, there is more likelihood of an acquittal.

Bin Laden had the same problem. That's why they transferred his case to the Southern District of FIND OUT in Pakistan, the honorable Seal Team 6 presiding.

They were the jury [and executioners, it saved the taxpayers money ], it was Obama that was the tribunal administrator...

These lawyers are struggling with spin. I would have understand "neutral" coverage, but "positive"? Too also also too, do bank robbers get "positive" coverage?

And the Washington Times is located in DC! If the J6ers can't get positive coverage in the right leaning Washington Times, they can't get it anywhere.

I've been swept up with emotion a time or two in my life. The worst thing I ever broke was a tv remote, and boy howdy did I regret that.

A text exchange between Ivanka Trump’s chief of staff Julie Radford and White House aide Hope Hicks reveals their anger over then-President Donald Trump’s actions on January 6, 2021, hurting them professionally, according to newly released documents collected by the House select committee investigating the Capitol Hill insurrection.

“In one day he ended every future opportunity that doesn’t include speaking engagements at the local Proud Boys chapter,” Hicks wrote to Radford on January 6, 2021. “And all of us that didn’t have jobs lined up will be perpetually unemployed. I’m so mad and upset. We all look like domestic terrorists now.”

Hicks added: “This made us all unemployable. Like untouchable. God I’m so f***ing mad.”

Radford responded by texting, “I know, like there isn’t a chance of finding a job,” and indicating she already lost a job opportunity from Visa, which sent her a “blow off email.”

The new release is part of a steady stream of documents from the committee, complementing the release of its sweeping 845-page report. The latest comes as the panel winds down its work with the House majority set to change hands from Democrats to Republicans on Tuesday at the start of the new Congress.

They gave up employability when they went to work for Trump. J6 made them realize it.

Okay, that was a lie....there are many, because I'm laughing their misery....


They bought their tickets, they knew what they were getting into....I say let their careers crash...

WE knew what they were getting into, but they didn't. They had the old reliable baptism by fire.
