On Jan. 6, Landon Mitchell bragged to a Facebook friend that he breached the Capitol and was one of the very first in when a pro-Trump mob stormed the halls of Congress. He appeared in video on the floor of the U.S. Senate, went through a senators desk and took to the dais, where he posed next to the so-called QAnon Shaman.
Later, when a friend feared that the FBI might arrest Mitchell, he wrote that he was invincible and not too worried because he was masked up the whole time he was inside the Capitol.
The FBI arrested Mitchell on Wednesday.
Mitchell was accompanied to the Capitol by Luke Wessley Bender, a former co-worker who was arrested by the FBI on July 29. Bender, the feds said, identified Mitchell during an interview after his arrest.

(32,083 posts)8. That's on top of numerous other crimes not related to Jan. 6th.
And, only so many agents to deal with all of it.
Ocelot II
(115,693 posts)2. He's about to be very surprised.

Admitting on FB that he was there & not worried because of a mask.
Meaning, of course, the guy in the video with the witch doctor nut, wearing the mask is him.
Didn't take Holmes to track him down.

(25,938 posts)5. What about the friend to whom he confessed?
Isnt he culpable for not dropping a dime once he knew about it?
TomSlick
(11,098 posts)13. Probably not.
The average citizen has no duty to drop dimes. If subpoenaed, the government is entitled to their testimony but they are not required to come forward unbidden.

(30,613 posts)6. Let's see if he's indicted for anything stronger than littering.
Hopefully right after his Cancun vacay.

(20,686 posts)7. "I'm invincible" is what an ex-friend told me about covid.
No idea how she's doing.

(20,686 posts)9. Did any of these arrests get caught on camera?
I'd love to put that on a loop....

thus temporarily losing his superpowers.

of someone with less than a genius IQ.
