WASHINGTON — At least two people are facing federal charges after Wednesday’s attack on the U.S. Capitol, according to federal court documents filed. They are believed to be two of the first charges.

The documents give insight into some of what happened at the U.S. Capitol Complex on Wednesday.

One of the people charged was Mark Leffingwell. According to court filings, a U.S. Capitol Police officer said the man “punched me repeatedly with a closed fist.” He’s facing three federal charges including an assault on a federal law enforcement officer.

Leffingwell was among a group of people inside the Capitol trying to advance further on the Senate side of the building, according to the filing.

Another charge filed against a man name Christopher Alberts is related to carrying a firearm on Capitol property.

Any federal charges for vandalzing churches and national monuments last year?

Charges against Bill Ayers were eventually dropped for bombing the Pentagon.

It would be nice if they could tell us where these people live, just so internet sleuths could research these people before their internet presence is scrubbed.

“I hate to compare to Hitler,”

The similarity to current events and Nazi Germany is because Hilter is Soros’s hero and early benefactor.

At least I think that is the case.

The Constitution says a lot of things that are ridiculed or just completely ignored these days. Trump's life will be a living hell once he's out of the White House.

Have they charged the guy yet who murdered Ashli Babbitt?

We know the ID's of the 2 Philly Antifa members, have they been charged or arrested?

How about the BLM clown or the Viking idiot?

What was the name of the man who murdered unarmed Ashli? Has his name also been released yet? Cops put on leave for shootings names are released.

I recd this earlier and I think it’s very important for everyone to see and share.

Yep and that’s proof enough for me the FBI is no longer on the side of Patriots. They allowed BLM and Antifa to riot, rape, murder and burn cities with no repercussions. But ththey were able to identify and charge “Trump” supporters in than 48 hours.

The FBI/DOJ and LEOs are not on our side. They are on the side of the Deep State.

And yet the person who slaughtered Ashli Babbitt has yet to even be identified.

The doors were opened, nobody broke in. Try to keep up and put a lid on the frenzied rhetoric.

According to the statement of facts filed by a D.C. Metro Police officer, Alberts was carrying a Taurus G2C handgun, wearing a bulletproof vest and had a backpack containing a gas mask, first aid kit, knife and a packaged military meal-ready to eat.

Standard equipment for waving a US flag at a Trump rally, right?

Riiiight.

That is not going to be a problem. The facial recognition systems at the Capitol are the best in the world and can be linked to every states’ driver license database.

Every one of the Antifa that entered the Capitol will be identified. Every one of them will face serious charges.

They get prison time.

They likely weren’t stupid enough to put it on their social media accounts.

Boy that was quick yet we’re still waiting for the lovebirds to be prosecuted and thrown in jail for the presidential coup they tried.

Wow. Funny how the Feds never move this fast or at all investigating themselves, or a coup, vote fraud, Antifa riots, etc.

I’m inclined to agree with you. MAGA was played, had no chance to win the public perception game given the press. MAGA assembled in a large group in the heart of the swamp, with no central command or organization, just a bunch of angry individuals bopping around. Many innocently walked down to the Capitol and let themselves be infiltrated by provocateurs. That’s why I argued against attending a large assembly in DC on the Swamp’s home field, that was an ambush kill zone. You must have central and lesser command and organization to “fight” (not physically) them on ground of your own choosing.
