The FBI recently raided the homes of two men who sponsored an invective-laced rally near the US Capitol a day before the deadly insurrection, the first known search warrants involving people who organized and spoke at rallies preceding the attack.
CNN learned of the raids through an eyewitness account, public records, a lawyer representing one of the rally organizers and an FBI spokeswoman who confirmed details of the searches.
FBI spokeswoman Laura Eimiller confirmed that federal agents executed search warrants last week at two properties in Orange County, California, which public records indicate belong to Russell Taylor and Alan Hostetter. The two men run the American Phoenix Project, which co-sponsored a pro-Donald Trump rally near the Supreme Court on January 5, one day before the attack. Neither man has been charged with any crimes.
Footage of the rally shows the men spewing militant vitriol: Hostetter told the crowd to prepare for "war tomorrow" against "vipers" in Congress who refused to nullify President Joe Biden's win. Taylor said, "We will not return to our peaceful way of life until this election is made right."
Court documents related to the search warrants are still under seal, but the raids are the first publicly known federal actions against people who organized rallies linked to the Capitol attack. Federal investigators have issued more than 500 subpoenas and search warrants in the probe.

Next, they’ll be charged with possession of child pornography that the FBI “found” (supplied) during the raid.
Poor guys. Doubt the accusations. Arrested for the Free Speech and Assembling.
ALCU MIA
Hunter Biden’s laptop does have a purpose after all
“Neither man has been charged with any crimes.”
So how did they get someone to sign off on their raid?
Sounds like they were arrested for expressing their 1st Amendment Rights.
Any FBI raids over the riots where cities burned, city halls and police stations were destroyed, federal Court buildings were attacked, and hundreds of millions of dollars of property were destroyed?
If there were, I haven’t read about it.
Would the FBI please post a list of the raids and the results thereof, on antifa and black lives matter organizers.
Just for historical reference.
Put the papers in front of them and hand them a pen.
Antifa/BLM activists and their allies are laughing their asses off. A two-tiered justice system is on display.
It’s a fishing expedition. They’ll find something unrelated to charge then with. It’s what they do.
Anti Christian Lawyers' Union or should it be
Anti Lawyers Christian Union? ;-)
They will continue to be missing. They just appointed the “first black woman” to head up the organization.
“Show me the man and I’ll show you the crime”
Lavrentiy Beria, the most ruthless and longest-serving secret police chief in Joseph Stalin’s reign of terror in Russia and Eastern Europe, bragged that he could prove criminal conduct on anyone, even the innocent.
Beria targeted “the man” first, then proceeded to find or fabricate a crime. Beria’s modus operandi was to presume the man guilty, and fill in the blanks later.
Seems like that standard prevails today.
This was just a dress rehearsal for the upcoming FBI raids against Antifa and BLM riot organizers....right?
After than, the FBI will raid the WTO rioters, plus all of the sports championship winners & losers riots!
Then all of the MSM talking heads and Democrat Congress critters who have been inciting to riot ever since Trump was elected.
If you ever wondered just much the deep state had control of Federal agencies and just why there was no accountability of those who formulated and executed the Russian collusion hoax, all you have to do is observe the speed and the tenacity that the FBI is demonstrating against people who are speaking freely. Now that the Left is in full control, all pretense of respecting constitutional rights is gone. Sad time for America and disgrace for a once vaunted FBI. Biden no doubt will reinstate or embrace openly McCabe, Comey and Szork.
Isn’t it called free speach. We’re in trouble. But praise the Lord and pass the ammo.
Exactly!
