Breaking! First Active Duty Service Member Charged in January 6 Capitol Breach
Breitbart ^ | May 16, 2021 | Kristina Wong

Posted on 05/16/2021 8:44:18 PM PDT by White Lives Matter

The first active duty service member has been charged in connection to the January 6 Capitol breach on Thursday, out of the more than one thousand people estimated to have entered the Capitol building that day.

The service member is Marine Corps Maj. Christopher Warnagiris, 40, according to the Justice Department.

According to the DOJ, his charges stem from Warnagiris allegedly “violently” entering the Capitol, “pushing through a line of police officers guarding the East Rotunda doors,” and once inside, preventing an officer from shutting the doors and helping others get inside.

He is charged with: 1) Assaulting, Resisting, or Impeding Certain Officers or Employee; Obstruction of Law Enforcement During Civil Disorder; Obstruction of Justice/Congress; Knowingly Entering or Remaining in any Restricted Building or Grounds Without Lawful Authority; and Violent Entry and Disorderly Conduct on Capitol Grounds.

DOJ said approximately 440 individuals have been arrested on charges related to the breach, including over 125 individuals charged with assaulting or impeding law enforcement.

D.C. Metropolitan Police Department Chief Robert Contee said at a May 12 hearing on the Capitol building breach that “certainly over 1,000 people” got into the building on January 6.

Officials believe Warnagiris is the only active duty service member facing charges. Four reservists are facing charges in addition to 41 veterans.

“According to the Department of Justice, this is the first active duty service member, plus four Reservists, and 41 veterans charged in conjunction with Jan 6 attack on the Capitol,” said Pentagon spokesman Lt. Col. Martin Meiners.

Despite there being only five out of about 450 charged in relation to the breach so far, the Biden Pentagon has embarked on a massive effort to “root out” extremists from the military.

That's because breaking ONE window and damaging ONE door is MUCH more important than over a billion dollars worth of damage and dozens of citizens murdered.

Why?

Because the one window and one door belonged to 'ELITES' in DC.. and the billion in damage was done to powerless citizens in flyover.

“...charges related to the breach.”

Very sad. Unethical people are skilled at making mountains out of mole hills and making big things out of small things. If the 2017 Berkeley riots against Milo cost $1,000,000, then selfish politicians will focus on one broken window at the Capital and call it “a breach.”

>> that “certainly over 1,000 people” got into the building on January 6.

When exactly will the Country stand up to the reality the Capital police escorted civilians into the building?

And when will the Country wake up to the reality the Ashli fiasco was staged?

Don’t GAS about the random skirmish.

The headline is a reflection of how effective the left can be in setting the narrative. Even on Breitbart they buy into RAT spin. The headline should be : First active duty member charged from stolen election protest.

So on one hand police let them in and others fight like it’s an enemy invasion meanwhile those who go in are a mix of POLICE, Antifa, BLM, MAGA and other types all of whom are pretty much identified especially with the Babbitt assassination. The only ones being prosecuted are Trump supporters obviously.

They managed to scramble over a dozen agents over a noose-like overhead door pull at a NASCAR garage at Talladega. That says much about the FBI’s priorities.

An American patriot, protesting a fraudulent election and a communist takeover of our once great democratic republic. Now a political prisoner held on no bail.
