U.S. prosecutors alleged Thursday that a former FBI official and Navy intelligence officer before the Jan. 6 Capitol breach organized a group of trained fighters and was in contact with self-styled militia groups including the Proud Boys, Oath Keepers and Three Percenters, making him a "key figure" in the federal probe into the incident.
The revelations emerged as prosecutors asked a federal judge to detain Thomas Edward Caldwell, pending trial, according to The Washington Post.
The allegations appear to provide further evidence that the deadly siege was coordinated and planned months in advance. A police officer and one person who breached the U.S. capitol building died as a result of the siege, as Congress attempted to certify the 2020 presidential election for Democrat Joe Biden.
Prosecutors allege the 66-year-old Caldwell used his military and law enforcement experience to plan an assault weeks ahead of the siege – including possible snipers and ferrying a cache of weapons along the Potomac River.
Caldwell, of Berryville, Va., is charged on counts of conspiracy, obstructing an official proceeding, trespassing, destruction of government property, and aiding and abetting, The Post also reports.

Bet he is still a Fed asset.
[deadly siege]
Certainly was deadly to the unarmed woman shot by the guy with the pistol.
Oh, never mind.........
Q was arrested?
Sounds like the Democrats have found their Marinus van der Lubbe.
Just more BS.
I’m shocked.
The SIEGE was done by LEFTIES! Proud Boys is NOT a conservative group! WHO names themselves PROUD BOYS??? STUPID! What are OathKeepers....is this supposed to sound like PROMISE KEEPERS, which WAS a conservative group!
20 years in Federal prison, no parole, forfeit all retirement, confiscate his home, cars, guns, paychecks
Well, as I understand it, a window was broken.
And the government killed a lady.
So this guy's "plan" really sucked.
There is ZERO evidence that the police officer who died was injured in any way at the "siege". Autopsy shows no sign of physical injury, the body has been cremated.
You would win that bet if we did not live in a fascist republic.

A favorite tactic of dictatorships is to apply spectacular punishments to any present or former bureaucrat displaying disloyalty.
Enemies of the people! Counter-revolutionaries! Running dogs of cis-white hetero-normativity!

Deadly siege? I suppose that’s a reference to the unarmed young woman who was shot to death, apparently by a police officer, because it’s been confirmed that the other three deaths that occurred during the course of the rally were not directly the result of anyone’s violent behavior.

Given that the MSM is a propaganda arm of the Deep State, it’s not surprising that so many people are unaware of that fact.
I’m not sure its relevant, but the slain Aschli Babbitt was allegedly an intelligence officer int the Air Force.
This would’ve been a less half-assed news article if it had at least tried to “follow the money” to find the root source of the whole shebang. Otherwise, it may as well have been written in crayon.
