FBI Arrests WalkAway Founder Brandon Straka for Involvement in January 6th Capitol Breach
Brandon Straka, the founder of the WalkAway Movement, was arrested on Monday by Omaha FBI Agents according to a report from the FBI.
Straka faces charges for allegedly impeding a law enforcement officers during civil disorder and knowingly entering and remaining on restricted grounds with the intent to disturb a Congressional hearing.
Court documents show that Straka posted a video near the US Capitol entrance shouting, “Go, Go!” however the video was removed off social media and cannot be located on any of Straka’s pages as all posted related to the January 6th event have been removed.
The FBI claims they were sent multiple screenshots of Straka’s posts. These screenshots reportedly revealed that Straka made the following comments on Twitter on Jan. 6th:
“Patriots at the Capitol – HOLD. THE. LINE!!!!”
“I arrived at the Capitol a few hours ago as Patriots were storming from all sides. I was quite close to entering myself as police began tear-gassing us from the door. I inhaled tear gas & got it in my eyes. Patriots began exiting shortly after saying Congress had been cleared.”
“I’m completely confused. For 6-8 weeks everybody on the right has been saying ‘1776!’ & that if congress moves forward it will mean a revolution! So congress moves forward. Patriots storm the Capitol – now everybody is virtual signaling their embarrassment that this happened.”
“Also- be embarrassed & hide if you need to- but I was there. It was not Antifa at the Capitol. It was freedom loving Patriots who were DESPERATE to fight for the final hope of our Republic because literally nobody cares about them. Everyone else can denounce them. I will not.”
“Perhaps I missed the part where it was agreed this would be a revolution of ice cream cones & hair-braiding parties to take our government back from lying, cheating globally interested swamp parasites. My bad.”
Multiple anonymous sources sent footage to the FBI that reportedly showed Straka shouting "we're going in!" and "Go! go!" outside the US Capitol.
Straka remains in FBI custody. His first appearance in federal court will be Tuesday.
