Springfield brothers arrested for roles in insurrection at Capitol Building, released on personal recognizance


Two Springfield brothers were released on personal recognizance bond following their initial appearance this morning in U. S. District Court after being arrested for their roles in the insurrection in the January 6 U. S. Capitol Building.

Probable cause affidavits indicate Stephen Brian Quick, 30, (top photo) and Michael Aaron Quick, admitted to FBI investigators they had gone to Washington for the so-called "Stop the Steal" rally and entered the Capitol building.

The affidavit includes numerous photos of both men in the building taken from security footage, as well as from video found on Stephen Quick's SD card.

The brothers were cited for disorderly conduct, unlawful activities on Capitol grounds and for parading and demonstrating within the Capitol building (essentially a trespassing charge).







The affidavits indicate both brothers cooperated with investigators.

MICHAEL QUICK recounted that he entered the Capitol building where he saw a broken window and entered a hallway. 

(He)said he saw police in the hallway wearing riot gear. MICHAEL QUICK estimated he was inside the CAPITOL for a period of time between five and fifteen minutes. 

MICHAEL QUICK explained that his goal was to show support so Congress would investigate irregularities in the election and do something about it. 

MICHAEL QUICK stated that he did not know he was trespassing at the time because he thought police were letting people in. (He) also said that police were telling people where the exits were while he was inside. 
The probable cause affidavit included a photo of Michael Quick and others entering the building through an open window.







The probable cause affidavits opened by relating the circumstances surrounding the trespassing into the Capitol Building.

On January 6, 2021, a joint session of the United States Congress convened at the United States Capitol, which is located at First Street, SE, in Washington, D.C. 

During the joint session, elected members of the United States House of Representatives and the United States Senate were meeting in separate chambers of the United States Capitol to certify the vote count of the Electoral College of the 2020 Presidential Election, which had taken place on November 3, 2020. 

The joint session began at approximately 1 p.m. Shortly thereafter, by approximately 1:30 p.m., the House and Senate adjourned to separate chambers to resolve a particular objection. 

Vice President Mike Pence was present and presiding, first in the joint session, and then in the Senate chamber. As the proceedings continued in both the House and the Senate, and with Vice President Pence present and presiding over the Senate, a large crowd gathered outside the U.S. Capitol. 

As noted above, temporary and permanent barricades were in place around the exterior of the U.S. Capitol building, and U.S. Capitol Police were present and attempting to keep the crowd away from the Capitol building and the proceedings underway inside. 

At such time, the certification proceedings were still underway and the exterior doors and windows of the U.S. Capitol were locked or otherwise secured. Members of the U.S. Capitol Police attempted to maintain order and keep the crowd from entering the Capitol; however, shortly around 2 p.m., individuals in the crowd forced entry into the U.S. Capitol, including by breaking windows and by assaulting members of the U.S. Capitol Police, as others in the crowd encouraged and assisted those acts. 

Shortly thereafter, at approximately 2:20 p.m. members of the United States House of Representatives and United States Senate, including the President of the Senate, Vice President Pence, were instructed to—and did—evacuate the chambers. 

Accordingly, the joint session of the United States Congress was effectively suspended until shortly after 8 p.m. Vice President Pence remained in the United States Capitol from the time he was evacuated from the Senate Chamber until the sessions resumed. 

During national news coverage of the aforementioned events, video footage which appeared to be captured on mobile devices of persons present on the scene depicted evidence of violations of local and federal law, including scores of individuals inside the U.S. Capitol building without authority to be there.

They can't help themselves.

Nothing says steaming pile of fascist like claiming that anyone other than Trump's idiot election overturning seditionists were behind the January 6 insurrection. Some Reichwingers even falsely call it a a false flag. When video shows the Trumpist seditionists plotting to call it a false flag.

But it was a false flag operation. The leaders of these militia groups were all long-time FBI officials and informants. Too much video exists of the Capitol Police letting them antifa and BLM activists in then shooting the idiots who let themselves get carried away. So yes, some of us call this false-flag operation a Reichstag Fire or Charlottesville 2.0.

Epstein didn't kill himself and Senile Joe lost the election which was rigged. Live with the fact that most of us are on to you and we no longer have anything in common to keep us together. Keep telling us that it isn't what we see and how we ought to believe you.
