A Virginia man awaiting trial on criminal charges stemming from the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol recently procured a pipe bomb and other weapons, a violation of his parole, federal prosecutors said on Wednesday.

U.S. Justice Department lawyers said in a court filing that they discovered a "loaded M4 rifle" and a "partially assembled pipe bomb," among other weapons, during a search of Thomas Robertson's home in Ferrum, Virginia.

Robertson is a former police sergeant in Rocky Mount, Virginia. The town's police department fired him and another officer, Jacob Fracker, and photographs surfaced of them inside the Capitol building during the deadly attack.

None of this is true of course because the law says felons cannot posess a firearm or ammunition, let alone a pipe bomb.

I do my job 75% and compliance 25%, and the compliance side just grows and grows. Maybe that's why Trump made sure to say "we love you" as a parting gift.

Trump speeches are like a buffet line; there's a lot to unpack there, something for everyone and he dances around it at will. If someone accuses him of serving only fatty foods, he points to the veggie tray even though he spent 10 minutes praising the greatness of the bacon-fried bacon tray. He's a coward and refuses to stand by his words by being mealy-mouthed.

Trump's Insurrection speech is an example as was, hours later and after four deaths, his announcement for everyone to go home despite his continued claim the election was stolen.

No shit, Sherlock. Consider the fact he was on bail and not a convicted felon at the time.

My understanding is that he was restricted from possessing guns while on bail. Obviously possessing a pipe bomb is Verboten theses days....when it was just teenagers having fun in the woods when I was kid.

Remind me to bring this up the next time you laugh at "an anonymous source". ;)

Okay, so the ATF doesn't like ghost guns. No shit. I don't agree with may US gun laws, but I comply with them. What does this have to do with your support for domestic terrorists, pipe bombs and blowing up Federal buildings and the innocent Americans inside them?

The right has gone off the chain to attack our own government with violence.

This is all because of Trump's big fat mouth.

Words matter.

Trump belongs in prison with no method of communicating his dementia with the outside world.

His mouth is a danger to US society.

Every time he opens it he makes America less great.

All he does is whips up hatred, violence and domestic terrorism.

Russian mafia leader Putin must be pleased.

isn't it funny how government execution operations can have a end result of revenge?

Reminds me of a friend from undergrad (he joined the FBI by the way) who used to react to an implied threat by saying... "if you feel froggy, then jump"
He was from Atl and spoke fluent Russian. Ended up in Texas.... Hmmm? ;)

Do you EVER read the stuff you post ???

From the article ...

"a "partially assembled pipe bomb,"

Let us have a definition of just what a "partially assembled pipe bomb," ... is ... does it mean they found a piece of pipe and made ASSUMPTIONS from there. And we all know that "U.S. Justice Department lawyers" are fair and truthful ... remember the bit about indicting a ham sandwich ???

But alas ... questions like that are too hard for JPP dimlibs.

In general, I agree with your post, but only a violent minority of nutjobs, racists and malcontents are seeking to overthrow the US. Most, like the Republican leadership in DC, are doing nothing. They aren't helping and they aren't actively hurting. They're just standing around waiting to see what happens.

Notice how quickly Kevin McCarthy flipped his tune after 1/6.

Ask those who arrested him. Let's see if the evidence holds up at his terrorism trial.

He was out on bail dofus now he's not

Prosecutors said in Wednesday's court filing that the release order should be revoked immediately because Robertson violated the judge's orders and "presents a danger to the community that no release conditions will adequately mitigate."

He'll spend the next year or so in jail. AFAIK, in such cases there won't be a second bail. He sealed his own fate by breaking the law in the first place and breaking it again by violating the conditions of his bail.
 
yet still, nobody asking another very important question, like how did this fired police officer get a hold of an automatic weapon?

The judge and jury will see them but I'm guessing he'll plead out rather than risk life in a supermax.

EDUCATE ME ... I am under the impression that the plea bargaining is over once the trial begins ... if that is the case ... then j and j won't see them either ... please correct me if I'm wrong
