An other day -more defendants charged Raechel Genco, Richard Michetti -Bucks County PA seems like an insurrectionist hub, this is the 7th arrest in that County alone
Some of the affidavits in the round up are straight up hilarious- like the one who’s girl-friend accidentally outs herself as her boyfriend was charged and a third arrest of another Pennsylvania Man
When Donald Trump sends his people, he’s not sending his best…
…this week Congress held a series of hearings. I highly recommend you listen to Captain Carneysha Mendoza’s statement. Trump and the GOP no longer have the monopoly of being the “party of law and order” they have forfeited this privilege, for all perpetuity. As further detailed in these past articles, which detailed various cases. For example Defendant LOPATIC found here, Defendant Ethan Nordean, found here, Defendant Kyle Fitzsimmons, found here, Defendants Calhoun & Nalley found, here - the numerous Proud Boys cases found here, here, here
Defendant Raechel Genco and her “bae” Ryan SAMSEL1
Imagine having the FBI come to your house to execute a search warrant on your “boyfriend”, who also happens to be your live-in boyfriend. And then you sit there as your boyfriend lies to the FBI agents. He foolishly thought he can talk his way out of assaulting a US Capitol Police Officer. Who was pushed so hard that she hit her head on the concrete steps and rendered her unconscious. Ryan they have you on film assaulting this police officer. They saw you trying to drag her, in her semi-unconscious state away from her fellow officers. Yet you thought you wouldn’t face criminal charges?
In the affidavit regarding Defendant Samsel -he lead a group and pushed past the outer pedestrian perimeter which had temporary metal fencing. Samsel and others forward momentum resulted in a US Capitol Police Officer O-1 falling and hitting hear head on the concrete steps and losing consciousness. At which point Samsel can be seen picking USCP Officer O-1 off the ground. (ECF/ PACER AFFIDAVIT Defendant SAMSEL) Officer O-1 later blacked out and collapsed in a booking area. Officer O-1 was immediately rushed to a hospital, where medical staff concluded her fall resulted in a serious concussion. This is why I’m loathe to criticize the US Capitol Police.
Further did anyone notice that Defendant Ryan Samsel is on probation? Or that FBI agents obtained a judicially authorized search warrant? And that data ftom Samsel’s cell phone provider that his phone ping’ d traveling from Pennsylvania to Washington DC and then returning from DC to PA on January 6, 2021
“….discovered that he is on parole in Pennsylvania and that he is currently wanted in Riverside, New Jersey on a non- extraditable warrant from 2019 arising out of an alleged assault…”
As you’ll note SAMSEL’s DDC-MJ-case docket two recent filings that are interesting. A reasonably informed person could conclude that perhaps (operative word) Samsel and the Government have reached an (informal or formal) cooperation agreement2 - Affidavit to Defendant Samsel found here.
…that would explain why both parties agreed to a forty three day continuance for Samsel’s preliminary hearing. Again that is an educated guess, but an informed conclusion. For now I would tentatively put Defendant Samsel in the Cooperating with the Government column.
Which now leads us to Samsel’s girlfriend, Raechel Genco - on February 24, 2021 the Government unsealed her case, charged with violating “18 U.S.C. § 1752(a)(1), and (2), which makes it a crime to (1) knowingly enter or remain in any restricted building or grounds without lawful authority to do so“ - Oh look Samsel & Genco holding hands. How adorable to see those two crazy love birds - gleefully participating in a deadly insurrection.
Notice the screen-shots included in the affidavits for Genco and Samsel? Yes both were present when the crowd pushed pass the temporary fencing -ultimately resulting in US Capitol Police Officer O-1 sustaining a serious concussion. Look at Page 3 of the Affidavit3 (ECF/PACER or via my public drive) concerning Defendant Genco. Officer O-1 is pictured standing up - which means this screenshot depicts the moment just before Genco’s “bae” Samsel pushed past the temporary gates.
Further in the Affidavit as to both defendants Samsel and Genco, on January 30, 2021 agents executed a judicially authorized search warrant of the home Samsel shares with Genco and other members of Genco’s Family. He also (presumably voluntarily) agreed to speak with FBI agents and during the course of that interview he proceeded to lie to the Agents. Stating in sum and substance that he and Genco never went pass the Capitol outer (temporary) barriers. Samsel and Genco aka Romeo & Juliette Insurrectionist.
Richard MICHETTI
Now this affidavit (ECF/PACER) is both hilarious and horrifying. In reading the text messages Michetti sent to his ex-girlfriend.. wow- just- wow.. these messages give investigators and prosecutors a glimpse into his “state of mind” -I don’t know if MICHETTI was attempting to impress his ex-girlfriend -by providing her with a quasi real time narration of his crime-ing … the text messages included in the affidavit are…well you can read them and make your own deduction.
🌶sidebar -the “pics or it didn’t happen” is an approach I’ve used to get two individuals in separate Facebook groups to send me what they recorded during their participation in the deadly insurrection. In one case, the guy sent me eleven links to his videos that are marked “private” - to wit I immediate downloaded each video and then sent them to the FBI.
By all appearances MITCHETTI’s text messages to his ex-girlfriend - perhaps texting your former girlfriend that “you’re a moron” might have been his undoing… The footnote is just epic and brutally savage.
4:26 p.m., MICHETTI texted W1, “If you can’t see the election was stolen you’re a moron,” and “This is our country do you think we live like kings because no one sacrificed anything?” MICHETTI continued, “ . . . [T]he vote was fraud and trump won but they won’t audit the votes. We are patriots we are not revolutionaries the other side is revolutionaries they want to destroy this country and they say it openly….
And yes I know it’s impertinent to laugh at the defendant but the picture included in the affidavit - perfectly encapsulates the conundrum that is QANON-MAGA. For the record the red text and red arrows are mine, they are nor original to the affidavit, only the red circle is.
But on page 5 of the Affidavit- while most will only focus on the Defendant, which is normal - but I’m not like most people - so who’s the guy in the suit and tie?
The affidavit also disclosed that the FBI obtained a printed copy of a receipt from the Yotel Hotel. He checked into the Hotel under his “real name” on January 5, 2021, and subsequent checked out on January 6, 2021. For those that do not know, the Yotel Hotel is about one block away from the Capitol
Enjoy this video - but again how dumb are these defendants? You lack the intellect to understand that your own actions have lead to your arrest.
For now you should be caught up - but there are still four other defendants that I need to dissect. This is becoming like a full time job.
I think for my own mental health I should take a break from the US Capitol Cases. After reading the recently unsealed Coffee’a affidavit- if Texas wants to secede from the Union (again you should have stayed gone circa 1861) F-I-N-E they can GTFO. Coffee makes the 16th Texan arrested and some are accused of brutally assaulting law enforcement. And stop with the judge-y eyes, I have family in Texas, sometimes I refuse to claim them and vice versa they refuse to claim me - it’s a two way street. /snort
