DOMINIC PEZZOLA Spaz and William Pepe Proud Boys now indicted and detained pending trial

The Proud Boys intended to murder lawmakers. Their intent is written in various motions to detain and in other Court filings

Apologies I am a bit late to the Proud Boy Indictment Party, I have been preoccupied but I wanted to make sure this indictment was properly explained and dissected. Shall we?

January 29, 2021 a grand jury seated in Washington DC returned an eleven count indictment as to Defendants Dominic Pezzola and William Pepe. The Department of Justice has a database and you can access some of the Court Filings at zero cost. And as my standard practice the Court filings that require an ECF/PACER account, I will upload to my public drive so you’re not paying for them.

Pezzalo & Pepe INDICTMENT

William Pepe, January 11, 2021 Complaint via DOJ and Affidavit/Statement of Facts via DOJ and Dominic Pezzola, January 11, 2021 Complaint via and Affidavit via DOJ

Pezzola & Pepe - Indictment or a highlighted and annotated copy can be found on my public drive, Defendant Pezzalo; Counts 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, and 11 as to Defendant Pepe Indicted on Counts 1, 2, 8, and 9

VIOLATIONS

18 U.S.C. §371 -Conspiracy, 18 U.S.C. §lll(a)(l)-Assaulting, Resisting, or Impeding Certain Officers, 18 U.S.C. § 231(a)(3)-Civil Disorder, 18 U.S.C §1361-Government Property or Contracts, 18 U.S.C. §1512(c)(2)-Obstruction of an Official Proceeding, 18 USC. §2112-Robbery of Personal Property of the United States, 18 U.S.C. §1752(a)(l), (2), & (4) -Restricted Building or Grounds, 18 U.S.C §2-Aiding and Abetting. As detailed in the Indictment, the Object of the Conspiracy:

was to obstruct, influence, impede, and interfere with law enforcement officers engaged in their official duties in protecting the U.S. Capitol and its grounds during the demonstrations planned for January 6, 2021.

One widely overlooked fact in the Pezzalo/Pepe indictment can be found on pages 9 and 10 of the indictment, specifically paragraphs 32 thru 39. At the time I vaguely remember seeing reports that “surmised” (then) Vice-President Elect Harris was at the Capitol during the insurrection. Yet reading it in the indictment as confirmation, that she was in fact at the Capitol during the insurrection - sent a shiver up my spine.

…did unlawfully and knowingly enter and remain in a restricted building and grounds, that is, any posted, cordoned-off, and otherwise restricted area within the United States Capitol and its grounds, where the Vice President and Vice President-elect were temporarily visiting

Lastly I had no idea that Defendant Pezzalo had confronted US Capitol Police Officer Eugene Goodman. Officer Goodman should be lauded for his heroic actions. We need more people like Officer Goodman. As detailed on page 10, paragraphs 40 and 41 under Count Eleven (11) of the indictment:

“…PEZZOLA, aiding and abetting others known and unknown to the Grand Jury, and aided and abetted by them, did confront Capitol Police Officer Eugene Goodman inside the U.S. Capitol while Officer Goodman was engaged in the performance ofhis official duties…. PEZZOLA committed and attempted to commit an act to obstruct, impede, and interfere with a law enforcement officer, that is Eugene Goodman, engaged in the performance of his official duties..

GOVERNMENT’S MEMORANDUM IN SUPPORT OF PRETRIAL DETENTION as to Dominic Pezzola;

This particular Court filing is critically IMPORTANT: January 29, 2021 Department of Justice memorandum in support of the defendant’s pretrial detention (ECF/PACER or via my public drive) the criminal matter of Prosecutors explicitly stated in their Memorandum in Support of Detention Pending Trial

defendant was at one of the entrances to the west side of the Capitol, with that same shield, using it to break the window, allowing himself and multiple other rioters to be among the first—if not the first—to enter the interior of the Capitol building on January 6

Pezzola can be heard saying words to the effect of, “Victory smoke in the Capitol, boys. This is f***ing awesome. I knew we could take this motherf***er over [if we] just tried hard enough.”

the group talked about things they had done during the day, and they said that anyone they got their hands on they would have killed, including Nancy Pelosi. W-1 further stated that members of this group, which included “Spaz,” said that they would have killed [Vice President] Mike Pence if given the chance… W-1 stated that the group said that they planned to kill every single “m-fer” they can.W-1 stated the men said they all had firearms or access to firearms.

Federal Law Enforcement obtained location information from Pezzola’s cell phone provider. That information confirmed that Pezzola traveled from Rochester, NY to the Washington, D.C. on January 5. Pezzola’s cell phone data also showed he had returned to Rochester on January 7. When Investigators started to analyze the cell phone data, it show;

“despite consistent activity on Pezzola’s phone for the months leading up to the riot at the Capitol, the phone stopped being used on or about January 9, 2021”

Moreover prosecutors also disclosed that Pezzola’s “self surrender” only occurred after FBI agents started knocking on doors in the Rochester area, seeking to interview members of Pezzola’s family. Additionally Pezzola’s cell phone appeared to remain “off” until he self surrendered on January 15th. And that upon intake Pezzola appeared to have changed his appearance. The footnote on page 15, reads in part:

later interview, W-1 stated that the group had no definitive date for a return to Washington, D.C, but W-1 re-iterated that the others agreed there would be guns and that they would be back soon and they would bring guns.

On page 16 of the Government’s Motion for Detention, on January 15, 2021 executed a search warrant on Pezzola’a home. Agents recovered a thumb drive, which contained hundreds of .pdf files. Prosecutors disclosed that a large number of the .pdfs provide detailed instructions aka DYI for making homemade firearms, poisons, and/or explosives.

Again the Department of Justice memorandum in support of the defendant Pezzola’s pretrial detention is one you should read, available via ECF/PACER or via my public drive (and yes you know that secretly you actually like my highlights and spicy annotations -at least that’s what I keep telling myself for the past for years. Also I’m petty I tend to only use the pink highlights for Paedophiles, Domestic Terrorist and Basta)

On February 9, 2021 Arraignment of Defendants Pezzalo (Defendant # 1) and Defendant Pepe (Defendant # 2). Each Defendant entered a Not Guilty Plea as to the Counts in the Indictment. Pezzalo remains in custody, as in he was not granted bail

Defendant Pezzalo Motion For Modification of Bond

Filed on February 10, 2021 via ECF/PACER or via my public drive

I genuinely do not fault Pezzalo’s attorney for advocating for his client’s release with modifications. Specifically requesting the court consider release Pezzalo with heightened restrictions of his release. It’s their job to advocate for their client. And please do not assume I’m talking poorly about Federal Public Defenders, some of the smartest attorneys I know are PDs.

Defendant Pezzalo’s Motion to Modification of Bond and Release with Enhanced Conditions- I find this filing unavailing

Footnotes, always read the footnotes. As previously elucidated yes the Government has a cooperating witness. Notably the cooperating witness provided Federal Law Enforcement with various screenshots of chat messages and confirmed Pezzalo’s identity and cell phone number. Which the Prosectors disclosed they obtained a search and seizure warrant which was served on Pezzalo’s cell phone provider.

p. 14 of the Prosecution’s detention memorandum where the prosecution claims an unidentified person, W1, apparently a cooperating witness, claims defendant was present when “other persons” expressed an intention to commit acts of violence and possession of weapons which would enable them to do so.

Moving on to page 4 of the Defendant’s Motion, wow. just. wow. So Pezzalo’s family reliance on his computer technological skills are “rudimentary” and that his Attorney may have “accidentally downloaded” that’s not exactly a persuasive counter argument to the DOJ’s filing. Defendant Pezzalo’s wife isn’t lawfully his wife, in his motion he states it’s a “common law marriage” and that Lisa Magee¹²³and Defendant Pezzalo voluntarily stated his “common law wife” works for PreTrial Services⁴ Also trust me on this, read the footnote on page 13

But to disclose that you client attended the December 12, 2020 MAGA Proud Boy Rally in DC which left three people stabbed after a full on melee. That’s not exactly smart or the best lawyering…

Based on disclosures made by the prosecution it seems defendant’s only other “action” as a Proud Boy was that on December 12, 2020, he attended a “Make America Great Again” (MAGA) rally in support of then President Trump.
