Son of a current AZ Congressional Candidate Jeff Zink, arrested and charged Ryan Zink
Daddy is going to be super mad and embarrassed that his son was arrested - Its a two for one. Steve Omar Maldonado also charged
Steve Omar Maldonado:
Was arrested in the early morning of Wednesday, February 10, 2021 at Orlando International Airport. Maldonado was preparing board a flight to Puerto Rico.
Case Number: 1:21-mj-210
Charge(s): Restricted Building or Grounds; Violent Entry or Disorderly Conduct, and parade, demostrate, or picket on Capitol Grounds
The affidavit alleges that Maldonado, was identified by several concerned citizens, who knew Maldonado for years. Further Maldonado sent one of the concerned citizens several videos he had taken while inside the Capitol. The defendant was wearing a white hat with “Make America Great Again” with (former) President Donald Trump’s name on it. And simultaneously carrying a Trump flag.
In total three separate concerned citizens (Complainants) contacted the FBI. Specifically Complainant # 3 had received videos from Maldonado, who in turn sent the video to Complainant # 2 and then sent the video to Complainant # 1, who ultimately contacted the FBI.
The speed in which Federal Law Enforcement acted is nothing but astonishing. In less than a week investigators obtained security footage from the US Capitol Police, interviewed three complainants and on February 3, 2021 Agents interviewed Maldonado at his home. During the course of this interview Maldonado admitted to Agents that he was at the Capitol and that he sent the

RYAN SCOTT ZINK
Interesting side note, Ryan Zink is the son of current Congressional Candidate Jeff Zink - such a pity that I can’t “@“ Jeff Zink with a copy of his son’s criminal complaint and affidavit - Oddly Zink’s Complaint has not been updated to the DOJ-Capitol Attack Database, however I recommend you bookmark this link]

The FBI received information from a confidential source (“CS-1”). Then the investigating agent reviewed of records obtained by law enforcement, . The FBI agent also had multiple conversations with other law enforcement officers. The CS-1 told investigators that he/she knew Zink and then provided Law Enforcement with numerous screen captures from Zink’s social media. The CS-1 also provided information on at least two unidentified and potential (emphasis on potential) their participation in the insurrection.
See archive of Zink’s business page, found here which is also referenced in the Affidavit, on page 2 ECF/PACER or via my public drive - for some odd reason I can’t archive his business Facebook account so I converted to a pdf and uploaded to my public drive
Oh you’d like to see the actually receipts that support my assertion that current Arizona Republican Congressional Candidate Jeff Zink’s son Ryan was arrested today? See page 3 of the Affidavit
The affidavit states:
“ZINK had the phone camera pointed at himself. ZINK proclaimed: “We knocked down the gates! We’re storming the Capitol! You can’t stop us!” ZINK panned the phone camera to show the other members of the crowd around him. In the video, ZINK pushed through the crowd to move towards the front of the Capitol. ZINK began chanting, “we want Trump” as he moved forward. ZINK turned the camera back to himself and stated: “We stormed the Capitol. There’s thousands of us here. They can’t stop us all!” Facing the camera, ZINK then stated: “Get to your capitols. Get to your capitols. It’s time.” Just before the video segment ended, ZINK, faced the phone camera, said: “We’re about to bum-rush this shit!”
Report of Proceedings under Rule 5(c)(3) and 5.1 as to Ryan Scott Zink. Defendant is removed forthwith to the district in which he is charged. Paperwork sent to District of Columbia. NDTX Order of Removal ECF/PACER or via my Public Drive.
And yet Ryan’s daddy is all over the media aiding and abetting his son’s lies; he was there just to document what was going on. He was helping police officers and law makers get to safety
This was Ryan’s dad, Jeff Zink, the day after his son was arrested and taken in to Federal Custody. Ryan Zink remains in Federal Custody. I believe Zink has a middle aisle seat reserved on the next Insurrection-Con-Air flight.
At this moment I’m somewhat disappointed that I can’t go on Twitter and post his son’s arrest. Whispers the Order of Removal Ryan Zink is in the Custody of US Marshals. The NDTX Judge ordered Zink’s removal from Texas to Washington DC forthwith <snort>
I believe we are now at 210 Trump-Mob defendants. It is unfair and unwarranted to criticize eithe Capitol Police or MCPD. I am working on a new project and it will be entirely from the Law Enforcement Point of View. In a nutshell it was protracted hand-to-hand combat by law enforcement… again this is an insane week at work. Actually it is until the first week of March, since this is my busy season and has been|\, for 17+ years. The only upside to COVID-19 is the 2020/2021 legislative session, now requires virtual lobbying. But it is not as effective as sitting down with lawmakers looking them in the eye, while you are doggedly advocating for your client(s)
I'd be more than happy to post on your behalf. 😉
Thanx so much for all you do. These updates are the best remedy for my anxiety.
