William Robert “Robbie” NORWOOD III - you took your wife to the Insurrection and lied to the FBI? Search warrant & took the stand at your detention hearing...And James Matthew Horning...
Then you bragged to family members via a group text that you stole a US Capitol Police Officer’s tactical vest and then sent a selfie - only to be out done by voluntarily agreeing to an FBI interview
Full disclosure reading these affidavits is like descending in to the deepest depths of “deep stupid” -with each newly unsealed case/affidavit I’m beginning to think perhaps we should re-evaluate our Public Education system. How do some of these Defendants function on a daily basis, because “deez nuts” yes that’s really in one of the affidavits
Defendant William Robert “Robbie” NORWOOD III
charges: 18 U.S.C. § 1752(a)(1) and (2) - Knowingly Entering or Remaining in any Restricted Building or Grounds Without Lawful Authority,40 U.S.C. § 5104(e)(2)(D), (G) - Violent Entry and Disorderly Conduct on Capitol Grounds,18 U.S.C. §§ 1512(c)(2) and 2 - Obstruction of Justice/Congress,18 U.S.C. § 641 - Theft of Government Property. Criminal Complaint (ECF) Affidavit/Statement of Facts (ECF) or via my public drive
According to the Affidavit on January 19, 2021 a family member of Norwood’s submitted at tip to the FBI. Stating in part that Norwood’s brother received text messages from Norwood stating in sum and substance “he had done some terrible things” which included assaulting numerous Law Enforcement Officers. The FBI agents reviewed a January 5, 2021 text from Norwood, where he admitted in a group text message to others that he “pretended to be Antifa…I’m dressing in all black…I’ll look just like ANTIFA. I’ll get away with anything.”
January 7, 2021 at 9:08 a.m., NORWOOD—saved as “Robbie” in T.D.’s phone—tells a group text message thread: “It worked... I got away with things that others were shot or arrested for.”
In general bragging about how you assaulted four “cops” and then use the preordained exit ramp of “it was Antifa” seems unwise and actually strains credulity. Particularly in the context of dozens of Affidavits (with an actual nexus back to Tarrio and Nordean (here, here) that disclosed Proud Boy Chairman Henry “Enrique” Tarrio sent an open letter to Proud Boys “to wear all black” -in my industry that’s textbook premeditation.
Not to belabor the point - Antifa is widely known for dressing in “all black” - hence Tarrio’s message to Proud Boys Members to dress in “all black” is indicative of establishing a predicate to later implicate Antifa as those who stormed the Capitol. NORWOOD’S braggadocios text messages in no way convey remorse not even a scintilla of remorse.
The temerity of not only assaulting numerous law enforcement officers, but then to rip a tactical vest off an Officer and then pose for a “selfie” of you wearing the same tactical vest you stole - but to then send said “selfie” via a group text message, that’s a whole new level of self incrimination. Beyond putting your crimes in a text message but then going off on your own family after your brother questioned you - this is how Defendant Norwood responded:
“Then allowed ‘ANTIFA Trump supporters’ to assault him. I was one of them. I was there. I took his shit.”
“The cops who acted shitty got exactly what they deserved“
On January 22, 2021 Norwood agreed to a non-custodial interview, he did not bring an attorney. ProTip - if you’ve previously texted a family member of yours bragging about assaulting multiple law enforcement officers and the FBI comes knocking…
…it is either really intellectually stunted or just down right hilarious that you think your “southern charm” can talk your way out of criminality. You really thought the highly trained and skilled agents of the FBI would believe your “stories” - that some random couple from Ohio offered you and your wife a hotel room? This is why you either cut the interview short or just go straight to the “I’d like to speak to an attorney” otherwise the men and women of the FBI will put you in a vice and turn the screws so hard that you will repeatedly implicate yourself and then be looking down the barrel of 18 U.S.C. §1001 - in short don’t lie to the FBI. You might think you’re smart but I can assure you, that you are no match for the FBI.
During the March 2, 2021 Detention hearing, the Defendant took the stand and testified that his text messages (newly disclosed) to his mother, father and sister were sent to “only provoke his sister” but what is also disclosed;
Norwood lied to the FBI about the US Capitol Police Shield and Helmet. Moreover in the Order of Detention- the Court expressly stated the “defendant lied” that the FBI executed a search warrant on Norwood’s “camper” and Agents recovered both the US Capitol Police tactical shield and helmet. This is why one must read every page of any Court filing because these facts are on the last page of the order. The Court also opined Defendant Norwood’s testimony was “not credible” and that he had been “untruthful to the FBI” which contributed to the Order of Detention.
Order of Detention via ECF (as to Norwood’s SCD CR-Case No: 6:21-cr-00058) or via my public drive. Notwithstanding Norwood shall remain in custody pending trial - of course he could appeal the Detention Order but I can’t see that being a successful endeavor given the weight of evidence against him, the seriousness of the charges and not the least of which his own testimony at the hearing. So if he does file an appeal - good luck with that.
Defendant James Matthew Horning
Complaint (ECF) Affidavit (ECF) unless otherwise specified these are the court filings from the Southern District of Ohio (SDOH) MJ Case No: 2:21-mj-00131- his DDC MJ Case No: 1:21-mj-00263-ZMF (ECF-docket report) Horning’s Order for Conditions of Released are still sealed
Charges: 18 U.S.C. § 1752(a)(1) - Knowingly Entering or Remaining in any Restricted Building or Grounds Without Lawful Authority, 18 U.S.C. § 1752(a)(2)- Disorderly Conduct Which Impedes the Conduct of Government Business, 40 U.S.C. § 5104(e)(2)(D) - Violent Entry and Disorderly Conduct on Capitol Grounds, 40 U.S.C. § 5104(e)(2)(G)- Parading, Demonstrating, or Picketing in the Capitol Buildings, 18 U.S.C. § 1512(c)(2) - Obstruction of Justice/Congress.
Well now, I see that we’ve skipped past to the dry and boring fact portion of an affidavit and have skipped right to “deez nuts” - no really that’s actually in the affidavit. But preceding that the affidavit disclosed he was smoking dope on the Capitol steps. I’m not judging if smoking pot is your thing - have at it.
“…Those of you calling for an investigation, why don’t you try investigating deez nuts with ya chin”
But to be clear the FBI received tips from two separate individuals, one of whom has known the Defendant for most of his life. Granted posting on Facebook might have contributed to the criminal charges. But “deez nuts” truly takes the cake in both comedy and stupidity.
But in all seriousness- did these insurrectionist think posting on social media and then later delete their post(s) would some how erase their culpability? That by merely deleting their post would just make their unlawful actions disappear? Nothing is ever really deleted - well unless you have “god-like administrative” access to core servers - but even then there’s always a back up - 0s and 1s tried true and tested.
Unlike previous affidavits - there is no disclosure in Horning’s case that Agents obtained cellular tower data. Conversely in Horning’s case there are three separate witnesses that provided tips to the FBI. Furthermore the investigating agent(s) also obtained security/surveillance footage from the US Capitol Police.
On February 26, 2021 an ORDER (ECF) REQUIRING A DEFENDANT TO APPEAR IN THE DISTRICT WHERE CHARGES ARE PENDING AND TRANSFERRING BAIL as to James Matthew Horning. Defendant to appear in the District of Columbia. Signed by Magistrate Judge Kimberly A. Jolson - that hearing is scheduled for March 4, 2021 in DDC where the Defendant shall appear via Zoom
And with that I believe you are sufficiently caught up with the current cases. Also late yesterday the George Washington University released a new report coauthored jointly by our staff, titled "This is Our House!" A Preliminary Assessment of the Capitol Hill Siege Participants."
Again I highly recommend that you read their preliminary report. Particularly in light of FBI Director Wray’s Senate testimony which I detailed in this article and further expounded on Domestic Terrorism, found here - Be Well. Be Healthy. And be informed.
ps Twitter isn’t real life. I have no plans to address the latest events. Given there are two active criminal investigations and I am seeking available legal remedies to address the nearly two year plus stalking and harassment campaign.
