Seth Aaron Pendley was arrested on Thursday and charged with plotting to blow up an Amazon data center in Virginia, prosecutors said.

A Texas man who boasted that he was at the United States Capitol when a pro-Trump mob stormed the building in January has been charged with plotting to blow up an Amazon data center in Virginia, the Justice Department said on Friday.
The man, Seth Aaron Pendley, 28, of Wichita Falls, was arrested on Thursday after he took what he believed were explosive devices from a bomb supplier but were in fact inert objects provided by an undercover F.B.I. agent in Fort Worth, prosecutors said.
He was charged with a malicious attempt to destroy a building with an explosive, Prerak Shah, the acting U.S. attorney for the Northern District of Texas, said in a statement. If convicted, Mr. Pendley faces 20 years in prison. Federal officials said they had begun investigating the plot after a concerned citizen contacted the F.B.I. on Jan. 8 about alarming statements posted on MyMilitia.com, a forum dedicated to organizing militia groups.
A user with the screen name Dionysus wrote that he was planning to “conduct a little experiment” that he said would “draw a lot of heat” and could be “dangerous,” prosecutors said.

^ BTW, the above is related to the Boogaloo who killed a federal security officer during the chaos of early BLM protests in Oakland; he went there specifically from his home in Ben Lomond, after hearing that there would be protests, to try to shoot cops, shooting out of his van. He got away in the van. A week later, back home, he got into a shootout with sheriff's deputies looking into the van as implicated in the Oakland shooting, as described
so these other guys are seen as accessories. Note the indictment does come from a grand jury.

FBI still looking for lots of Jan. 6 participants. I was browsing the tweets on that by the Washington Field office and was surprised to find some "p.o.c." on the list, like these

They still got nothing on the DC pipe bomber, but they have added additional videos to the originals:

"His trial will explore an important question: how much should the gov't police violent rhetoric on social media?" Especially against sitting politicians, we see that all the time!

Capitol rioter arrested after being turned in by match on online dating app Bumble
By Marshall Cohen @ CNN.com, Updated 3:18 PM ET, Fri April 23, 2021
According to court documents, one week after the attack, Robert Chapman of New York told one of his Bumble matches that "I did storm the Capitol" and "made it all the way into Statuary Hall," and was interviewed by the media. The other Bumble user replied, "we are not a match."
