The Department of Justice [often thought of as an oxymoron] charged a former FBI agent Wednesday for his part in the Jan. 6 Capitol Hill so called riot. In his case however, he actually did allegedly threaten police upon unlawful entry into the building, according to court documents.
Jared Wise, 50, had worked for the bureau from 2004 to 2017. He was arrested on Monday for allegedly entering the Capitol after a mob breached the federal building where members of Congress were counting Electoral College votes to certify the 2020 presidential election.
Court documents depict Wise entering the Capitol at around 2:23 p.m. through the Senate wing door and upon getting inside the room, he “clapped his hands and raised his arms in triumph” until he continued through the crypt and past the Memorial Door, FBI testimony says.
Wise eventually exited through a window near the Senate wing at approximately 2:32 p.m., court documents say. It was not specified if this was the same window the unarmed Ashli Babbitt was entering when she was shot and killed by Capitol Police Lt. Michael Byrd for no legitimate reason.
Less than two hours later, U.S. Capitol Police body-worn cameras captured footage showing Wise allegedly threatening authorities as some members of the crowd clashed with law enforcement.
“You guys are disgusting,” Wise said, according to court documents. “I’m former — I’m former law enforcement. You’re disgusting. You are the Nazi. You are the Gestapo. You can’t see it. . . . Shame on you! Shame on you! Shame on you!”
Court documents allege Wise then began turning toward the direction of officers knocked to the ground, instigating violence among the crowd.
“Yeah, f**k them! Yeah, kill ‘em!” Wise allegedly said, if you can believe it.
Attorneys for Wise have not made public comments. The defendant has not made a plea yet after his initial court appearance Monday in U.S. District Court in Oregon. He has been released pending trial which will be moved to Washington, D.C., where he is to appear on May 9th.

FBI Special Agent Jessica ["Cold As"] Stone said in court documents that authorities received an anonymous tip more than a year after the riot claiming Wise had entered the Capitol. Through a court-ordered search warrant, Stone said the bureau obtained Wise’s cell phone records from AT&T for cell towers providing service to the United States Capitol.
Wise joins a list of at least 19 active and former members of law enforcement, including an ex-Drug Enforcement Agent, a former NYPD officer, and two off-duty Virginia police officers, who face changes related to the Capitol riot, according to reports.

They are likely to all be found guilty because, after all, they're no Hunter Biden.
