A Motion for Emergency Stay and For Review and Revocation of Release Order was filed today in the case against Capitol Insurrectionist John Wade Whitton, Jr.
I wrote about this psychopath Saturday… He was one of 5 rioters indicted for assaulting police officers on the West Terrace steps of the U.S. Capitol on January 6th.

Prosecutors said the FBI received a tip identifying “Scallops” as Jack Wade Whitton from a confidential source on Jan. 17, and at some later an FBI task force officer interviewed the tipster, who said they knew Whitton from high school and had attended the same CrossFit gym as Whitton and his girlfriend. The confidential source provided the FBI with a copy of a text message that Whitton allegedly sent to a mutual acquaintance.
“This is from a bad cop,” the message said, showing an image of a bloody hand. “Yea I fed him to the people. Idk his status. And don’t care tbh.”

“The defendant assaulted an officer with a weapon — a crutch — and while doing so, kicked another officer who had been forced to the ground by a separate rioter. The defendant then dragged the officer he assaulted with a crutch into the mob, pulling him by the head, in a prone position, down a flight of steps. The evidence shows that the defendant is a danger to the community,” prosecutors wrote.
The FBI continues to seek the public’s assistance in identifying individuals who participated in unlawful conduct during the Capitol Insurrection.
