BREAKING: Robert Gieswein of Colorado was picked up per @SeamusHughes. Individual holding a bat next to #SPAZZO.

Identified by several, but all refrained from naming him until the Affidavit was unsealed.

Militia connections, both to Nat'l groups & v. small local ones.

Gieswein's social media was shot through with guns & militia pics. He wore the Woodland Wild Dogs patch to the #CapitolBuilding, as @arawnsley notes, which made identification easy.
