FBI: Capitol rioters claim officer told them 'it's your house now'

[BUtterfield 8 41,818]

Two men arrested in connection to the Capitol riot last week claim that an officer shook their hands after they entered the building and told them "it's your house now," according to the FBI.

Robert Bauer and his cousin Edward Hemenway admitted to agents that they were among the scores of people who entered the building on Jan. 6, according to a complaint filed Thursday.

Bauer, who is from Kentucky, told agents that he traveled with his wife to Washington, D.C., for the pro-Trump rally that day and they stayed with Hemenway in Virginia for part of the trip.

All three reportedly attended the rally on Jan. 6 and joined the crowd in marching toward the Capitol after President Trump told supporters they would go to the building, the complaint states.

Bauer and Hemenway each told investigators that after the men entered the Capitol, an officer shook their hands and said “it’s your house now,” according to the complaint.

Bauer said he believed the officer "was acting out of fear," the document states. The complaint does not identify the reported officer.

Capitol Police did not immediately respond to a request for comment from The Hill.

Not surprising considering there’s footage of officers moving the barricades for those terrorists to get into the building.

Time to do a total re-haul of our policing in this country. Too many white supremacists and sympathizing infiltrations as per FBI.
