Richard Michetti’s ex gave the FBI a series of texts that led to his arrest, including a 4:26 p.m. message that read, “If you can’t see the election was stolen, you’re a moron.” At around 6:04 p.m., he sent a series of text messages to his ex. One said: “I understand your point but what I’m saying is [ex’s name] the election was rigged and everyone knows it. All’s we wanted was an investigation that’s it. And they couldn’t investigate the biggest presidential race in history with mail in ballots who everyone knows is easy to fraud.”
“This is our country do you think we live like kings because no one sacrificed anything?” Michetti said in texts to his ex, who does not want to be identified. “The vote was fraud and trump won but they won’t audit the votes. We are patriots we are not revolutionaries the other side is revolutionaries they want to destroy this country and they say it openly.” Clearly his little insult plus his texts triggered his ex so she decided to give the feds a helpful tip.
He was eventually charged with entering or remaining in restricted building or grounds, violent entry and disorderly conduct on Capitol grounds, obstruction of justice as well as a charge making him punishable as a principal.
The Ridley Park, Pennsylvania, man appeared in federal court in Philadelphia on Tuesday and was placed under house arrest until trial.
