Revealed: Meet The Trump Fanatic Who Used A Stun Gun On A Cop At The Capitol Insurrection

Huff Post  

The man in the red “MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN” hat seemed to think he was untouchable. But it wasn’t until hours after a HuffPost inquiry to the bureau for this story that the tipster heard from an FBI special agent with questions specifically about a man named “Danny Rodriguez.” The lack of public law enforcement action against Rodriguez thus far illustrates the tensions that can arise when the FBI relies on online sleuths to help them identify the hundreds of suspects in their unprecedented investigation into the Capitol attacks. Rodriguez and Bisignano took photos in D.C. with a man who Los Angeles activists say also frequented Beverly Hills Trump rallies and went by the name “Trump Ed” online. please don’t ask or talk about anything that you don’t want the fbi knowing,” the user “Dj Rodriguez” — whose profile features a selfie that appears to show Rodriguez wearing his glasses, MAGA hat and pins — wrote in a small pro-Trump Telegram channel in the days after the attack. An abandoned Twitter account — which has the username “DJ Rodriguez” and the handle “DanielR,” followed by Rodriguez’s birthdate — displays a stream of content lionizing Trump, promoting far-right conspiracy theories and disparaging antifa.
