What happened
In the days before the riot, Walden sent a message to Joshua James, one of a group of Oath Keepers named in an ongoing series of indictments, expressing his interest in joining the quick reaction force, which would be staged to bring guns to the Capitol if necessary, the FBI has stated in documents. Walden states: “I am interested in the QRF team in D.C. I am a former Firefighter, EMT-B and have a K-9 trained for security patrol (82 ib. German Shepherd named “Warrior”) I have a Jump Bag with Trauma supplies and have ALL the necessary 2A gear that the situation may require. PLEASE ADVISE. As soon as I hear from you I can hit the road and join up! " Department of Justice officials said Walden and others rode up in golf carts, and aggressively berated and taunted law enforcement officers in riot gear guarding the perimeter of the building. Walden, James and 14 others are charged with conspiracy.

What happened
Southard-Rumsey, who sang at Carnegie Hall in 2013 according to her Facebook page, featured prominently in an early video taken inside the Capitol during the riot, as she confronted police officers and screamed expletives. The FBI stated in federal charging documents that they received the first tip about her on Jan. 11. She had posted on social media that she was going to D.C., saying "We The People are making a declaration ... 1776!!" She traveled with three other people, staying in a rented condo in Williamsburg, one of the travelers told the FBI in an interview. The witness said they weren't able to get close to the area where Pres. Donald Trump was speaking so they walked toward the Capitol. The FBI said the witness said they were separated from Southard-Rumsey and then later found her sitting on the steps on the east side of the Capitol building crying and saying she had gone into the buliding.
In videos taken inside the Capitol, she is seen entering the rotunda at about 2:26 p.m., about six minutes after members of the House and Senate and Vice President Mike Pence were evacuated, court documents state. She is then shown on video moving through Statuary Hall. Then, the FBI stated, she encountered a Capitol Police officer, "Sgt. N.V." and began yelling, including the following statements: "Tell Pelosi we are coming for that bitch." "There's a hundred thousand of us, what's it going to be?" "Last friend, last bullet. What's it going to be." Charging documents state she then pushed the sergeant, who in an eventual interview with the FBI, identified Southard-Rumsey as one of two main agitators in the group that approached him. The sergeant told the FBI Southard-Rumsey also obtained a flag pole, which she used to push against him to back him up against a set of doors, which opened and he fell into a statue and struck his head on the base.
In her home state of Florida, she was familiar to an officer in the FBI's Tampa Field office, after multiple interactions at previous local protests.

What happened
McGrew's identity was confirmed by the FBI because video footage inside the Capitol caught him raising his shirt to wipe his face and exposing a large "King James" tattoo on his belly that had previously been documented in booking photos in 2012. Federal charging documents state he yelled aggressively at law enforcement officers, stating "we're coming in here, whether you like it or not" and "fight with us, not against us." The FBI stated he can be seen on camera lunging forward and striking a law enforcement officer as officers tried to clear the rotunda.
At one point, the FBI said, an officer told McGrew calmly: "Just leave, just leave man, come on," which McGrew responded to by screaming: "You leave. You leave. This is our house." Then, documents state, he struck another law enforcement officer and lunged for the officers baton. The FBI received a tip about his identity the very next day. Although he was arrested in Arizona, it isn't clear where McGrew lives or where the 2012 booking photos were taken.
