A former Navy Seal says he is cooperating with federal investigators after appearing to admit on video to breaching the Capitol in an attempt to send a message and spark a "positive revolution".

While the video posted to the Facebook page of Adam Newbold has since been removed, a copy was published by ABC News as part of a wide-ranging interview with the 45-year-old from Lisbon, Ohio.

"There was destruction, breaching the Capitol, our building, our house. And, um, to get in you had to destroy doors and windows to get in," Mr Newbold says in the video.

"What did get destroyed, and they're obviously trying to overcome now, again maybe they just didn't get the message, unfortunately, I'm hoping the message was strong enough. Unfortunately, maybe it wasn't. I hate to see this escalate more."

Mr Newbold did not immediately respond to The Independent’s request for comment, but told ABC that his actions went "too far" and he was now cooperating with the Federal Bureau of Investigations (FBI).

"I would like to express to you just a cry for clemency, as you understand that my life now has been absolutely turned upside-down," Mr Newbold said. "I am not a terrorist. I am not a traitor."

"It accomplished nothing. What the hell was it all for?"

In the video recorded following the incursion into the Capitol, Mr Newbold said it was for a "positive revolution".

"There are stories to tell from generations upon generations, um, that hopefully, uh... that hopefully, it pans out to be a positive revolution," he said in the 6 January video, according to ABC. "HOOYAH!"

"I will tell you that some of your friends, your brothers, your members here, and patriots, were on the very, very front lines of that… No matter how the media spins it, guys, it was a necessary thing."

traitors to this country now copping all sorts of pleas...nobody wants to hear it

...they can.

...again, the "law enforcement" arm of the federal government falls under the president's purview.
...Not all that much of a surprise, considering who and what we're dealing with in this madness, that this whole debacle happened under the Donald's unwatchful eye. His ignorant orange a$$ left the gate open just as sure as any of those officers did...

...and as soon as Uncle Joe gets sworn in next week...
...I'm betting they will.

the incompetence leading up the act of treason and terror was so astounding, that I can only believe that people within the department were complicit...that they aided and abetted

Will the D.C. Attorney General charge Trump, Trump Jr., and Giuliani with treason? Let a grand jury decide if they should be indicted. Inciting violence against a branch of the federal government should definitely meet the threshold for treason, imo.

I'm not a terrorist. I was just trying to scare them into changing their political process.

Yep, they can get all of that info. @Nook can tell you all about it.

There's a reason why professional crooks use burner phones. And don't post videos of their hijinks on social media. Ok their detailed plans before committing the crime.

It's like a 1960s Batman TV Show criminal.

Just make sure the right wingers don't have access to important locations through the D.C. sewer system.

Well during the the storming of the Capitol building you had trump and Rudy calling up senators trying to over turn the elections. Had Trump tweeting about it is the left’s fault that that this was happening and the election was stolen. Other than that we have no clue what trump’s intent was

I’ve been saying this for awhile. What we’ve seen coming out of Trump and his supporters is really the parent at youth sport. Their kid loses and the parent flips out that the refs, league, and coaches are unfair to their child and there is no way their child can lose because they are so special. We’ve seen parents attack refs, coaches, other parents and even other children because they can’t accept that their kid lost.

This is that writ large and magnified..

Nice comparison you hit that right on the head.

For those who are still clinging to the idea that the 'Shaman' was just a failed actor playing a bit and probably an Antifa plant. Also for those who still want to argue that Trump had nothing to do with this.

‘He has an obligation to them’: Attorney for ‘QAnon shaman’ asks Trump to pardon rioters
Jacob Chansley, a 33-year-old man from Phoenix, was one of the most recognizable perpetrators of the Capitol siege.

In an interview on CNN, attorney Albert Watkins said his client, Jacob Chansley, “felt like he was answering the call of our president” when he stormed the nation’s seat of government last Wednesday during a riot that resulted in the deaths of at least five people.

Chansley, a 33-year-old man from Phoenix also known as Jake Angeli, was one of the most recognizable perpetrators of the Capitol siege. He carried a spear, wore a furry horned headdress and painted his face in shades of red, white and blue.

indicted by federal prosecutors in connection with the violence at the Capitol. He was charged with a felony violation of the Federal Anti-Riot Act, as well as obstruction of Congress and other offenses.

In a filing on Thursday, prosecutors said Chansley was as “an active participant in” and “the most prominent symbol of” what they described as a “violent insurrection.” Prosecutors also said Chansley had expressed his intention of returning to Washington, D.C., for President-elect Joe Biden’s inauguration next week.

The language in the filing suggests more severe charges, such as sedition or insurrection, could be coming for those involved in the siege.

Watkins, Chansley’s attorney, said on Thursday that his client, “like a lot of other disenfranchised people in our country, felt very, very, very solidly in sync” with the president — suggesting Chansley was incited to storm the Capitol in Trump’s name.

“He felt like his voice was, for the first time, being heard,” Watkins said. “And what ended up happening, over the course of the lead-up to the election, over the course of the period from the election to Jan. 6 — it was a driving force by a man he hung his hat on, he hitched his wagon to. He loved Trump. Every word, he listens to him.”

Prior to the Capitol siege, the president, his family members and his political allies riled up his supporters at a rally on the White House Ellipse. When it was his turn to speak, Trump urged those in attendance to march on the Capitol amid Congress’ certification of Biden’s Electoral College victory.

“We all have to understand that the words that were spoken by the president meant something, not just to my client. They meant something to a lot of people,” Watkins said in his interview.

“They listened to those words. And those words meant something to them. And they had a right to rely on the words of their president that was strewed forth worldwide,” he said. “And they did. And now they’re turning around [and] they’re getting arrested, as well many should be.”

Nevertheless, Trump “needs to stand up and own these people,” Watkins argued. “He has an obligation to them. He has an obligation to our nation. It’s not going to happen.”

Pressed by host Chris Cuomo on what exactly he would like Trump to do, Watkins replied: “Oh, give a pardon.”

As Chansley’s attorney, “my role is not to judge somebody. My role is to be an advocate,” Watkins said. “If there’s one iota of a chance that the guy who’s the president of our country — who invited everybody down Pennsylvania [Avenue] — will give my client a pardon, you know what? I’m going to do it.”

Watkins acknowledged, however, that his plea was unlikely to succeed. “Am I holding my breath thinking that Donald Trump is going to be sitting around going, ‘You know what? … What’s the name of that guy with the horns? Yeah … let’s give him a pardon.’”

But “with Trump, you never know,” Watkins said. “He may say, ‘I want the guy with the horns.’ Next thing you know, maybe he’s represented by the shaman instead of Rudy Giuliani.”

Watkins went on to compare the president’s supporters who stormed the Capitol to the Jonestown cult members who committed mass suicide at their settlement in Guyana in 1978: “You know the only thing different here? There’s no Kool-Aid.”

I don't think this guy was Antifa and I don't think that Trump had nothing to do with this but come on man its his attorney of course he is going this route he even admits what he is doing.

Are we now gonna listen to Rudy or Wood?
