Feds: Rioter Plotted Attack With US Capitol Lego Set

The New York Post reports:

The FBI is building its case against an alleged leader of the Jan. 6 Capitol riot one Lego brick at a time. Investigators seized a “fully constructed US Capitol Lego set” from Robert Morss, 27, along with a notebook containing instructions on how to create a “hometown militia,” court records published by The Smoking Gun revealed.

The suspect allegedly led rioters in “one of the most intense and prolonged clashes” against law enforcement officials trying to contain throngs of rioters, according to the outlet. Morss’ militia to-do list included preparations like “Ambush” and “Battle Drills,” according to documents published in the report.
