.MaddowBlog: Former President Trump said the Jan. 6 rioters posed 'zero threat.' Sen. Johnson said they weren't really 'armed.' Reality tells a different story.
An Indiana man charged with carrying a loaded firearm to the Capitol on Jan. 6 told investigators that if he had found Speaker Nancy Pelosi, "you'd be here for another reason," according to court documents posted over the weekend.... In this case, [Mark Mazza] allegedly carried a Taurus revolver known as "The Judge," which is capable of firing shotgun shells — two of which were in the chamber, along with three hollow-point bullets.
In fact, the accused seems to have been quite forthcoming about his intentions. When Capitol Police investigators visited Mazza at his home in March, he not only acknowledged his attendance on Jan. 6, he also said he intended to have a confrontation with Nancy Pelosi. As Rachel emphasized on last night's show, the accused didn't say this in some encrypted forum that law enforcement just gained access to — this guy apparently said it out loud to investigators who showed up at his house.
