Federal authorities have obtained an arrest warrant for a Harrisburg woman they suspect may have stolen House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s laptop during the Jan. 6 Capitol siege with the intent of selling the device to Russia’s foreign intelligence services.



In an affidavit filed late Sunday evening, agents said they were contacted by the former romantic partner of Riley June Williams, 22, who recognized her in footage shot during the insurrectionist attack by the British network ITV.



Williams’ ex also reported having seen another video showing Williams pocketing the computer from Pelosi’s office and told investigators that Williams had said she intended to send it to a friend in Russia who would arrange the transfer to the SVR, the Russian equivalent of the CIA.

That deal fell through, Williams’ former partner told FBI agents according to the affidavit, and the laptop remains in her possession

But by the time investigators tracked Williams down to the apartment she shares with her mother in Harrisburg on Saturday, she had already fled, the affidavit states.

Williams’ mother told agents that the day before an ITV news crew showed up at her door looking for her daughter. In a segment that aired on the network Sunday, she confirmed for reporters that her daughter was the woman seen in earlier footage of the Capitol attack, directing other insurrectionists inside the Capitol rotunda toward a staircase lading to Pelosi’s office.

Dressed in a green T-shirt, glasses and a brown coat with a zebra print bag slung over her shoulder, the woman agents identified as Williams can be seen shouting “Up the stairs! Go!” repeatedly as she pushes rioters onward.

But as people began to identify her on social media, Williams fled without saying where she was going, her mother told ITV.

“She’s actually gone,” she said. “She took off not only because of that [video]. She figures if it’s out there, they’ll [the FBI] come to her about it.”

Williams’ mother described her daughter as a very “empathetic and loving person” who had taken a sudden interest in President Donald Trump’s politics and far-right message boards in recent months.

Still, her mother insisted, Williams rarely talked about her politics. “It’s all about wanting America to get the correct information,” she said.

According to the FBI affidavit, Williams drove to Washington on Jan. 6 with her father, a Camp Hill resident, to attend the “Stop the Steal” rally but split up during the day. They reunited after police had cleared the Capitol that evening and drove back to Harrisburg the same day.

Williams’ alleged role in the theft of Pelosi’s laptop remains under investigation. At the moment, she is charged only with unlawfully entering Capitol grounds and disorderly conduct.

However, Pelosi’s chief of staff, Drew Hammill, confirmed on Twitter in the days after the attack that a laptop, primarily used for presentations, had been stolen from a conference room in the House speaker’s office.

Online sleuths had also identified Williams as an employee of Harrisburg-based Keystone Human Services, a home assistance network to support the disabled. The company responded with a statement late Sunday that did not identify Williams by name.

“We are aware that a Keystone employee has been identified as participating in the events of Jan. 6 at the U.S. Capitol,” it said. “We are coordinating with law enforcement and taking appropriate action in response.”

Shes kinda girl next door cute....

You need new neighbors

Maybe it's just me, but she looks....she looks more like she would belong at a BLM protest crying about white privilege or some shit.

You must be pretty hard up, fella.

Skeptical about the whole Russian intelligence sale. I dunno what to believe any more.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^THIS^^^^^^^^^^^^

This

Yeah, I’m gonna call BS on that one

Sounds like the plot to Burn After Reading

I'm not your fella "Pal!"

And I said kinda... Not.... i want to have children with her.

Any reports on her background yet?

I find it annoying that all of the media outlets are calling this an insurrection when they were supportive of the democrats storming the capital during the Kavanaugh hearings.

So she's part of the special forces unit that infiltrated the Capitol and where seen 'egressing' the area with heavy backpacks against the crowd?

Nailed it.

I just read in another thread that a GA guy had the laptop and suicided himself.

Nose ring.  She's a freak in bed.

Wood.

Maybe they are more trusted than our own Fan Belt Inspectors?  

No one seems to be trustworthy to do the Right thing for citizens on the Right lately.  Havent you noticed.  

If you had information that would save our Republic who would you give it to?  I dont know the answer to that myself after seeing all the bullshit that happened in the past year.

She's a West Virginia 8, and a two bagger in every other state.

Sell to the Russians? That sounds like a media spin. I’d think that more a blm or antifa move. Perhaps she is. Who knows.

this

Those are the laptops that were intended to be stolen.

Fake news to cover up the Special Forces guys all dressed in black that actually took it.

So where is the laptop now?  ??

I am unconvinced.

She looks like a  weather underground member from the 60's to me.

this ENTIRE story smells like bullshit.  I'm not sure exactly what is off, just that something is

"Williams’ mother described her daughter as a very “empathetic and loving person” who had taken a sudden interest in President Donald Trump’s politics and far-right message boards in recent months.

Still, her mother insisted, Williams rarely talked about her politics. “It’s all about wanting America to get the correct information,” she said."

It was when I read she wanted to sell it to russia, that I immediately knew she's either (A) innocent, or (B) on the democrat payroll.

This. I don't think they wanted to over throw the government or kill anybody. They just wanted to let congress know they were pissed off at the election theft.

+1

Sounds a bit contrived to me. Give it a minute and the autists will find her "peacefully protesting" with the anarchists.

Its a cover story in progress.

When she dies / vanishes / commits suicide, the pesky Ruskies can be blamed.

Don't feel bad. There is potential. Nothing $20k and a trip to Dr Miami for plastic surgery wouldn't fix. She arguably looks better than pre-plastic surgery Tomi Lahren and GD goes nuts for her

Well, i'm not one to be painting with a broad brush.  But look at her employer and what she did for a living.  Thats the sort of job that usually belongs to people on the blue side.

"the capitol ATTACK "....my fucking word !

First post did not nail it, but poster wood.

"Trump supporter selling it to Russia".......uh huh.............

Wait a minute... I thought a special forces team infiltrated the siege to recover the laptop for intel  Lin wood said it so

Those pesky Trump supporters...

I with you.  I just can't put my finger on it.  

It could be that a lesbian in her early 20's suddenly started to like Trump, or it could be that she looks like the type of person who would look MUCH more at home at an antifa rally, or it could be that even though she's supposed to be a patriot, she tried to sell Pelosi's laptop to the Russians...

dressed as your typical girl next door, and they would have gotten away with it if it wasnt for those meddling Ruskies!

So... she contacted her ex and told him that she had stolen the laptop and was planning to sell it to the Russians? Seems a little too convenient IMO.

Either way, she had more balls than any of you mocking her. She took the queens laptop.

I think the fact that they use the word "partner" may be a clue...
