Fact check: Pelosi's conference room laptop was not taken by Special Forces during Capitol riot

The claim: Special Forces took House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's laptop during riot at the U.S. Capitol

On Jan. 6, supporters of President Donald Trump stormed the U.S. Capitol in an attack that forced lawmakers to flee their chambers and left five dead. The riot took place as Congress met to count electoral votes and confirm President-elect Joe Biden's victory.

During the attack, a laptop was stolen from the office of Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi, according to her aide, Drew Hammill. He noted on Twitter on Jan. 8 that the laptop was "from a conference room" and was "only used for presentations."

 

Users online claimed that her laptop was actually taken by military Special Forces.

Retired Air Force Lt. Gen. Thomas McInerney included the statement in a monologue first shared on YouTube by Steel Truth with Ann Vandersteel.

He asserted that the riot had been carried out by antifa and that panic over the laptop prompted Democrats to push to impeach Trump.

"They're trying to get him out on the 25th Amendment or to impeach him. Why? Because on Wednesday, they took Pelosi's laptop. She's frantic," McInerney said. "There were some people in there that were Special Forces, mixed with antifa, and they took her laptop and they had that data."

Clips of McInerney were posted to Facebook by pages such as PR Conservative and Confederate Riders of America and shared on sites such as We Love Trump and InfoWars.

McInerney could not be reached by USA TODAY for comment. Vandersteel, PR Conservative, Confederate Riders of America, We Love Trump and InfoWars have not responded to requests from USA TODAY for comment.

Special Forces were not involved in laptop theft, per spokespeople

Special Forces were not involved in the theft of the laptop from Pelosi.

Ken McGraw, a public affairs officer for U.S. Special Operations Command, told USA TODAY on Wednesday that it was not responsible for the stolen laptop.

"We have not received any reports or information that anyone in Special Forces or any other Special Operations Forces units entered the U.S. Capitol on 6 January and stole Speaker Pelosi or any other congressional members’ laptops during the riot," he wrote.

Elise Van Pool, a deputy public affairs officer for the U.S. Army Special Operations Command, told USA TODAY on Wednesday that the command had not received any reports about the alleged incident.

"Neither have we received any reports or information alleging the existence of a Special Forces or Special Operations Forces plan ‘to expose wrongdoing by members of Congress,’” she wrote.

U.S. Special Operations Command and U.S. Army Special Operations Command confirmed to Agence France-Presse that they were not involved in the laptop theft.

It's also untrue that the riot was carried out by antifa.

The FBI's Washington Field Office and Washington’s Metropolitan Police Department confirmed to AFP on Monday that there is “no credible intelligence” or "information to suggest" that anti-fascist activists were involved in the insurrection at the Capitol.

McInerney and misinformation

McInerney, who retired from the Air Force in 1994, has a history of false and controversial statements.

Last year, he claimed that the U.S. Army seized election-related servers in Germany – an allegation that U.S. Army Special Operations Command and U.S. Army Public Affairs repeatedly said is false, according to USA TODAY.

In 2018, Fox News announced that it would no longer book McInerney as a guest after he claimed that torture had “worked on” Sen. John McCain, who endured five years as a prisoner of war in North Vietnam, according to the Arizona Republic.

In 2010, he questioned whether President Barack Obama’s birth records were authentic, per Media Matters. In response to conspiracy theories that Obama wasn't born in the USA, his campaign posted his birth certificate online in 2008.

Our rating: False

Based on our research, the claim that Special Forces took Pelosi's laptop during the riot at the U.S. Capitol is rated FALSE. Spokespeople for U.S. Special Operations Command and U.S. Army Special Operations Command confirmed that their troops were not involved.

You know I love you Brother, but I must admit that you intentionally choose to be intellectually dishonest and inept. Not an insult just an observation. 

 

And I dig you too, bro....It just seems with every passing day, more and more of Donald's allies fall by the wayside, having come to the inevitable conclusion they hitched thier wagon to a grifter who's finally fallen from grace due to his own words and deeds.  History will not be kind to him.  Of course, this is simply my opinion.

Feds arrest Capitol rioter who allegedly broke into Pelosi's office, stole laptop, wanted to sell it to Russia

A woman who participated in the Jan. 6 siege of the U.S. Capitol surrendered to authorities in Pennsylvania on Monday night, the Justice Department said. Riley Williams, 22, was charged with illegally entering the Capitol, violent entry, and disorderly conduct, but the FBI said it is also investigating a tip from the suspect's former "romantic partner" that Williams broke into House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's office during the siege, stole a laptop, and "intended to send the computer device to a friend in Russia, who then planned to sell the device to SVR, Russia's foreign intelligence service."

 

The transfer of the laptop to Russian intelligence "fell through for unknown reasons," the former partner, identified only as Witness 1, told the FBI, "and Williams still has the computer device or destroyed it." Williams was captured on video urging fellow rioters to go upstairs in the Capitol, toward Pelosi's office, the FBI said. Pelosi's deputy chief of staff, Drew Hammill, confirmed after the siege that "a laptop from a conference room was stolen," but said "it was a laptop that was only used for presentations."

Williams lived with her mother, who identified her as the woman in an ITV video of the Capitol raid, the FBI said. The mother also told authorities that her daughter had taken a sudden interest in President Trump's politics and "far-right message boards." Williams had traveled to the pre-riot protest with her father, but he said they were separated before the Capitol siege, the FBI said, and after they returned to Pennsylvania, Williams deleted her social media accounts, changed her phone number, and fled.
