MSNBC footage and Capitol surveillance showed Dressel inside the Capitol on Jan. 6.
There is no evidence he acted violently. He said in a Facebook message he “was trying to stop the crazy s*** and calm things down.”
Please keep in mind that in the United States, every citizen charged with a crime is presumed innocent until proven guilty.
