The federal government wants an army reserve and security contractor at the Naval Weapons Station Earle in New Jersey to be held behind bars for his role in the Capitol riot because of his history as a Nazi sympathizer, including a Hitler mustache and his support civil war, according to court documents.
Timothy Hale-Cusanelli had a ‘secret’ security clearance for his work at the Colts Neck Navy base, but he disclosed his political tendencies to associates.
According to court documents, Hale-Cusanelli regularly made anti-Semitic jokes and comments against colleagues. One Naval petty officer told Naval Criminal Investigative Service investigators that he was constantly talking about Jewish people and recalled saying, “Hitler should have done the job.”
Another navy colleague recalls that Hale-Cusanelli said that ‘Jews, women and blacks were at the bottom of the totem pole. ‘According to a labor supervisor, Hale-Cusanelli was reprimanded for wearing a “Hitler mustache” to work, according to court documents filed Friday.
Investigators found several photos of Hale-Cusanelli with the distinctive ‘stache’ on his phone, which they filed Friday in the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia.
“However, the accused’s affiliation with Hitler and the Nazi party went much further than facial hair,” the court documents said, providing several other photos from his phone depicting hostility towards Jews. One image is a cartoon depicting the Nazi party as the savior of white Americans from the Republic (sic) and Democratic parties, ‘read the court documents. Other images have shown enmity towards black people, including George Floyd, whose murder was staged worldwide by Minneapolis police officers last summer.
The government acknowledged in the documentation that Hale-Cusanelli’s political leanings were not enough to keep him in custody. In the court documents, however, it is said that statements he made to investigators make it clear that his ideology is the driving force behind his outspoken desire for a civil war. Since the defendant’s desire for a civil war makes him a danger to the community, the court can and must consider the accused’s ideology within the context of his danger. ‘
The rivals also accuse Hale-Cusanelli (who is facing charges on charges of his role in the January 6 attack on the Capitol, although this includes acts of violence) of trying to destroy evidence in the case. He is accused of deleting his Facebook, Instagram and Twitter accounts, all of which he used to share photos and videos of the uprising, before being arrested.
He also deleted videos posted on his “Based Hermes Show” on YouTube, hid the suit and tie he was wearing during the raid, and NCIS investigators said he intended to destroy other evidence so he was not arrested with it. filing said.
Hale-Cusanelli also submitted a letter of support from a colleague claiming that he was ‘slandered in the press’ because he was called a ‘white supremacist’, but that the colleague had never heard distasteful jokes or language. But the same colleague, ao. John Getz, told the opposite story when talking to NCIS investigators, court documents said. Getz made no attempt to reconcile the opposing depictions.
Hale-Cusanelli was arrested on January 15. NCIS investigators interviewed 44 colleagues on January 20 and 21, and 34 agreed that Hale-Cusanelli had openly expressed pro-Nazi views.
