Federal prosecutors said he had gotten the Obamas\u2019 address from a Truth Social posting by former President Donald Trump, <a href=\"https:\/\/apnews.com\/article\/jan-6-obama-justice-department-capitol-mccarthy-27934bbd095111e7eb2bac5b5bb24e06\" target=\"_blank\">the Associated Press reported<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Officials later discovered Taranto\u2019s van, parked several blocks away from the Obama household, filled with rifles and more than 400 rounds of ammunition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Taranto enlisted in the Navy in August 2004, according to his personnel records. He specialized in information warfare before pivoting to naval construction midway through his five-year stint in the sea service. He spent the final years of his service as a member of Naval Mobile Construction Battalion 3 out of Port Hueneme, California, achieving the rank of E-5 in 2009.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Taranto left the military the following year. Navy officials declined to specify the status of his discharge, citing the Privacy Act. His medals and decorations include a Combat Action Ribbon \u2014 accorded to service members who\u2019ve actively participated in ground or surface combat \u2014 and an Iraq Campaign Medal, awarded to personnel who served in the Iraq War, according to the Navy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">More than a decade after returning to civilian life, Taranto battled the government for which he once fought. Federal prosecutors claim Taranto joined the mobs marauding through the Capitol\u2019s halls on Jan. 6. Online sleuths first <a href=\"https:\/\/www.huffpost.com\/entry\/sedition-hunters-capitol-attack-jeff-smith-trump-riot_n_6117e45fe4b01da700f646dd\" target=\"_blank\">pieced together Taranto\u2019s participation<\/a> in the breach of the Capitol in 2021.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">On Thursday, federal authorities detained the 37-year-old Seattle native on four misdemeanor charges, part of an <a href=\"https:\/\/www.militarytimes.com\/news\/your-military\/2023\/06\/30\/man-wanted-on-jan-6-charges-arrested-with-weapons-near-obama-dc-home\/\" target=\"_blank\">open warrant against him<\/a> relating to the Jan. 6 Capitol insurrection, according to the Associated Press.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But the FBI, which had already been monitoring Taranto\u2019s online activities because of his involvement in the riot, began searching for him last Wednesday after he asserted on his YouTube livestream that he was in Gaithersburg, Maryland, on a \u201cone-way mission,\u201d according to the AP. He said he intended to blow up the National Institute of Standards and Technology, according to the Justice Department motion seeking to keep him behind bars and cited by the AP.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The following day, he continued his livestream from the Washington neighborhood where Obama lives \u2014 an area heavily monitored by the U.S. Secret Service \u2014 and said that he was looking for \u201centrance points\u201d and wanted to get a \u201cgood angle on a shot,\u201d according to the detention memo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Erin Smith, the widow of a Capitol police officer who died by suicide after defending the building that day, sued Taranto and another man for causing an injury that she says ultimately led to her husband\u2019s decision to take his own life. Taranto attended his co-defendant\u2019s criminal sentencing hearing in D.C. in June, according to court documents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Later in the month, Taranto <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nbcnews.com\/politics\/justice-department\/jan-6-defendant-arrested-obamas-home-guns-400-rounds-ammunition-van-rcna92094\" target=\"_blank\">saw a TruthSocial message<\/a> from former President Donald Trump that contained screenshots featuring a purported address for the Obamas\u2019 home in Washington, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nbcnews.com\/politics\/justice-department\/jan-6-defendant-arrested-obamas-home-guns-400-rounds-ammunition-van-rcna92094\" target=\"_blank\">NBC News reported<\/a>. Hours before his arrest, Taranto reposted the Trump\u2019s message on the Telegram messaging app, adding \u201cWe got these losers surrounded! See you in hell, Podesta\u2019s and Obama\u2019s,\u201d <a href=\"https:\/\/apnews.com\/article\/jan-6-obama-justice-department-capitol-mccarthy-27934bbd095111e7eb2bac5b5bb24e06\" target=\"_blank\">the Associated Press reported<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">John Podesta served as counselor to President Barack Obama, chaired Hillary Clinton\u2019s campaign for president in 2016, and served as President Bill Clinton\u2019s chief of staff. Podesta is also the chief villain of the \u201cPizzagate\u201d conspiracy theory, a foundational myth of the QAnon movement that spuriously accused high-ranking members of the Democratic Party (including Podesta) of abusing children in the basement of a basement-less D.C. pizza shop.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Federal authorities arrested Taylor Taranto, an Iraq
