File this under \u201cwhat the hell?\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

The FBI seized a man\u2019s lego set of the U.S. Capitol building after declaring him to be a leading \u2018rioter\u2019 during the January 6th incident.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Court records<\/a>\u00a0note that federal prosecutors are accusing 27-year-old Robert Morss of directing other \u2018rioters\u2019 in \u201cone of the most intense and prolonged clashes\u201d with Capitol Police around the building that day.<\/p>\n

Former Army Ranger Morss, like many others arrested since January 6th, has been languishing in prison, and faces 9 counts of inciting violence.<\/p>\n

The documents note \u201cDuring his arrest, law enforcement recovered some clothing and other items that appear to match those he carried with him on the 6th \u2013 including a \u201cDon\u2019t Tread on Me\u201d flag, a neck gaiter, a military utility bag, a black tourniquet, and military fatigues. (Law enforcement also recoverd a fully constructed U.S. Capitol Lego set.)\u201d<\/p>\n

The horror.<\/p>\n

The Hill<\/em>\u00a0notes<\/a>\u00a0that \u201cIt\u2019s unclear why Morss had the Lego set.\u201d<\/p>\n
