Prior to the insurrection, Facebook Messenger records show Fiol sent screenshots of multiple Amazon shopping orders to someone accompanied by text that reads “Gearing up to go help save western civilization as we know it.” The orders show items like American flag pants, gloves, goggles and what appears to be an American flag.

One of the Facebook Messenger conversations shows Fiol sent someone a video of someone filming from inside the Capitol and the person questioned Fiol, asking “Hey buddy. How you doing? It’s uh… what’s going on in Texas, or what is this?” Fiol responded saying “The friend then said “Oh okay. I see. It’s people f***in’ responding to Trump’s b******t.”

According to the arrest warrant, cell phone data showed Fiol’s phone pinging from cell phone towers that are consistent with providing service to a geographic area that included the interior of the Capitol building.
