I got around to reading the article by Greenwald. Below is an excerpt from his
article. Below that are excerpts from the prosecutors court filing. Greenwald
has not accurately described what is in the court filing.

Excerpt from Greenwald article -
Eric Munchel, a pro-Trump rioter who stormed the Capitol building while holding
plastic handcuffs, took the restraints from a table inside the Capitol
building, prosecutors said in a court filing Wednesday
<https://www.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.uscourts.tnmd.85025/gov.uscourts.tnmd.85025.8.0.pdf>.
Munchel, who broke into the building with his mom
<https://www.businessinsider.com/pro-trump-rioters-pictured-capitol-zip-ties-charged-2021-1?utm_source=yahoo.com&utm_medium=referral>,
was labeled "zip-tie guy" after he was photographed barreling down the Senate
chamber holding the restraints. His appearance raised questions about whether
the insurrectionists who sought to stop Congress from counting Electoral
College votes on January 6 also intended to take lawmakers hostage.
But according to the new filing, Munchel and his mother took the handcuffs from
within the Capitol building - apparently to ensure the Capitol Police couldn't
use them on the insurrectionists - rather than bring them in when they
initially breached the building.

Excerpts from prosecutors court filing -
MUNCHEL gleefully acquired several sets of plastic handcuffs as he walked
through the Capitol and entered the Senate chamber, where only moments earlier
the...
...The allegations underlying the complaint also establish that MUNCHEL and
Eisenhart followed after two Capitol Police officers while carrying these
handcuffs
At one point, MUNCHEL spots plastic handcuffs on a table inside a hallway in
the Capitol. MUNCHEL exclaims, “Zipties. I need to get me some of them
motherfuckers,” and grabs several white plastic handcuffs from on top of a
cabinet (but leaves many others).
MUNCHEL also seized several pairs of white plastic handcuffs and carried them
around with him while inside the Capitol; he appears to have brought them back
to Nashville with him, perhaps as trophies.
