The FBI affidavit also cited a mole on Giobbie’s cheek, confirming his identity.
The arrest was made despite his attorney’s claim that Giobbie had not been engaged in subversive activities since the riot.
Giobbie’s connection to the Philadelphia Eagles, as seen through the throwback beanie he wore, was also noted.
