Court documents released on Tuesday detailed audio files investigators had recovered from Nordean's cell phone, that were exchanged on Telegram, an encrypted-messaging service that has become popular with far-right groups.

In the conversation, individuals who appeared to be fellow Proud Boys members expressed worry about the ongoing investigation and arrests of people involved in the Capitol riot, while others chastised the members who took part in the riot.

"We are f---ed ... they are coming for us," one person said in one of the audio files.

There was also a discussion speculating about how solid of a case federal prosecutors were building. One individual commented that "feds don't charge until they have a lot of evidence," and if they "have enough evidence they are not going to offer much of a plea" deal.

"They're going to throw the f---ing book at us," one individual said in one of the audio files.

There appeared to be a lot of intergroup conflict in the audio transcripts as well, with some individuals unhappy that members even went to Washington, DC, in the first place.

According to the transcript, one individual said that he was confused about what happened in Washington because he thought they had voted not to go.

One individual said the "Warboys" went to DC and it "completely f---ing crashed and burns on us ... good job with the comms, good job with the security, good job with legal ... I mean f---ing 'Tifa looks like professionals compared to us," in an apparent reference to the antifa movement.
