EXCLUSIVE: 'What time are we meeting?' Wife of Trump fanatic who killed himself after being arrested at Capitol riots tweeted about flying into DC to attend president's ill-fated rally and posted anti-Biden propaganda
The wife of the Trump fanatic who killed himself after being arrested at the Capitol riots appears to share his conviction that the 2020 Presidential Election was 'stolen' by Democrats.
Kelley Edles – whose husband Christopher Georgia, 53, shot himself in the chest Saturday – created a new Twitter account in November to post anti-Biden propaganda and communicate with other 'voter fraud' protesters.
She retweeted numerous messages alleging voting fraud in Georgia, mocking the President-Elect as well as a Breitbart story critiquing Mark Zuckerberg's Safe Elections project, before the account disappeared after her husband's shocking suicide.

'What time are we meeting? I'm flying in,' Edles tweeted on December 21 to other Trump supporters discussing how they intended to get there
A post in the lead up to last Wednesday's mayhem indicated the mother-of-two, 47, was hoping to fly into DC with banking exec Georgia to join Trump's now-infamous Stop the Steal March which exploded into rioting.
'What time are we meeting? I'm flying in,' Edles tweeted on December 21 to other Trump supporters discussing how they intended to get there.
It's not clear whether Edles made it to DC or was present when her husband was arrested last Wednesday night for illegally entering Capitol property and defying a police curfew.
Georgia appeared in court the next day on two misdemeanor charges then returned home to Alpharetta, an northern suburb of Atlanta, where he killed himself Saturday morning in his basement.
Police seized two semi-automatic rifles from his family's four-bed, $600,000 home, where Georgia, a regional portfolio manager with BB&T, lived with his wife, two daughters and elderly mother-in-law.
Edles declined to comment when approached by DailyMail.com.
His eldest daughter Sadie – who is pictured at a May 2020 Black Lives Matter protest in several posts on her Instagram page - asked a reporter to leave.
Public records indicate Christopher Georgia legally changed his name to Christopher Edles in 2002, stating that Edles was the name of his biological father, rather than Georgia, who was a man married to his mother.
However he appears to have maintained the name Georgia professionally in his various well-paid financial sector jobs, which included stints at Atlanta branches of brokerage firms Bear Sterns and UBS.

Georgia married Edles, then Kelley Morris, in September 2000 and the couple appeared to have had their ups and downs.
Edles filed for a divorce in July 2014 but just one month later had the petition dismissed.
Georgia's social media appears to have been taken down after news of his arrest broke last week and Atlanta-based Antifa activists posted his photo online.
His wife's Twitter has been removed or taken down but cached fragments are still accessible indicating her political positions mirrored her husband's belief that November's vote was rigged.
In a December 1 tweet she responded to a now-deactivated 'Stop The Steal' activist account calling for Trump supporters to attend a rally in Atlanta the following day where pro-Trump attorneys Sidney Powell and Lin Wood were due to speak.

'I live in Alpharetta. Let me know if I can help. I'll be at the Capitol on Thursday also,' she wrote, presumably referring to the Georgia State Capitol.
Edles also retweeted messages of support for Powell and Wood who have been key figures in Trump's failed attempt to overturn the election results and push unsubstantiated theories of mass voter fraud, particularly in Georgia.
On December 7 she retweeted a post saying: 'You're living in the exact moment that your grandkids will one day ask what you did to stop Communism from overthrowing America.'
One week later she retweeted another post featuring a photo of Biden and the caption: 'The most popular Presidential candidate in history. Yeah right. Trump would pull a bigger audience reading the phone book.'
Documents obtained exclusively by DailyMail.com show Georgia's wife called 911 on Saturday morning, telling authorities there was 'blood everywhere' and that 'my husband is dead.'
Dispatch notes from the Alpharetta Police Department state that, when an officer arrived on scene, he was confronted with an 'obvious death' and that family members were 'extremely distraught'.
According to documents from the Superior Court of DC, Georgia had been charged with attempting to 'enter certain property, that is, the United States Capitol Grounds, against the will of the United States Capitol Police.'
At around 7:15pm on Wednesday, January 6 - the night of the riots - Georgia was reportedly among a group outside in violation of the District's 6pm curfew that had been put in place earlier that day to stem the chaos wreaked by the pro-Trump mob.

When officers gave the group several warnings to disperse, Georgia and his group reportedly refused, according to the documents. They were then placed under arrest as a result.
Unlawful entry is a misdemeanor charge that carries a maximum penalty of up to 180 days in jail and fines of up to $1,000.
So far authorities have opened more than 160 cases and charged 70 people over the Capitol outrage, warning the arrests are 'just the beginning' with significant felony charges likely to include sedition and conspiracy.
Five people also died in the shocking scenes of violence that were beamed live around the world.

Three more died from 'medical emergencies' while police officer Brian Sicknick, 42, was killed after he was hit in the head with a fire extinguisher.
A second member of the Capitol Police, Howard Liebengood, who was on duty during the riots, died by suicide the following Saturday.
