Logan Barnhart, wearing a pink dress shirt, wiped tears outside the courtroom after he was sentenced to three years in federal prison. Here’s how Sedition Hunters IDed him. #Catsweat
“I’ll be there.” 
Trump fanatic Logan Barnhart, who dragged a police officer down the steps of the Capitol on Jan. 6, wrote in a letter to his victim that he's "ashamed" of his behavior.
The pipe layer / romance novel cover model said he's "often fantasized" about being a police officer himself.

There ya have it, folks:
BREAKING: Bodybuilder and romance novel cover model Logan Barnhart has pleaded guilty, admitting that he helped drag a cop down the stairs of the Capitol facedown on Jan. 6. #Catsweat nbcnews.com/politics/justi…
Here’s how #SeditionHunters nabbed Logan Barnhart:
“I’ll be there,” Logan Barnhart wrote in response to a @realDonaldTrump tweet.

Jack Wade Whitton, a 32-year-old from Georgia, bragged in a message obtained by the government that he "fed" a cop "to the people." nbcnews.com/politics/justi…
Whitton was an early target of the "Sedition Hunters" community that came together online to identify Capitol rioters after Jan. 6. Prosecutors referenced the role that "unknown Twitter users" played in tracking his movements using the hashtag #Scallops. nbcnews.com/politics/justi…
A big arrest today, not an organizer but one of the first perps on #SeditionHunters's radar - #Fingerman, who flipped off the police after brutally attacking at the tunnel, notable for his U Michigan sweatshirt. He's Justin Jersey from Flint, Michigan. (h/t @michigantea) 1/
Here's the iconic photo of attackers around a downed police officer that started many people on #SeditionHunting. With today's news about #Fingerman, all hashtags in this Jan 22 post (plus many more) are arrested. 2/
The case is not yet unsealed but Detroit News has a few details. They talk about #HockeystickMan, also from Michigan and also part of that attack, but there doesn't seem to be a connection. 3/

BREAKING: The feds have arrested two Trump-loving cousins who were caught on video attacking cops at the Capitol on Jan. 6: huffpost.com/entry/trump-ca…
#MississippiFlagGuy #KingstonAsh were identified by #SeditionHunters back in February. huffpost.com/entry/trump-ca…

NEW: Here’s body-worn camera footage of #ThreePercentSheriff (aka Ronald Colton McAbee) attacking the police line at the Capitol. A lot of faces familiar to the #SeditionHunters community here.

There were a lot of developments last week involving a few attention-grabbing Jan. 6 suspects, a few of whom were arrested pretty quickly after the attack. A thread.
Gracyn Courtright, the college senior who said that “infamy is just as good as fame” and said she couldn’t wait to tell her grandkids about Jan. 6 took a plea: huffpost.com/entry/gracyn-c…
#FloridaFlagJacket, who self-doxxed on video and was arrested 12 days after HuffPost identified him based on @CountryOvParty’s work, will also be taking a plea: huffpost.com/entry/robert-s…
It’s been barely an hour since the FBI released their video seeking information on two masked men who assaulted a New York Times photojournalist inside the Capitol, and @SeditionHunters already surfaced maskless images. Huge breakthrough. #puffedAOM #tanpantsAOM #SeditionHunters
Much like Logan Barnhart (aka #catsweat) this duo might be done in by a fleeting appearance in a video shot at / near Trump’s speech before the Capitol attack. (Sunglasses were the obstacle in the hunt for Barnhart.) huffpost.com/entry/logan-ba…
Here’s a video on how Logan Barnhart was identified:
Logan Barnhart is scheduled to make a virtual court appearance in 15 minutes (although his name isn’t on the court calendar at the moment, so we’ll see what happens). huffpost.com/entry/logan-ba…
Here’s HuffPost’s video on how #Catsweat was busted by eagle-eyed sleuths. #SeditionHunters
Colbert went with “Roid-Rage Unabomber” for Logan Barnhart.
Logan Barnhart, the Trump-loving romance novel cover model who was captured on video beating officers at the Capitol, has been released on home detention. He was arrested by the FBI this morning. huffpost.com/entry/logan-ba…
Finding this tweet (deleted) tweet took some work. In his Twitter profile image, #CatSweat was wearing the same hat he wore when he attacked officers at the Capitol on Jan. 6.
Here’s how #SeditionHunters identified #CatSweat, one of their earliest targets:
Long-awaited news: #CatSweat is arrested! He's Logan Barnhardt, bodybuilder from MI. One of the key attackers at the tunnel when Officer Miller was dragged. ID was fast once #SeditionHunters found his clear face shot, likely by many (including the great @rocketman2001). 1/
We thought that #CatSweat looked pretty full of himself, and Logan did have an active social media profile, as you might expect for an aspiring model (surprising how many are at the Capitol). Calls himself "knuckle sandwich" - better worry about that pretty face in prison. 2/
He's a heavy machine operator at Barnhart and Son Construction near Lansing, Michigan (hope dad is ashamed), works as a trainer at a gym in Lansing. His partner-in-attack #Scallops was also a gym rat, but Logan seems to have arrived & acted alone. Unclear what radicalized him 3/
It’s like Christmas morning! I can finally drop all the fun tea on Logan Barnhart AKA #catsweat who is a fellow Michigander.
Logan Barnhart of Michigan #catsweat has graced the cover of AT LEAST three romance novels.
Earlier this year he was working out at a very appropriately named gym.

A lot of digging went into this one. #catsweat
What We've Learned (so far) thread
We started looking for 4 rioters who dragged an officer (#5737) into the mob and beat him before and after he lost consciousness. We thought he might be officer Brian Sicknick, who later died. We know now he was officer A.P. Wayte who survived.

In the hunt, though, we found video of a guy (GrayPack) who threw a fire extinguisher at a group of police. One of them had had his helmet knocked off by a different guy who checked him over a ledge. The extinguisher hit one cop in the head, bounced into the helmetless guy.
We know that Officer Sicknick was hit in the head by an extinguisher, "walked it off," then collapsed later and died, presuably from brain bleeding. Those facts fit the helmetless officer, but we don't know yet if he is Sicknick. He turns his head; they don't look that similar.
