"Four decades ago, the Supreme Court wrote that 'the open processes of justice' are especially important after 'a shocking crime occurs.'... There is no doubt that a shocking crime occurred on January 6, 2021."
Press Coalition's latest in the Sam Lazar case. #FacePaintBlowHard
Press Coalition's latest in the Sam Lazar case. #FacePaintBlowHard
Sam Lazar was pallin' around with Doug Mastriano at a Rudy Giuliani event when he was featured on the FBI's Capitol Violence website, having incited rioters to "TAKE [cops'] GUUUUUNNNNS" on Jan. 6.
He's getting out in September.
What's up with that?

The press coalition points out that DOJ blew the deadline here, and appear to have violated local rules. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.usco…
DOJ and an attorney for Jan. 6 rioter Samuel Lazar have filed a heavily-redacted opposition to the media coalition's motion to unseal documents revealing the secret deal / sentence he received.
He'll be out in September, per federal prisons database.

A rioter with close ties to Doug Mastriano and who was caught on video yelling "TAKE THEIR GUUUNNNS" was charged in July 2021... yada yada yada... DOJ and Sam Lazar's lawyer agree on keeping the whole thing hush-hush.
Spotted #FacePaintBlowhard's sister Rebeca Lazar (aka #GalDiceClay) outside the courthouse in March after receiving a tip that family members were coming down for sentencing. Also overheard some talk about what sounded like a pretty light sentence.
SCOOP: Domestic terror defendant Sam Lazar, who urged fellow Jan. 6 rioters to steal cops guns, appeared at a secret court hearing today.
#FacePaintBlowhard appears to have been very helpful to feds.
His family told people it was a sentencing hearing.

The domestic terror suspect frequently palled around with Doug Mastriano, and even went to a Rudy Giuliani event while he was on the FBI’s wanted list. nbcnews.com/politics/justi…
His sister, seen in this video, was here. #MAGAgaldiceclay.
Doug Mastriano — yet again — posed for a photo with the sister of Sam Lazar, a Capitol rioter (and huge Doug Mastriano fan) who is being held pre-trial because he assaulted officers with a chemical weapon on Jan. 6.
Sam Lazar, aka #FacePaintBlowHard, had posed for photos again and again and again with Doug Mastriano, including when Sam Lazar's photo was on the FBI's Capitol Violence wanted list.
Doug Mastriano's own press aide (back left), who helped blocked media at an event, was on the grounds of the Capitol himself on Jan. 6, by the eastern breach. His friend entered. Grant Clarkson watched and appeared to laugh as media equipment was smashed. nbcnews.com/politics/2022-…
Sam Lazar (in combat gear with the bullhorn yelling “push forward!”) is a Doug Mastriano groupie. In May 2001, Lazar posed for a photo w/ Mastriano at a Mastriano fundraiser organized by Giuliani. 1/

3/ Sam Lazar, a Doug Mastriano groupie, attended Mastriano’s sham “election fraud” hearing in Gettysburg. On Jan 6, Lazar allegedly tore down barricades, shouting, “Hang the motherf#ckers!” He was filmed running next to Philly Proud Boys leader Zach Rehl. buckscountybeacon.com/2022/06/doug-m…
As confirmed by Reuters, Rudy Giuliani & the PA GOP’s gubernatorial candidate—Doug Mastriano—switched primary & general election vote by mail data to falsely imply there were voting irregularities in PA 2020. How is this not a scandal?! @January6thCmte 1/
3/ The filing suspending Giuliani’s law license cites this same “switcheroo.” In response, Giuliani did “not deny” the switcheroo.
Wait. What? Sam Lazar and @DougMastriano went to the Capitol together?!!! Are we sure?! #facepaintblowhard 1/ thedailybeast.com/samuel-lazar-c…

Here's officers' perspective of Sam Lazar's assault on the police line on Jan. 6. Lazar would spend the next several months between his participation in the assault and his arrest attending political rallies in Pennsylvania, including a Rudy Giuliani event. #FacePaintBlowHard
A judge ordered last week that Sam Lazar be held until trial.
The feds also saw his appearance in that NYT doc. Here's how they submitted it. (CC: @trbrtc)
If @January6thCmte wants to know about premeditated plans for violence, they should speak to Frank Scavo of Old Forge, PA. Cuz he hangs w/ the AR15 cult (#MAGAMoonies), his lawyer is Bannon's pal (Ernie Preate, a convicted felon), & he seemed to know what was about to happen. 1/

MAGA fanatic Samuel Lazar is appearing before Judge Amy B. Jackson for a detention hearing, and it’s not looking great for him.
“He calls them 'fucking tyrants,’” she says. “He thinks he’s above the law."

Judge Amy B. Jackson: “I’m not sure I can derive much comfort from the fact that the defendant is only alleged to have participated in one insurrection while armed in between January and his arrest in July.”
#FacePaintBlowhard spent months going to pro-Trump events when he was wanted by the FBI: huffpost.com/entry/samuel-l…
Did they visit with TFG, Flynn, or anyone else in the inner MAGA circle? Sam Lazar aka #FacepaintBlowhard is a violent insurrectionist. After Jan 6, he attended a fundraiser hosted by Giuliani in PA. #PASeditionSquad 1/

NEW: A breathtaking image uncovered by #seditionhunters here shows the late Officer Brian Sicknick on the front line of the Jan. 6 attack:
“TRAITORS! TRAITORS! TRAITORS!” Here’s the video that shows the assault on the police line:
A trove of new Jan. 6 images and videos uploaded 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…
BREAKING: Trump fanatic Samuel Lazar, who bragged about assaulting cops on Jan. 6, has been ordered held until trial. He palled around with GOP politicians at a Giuliani event in PA when he was wanted by the FBI. #facepaintblowhard #SeditionHunters huffpost.com/entry/capitol-…
Remarkably, Magistrate Judge Robin Meriweather indicated that it was evidence found by online sleuths that (yet again) made the difference in this case. She was considering home detention until those gun photos surfaced. #SeditionHunters #facepaintblowhard huffpost.com/entry/capitol-…
Magistrate Judge Meriweather moments ago: “I remand Mr. Lazar into the custody of the Marshals to be held without bond…” #facepaintblowhard huffpost.com/entry/capitol-…
Samuel Lazar’s detention hearing is now underway. Government prosecutor is now reading off some selections from Lazar's Facebook search warrant returns. #facepaintblowhard
“What’s next if this defendant is released?” federal prosecutor asks during Lazar’s detention hearing, after reading a threatening post targeting Antifa/BLM/Democrats from Lazar’s Facebook page.
Background: Samuel Lazar was palling around with a bunch of GOP politicians in Pennsylvania when he was on the FBI’s Capitol wanted list. @DanNephinLNP first wrote about his well-documented actions just days after Jan. 6. #facepaintblowhard huffpost.com/entry/samuel-l…
No plea offer for Jan. 6 defendant Danny Rodriguez, who electroshocked D.C. Police Officer Mike Fanone, until he cooperates.
#SeditionHunters and antifacists IDed #TaserPrick early on. Our February story: huffpost.com/entry/fanone-t…

Prosecutor says they are “actively evaluating” a superseding indictment against Daniel Rodriguez. Can’t say much more at the moment. Background:
Danny Rodriguez was arrested in late March. #TaserPrick huffpost.com/entry/daniel-j…
The scheduled detention hearing for the Jan. 6th defendant known as #FacepaintBlowhard will begin soon.

Prosecutors said that Lazar "loved" a Facebook post with the threat against Antifa/BLM/Democrats, which began with the words "Arm up" and "March to D.C."
Lazar didn't write the post, but he screenshot-ed it, circled it, and pointing at it, feds say.

The post pre-dated Jan. 6th and was from circa December, the prosecutor said.
Tune in tomorrow as a 35-year-old Rudy Giuliani fanatic caught on video assaulting police and urging other rioters to steal officers’ guns argues he should be released pretrial, under the supervision of his teenage girlfriend who graduated high school during the pandemic.
Oh and also even when he was on the FBI list he kept showing up to political events. He wore a “back the blue” t-shirt to one. huffpost.com/entry/samuel-l…
There’s a reason that those who want to call Jan. 6 defendants being held pretrial “political prisoners” never want to get into the actual details of their well-documented crimes. huffpost.com/entry/samuel-l…
Something astonishing happened in a Jan. 6 case today. A Capitol defendant who took a misdemeanor plea deal was about to be sentenced.
Then @SeditionHunters surfaced multiple videos that showed him assaulting an officer.

NEW: Capitol rioter Sam Lazar’s lawyer says they’re going to ask for a continuance on the detention hearing “based on some information we just received from the government about 20 minutes ago.” #facepaintblowhard
Sam Lazar’s lawyer says this is about new photos they just learned about. Thanks to a tipster for flagging this one for me. Matter continued until August 31, Lazar remains locked up.
Sam Lazar, 35, wants his teenage girlfriend (who graduated high school during the pandemic) to be his custodian if he’s released pretrial. #facepaintblowhard huffpost.com/entry/samuel-l…
Just stumbled upon this tweet, and look who is in the background. #facepaintblowhard
Sam Lazar’s detention hearing resumes this afternoon. Thread from last week. #facepaintblowhard
DOJ says Sam Lazar is banned from buying weapons, and that he lied on a ATF form in 2016 in an attempt to obtain a weapon. Here he is posing with weapons last year.
In another letter, a man who identified himself as a major in the U.S. Army Reserve and a civilian contractor for the Air Force writes that "Our society needs more people like Samuel Lazar.”
"Our society needs more people like Samuel Lazar.”
Background: huffpost.com/entry/samuel-l…
The feds have filed their memo in support of pretrial detention for Samual Lazar, aka #FacePaintBlowHard. It makes very clear that they’ve been following the work of #SeditionHunters closely.
Samuel Lazar was arrested last week for assaulting officers at the Capitol on Jan. 6. We broke the news of his arrest here, in the middle of the Jan. 6 select committee hearing: huffpost.com/entry/samuel-l…
Feds note that Lazar was convicted of lying in an ATF form in an attempt to obtain a firearm at a gun show, and that he "hatched a plan with his brother for his brother to purchase the firearm, however, the gun store owner denied the sale.”
