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?

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. Image
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.

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-…

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/ Image
3/ The filing suspending Giuliani’s law license cites this same “switcheroo.” In response, Giuliani did “not deny” the switcheroo.

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."

Previously:

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.”

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:

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.

Story w/ @letsgomathias: huffpost.com/entry/robert-r…
“The quick response to last minute discovery of images showing a suspected assault clearly shows the dedication by all involved,” said the @SeditionHunters team.
