#SeditionHunters - this week's court cases, from @RubyWorms - it's a lot! Grant led the first charge; taped-up militia member Gieswein worked in a group but no conspiracy charges yet, Tanios/Khater may have caused an officer's death, Ryan Nichols may be a key link to Trump... 1/ 
Grant (#YoungSkullMan) led the charge up the Pennsylvania Walkway along with with Ryan Samsel, looking like a team - but they seem not linked before Jan 6. How did that teamwork happen? Grant violently fought with police, then was caught on livestream inside the Capitol. 2/
Gieswein (#WildDog) will help explain coordination of militias. He wore orange tape, worked with the Proud Boy #OrangeTapeGroup - but didn't seem to be a Proud Boy. From Boebert's district (L). He's got new charges now. (Annotation by @CassanderGrant) 3/
#SeditionHunters - House Select Jan 6 Committee drops the first requests for federal records, aiming to untangle potential organization of Capitol attack. Scott MacFarlane needs 8 tweets just to list them all. Focus is on overt attempts to prevent peaceful transfer of power. 1/
The J6 Committee request includes all records relating to Cindy Chafian from April 2020 to Jan 20, 2021. Also a huge list of rally speakers and VIPs. Looks like there will be a reckoning for the #SeditionVIP's, the top of the food chain. 2/
#SeditionHunters first broke the sighting of Chafian amidst the violence at the Capitol - the efforts of many people over many months to find, verify, analyze. Now confirmed independently by Raw Story who did their own careful, rigorous investigation. 3/
