"Proud Boys" member Jeffery Finley was arrested last month for going inside the Capitol building during the insurrection.
Before his name was known, researchers called him "#theSuitPB."
He calls himself "SuspectSushi" online.
Jeff's actions on Jan. 6 deserve more attention.

Moments later, the crowd of "Proud Boys" members and others breached the police barricades on the west side of the Capitol and stormed the building.
Seems like Jeff was helping organize and lead the insurrection.

This appears to be the only mention of Jeffery Finley's arrest in the news media.
Like the criminal complaint, this USA TODAY tracker does not mention that Jeff is a "Proud Boys" member.

Just before this crowd of "Proud Boys" and others breached police barricades on the west side of the Capitol, Ethan Nordean approached Jeffery Finley.
Looks like "Rufio" may have given Jeff something. A note with a Baofeng Radio channel frequency written on it? Something else?

Unfortunately, gotta take a break. Will be back later today to add to this thread.
For now, here's a pic of Ethan Nordean signing his name on some "declaration" or something, with Jeffery Finley looking on.

As @DianthaSol says in this thread, that's Edgar “Remy Del Toro” Gonzalez signing the "Declaration of Authority - 2021" with Ethan Nordean in the photo above from the Capitol riot.
#RemyPB is apparently the former leader of the Chicago "Proud Boys."

It seems that "Proud Boys" member Jeffery Finley isn't included in the Capitol Breach Cases list from the Department of Justice / U.S. Attorney’s Office for the District of Columbia.
Anyone have an idea why? Seems strange.

You can hear Jeff Finley talking with fellow "Proud Boys" member William Chrestman and others as they pose for photos in front of the Capitol. Not long after, they stormed the building together.

Good morning. Going to add some more info to this thread about "Proud Boys" member Jeffery Finley (aka, "Suspect Sushi"). #theSuitPB
Jeffery Finley with "Proud Boys" chairman Enrique Tarrio.
Thanks to Dylan Burns for sharing this pic and the details below.
Jeff reportedly said he met with Tarrio to start a West Virginia PB chapter, which Jeff then led.
kw: Suspect Sushi, #theSuitPB
In this message, Jeffery Finley said Proud Boys are willing "to not come home" (after the 12/12/20 rally in DC).
"People getting ready for [...] incarceration."
"You can use these receipts against me."
kw: Capitol, Jeff, SuspectSushi, #theSuitPB, Martinsburg, West Virginia, WV
Ok, so, there's a question about whether Jeffery Finley & Enrique Tarrio actually started a West Virginia "Proud Boys" chapter with Jeff in command. Maybe plans were discussed, but never carried out?
If anyone has proof that Jeff leads/led, please share.
"Stay tight!" yells Jeff Finley while walking toward the Capitol with Joe Biggs, Ethan Nordean, Zach Rehl and other fellow "Proud Boys."

His skull mask is turned to the side, and thus appears totally black when seen in some other pics & video.

Jeff Finley pauses from climbing the Capitol stairs and looks out while standing near a large flower pot.
His skull mask is turned to the side and so appears all black.

HUGE shout-out to @ne0ndistraction for their impressive work uncovering the identity & concerning activity of "Proud Boys" member Jeffery Finley / Suspect Sushi / #theSuitPB.
Much more info in their thread below, including video links & archived tweets.
Going to share more things from @/ne0ndistraction posts.
For example, @SuspectSushi tweeted this photo of himself in Sept. 2020. Looks like the same suit he wore to the Capitol insurrection.

On 1/19/21, Vaush interviewed "Proud Boys" member "Suspect Sushi" (now known to be Jeffery Finley) for over an hour.
This was a couple weeks after the Capitol insurrection, and a couple months before Jeff was arrested for entering the building. #theSuitPB
Vaush's interview with Jeffery Finley has been seen nearly 200,000 times.
Jeff lied repeatedly about the role of the Proud Boys in the Capitol insurrection, and about his own involvement.
@/ne0ndistraction provided this helpful transcription.
Video clips to follow. #theSuitPB
This is the start of the interview.
Vaush meets "Proud Boys" member Jeffery Finley.
Apparently Dylan Burns introduced them to each other.

Jeffery Finley lies repeatedly here, saying that no Proud Boys leaders were inside the Capitol building during the insurrection.
Jeff knew that PB leaders went inside, including himself.

Ending this series of clips by giving Vaush the last word.
After West Virginia "Proud Boys" leader Jeffery Finley talks about his gang "encouraging men to be better fathers," Vaush offers his assessment of Jeff and the other "Proud Boys" members.
Dylan Burns live-streamed his reaction to the news that his debate guest "Suspect Sushi" (Jeffery Finley) was arrested for entering the Capitol.
Via Twitch on 4/5:

Shared to YouTube on 4/7:

"That's 100% him."
Dylan Burns reacts to the arrest of Jeffery Finley, who entered the Capitol building during the insurrection.
Jeff ("Suspect Sushi") had been a regular guest on Dylan's debate show, before he was confirmed as a "Proud Boys" member.
Here's the moment Dylan Burns shared the photo of Jeffery Finley with "Proud Boys" chairman Enrique Tarrio. Jeff had sent the pic to Dylan in a direct message.
Dylan also notes that "Suspect Sushi" was recorded on Jan. 6 saying, "I welcome the doxxing."
"I'll have you know Proud Boys pride themselves on finishing fights, not starting them. Or, at least the very chapter I run."
