#SeditionHunters have caught another #SeditionVIP in his lies! A big one - AZ State Rep. Mark Finchem claimed he was only “300 to 500 yards away from the Capitol. I was never really there.” Oh yes he was! Let’s review. (See thrd, h/t @cMominator for find & @MThymol for video) 1/
First, why is Finchem a big one? Here’s Ali Alexander on Jan 10: “Arizona started with one man -- State Rep. Mark Finchem… now we’re dealing with 40 or 50 [state reps]....I’m very optimistic that Stop the Steal has already taken over Arizona” (Posted by Church Militant.) 2/
On Jan. 2, Finchem tweeted his DC plans: “I will be in Washington DC on January 6 to #StopTheSteal and fight for President @ realDonaldTrump”.... “This is one of the most important days our republic has ever seen. We need all hands on deck.” 3/

On Jan 6 Finchem was in the VIP section of the morning rally at the Ellipse, then rushed by golf cart to the Capitol, where he was due to speak, texting en route with fellow #SeditionVIPs Ali Alexander and Michael Coudrey (btw Ali funded his hotel). 4/

Finchem is first seen on the Capitol E. Plaza at 2:13, walking south. What is chilling about 2:13? It’s the exact time when the Capitol is first breached, and when Ali Alexander sent a Tweet: “First official day of the rebellion.” 5/
Ali tweeted 2:13, then went up the Capitol steps with Alex Jones. Ca. 2:21 PM (L) Finchem posted a photo of the mob on the steps with Jones speaking. “What happens when the People feel they have been ignored, and Congress refuses to acknowledge rampant fraud. #stopthesteal,” 6/
At 2:25, at exactly the time when the East Main Doors are first breached, Finchem is seen backtracking N up the Plaza. Coincidence? Maybe - he could be fleeing the several vans full of DC police who arrived just beforehand. Either way, bad timing for an innocent tourist. 7/
