NEW FOOTAGE: watch Oregon's @RepNearman tell people, step-by-step, how to breach the Oregon Capitol... with his assistance.

Days later, the breach happened.

Videos adapted from @Oregonian
Story oregonlive.com/politics/2021/…

And yes, the phone number that @RepNearman tells people to call to get someone to come open the door...

Yeah that is his number.

Pulled more footage from the original source. @RepNearman giving advice on the best day for things to go down.

Lady: "...Monday everybody shows up."

Nearman: "Monday, you've got one crack at it there"

The following Monday, December 21st, the breach happened.

Poetically, @RepNearman incriminating himself was filmed by SAME GUY whose #jan6 livestream helped us:

- ID a now-arrested #OathKeepers member guarding Roger Stone
-Catch Stone in a lie (Stone said to @misstessowen that he hadn't left his hotel room)

And where was @RepNearman when this incriminating video was filmed?

@FreedomFdtn's offices. An anti-union group funded by billionaires like the Koch & DeVos foundations. They pay him to serve as a fellow.
