1/ Thread: January 6th - Looking Back. We knew almost all of this way back on January 7th, 2021.
* Photos surfaced of Jacob 'QAnon Shaman' Chansley with Rudy Giuliani in Nov 2020. Behind Rudy in the photo is Bernie Kerik who has been close to Giuliani since about the 1980s.
2/ Kerik was NYPD Commish when Rudy was Mayor of NY & received a Trump pardon in early 2020 for several felonies from years earlier. Kerik was also on a #FightBack Foundation Board soliciting donations to combat the 'radical left' with Lin Wood, yes the 'execute Mike Pence' guy.
3/ Kyle Rittenhouse's initial lawyer John Pierce was also on the Board, but stepped down after his financial issues were revealed. Rittenhouse eventually fired Pierce who now reps J6 defendants and Proud Boys. Pierce made an interesting Rittenhouse related tweet the night of J6.
4/ Pierce has referred to his ex-client Giuliani as a 'good friend'. Giuliani left a voice mail for the wrong Senator on Jan 6 - he meant it for Sen. Tuberville - where Rudy expresses a desire to delay certification of the presidential election results.
5/ What did the Capitol breach accomplish? It slowed certification. And then we also have a former John Pierce client, George Papadopoulos, who tweeted about a '1776 moment' on Jan 5th and appears to have subseuently deleted the tweet.
6/ And then again on the night of J6, the Proud Boy, Giuliani, Lin Wood, George Papadoupolous and apparently Enrique Tarrio (see tweets below) and more connected lawyer added more on social media.
7/ More has come to light. Chansley was sentenced and is in prison. He's hired Pierce for a potential appeal. 'Trial by Combat' Giuliani met w/ the Committee. More on the '1776 moment' has come out. Enrique Tarrio - indicted for 'seditious conspriacy' - is now in this mix.
8/ According to the New Yorker, six days after the Capito Riot, Pierce arranged a meeting with Enrique Tarrio and his then client Rittenhouse. The article refers to Tarrio as Pierce's 'purported client.'
9/ A year and a half later, there is so much out there about J6. Almost all the information in this thread was known as early as Jan 7th, 2021, just one day after the Capitol attack. The Committee has done a ton of work. The hearings are must see television. Will you tune in?
