About this video from last night.
We’ve been closely tracking the cases of many of the people shown
Let me tell you more …
(Below)
At 0:22
The Proud Boys. Some are newly charged with *seditious* conspiracy. Yesterday a group of them appeared in DC court and pleaded not guilty to new charges. Some are seeking to move their trials from DC.. claiming jurors are biased
At 2:03 mark.. that’s the assault at the Peace Circle. They toppled the barricade and knocked officer unconscious. (Officer who testified last night)
One of the defendants in this assault has long history of arrests for assaulting women, including a pregnant woman
At 3:39 mark.. the medieval hand-to-hand combat via police body cam. Per Feds… Brian Mock of Minnesota is near this attack. And also captured on body cam. Mock has been defending himself in his case. Also has history of alleged threats against women/child. (Not guilty plea)
At 3:59 mark, that’s Dom Pezzola of New York. Accused of being Proud Boy & smashing open window with police riot shield. Not guilty plea in seditious conspiracy case. Been in DC jail more than a year. Argued for release, including saying there’s lack of hygiene in jail
At 4:13 mark… group gets thru east front windows. Soon thereafter man with Confederate flag would walk thru
At 4:30 mark, Joe Biggs. Accused Proud Boys conspirator
Hours before hearing last night, Biggs requested change-of-venue to move criminal case outta DC. And yes.. he cited media coverage on @StephenAtHome and @JoeNBC among reasons
(Yes.. those shows air nationally)
I’m telling you. There were MANY confederate flags on Jan 6 at Capitol.
This is from 4:48 mark of video
At 5:11 mark. The gallows
A European journalist recovered the orange rope, which was eventually cut down and dropped on ground (by outraged Good Samaritan after mob had shifted away)
Per my reporting, noose is in possession of FBI Washington Field Office
At 6:37 mark
And …. another Confederate flag ===>
At 7:39 mark.. chants of “Nancy, Nancy” as rioters ascend stairs
So many, many threats against Speaker Pelosi on Jan 6. One defendant acknowledged saying aloud that she wanted to find Nancy Pelosi “to shoot her in the friggin brain”
She pleaded guilty to … misdemeanor
At 8:00 … the Oath Keepers alleged “stack formation”
A group with tactical gear & allegedly part of group staging weapons in Virginia in case Trump invoked Insurrection Act
They’re struggling to firm up trial dates. Keeps getting delayed. Likely late autumn
At 8:16 mark. OathKeepers inside. A bunch of this group are in Pretrial detention. And have been for a long time. They’ve complained about inconsistent access to laptops and tablets and attorneys to review their cases.
Stewart Rhodes, founder of OathKeepers is also jailed
At 8:34 mark. House Chamber. The peril Members faced at this moment. Some were in upper level crouching down
At 9:01 mark … Pauline Bauer. She’s used sovereign citizen language in court, has defended herself in court, made outbursts at judge, defied court orders. So .. despite being a low level defendant .. she’s been jailed for nearly a year awaiting trial. Trial could be spectacle!
At 9:49 mark. The crutch being brandished as weapon.
My list of make shift weapons includes: baseball bats, hockey sticks, bear spray, bottles, wooden plank, ax, tomahawk, signs, flags, sharpened flag poles
And speaking of Confederate Flags… Justice Dept says Kevin Seefried is the man carrying this flag thru the Capitol on Jan 6
He goes on trial …. Monday here in DC
