I have filed a motion to compel the government to identify active-duty FBI employees who were in the crowd at the Capitol with former FBI Liaison to Capitol Police John Guandolo on January 6.

My filing also includes a sworn declaration from John Guandolo in the case of Kowalke v. David Eastman, where Guandolo attested under penalty of perjury that he was with an FBI special agent at the Capitol.

Guandolo has also acknowledged in several interviews that he was with multiple active-duty FBI agents at the Capitol on January 6, and that they introduced him to other FBI who were in the crowd.

In his Kowalke v. Eastman testimony, Guandolo gave a nervous answer about whether he was "on the job" on January 6, but did testify he was not working as law enforcement. Guandolo spun his UTT - (Understanding The Threat) organization out of his DOD work in asymmetric and information warfare.

Capitol CCTV that has not yet been released by @SpeakerJohnson shows Guandolo's active-duty FBI colleagues. Since that video is still under seal, I can only show some of these colleagues in images taken from public video.

@SpeakerJohnson This CCTV shows that Guandolo and these active-duty FBI agents went into the area that the government alleges was restricted on January 6. I have redacted the background of this exhibit since @SpeakerJohnson has not yet released camera 0948 to the public.

Guandolo also posted video from January 6 to YouTube (now removed). I was able to find an archived copy and sync it to CCTV to show that Guandolo's active-duty FBI colleague was vigorously clapping and said "This is HUGE!" as people went up the steps. Sadly, I cannot show you that CCTV since @SpeakerJohnson has not yet released camera 7231 to the pubic. But here is Guandolo's video with subtitles.

I have emailed the unredacted version of my filing, and the sealed video exhibit showing the clapping FBI agent to @SpeakerJohnson, @JudiciaryGOP, and @HouseAdmin. Since Congress owns the Capitol CCTV, they are free to make them public, or continue hiding them from the public (in violation of Speaker Johnson's promise to release the CCTV), if they wish.

I will be happy to provide these items to any Senator or Representative who wants a copy, as well as J6 defense teams who have signed the protective order governing discovery.

For J6 defendants who have cases on the west side of the Capitol, Guandolo and his FBI colleagues walked onto the west lawn (inside the government's alleged restricted area) at about 2:58 p.m. Guandolo's included this clip in his J6 video montage that was recorded at ~3:05 p.m.

Unfortunately, a clip of DEA Agent Mark Ibrahim (who was at the Capitol with an FBI informant) was cut off right before Guandolo and his FBI colleagues walked around the SE corner at 2:55 p.m.

DEA Agent Mark Ibrahim was charged for flashing his badge and gun at the Capitol on January 6. This clip from BattleBrothersTrading is the video the cuts off right before Guandolo and his FBI colleagues walked past. Both Ibrahim and Guandolo were in Nick Searcy's Capitol Punishment.

The government has motioned for an extension of time (until 3/14) to respond to my motion to compel identification of the FBI agents who celebrated people running up the Capitol steps. My opposition to the government having an entire month to respond is included in the filing:

Judge Contreras has granted the government's motion for an extension of time to respond to my motion to identify the FBI agents who cheered people going up the Capitol steps.

@EpochJoe64 has written a good article covering my motion to identify the active duty FBI agents who were in the government's alleged restricted area at the Capitol and celebrating as people ran up the east steps.

Here's some public footage showing Guandolo and his FBI colleagues inside the government's alleged restricted area at 2:55 p.m.

Since @SpeakerJohnson has made camera 0948 public, I can now unredact Figure 10 from Page 14 of my motion, which shows former FBI Liaison to Capitol Police John Guandolo walking inside the government's alleged restricted area with his active duty FBI colleagues.

See the 15 minute mark: rumble.com/v4elpdz-0948us…

Speaker Johnson has also now released Camera 0767, which gives a clear view of Guandolo's clapping colleague. My motion seeks to compel the government to identify these FBI agents so they can testify in court.

Here's the video from Camera 0767 showing Guandolo walking with the colleagues that he has described as active duty FBI. As they walk off screen Guandolo appeared to have an interaction with someone to his right (seen better on another camera), then #FenceCutterBulwark and #ShamrockSheep appear.

Note, the video jumps a few frames because this was the gap between two CCTV video files at 2:55 p.m.

The government notified me today that they filed a motion to file redacted and sealed responses to my motion to compel identification of FBI employees who were with former FBI liaison John Guandolo. I have not yet seen this hit the docket, nor have I seen their sealed response.
