“'I am in the White House!… We’re in the White House!… We’re inside the White House. Our house.’”

“WITCHER later clarified during his interview that he was so emotional and invested in the moment, he briefly forgot he was in the Capitol building, and not the White House."
The layers here.
Witness 2’s battery situation stresses me out. courtlistener.com/recap/gov.usco…
"BARNARD went to former President Donald Trump's speech before moving to the Capitol building in the hopes of being closer to the President when he announced he would march to the building.”
The Trump supporter who rappelled into the Senate chamber thinking he was the House and then bragged — incorrectly — that he sat in Nancy Pelosi’s seat was probably pretty embarrassed, but at least he got the branch of government right.

BREAKING: A federal grand jury indicted Brent Bozell IV (aka #HersheyChristianAcademy, aka Zeeker Bozell) on seven counts on Friday.

The indictment was juuuust posted moments ago.

Indictment includes allegation he damaged property (the window).
Indictment says Brent Bozell IV “forcibly entered the United States Capitol” and “attempted to, and did, willfully injure and commit depredation against property of the United States.”

Also popped him with aiding and abetting on both of those counts. Image
Here’s a link to Brent Bozell IV / Zeeker Bozell’s indictment.

So.

We already knew that Brent Bozell IV — son of conservative activist Brent Bozell, grandson of Joseph McCarthy’s speechwriter/Barry Goldwater’s ghostwriter — stormed the U.S. Capitol and invaded the Senate chamber.

But — unless another insurrectionist also wore an identical sweatshirt to storm the Capitol — it also looks like Bozell smashed out a Capitol window, according to this video mashup by citizen sleuths:
Amateur lawyered the heck out of that one, but the evidence is pretty damning.

And once again, citizen sleuths were out in front. #SeditionHunters outlined more of #HerseyChristianAcademy’s actions before his mid-Feb. arrest.

Proud Boys member Christopher Worrell (aka #SgtPepperSprayer) arrested today. Affidavit cites "open-source materials located on various Twitter accounts.” #SeditionHunters
"WORRELL was extremely agitated and upset that the FBI was at his house… He also became agitated when asked about the Proud Boys. WORRELL stated that 'the Proud Boys were not a racist white supremacist group like the media tries to portray.’” documentcloud.org/documents/2051…
Once again in this case, a federal magistrate judge in the defendant’s home state ordered him released. Government appealed, and D.C. Chief Judge Beryl Howell granted a motion for an emergency stay. Hearing next week.

NEW: The feds made an arrest in the brutal assault on Officer Mike Fanone during the Capitol riot.

Thomas Sibick stole the officer’s radio and badge.

He buried the badge in his backyard.

A magistrate judge ordered him released.

Government appealing.

“🇺🇸 Wildest experience in my life!!” huffpost.com/entry/thomas-s…
Two weeks ago, @JessReports and I (with the help of internet sleuths) broke a story exposing Danny “DJ”Rodriguez as the Trump fan who tased Officer Mike Fanone. No public action against him yet, but it’s very likely a larger conspiracy case is in works. huffpost.com/entry/fanone-t…

NEW: There's a brand-new website to help the citizen sleuths working to hunt down the Capitol insurrectionists. It’s really quite remarkable.

#SeditionHunters

huffpost.com/entry/citizens…
“Don’t piss off software developers,” says @jsrailton, calling @jan6evidence a “ridiculously helpful tool” that shows how citizen sleuthing efforts have matured.

huffpost.com/entry/citizens…
Earlier this week, @capitolhunters launched jan6attack.com, which organizes all of the hashtags and evidence in a user-friendly format. The sleuthing efforts are really evolving. #SeditionHunters huffpost.com/entry/citizens…
