The FBI Capitol wanted photo of the suspect who looks like Rick Moranis has received more media coverage than any other wanted photo the FBI has posted, which is a pretty solid argument for giving insurrection subjects nicknames! huffpost.com/entry/rick-mor…
"Because of the sheer number of defendants being targeted, the FBI hasn’t chosen to give nicknames to any Capitol insurrectionists yet.” huffpost.com/entry/fbi-capi…
Also note to self: 12:53 a.m. is not the best time to make a Twitter joke that would’ve killed it in the morning:
There have been stories about this guy in The New York Post, The New York Daily News, Perez Hilton, The Daily Mail, Newsweek, TMZ, and HuffPost. It trended on Twitter.

You know who definitely saw that coverage? Someone who knows who that Rick Moranis lookalike actually is.

"The FBI digital team will be arresting all who illegally entered the DC [Capitol]."

TrumpIsYourPresident1776: "Lmao yaaaaaaaaaa sure thing buddy!”

The FBI arrested Debra Maimone in New Castle, PA, today.
The feds identified Philip Vogel in part because his boat capsized while night fishing and he did a local television interview.
Oh also he wore company merch. Common insurrectionist mistake, it seems. documentcloud.org/documents/2051…

Yet another case in which former classmates told the FBI about their worst Facebook friend. (The charges against Dillan Homol went public yesterday.) courtlistener.com/recap/gov.usco…
Facebook frenemies coming through once again. Previously: huffpost.com/entry/facebook…
On Facebook live: “They can’t stop us all, come on we are going into the Capitol, can’t stop us all.”

To the feds: "HOMOL claimed that he was forced into the Capitol building by the crowd and he could not fight back against the crowd when he entered the building.”

Here’s the FBI’s affidavit against Robert Scott Palmer, written one week after HuffPost identified him as #FloridaFlagJacket.

It makes no mention of our story, or of the tips the bureau received from citizen sleuths.

NEW: Robert Scott Palmer’s attorney says his client wasn’t aware he was on the FBI’s Capitol wanted list until HuffPost gave him a ring.

“He certainly became aware of it, maybe during the conversation with you guys.”

#FloridaFlagJacket #SeditionHunters
huffpost.com/entry/florida-…
Palmer, his attorney said, is a “true believer” who regrets his actions on Jan. 6 and is “trying to do the right thing now.”

Palmer retained his lawyer shortly after HuffPost’s story ran.

huffpost.com/entry/florida-…
Palmer and his attorney are “are on opposite ends of the spectrum” politically (his attorney mentioned his photo with former President Obama on his office), but he described him as a "decent guy” who is “regretful and remorseful.” huffpost.com/entry/florida-…

BREAKING: Robert Scott Palmer, aka #FloridaFlagJacket, was arrested today.

HuffPost, building on the work of citizen sleuths, first reported on his identity in a story on March 5.

Story with @JessReports. More to come. #SeditionHunters

huffpost.com/entry/florida-…
The case against Robert Scott Palmer is still under seal in D.C., but court records in the Middle District of Florida indicated he was arrested today. More when we have it. huffpost.com/entry/florida-…
