Be sure to watch the video here: huffpost.com/entry/facial-r…
Matthew Beddingfield of North Carolina is out on bail on an attempted murder charge. He went to the Million MAGA March with his dad, who came back again on Jan. 6 to — as he wrote on Facebook — “take this country back from those commie bastards." huffpost.com/entry/facial-r… Image
I had a “woah, creepy!” experience with my facial recognition results. It went a bit differently for @JessReports: huffpost.com/entry/facial-r… Image
Basically if you’ve ever been in a Capitol Hill media scrum, I would highly recommend that you do not crime.
“I reckon that could be him.” huffpost.com/entry/facial-r…
“I mean, there’s a lot of doppelgängers in the world, isn’t it?” huffpost.com/entry/facial-r…
The FBI has received a number of tips from citizen sleuths who got really strong leads off of facial recognition. Here are two more they should be looking at: huffpost.com/entry/facial-r… ImageImage
We informed the FBI about our reporting about Matthew Beddingfield on Thursday. If his cell phone pinged a tower in or near the Capitol, an arrest warrant / criminal complaint should be able to sail by a judge pretty dang quickly. huffpost.com/entry/facial-r…
The whole video is well produced, but this cut was extra good:
Anyway, read the piece that many are saying has “a lot of things going on.” huffpost.com/entry/facial-r… Image
Just really wanted to thank all of the #SeditionHunters who helped pull this one together. It was really impressive work, and I appreciate everyone who contributed in any capacity.

Keep those tips coming.

Five Trump fans, including a Capitol Police officer, died as a direct result of January 6.

“Zero threat,” Trump said. “Hugging and kissing.”

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:

"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.
