The number of Capitol suspects posted on the FBI’s website is on the verge of topping 300. By my count, more than 220 of the suspects are still at large.
That doesn’t even include the addition suspects whose photos are not featured on the FBI’s website.
Anyway, this is all to say that I found DOJ’s claim last month that “at least one hundred additional individuals” would be charged to be really lowballing it! They could’ve very easily just said “hundreds more,” which is more impressive and also realistic/attainable.
The FBI is now including additional detail too: "This male was wearing a red cap, red jacket, white mask, and light blue jeans. He is seen in the aftermath of the shooting wearing black gloves and white sneakers, kicking a door."

The feds have arrested “Sam with InfoWars dot com,” aka Samuel Montoya.
"The director of the Congressional press galleries within the Senate Press office did a name check on Samuel Christopher Montoya and confirmed that no one by that name has Congressional press credentials as an individual or via any other organizations.” justice.gov/usao-dc/case-m…
That’s a line that could get blurry in other cases. Not sure every single legitimate journalist who entered the Capitol necessarily had a congressional press pass.
Was trying to figure out why DOJ just posted the court documents against Nicholes Lentz on their website when he was arrested way back on February 19. (Short thread.)
Well, as it turns out, this was basically on a shadow docket for more than a month.
Should’ve been unsealed upon arrest. There was a motion to unseal on Feb. 26.
But it wasn’t ACTUALLY unsealed until March 29. Look at all those "(Entered: 03/29/2021)” entries.
Now there’s a new entry on DOJ’s website about the Lentz case, and the paperwork is finally posted. The former cop’s next hearing is April 29. justice.gov/usao-dc/case-m…
Over the weekend, the government disclosed newly discovered body cam footage of Jack Wade Whitton, who bragged that he “fed” an officer to the mob.
"This statement, coupled the defendant’s lack of remorse and respect for the life of law enforcement officers, as seen in his text messages, is a red flag of his continuing dangerousness." courtlistener.com/recap/gov.usco…
Somebody might wanna check on Kyle. Not me, though, I’m perfectly fine and normal. Nothing to see here. I’m definitely not dreaming about PACER checks, that’s for sure!
FACEBOOK MESSAGE: "They might be after us too? Idk…”
NARRATOR: They would.
Investigation of Jeremy Sovisto, Sr. and his fiance Ashley Aho grew out of the investigation into Karl Dresch, who was arrested in January. Case against Sovisto just popped, documents here: documentcloud.org/documents/2060…
This is the second case I can think of off hand where a Capitol defendant confused the Capitol for the White House. Approaching trend territory.
In court hearing, an attorney for Jeffrey Sabol says he has “come to terms with the mistakes that he’s made.”
Sabol, he said said, realizes his “mindset on January 6 was completely wrong” and he’d “been lied to.”
Sabol claimed he was “patting [an officer] on the back” and saying “we got you man” when shown a video that appeared to show him throwing punches at an officer.
In Sabol hearing, federal prosecutor seems to reference the #SeditionHunters community and shows the court a "photograph disseminated across social media" that "very quickly kicked off” the probe that led to Sabol’s arrest.
