NEW: A suspect on the FBI’s Capitol wanted list, who was caught on video battling with police, attended a Rudy Giuliani event last week, where he got a photo with a Trump-loving state senator who organized buses to D.C. on Jan. 6. #FacePaintBlowhard huffpost.com/entry/samuel-l…
“We maced them right the fuck back… “Fuck the tyrants… We need to hang these motherfuckers.” huffpost.com/entry/samuel-l…
Lazar battled with police over and over and over again on Jan. 6. He was at the front of the lines. Here’s just a sampling of his rhetoric:
Here he is attempting to rip down a barrier while holding a can of mace and a bullhorn.
Lazar chronicled his journey to DC, and the local news had a story about him on Jan. 10. Later, after members of the #SeditionHunters community tracked the man’s actions using open source video, the FBI added his photo to their Capitol attack page. Then some dots connected.
You may have heard of state Sen. Doug Mastriano even if you don’t live in Pennsylvania. He organized that cartoonish “hearing” that Trump called into through Jenna Ellis’ speakerphone. He’s thinking about running for governor. This photo might haunt him. huffpost.com/entry/samuel-l…
“Lazar has repeatedly declined LNP’s efforts to speak with him about his activities at the Capitol on Jan. 6.” @DanNephinLNP: lancasteronline.com/news/local/eph…

Lawyers for detained Capitol defendants have been trying to make the case to judges that Jan. 6 was this one-off, unique moment and that there’s no longer an ongoing threat, and the former president just keeps gutting their argument.
Judges aren’t making detention decisions based on Trump’s rhetoric alone, but it certainly doesn’t help! More background in this great @ZoeTillman piece. buzzfeednews.com/article/zoetil…
Trump doesn’t have to actually put any skin in the game when he dashes off rants calling 2020 the "greatest Election Fraud in the history of our Country," but in additional to increasing the threat of another attack, he’s damaging the defenses of people who actually believed him.

There’s an interesting version of this story to be written, but one thing it fails to grapple with is that these protest/riot media pods are primarily driven by safety concerns. Not everyone in these groups share the same values and ethics. theintercept.com/2021/05/13/rio…
You really can’t lump the work of a reality-based reporter like @ShelbyTalcott in with some of these other clowns who willfully deceive viewers and describe the Capitol attackers as “patriots.”
The description of that Tucker clip undersells it, I think. She drew a firm line between protesters and opportunistic looters in a different part of the city who took advantage of the situation. Don’t imagine that's the red meat that Tucker wanted!

You can see (and hear) the stun gun attack at around 1:24.
You can spot DJ Rodriguez’s jacket and MAGA hat in the footage too if you look closely. huffpost.com/entry/fanone-t…

Government has extended a tentative plea deal offer to Timothy Hale-Cusanelli. It is still waiting on supervisor approval.

Frustrated defense lawyer says the tentative offer is “very open-ended and wishy-washy.”

(Standard disclosure that most cases end in plea deals.)
“Not to insult the prosecutor, but it really wasn’t a plea offer,” says defense attorney. Defense wants to set a trial date and move things forward. They’re also frustrated by discovery process, they don’t really know what occurred in the building.
Hale-Cusanelli has advised his lawyers that other Capitol defendants he’s jailed with have told him that he’s popped up in videos released as part of their discovery process, per defense attorney.
