Remember the video I found of a Stop the Steal organizer who called for the "execution" of Trump's foes? He was just indicted on a conspiracy charge related to the 1/6 attack on the US Capitol. 1/4
motherjones.com/politics/2021/…
Here's the indictment.
extremism.gwu.edu/sites/g/files/… 2/4
The indictment against Hostetter notes that he advocated violence against those who supported the 2020 election results and cites the speech I reported. 3/4
The indictment alleges Hostetter conspired w/ other pro-Trump extremists to assault the Capitol to disrupt & stop the election certification. He wasn't there as part of normal tourist action. This was, according to the indictment, a premeditated, insurrectionist attack. 4/4
This conspiracy charge is significant in that it indicts a group of Three Percenters, an extremist outfit. (They say that only 3 percent of Americans fought against the Brits in the Revolutionary War & they are the new 3 percent.)

Good morning from the US Capitol.

A beautiful cold day. With thousands of troops.
From beneath the podium where Joe Biden will become president.
Setting socially distanced seats for the VIPs.

I was at the US Capitol this morning to get a COVID test—mandatory for journalists covering the inauguration. It’s a militarized zone. This is what Trump has done to America. 1/7

With the GA Senate races coming to a close, here's a thread recapping my reporting on @kloeffler & her conflicts/questionable business dealings. First the stories, then a breakdown. Please share. #GAsen 1/4

.@KLoeffler was a top exec at Intercontinental Exchange (ICE) & owned a lot of ICE stock; her husband is its CEO. In the Senate, she served on a subcomm. overseeing the CFTC, which regulates ICE, as the CFTC made decisions affecting ICE. Big conflict! 2/4
motherjones.com/politics/2020/…
While @kloeffler opposed new COVID relief in the Senate, her husband's company, Intercontinental Exchange, made an $11 billion deal that sought to profit off the pandemic. She owned millions of dollars in ICE stock & stood to gain personally from this. 3/4

A Thread and an Ask: I know you're all getting hit at the end of the year by a ton of good causes requesting money right now. Let me add to that rush. If you value the work we do at @MotherJones, please help us with a donation. 1/X

The Trump era has been a stretch of death and demagoguery. Through it all, we at @MotherJones have been doing kick-ass journalism to uncover the corruption, greed, lies, and treachery—reporting on the pandemic, the GOP war on democracy, social inequality & other betrayals. 2/6
We can only do this work because of people like you. Really. @MotherJones is a nonprofit. No rich owner. No corporate backing. That affords us great independence. But it means we have to rattle the cup. No one likes doing that. But that's how we're able to keep on going. 3/6

1. With Trump pardoning Stone & Manafort tonight, here's a thread. Remember the GOP-led Senate intel comm report said Manafort was in cahoots with a Russian intelligence officer during the 2016 campaign—while Putin was attacking the election to help Trump.
motherjones.com/politics/2020/…
2. This finding and many others proved the Trump-Russia scandal was no hoax. US intelligence had real reasons to worry about the Trump campaign, its interactions with Russians, and its response to Moscow's attack on an American election.
3. The Senate intel comm report also stated plainly that Trump aided and abetted the Russian attack by denying it was happening—while Trump sought to exploit the attack. That is, Trump sided with a foreign adversary as it was assaulting the US and provided cover for it. Betrayal?
