#SeditionHunters - gofers like #LemonyKickit can be more important than VIPs for understanding the Capitol attack! He shows the planning & coordination. Watch him run all over the grounds live-streaming & following orders in new reel by @StevieG54099097 1/
#LemonyKickit’s zig-zag path also shows the Capitol attack did not go as fast as planned. During the drawn-out W. Plaza fight, he & pal #LemonZest spend an hour taking phone calls & reversing direction, waiting to move East. 2/
At 1:20 PM #LemonyKickit's part of a charge East that we call “Exodus 0.5": flag wavers signal & people flood onto the NW lawn (L). But the rush is called off, maybe because the Plaza fight was slow. Lemony takes a call; everyone backtracks; by 1:26 the lawn is clear again (R) 3/
Lemony goes out to the far edge of the W. lawn for a meeting (1:40 PM, L), then back in to film on the W. Plaza while fighters launch an organized attack on police guarding the NW Scaffold. After the mob breaks police lines, he’s seen heading out again (1:50 PM, R)... 4/
… for the true “Exodus 1”: by 1:54 #LemonyKickit is waiting at the NE corner, along with some other well-studied perps. If you look closely in this video you can see #ZZTopPB signaling on the left. A few minutes later they will both start the breaches on the East Plaza. 5/
#LemonyKickit rushes to the E. stairs to film, then pushes to the front & helps break the police line. He runs up, cuts right, & changes roles: 20 minutes later he’s back for the attack on the E. door, now without the camera, in a neck gaiter and wearing ballistic glasses. 6/
If #LemonyKickit is a gofer, his boss needs to see him! His bright yellow Gadsden hat is easy to track. At the end of the day, though, after police have re-taken the Capitol, he makes a more discreet exit wearing a black hat instead. 7/
So mid-level perps are instructive - and should make excellent cooperating witnesses. For another, see updated reel on #MaroonPB, who bosses his fellow Proud Boys & busts barricades on both sides of the Capitol. @AE06788511 found Lemony, let’s find more 8/
As always, many many people in the #SeditionHunters community contributed to finding footage; this is a true crowdsourced effort. @JohP123's sharp eyes found Lemony in the black hat. All video sources are fully documented in notes field. 9/
The hope is to get more of these made - more video editors have volunteered, thank you! As reels and maps are made we'll get them posted up on each perp's page on jan6attack.com. 10/

To all marveling at photos of NYT columnist David Brooks dining with Jeffrey Epstein, 2 years after Epstein finished his sentence for procuring a child for prostitution, here's what it was: the 2011 "Edge Billionaire's Dinner". Elon Musk and Jeff Bezos were there too. 1/
The Edge founder John Brockman was lauded for his "discerning taste in the choice of participants." Funny how the photos he posted - the same as in the Epstein files - highlight so many luminaries but leave out convicted felon & registered sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. 2/
The NYT imperiously dismissed the issue, declaring Brooks must of course dine with "noted and important business leaders". But details aren't hard to find. The Silicon Valley pantheon was there: Musk, Bezos, Brin, Mayer, Wojcicki, Mundie, Myhrvold... 3/ edge.org/event/the-edge…
Chaos: two rival factions - one tied the president and one to the VP - are trying to set US policy on Ukraine, cutting out the State Dept. Each pushes Ukraine to surrender, then leaks to press to claim they are official. FT now reports Vance's faction is holding its own talks. 1/
In Oct. the Trump faction - son-in-law Jared Kushner & business pal Steve Witkoff - met secretly with a Russian rep in Miami. Now the Vance faction - his Yale friend Dan Driscoll - is meeting in Abu Dhabi with Russians and a Ukrainian. Rival efforts. 2/ ft.com/content/55a9f8…
FT's source is clearly part of the Vance camp and tries to portray SecArmy Dan Driscoll, a 39-year-old former 1st lieutenant whose only qualification his friendship with Vance, as a new important conduit to Russia. FT had to ask if Ukrainians were involved at all. 3/
Tony Perkins frets about "political disaster" from Trump's involvement with Epstein. Back in 2016, when Ted Cruz floundered at the polls, Perkins pushed religious-right leaders to switch to Trump, calling it a "calculated risk". How does that calculation look now, Tony? 1/
Tony Perkins was the mentor of a young Mike Johnson, an unmarried law student who had oddly taken in a young boy. Perkins knew what Johnson was, but pushed him into politics anyway. @tperkins: all this will be in the history books, as your legacy. 2/
@tperkins Before Mike Johnson ran for office, he was Dean of a new law school named for notorious pedophile Judge Paul Pressler, who preyed on young boys. Tony Perkins sat on its board. And also on the board was a relatively unknown Ted Cruz - who'd known Pressler since he was a teen. 3/
Each Epstein email has so many layers of slime people miss some. This is Ken Starr, fired for covering up sexual assault, offering to help former client Jeffrey Epstein's friend's sexual harassment case by introducing him to Jed Rubenfeld, put on leave for sexual misconduct. 1/
Epstein's elite world was VERY elite: Yale Law prof Jed Rubenfeld's wife Amy Chua, also a Yale Law prof, was the mentor of Yale Law student JD Vance. Ken Starr was the mentor of Yale Law grad Brett Kavanaugh, also accused of sexual assault but now seated on the Supreme Court. 2/
Ken Starr, despite his long trail of sexual grossness, cosplayed as a warrior for an also-gross sexual prudishness. He and Brett Kavanaugh went after Bill Clinton (a visitor to Epstein's island) for oral sex with an intern. Kavanaugh came up with the graphic sexual questions. 3/
One fascinating thing in the Epstein email drop is an exchange around Trump's election in 2016. It suggests a tense, ongoing relationship, and Epstein's power.
Part 1, Sept 23: Linda Stone jokes that Epstein will get a cabinet position if Trump wins. Like Trump owes him. 1/
Backing up: the exchange is with Linda Stone, a tech exec who'd known Epstein since the 1990s: she brokered his entrance into academia, linked him with scientists. In 2016 they were close enough to be chatty, far enough to go months between emails. 2/ politico.com/news/magazine/…
Part 2, Sept. 26: three days after Stone asked Epstein if Trump could win, he answers: "too soon to tell, we will know more come oct 15". He doesn't explain: what would he learn then? Meanwhile Stone isn't even sure if Epstein supports Trump: "Which team you pulling for?" 3/
This week in Trump-Epstein: first @JSweetLI IDs the 14-year-old girl Epstein brought to Mar-a-Lago to meet Trump in 1994. Then the House Dems release an email where Epstein says Trump hung out at his house with underaged girls: "[VICTIM] spent hours at my house with him" 1/
in short: Trump spent so much time with Epstein and underaged girls that even Epstein couldn't figure out how it wasn't news!
"Jane", who testified she'd been abused by Epstein, was entered in Trump's pageants in the 1990s, long before Kirk and Halligan in 2009. Still, it's odd how so many women in Trump's circle had walked the stage in front of him as barely-clad teenagers. 3/
