43/ Combat veteran Teddy Daniels, who rode to the insurrection on Scavo’s bus, was asked to speak at the insurrection. He mentioned looking forward to seeing Lauren Boebert, MTG, & Senator Mastriano. 😳 Scavo’s lawyer is Ernie Preate whose daughter = Bannon shadow press secretary
44/ According to publicly viewable info on FB, at 1:26 p.m. on January 6, 2021, a FB account with the screenname ‘Frank Scavo’ and featuring a picture of Scavo in its cover photo posted a message reading, ‘V.P. PENCE FAILS AMERICA … .’” the report adds. timesleader.com/news/1140966/f…
45/ We’re in the Capitol. Stormed the (expletive) Capitol of the (expletive) United States at 58 years old,” Scavo is allegedly heard to say. “What the (expletive) is wrong with America?”
56/ PA Trump supporter (Samuel Lazar) who was at Capitol insurrection attended recent Mastriano/Giuliani fundraiser lancasteronline.com/news/local/eph…
59/ Mastriano has “become a leader of the Stop the Steal campaign, and claims that he spoke to Donald Trump at least fifteen times between the 2020 election and the insurrection at the Capitol, on January 6th.” 😳
60/ Mastriano “urged his followers to attend the rally at the Capitol that led to the riots, saying, ‘I’m really praying that God will pour His Spirit upon Washington, D.C., like we’ve never seen before.’”
61/ “Videos Contradict State Lawmaker's [Mastriano] Claim He Left Capitol While It Was 'Still Peaceful'” huffpost.com/entry/doug-mas…
63/ Sam Lazar, a “militant Donald Trump supporter whose photo is featured on an FBI wanted list because he was caught on video battling with police officers at the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6 attended a [Giuliani] political event last week” for Mastriano. huffpost.com/entry/samuel-l…
64/ 😳”Asking the fellow rioter to mace the law enforcement officers at the Capitol, Lazar could be heard shouting, ‘F*ck the tyrants. We need to hang these motherf**s.”
Naturally, Giuliani invited Lazar to his recent PA event for Mastriano 4 Governor. ibtimes.sg/who-samuel-laz…
65/ Holy sh#t. “The outlet reported that in a post made on his social media page following the attack, Lazar wrote, that there was ‘a time for peace and there's a time for war. Our constitution allows us to abolish our [government] and install a new one in [its] place.’”
66/ “In the multiple images and videos from the Capitol riot, Lazar can be seen breaking away the barricades, shouting in an officer's face, trying to grab a bike rack away from an officer, using a megaphone to guide the mob to push forward, holding a can of what looks like…
67/ … pepper spray, and then spraying the can at a police line.”
68/ At the May 15 Giuliani event for Mastriano, Lazar also was photographed with Teddy Daniels (who rode on Scavo’s bus to insurrection). A tipster sent the photos to HuffPost after spotting them on Facebook. hillreporter.com/wanted-capitol…
68/ The Preates (Bannon’s lackeys) are in charge of the Pennsylvania GOP. @FBI should look into their role, if any, in organizing the insurrection. @bellingcatpagop.org/member/elizabe…
69/ Again, Papa Preate is a former PA Attorney General/convicted felon. He represents Frank Scavo who organized buses to the insurrection. Alexandra Preate is or was Steve Bannon’s shadow press Secretary. It’s all in the thread with sources, above.
70/ Ernie Preate was a guest on Bannon’s war room in October 2020.
71/ The day before the insurrection, Bannon predicted on his podcast that “All hell is going to break loose tomorrow. Just understand this. All hell is going to break loose tomorrow. It’s gonna be moving. It’s gonna be quick.” washingtonpost.com/politics/2021/…
72/ Bannon added: “So many people said, ‘Man, if I was in revolution, I would be in Washington.’ Well, this is your time in history.”
73/ Bannon further added: “It’s all converging, and now we’re on the point of attack tomorrow. … And all I can say is: Strap in. You have made this happen, and tomorrow it’s game day.”
76/ 😳”Ernie Preate...tried to eliminate the only state agency w/ a mandate to look into organized crime & public corruption at a time when we strongly suspected he was using his office to encourage video poker racketeers to contribute to his campaign." nytimes.com/1993/05/14/us/…
77/ “From his podcast’s YouTube channel, which claimed 330,000 subscribers before the platform shut it down permanently on January 8, Bannon aired the strategic rhetoric that inspired the insurrection in plain sight..." newrepublic.com/article/161574…

79/ This arrest I have NOT confirmed. Also, if the FBI ever arrested Alexandra Preate, it appears she wasn’t charged. If anyone has more info about this, please let me know.

.@TXsecofstate claims it can withhold whatever it wants in response to my public records request re ES&S’s hash failure w/o describing the records withheld. This is not how it works in civil litigation where u must give a privilege log. Is it true under most public records laws?
I’ll answer my own question. No, they cannot do what they did. But who is going to stop them? I’m not active and not licensed in Texas. I need a Texas attorney to help. 1/ texasattorneygeneral.gov/sites/default/…
The Arizona Republic argues that “public records law does not permit the Senate to play 'hide the ball' by delegating core responsibilities to a third party like Cyber Ninjas..." 1/ azcentral.com/story/news/pol…
I appreciate the sentiment. But where has the media been for the past 20 years during which public officials delegated core election responsibilities to private vendors like ES&S & Dominion, which use their “private” status to avoid public records laws?! 2/
I’ll say it again. The Ninjas are a hideous parody of America’s opaque privatized voting system. What makes the media think private vendors are less partisan or more trustworthy than the Ninjas? Remember how ES&S lied about remote access software & internet connectivity? 3/
.@TXsecofstate, @TXAG, @essvote, & @EACgov are withholding info re: voting machine vendor ES&S’s hash validation failure & related election security concerns. They don’t even describe the records they are withholding. They already withheld a video. 1/ drive.google.com/file/d/1YwHnje…
.@EACgov now claims that it will respond to my January FOIA re: it’s investigation of @essvote’s hash validation failure in October. OCTOBER! How much do you want to bet they will put it off again when October rolls around? #Coverup. 2/
I am trying to follow up on my piece re: this issue. Apparently, these guys didn’t like the piece. It is shameful. Voters deserve to know what is going on with ES&S, America’s largest voting machine vendor. @whowhatwhy 3/ whowhatwhy.org/politics/elect…
