#SeditionHunters - more sync'd Jan 6 video, 29 crucial minutes when police retook the Capitol building. Watch DC police, with FBI SWAT backup, flood into the Rotunda & push invaders out. Featuring Proud Boys, Oathkeepers, many hashtagged perps... 1/
All is calm at first, with Proud Boys (L) and Oathkeepers (R) casually standing around. #Rufio's group is still looking pretty composed around 3:02 PM... 2/
But police have been gathering: by 3 PM, FBI SWAT are waiting at one door while a group of MPD are pushing rioters through another. (That's Stephen Horn up there filming.) Watch at 1:23-1:24 in video as police practically throw #StringyPlaid & #UncagedBird into the Rotunda. 3/
The Proud Boys consult together at 3:03 PM & seem to plan a prudent exit without confronting police, while Oregon extremist David Medina (#FadedOrc) can't resist an aggressive confrontation. 4/
By 3:05 PM Riley June Williams (#GreenShirtStairmaster) is adding to her federal charges by fighting with officers (L). As the police push the crowd back you get great shots of many perps. Newly-arrested Glen Simon (#PurplePantherPunk) is in the purple gaiter at R. 5/
Active-duty Marine Major Chris Warnagiris (#YellowZipSkulker) doesn't seem to have a strategic plan, mostly stands around looking confused. L image is around 3:02, R around 3:05 PM. 6/
Meanwhile Ethan Nordean (#Rufio) and his crew discreetly exit around 3:09 PM, avoiding the mayhem to come. Here's an outside shot of Nordean and Paul Rae (#1776HatPB) headed north around 3:18 PM. (By 3:37 PM they've joined back up with #JoeBiggs and take a group photo.) 7/
Just as Nordean strolls away, the mob makes a new push through the E. main doors (the Columbus Doors) and breaks through again at 3:18 PM. That's Olympian Klete Keller at R in his USA Swimming jacket, watching the mob swarm in. 8/
Robert Gieswein (#WildDog) had returned to the Rotunda at 3:16 PM (L), maybe unwisely - he's just in time to get crushed when police regroup and retake the space (3:21 PM, R). 9/
The police pushback is caught on new surveillance footage: here's Vets for Trump's #IamAntonioLamotta INSIDE, seeming to negotiate with Capitol police. (If only the CP had bodycam!) LaMotta's out on bail for weapons charges from Nov., might not be out much longer though... 10/
...because by 3:27:40 PM #IamAntonioLamotta is seen actively fighting with police as he tries to squeeze out the Columbus Doors. Believe most judges would find that assault on a federal officer is not consistent with bail terms. 11/
As always with these analyses, the labor was done by hundreds of volunteers. @FixThisNow2021 found the shot of #Rufio leaving. @StevieG54099097 sync'd video. Info on each perp is at jan6attack.com/individuals.htm (h/t Tommy Carstersen, @ne0ndistraction). 12/

The Trump-appointed chairman of the panel approving his fascist arch turns out to be an architect who restores palaces in Russia, lectures in Russia, and publishes in Russia: Rodney Mims Cook Jr., son of a famous GA politician, a cartoonishly pretentious monument builder. 1/ Image
Image
The current version of Rodney Mims Cook Jr.'s floridly self-aggrandizing website lists five lectures or presentations in Russia (including at the Kremlin) and one at the Russian embassy in DC. He's proud of his ties (h/t @nycsouthpaw) 2/ Image
Another bio for Rodney Mims Cook Jr. (oddly, he's on the board of a Caribbean medical school) omits a talk at 'Spaso House, Russia' and a 2017 presentation at the Hermitage in St. Petersburg, but does include writings in Izvestia and Pravda. 3/ Image

The only bright side of the DOJ's disgusting effort to vacate the convictions of the Proud Boys who led the Jan 6 Capitol attack (they weren't pardoned, just commuted): now they can all be subpoenae'd to testify and can't plead the 5th anymore. They'd have to talk. 1/
The next DOJ dirty trick to watch for is an attempt to throw the pipe bomber case, to let Brian Cole wiggle out scot-free by casting doubt on the case. He's already filed a motion fingering an innocent cop. Expect Todd Blanche to do everything in his power to help him. 2/
The Jan 6 pipe bombs were deeply connected to many people including sitting Congressmen. No way do Trump and Blanche want any of that to come up in court. They will want that case to go away and if they will work the corrupt DOJ to make it go away quietly. 3/

It's great that autocrat Viktor Orban, the model for MAGA, was crushed in Hungary's election today. But prep for backlash: Trump's backers will rush to grab what they can before he falls too. Trump is already paying off the techbros by seizing SF's Presidio for them. 1/ Image
The techbros have dreamed of taking San Francisco's beautiful Presidio for decades; they want it for a dreamed-of libertarian "Freedom City" they'd rule. The plot is sophomoric and nutty but dangerously real. Trump's been helping them since 2023. 2/

The broligarchs plotting to take the Presidio are among the richest men in America but @PoojaSalhotra's NYT article makes not one mention of them, saying only vaguely that Trump wants to "reshape the bureaucracy." 3/

For those still behind: Melania's Epstein presser yesterday ("I was not a participant") was almost certainly driven by Amanda Ungaro, an Epstein victim who had a child with Paolo Zampolli, who brought Melania to the US. Zampolli just got Ungaro deported; she's vowing revenge. 1/
Back in the 1990s Paolo Zampolli, a friend of Trump and Epstein, created "ID Models" and brought the young Slovenian Melania Knaus to the US. She hooked up with Epstein, then Zampolli introduced her to Trump. She's now your First Lady and seems worried about this past. 2/ Image
Zampolli started a relationship with a young Epstein victim, Amanda Ungaro, and had a child with her. In 2025, he decided to solve his custody dispute by getting ICE to deport Ungaro, then taking the child. She's now vowing to tell all in revenge. 3/

Let’s talk about Graham Platner’s Big Lie. In 2009, at the height of the Gulf War, the Marines barred him from active duty. Platner claims it was his forearm tattoos. But his one forbidden tattoo was the Nazi symbol on his chest. He left the Marines rather than give it up. 1/ Image
This thread is not about whether Platner is a Nazi. It’s about how he lies like a toddler when he’s cornered. And that’s enough. He’s not electable, and Susan Collins knows it. You can too, if you can read this thread, or this 18-page document. 2/
docs.google.com/document/d/1fN…
Back to 2009: Platner had finished 4 years active duty and enrolled in college, but quickly dropped out and wanted to go back to war. The Gulf War was raging; the Marines were so shorthanded they were recalling servicemen to duty. But they didn’t want Platner. 3/ Image

Newsflash: the men whose 2020 plan to steal the election was rejected as too crazy, are now tasked with stealing the 2026 election.

On Dec. 18, 2020, Trump vetoed Mike Flynn and Patrick Byrne's plan of seizing voting machines. He green-lit Jan 6 instead. But now they're back. 1/
Dec. 18, 2020 was the decision point that set the Capitol attack in motion. Around midnight, Flynn and Byrne were kicked out of the White House. At 1:42 AM Trump sent the first message about Jan 6 instead. But Jan 6 failed, and now Trump is desperate. 2/
Flynn and Byrne, the two key men Trump has asked to help him steal the 2026 election, were both compromised by Russian agents. Flynn dined in Moscow with Putin. Byrne was seduced by Russian agent Maria Butina. And now they want to steal your vote. 3/
