#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/
#SeditionHunters - let’s revisit the 1st Amendment Praetorian “security force”, now working July 4th rallies! We called this guy #ShadowFlynn because he’s always at Michael Flynn’s side; his 1AP nickname may be “Yoda”. Below is Dec. 12. On Jan 6, he was at the Capitol alone... 1/
...roaming widely & seeming to coordinate action. Will show 3 sightings that are pretty suspicious. First: around 1:15 PM on the East Plaza, #ShadowFlynn texts intently while the crowd talks about Congressional action: “Arizona is up for play!” (AZ challenge was at 1:12) 2/
#ShadowFlynn's sighting at 1:15 PM is also right as fighting stalled on the West Plaza. As #ShadowFlynn passes by, the inciter #CountResisto shouts on his bullhorn: “reinforcements around back!... They need some support around back!” For full context: 3/
#SeditionHunters - in ancient Rome, the elite Praetorian Guard kept overthrowing the emperors they were assigned to protect. In DC this January, seems the “1st Amendment Praetorians” had similar ambitions - intrigue is timeless. Here’s a 1st thread on 1AP & the Willard Hotel 1/
#SeditionHunters have been tracking 1AP since Jan; the 1/5 Freedom Plaza rally permit says: “...1st Amendment Praetorian Group will provide...security.” Founded 2020 by messianic Green Beret Robert Patrick Lewis who now hangs with the VIPs. They recruit from former military... 2/
...& now also police & intelligence officers. RPL is now on the speaker circuit. On Dec 12: ntd.com/former-green-b…
On Jan 5 in DC, warned that U.S. kids may "grow up in a communist hellhole" "This is our chance...take back the country." Listen to it. 3/
#SeditionHunters - just in case you hadn't heard, #AllBlackTrumpHat is arrested, importantly the first for assault on media (AOM). He also has an AOF (assault on a federal officer); that's the clip below. Both by tackling from behind.. Docs at link. 1/ justice.gov/usao-dc/case-m…
Here is the AOM by #AllBlackTrumpHat (Shane Woods of IL); he blindsided a cameraman in the AP Press pen during the end-of-day #MediaSmash. Many people have been frustrated that attacks on journalists on Jan 6 did not seem taken seriously. Hopefully many more arrests to come. 2/
It's been a busy arrest day for FBI! Besides #EmoNazi and #AllBlackTrumpHat they got #ClipperGlitch & wife, Jamie & Jennifer Buteau, Qanon fanatics previously interviewed by documentarian Cullen Hoback. Hoback himself strolled Capitol grounds on Jan 6.. 3/ huffpost.com/entry/jamie-je…
#EmoNazi was not just at the tunnel; he was part of the final brutal assault that broke police lines on the W. Plaza. Below pics are around 2:28 PM. His diligent agent has seen this episode, but any earlier sightings could still be added. 3/
#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/
#SeditionHunters - turns out Rohrabacher wasn’t the only ex-Congressman at the Capitol on Jan 6! 1-term Michigan Rep. Kerry Bentivolio (R MI-11) admits to being INSIDE, said he was visited by FBI. Former Army, seems a nutcase but one with special access 1/ m.facebook.com/story.php?stor…
Posted today (6/16) after FBI visit: “I went to DC on Jan 4. On the 5th I visited several members of Congress. As a former member I do not go through the same security protocols as regular folks...” 2/
"On the 6th I went [in]l to watch the historic vote. I have a right, as a former member, to be on the floor...” FB pics suggest he was inside the Capitol & on the E. Plaza very early, before action began. During the attack he's on the W. side but selfie is on legal grounds. 3/
