#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/ ImageImage
#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/
#ShadowFlynn then makes his way to the West lawn, where he paces for several minutes, talking urgently on the phone. Spectators comment on his earpiece and conversation: “He says that they’re still coming on in”. He’s so professional they assume he is Secret Service. 4/ ImageImage
#ShadowFlynn's call was around 2:04 PM, just as the East Capitol steps were breached. Minutes later the NW Stairs were also taken and Proud Boys and other leaders headed East. #ShadowFlynn must have gone too... 5/
... because he’s soon seen again at the East steps. At 2:40 PM, exactly one minute after the E. main doors were breached, #ShadowFlynn walked alone away from the scene of the battle, toward the Capitol SE courtyard, presumably headed for his next post. 6/
How did #ShadowFlynn get so important? We know he’s an “OG”: he’s with 1AP from their first activities in Oct 2020, at #BrandonStraka’s “Walkaway” rallies (R photo is Phoenix, 10/18/20). (Note: Straka was arrested for fighting with cops on the Capitol steps on Jan 6.) 7/ ImageImage
On Jan 5 in DC, #ShadowFlynn was at the Freedom Plaza rally with Michael Flynn (L, photo by Matt Couch). Staci Burk, AZ law student and contributor to failed election-fraud lawsuits, also posted a backstage photo. She claims to have 1AP protection from #ShadowFlynn (R).. 8/ ImageImage
Burk claims in a somewhat unhinged Feb. letter that “by the end of November I had a full-time security team of 3-5 former top law enforcement and military individuals… (sent by General Flynn and Sidney [Powell] from an organization called 1 A Praetorians)” (Posted on FB) 9/ Image
In May, Burk denied being in DC & feuded with the Flynns, posting supposed Joe Flynn voicemail (he “finally talked with Flynn and Yoda..”) In June: “The 1AP guy I have trusted the most…is currently in Ukraine..for top secret activities” She’s not exactly a reliable source...10/ Image
...her election-fraud “evidence” certainly wasn’t worth much! But Staci aside, #ShadowFlynn does seem central to 1AP activities. Why was Michael Flynn's personal security man at the Capitol on Jan 6, seeming to coordinate? It's alarming on many levels. 11/

As always the work is a collaborative effort (though many contributors want to be anonymous)! H/t @StevieG54099097 & @CoryCullington for video; full #ShadowFlynn 'reel' at link. Research props to @visionsurreal, @PiperK & the sharp-eyed Bluehatz crew. 12/
We’ll keep updating this thread as more is known. Note that timing of ~1:15 and ~2:04 PM videos here is still rough. The 2:40 PM vid (link below) is well-timed by sync’ing to continuous timestamped footage from @wusa9, so helpful for #SeditionHunters! 13/

Can we ask why Trump's new hire for the Bureau of Labor Statistics recorded a podcast promoting Project 2025 IN FRONT OF A PICTURE OF A NAZI WARSHIP? @briantylercohen flagged the podcast but missed the Bismarck. Is any reporter going to cover actual Nazis in our government? 1/ Image
Compare the images. Who would do a podcast in front of a ship launched by Hitler, used to attack the US and Allies in WWII? Trump's appointees. People asked today, why did Trump pick the woefully unqualified Antoni for BLS? This is his qualification. 2/

See that forward gun turret right behind EJ Antoni, our new head of the Bureau of Labor Statistics? Here's Adolf Hitler inspecting the Bismarck in front of that same turret. We are way beyond dog-whistles. Antoni CHOSE to use Hitler's navy up as a backdrop. It was a choice. 3/ Image

Don't sleep on how telling it that Trumps prepares to abandon Ukraine by using Russia-loving Hungarian autocrat Viktor Orban as the excuse: 'Orban told me that Russia is too powerful'. Remember that Orban, Trump, and Netanyahu are the product of the same US political machine. 1/
Orban made his country the poorest in Europe, but he's the role model for America's neo-fascist oligarchs. Peter Thiel & Yoram Hazony's "National Conservatism" is full of Hungarians; Orban's adviser signed their "principles". Even the Economist gets it. 2/ archive.is/GJWuNImage
Decades of fuckery is the same people, over and over. Arthur Finkelstein's army of dirty tricksters (Roger Stone and Paul Manafort are his 'boys'; Orban, Trump, and Netanyahu the products). Russian influences pushing the far right in the US and Europe. 2/

Sean Casten just learned that Mike Johnson was Dean of a planned law school named after pedophile Southern Baptist leader Judge Paul Pressler, who preyed on young boys. Wait til he learns that Ted Cruz was on its board. Pressler also gave Cruz one of his first endorsements. 1/ Image
Johnson's failed Paul Pressler School of Law was a major play by the religious right. Its board, formed in 2010, was full of the biggest luminaries in the fundamentalist Evangelical universe. Then in 2011, the obscure Ted Cruz was added. Ask him why. 2/

Image
The Paul Pressler School of Law was an intensely political project, meant to train lawyers to overturn US law, build a Christian-focused government. That's why its board were key names - and then Cruz. Many of these people have Jan 6 connections. They're still power players. 3/ Image

As Fox revisits Hilary's email server, let's do a comparative politics test. Question: why did the Jan 6 Committee have to subpoena phone records of Trump officials? Answer: because they were ALL using private emails and phones for government business. Yet no media covered it. 1/
Do you want to learn how Trump aide Vince Haley managed the 1776 Commission, worked on the Jan 6 speech, or negotiated Mike Flynn's pardon? It was on his @ newt. org email from when he worked for Newt Gingrich. Not submitted to the National Archives. 2/
govinfo.gov/content/pkg/GP…Image
Just look at the J6C's material: only a tiny portion is from the National Archives. Most of it is personal devices and personal emails, used by Trump officials for government business. Wildly insecure and also illegal. But sure, talk about Hillary. 3/

People missed the likely explanation for Trump's bizarre ramble yesterday, when he falsely said his uncle taught the Unabomber Ted Kaczynski. Trump is under huge stress right now about the Jeffrey Epstein files. And it's Epstein who claimed that he studied with the Unabomber. 1/
That detail came out in 2019. After Epstein's address book got released, reporter Leland Nally called the numbers in it, and got a wild interview with Stuart Pivar, who said he was a close friend of Epstein's: "Jeffrey once told me that he studied math with the Unambomber." 2/ Image
Epstein's story is a lie: Kaczynski quit teaching in 1969, when Epstein was in high school. But the interview reminds us again how odd it is that in 1974, after Epstein dropped out of college, he was immediately hired to teach math & physics at Dalton, a prep school. How? 3/ Image

A part of the Epstein nothing-to-see-here fiasco no one's talking about: what happened to the "army of FBI agents" pulled off their cases in March to work on the Epstein files? Pam Bondi made people move to DC, pull all-nighters redacting the files. Did they just.. go home? 1/ Image
Bloomberg: Pam Bondi demanded all the FBI's Epstein files, then ordered "hundreds" of agents to work on them (bizarrely via their personal phones). They were "holed up in offices at the bureau’s sprawling Central Records Complex". Are they still there? 2/
bloomberg.com/news/newslette…
The public should know what happened to Bondi's redaction effort, when and why (and if) the decision was made to send FBI agents home. And if she won't answer maybe one of those hundreds of agents is mad enough to leak. Keep your eye on who is next laid off at the FBI, too. 3/
