“We’re so used to it, the wink and nod lie, you’re talking to a member and they lie to you and we just move on. Now it’s all changed… We cannot fail to call it what it was. It was an insurrection. They tried to destroy democracy.” - @bresreports vice.com/en/article/4av…
“It’s eerily back to normal. But sometimes It feels like one of those horror movies, like the end of ‘Jaws.’ Everything feels copacetic on the beach. But you wonder if there’s anything out there.” vice.com/en/article/4av…
Newly released video in the Bruno Cua case shows a mob attack on Capitol officers as they tried to secure the doors to the Senate gallery. Watch:
Bruno Cua is now living with his family, and his parents said they felt “stupid” and “embarrassed” for believing Trump’s mass voter fraud lies: huffpost.com/entry/bruno-cu…
"DUONG later that day talked again about going into the Capitol and said when he went in, he was 'just recording as like a journalist,' using quotes with his fingers when saying this to indicate his sarcasm.”
My book (working title: Sedition Hunters) will examine how the sprawling FBI manhunt for the Capitol rioters, aided by a smorgasbord of tech-savvy sleuths, will reshape the bureau and 21st century law enforcement.
The FBI has enlisted the public’s help in manhunts since its foundation (sometimes for good, sometimes… not so much). But the Capitol riot investigation is truly a pivot point for a bureau and the federal government’s approach to domestic terrorism. huffpost.com/entry/sedition…
A partial peek at the research hoard. What other FBI-centric books am I missing?
New Capitol case: Timothy Hart, who stormed the Capitol in a Q shirt and pushed up against the barricades during the initial breach, was arrested in Ohio.
A FBI affidavit line that never fails to crack me up: "Based on my training experience, I know that marijuana is commonly referred to as weed…”
"The video shows HART pushing the barricade and eventually going around it towards the Capitol… helping to push the barricades until the crowd successfully pushed the barricades against the officers.”
In the nearly six months since the Jan. 6 attack, the FBI’s unprecedented manhunt for Capitol insurrectionists has been aided by a motley crew of online sleuths keeping the feds on their toes.
