#SeditionHunters - a big arrest today! #BulgePB, who hung with the Proud Boys elite on Jan 6, is Nathaniel Tuck, a former cop from Florida, IDd by the great @ne0ndistraction. He's at R here, escorting #FashProShop to the E. side of the Capitol to meet up with Joe Biggs. 1/
#BulgePB was arrested along with his dad, also a Florida police officer, or was one til he resigned today. Weirdly for a cop, apparently texted his family “We stormed the Capitol, fought the police.” See ne0n's thread for more.. 2/ orlandosentinel.com/news/crime/os-…
Interestingly the wives of both #BulgePB and #FashProShop aka Arthur Jackman are ALSO police officers in Florida. Sarah Jackman just cleared for duty, says she thought Proud Boys were a nice group where "men spend time together & attend Bible studies.” 3/ clickorlando.com/news/local/202…
This triumphal video shot after leaving the Capitol shows #BulgePB's 'fash-y' haircut and two-armed salute - he's not so nice after all. 5 of this Elite 8 are now arrested, all but Ethan Nordean (#Rufio) from Central Florida; likely the others are too. 4/
Arrested Proud Boys Joe Biggs (#JoeBiggs), Arthur Jackman (#FashProShop), Paul Rae (#1776HatPB), & Nathaniel Tuck (#BulgePB) all live in the same part of Central Florida, in adjacent Volusia, Seminole, and Orange Counties. A logical place to look for more Jan 6 suspects! 5/
In general not a good day for FL law enforcement! Feds also indicted 16 members of a FL white supremacist gang who used “corrupt law enforcement officers and state employees” to try to dodge charges for murder, kidnapping..1 Capitol attacker among them. 6/ nbcnews.com/news/crime-cou…
And an update from the fabulous @OSINTyeti - it's not five but SIX of the "Elite 8" Proud Boys group that are now arrested.... because #HorizontalBlackPB is Kevin Tuck, Nathaniel Tuck's dad. Arrested marked in red here. 7/
Since today is a FL geography lesson, let's compare the arrestees from the Proud Boys "Elite 8" to the violent #MachineGunKitty crew arrested last week, who are from Polk County... What's going on in Central Florida? 8/
Kevin Tuck aka #HorizontalBlackPB also shows the ugly mixing of insurrection & religion; he's been a pastor for 15 years at the Lighthouse Church. Their FB: "Children are always looking for a word.. sons become the word." On Jan 6 he helped his son breach the U.S. Capitol. 9/
In 20 seconds of searching, can't help but notice that there's an Eddie George Jr. who is a heavily researched Proud Boy from Florida with selfies with Roger Stone and supposed connections to Turning Point U.S.A. ...11/ firestormonfash.noblogs.org/post/2020/07/0…
To remind people: #AliGPB, the potential match to Eddie George Jr., rushes up to give #BulgePB a hug during their triumphant march from W to E sides of the Capitol. That was just as the Capitol was breached & they knew the attack would succeed. 12/
Eddie George Jr. apparently arrested this AM in North Carolina! Still unclear if he's the same as the Florida PB. May be connected to what Vox calls "the most bizarre conspiracy theory you’ve never heard of", 'Frazzledrip'. Thread from @jordangreennc. 13/
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/
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/
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/
WaPo reports: Trump put his receptionist Chamberlain Harris on the arts commission reviewing his ballroom. They omit: in 2021 Harris helped Trump move classified docs to Mar-a-Lago, kept some on her laptop. And once that went public, she wiped a 2019 trip to Russia off her CV. 1/
Chamberlain Harris had a fast rise: from VP of her college TPUSA chapter, then a summer trip to Russia, then into the White House in just a few months. A bit over a year later, she was Trump's trusted helper who helped him pack up classified material. 2/ theguardian.com/us-news/2023/f…
Her career trajectory - TPUSA right to the West Wing - wouldn't be surprising in DC, except for how she started scrubbing her LinkedIn when the publicity over Trump's classified documents grab began. The first thing to go was the trip to Russia. Then the entire LinkedIn. 3/
Alex Pretti's killers are identified by ProPublica. The man who shot Pretti in the back ("A4") is Border Patrol agent Jesus Ochoa. The man who instigated the confrontation ("A1") is CBP officer Raymundo Gutierrez. Not new hires: 8 & 12 years service. 1/
ProPublica is terse about the sourcing but says "government documents" - likely a leak. Public video, public outrage, and news coverage all encourage leaks. Now the next step is obtaining the footage from the bodycam that Gutierrez ("A1") was wearing. 2/ propublica.org/article/alex-p…
A pushback on this statement by @davidmcswane. Sure, it's hard to sort out what agent did what in the chaos, but many people have done it: this account, CNN, NYT, WaPo. Just be methodical, label & describe them, and work frame by frame. People need to see the full story. 3/
The Epstein files show his wild geopolitical schemes, but realize: he was a huckster who conned his way up; his friends called him dumb. He may have been a tool. @TVolscho digs up early details: Epstein lied to get a Dalton job, got fired mid-semester since he couldn't teach. 1/
The Epstein files show him reaching out to Putin in 2013 to suggest tearing up the world's financial system. But a friend said that Epstein couldn't understand the talk at his science dinners, so would blurt out "what does that got to do with pussy". 2/ motherjones.com/criminal-justi…
As Epstein's emails show the extent of his ties to global elites, we have to manage the contradictions. Epstein curated his image, working the press. He was a genius at the con. But he was not likely the creator of all the schemes he pitched. Who was? 3/ substack.com/home/post/p-18…
New video implies one of Alex Pretti's shooters wore a bodycam that day - and shows his face.
Two agents at Pretti's murder - "A1" (NS-919), the instigator who fired at his prone body, & "A12" (NS-909) - are now seen earlier attacking another observer. The bodycam is clear. 1/
There is no suggestion that agents have changed their identifier numbers. The details of A1 / NS-919's vest match on both days, though it's seen more clearly in the new video. build. His build is the same. The new video also shows his face, partially. 2/
The new video is now linked in the summary document covered in this thread. (See Tweet 2 for link to Google Doc.) 3/
