#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/

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/

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/
Bare-bones indictment of Nathaniel and Kevin Tuck (#BulgePB & #HorizontalBlackPB) is now unsealed (ty @alanfeuer)! Combines them with Jackman (#FashProShop), Rae (#1776HatPB), & one new name: "Edward George Jr." Who is he? Could be #AliGPB... 10/
onedrive.live.com/?authkey=%21AJ…
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/

What motivated #SeditionHunters? For many, a sense that democracy itself was & is under attack. The Joint Chiefs' letter of Jan 11 suggested the chain of command was fraying. A new book validates this sense - Gen. Milley feared a 'Reichstag moment' 1/
washingtonpost.com/politics/joint…
Many of us asked ourselves - what if we were Germans in 1933, watching events unfold? When do you know that it's time to drop everything, put your life on hold and go to work? Turns out Milley made the same analogy... 2/
There've been over 4 news articles about the #SeditionHunters community; all use words like "motley", "amateurs", "sleuths" playing detective. But whenever the U.S. was attacked, citizens have stepped up, always, to do their part. In uniforms they don't look so "motley"... 3/

#SeditionHunters - the FBI prosecution of assault on media has reached one of the nastiest: Alan Byerly of PA aka #GreyBeanieMeanie, who viciously attacked AP photographer John Minchillo. He's the one in the grey beanie...PA journalists, do your thing! 1/
justice.gov/usao-dc/case-m…
His PA affiliation wasn't hard to find; his beanie says "Kutztown". The attack was shocking for his visible rage, also Minchillo was pushed over a wall & could have been seriously hurt. (Btw don't credit those who helped Minchillo; they may be org. folks trying to de-escalate) 2/
The video crucial to Byerly's arrest was shot by his AP colleague Julio Cortez (julythephotoguy) from helmet-mounted cam. So reporting itself defends reporters! As in the #MediaSmash, the mob called any journalist "CNN".. 3/

#SeditionHunters - newly unsealed court docs for unhashtagged perp Fi Duong, VA extremist. Interestingly reveal that DC police were well aware of Jan 6 threats - they had undercover operatives out that morning chatting with suspicious-looking people. 1/
s3.documentcloud.org/documents/2098… ImageImage
The friendly DC MPD undercover operative got Duong's name and contact information, apparently then went to the Capitol and chatted with him again there. And then passed his name to the FBI.... 2/ Image
By Jan 13 an FBI undercover agent ("UCE") had infiltrated Duong's extremist friend-group (not quite an organized militia), which mixed "Bible study" with firearms training and making homemade bombs. 3/ Image

#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 - 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/

#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/ ImageImage
#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/ ImageImage
...& 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/
