Read this story today from @ChrisA0213 in the #Sarasota @HeraldTribune about former Overstock CEO Patrick Byrne, who helps fund Big Lie audit done by Sarasota-based Cyber Ninjas in Maricopa County, AZ. 1/
Remember Patrick Byrne? As the @NewYorker's @sheelahk reported, the former Overstock CEO dove deep into the world of conspiracy theories after his affair with Russian spy Maria Butina. /2

newyorker.com/magazine/2020/…
Patrick Byrne was part of the group at the White House with #SarasotaSeditionSquad member Mike Flynn, Sidney Powell, etc urging Trump to have US military seize Dominion voting machines, as @axios's @jonathanvswan & @zacharybasu reported /3

As @ChrisA0213 has previously reported, Patrick Byrne & others helped fund Sarasota-based Cyber Ninjas' audit of Maricopa County, AZ via a nonprofit out of an #Ellenton, FL, #ManateeCounty P.O. Box /4

Patrick Byrne is no stranger to Southwest Florida, nor is Maria Butina. Byrne recently spoke at a Save America Patriot Rally in #Bradenton in April 2021 with Mike Flynn, Roger Stone, & others. /5

Patrick Byrne also appeared on Sarasota-based QAnon conspiracy theorist John Michael Chambers' show online /6

That's the same QAnon conspiracy theorist, by the way, that hosted current Sarasota Sheriff Kirk Hoffman on his show on the campaign trail, as @TimothyJFanning reported /7

Several months ago local group Defend Florida hosted a 2.5 hour online forum with Patrick Byrne, Jovan Pulitzer, Gateway Pundit editors, Mike Lindell & others. It's been taken off YouTube, but it's still on FB. /8

Even Maria Butina once made a local appearance. She was on a panel at the St. Petersburg Conference on World Affairs in 2016, as @ByJoshSolomon reported for the @TB_Times in 2018.

Great article by @JaneMayerNYer that pulls together threads based on reporting from @anelsona & others on CNP, ALEC, etc. One thing national reporters still need is #Florida angle, particularly #SarasotaSeditionSquad. How to tell story of Trumpworld w/o Florida? You can't! /1
#Sarasota @HeraldTribune's @ChrisA0213 shows many local connections in his reporting. Cyber Ninjas based in Sarasota, plus Mike Flynn, not to mention Charlie Kirk, Steve Bannon & Florida GOP Chair Joe Gruters, head of RNC's "election integrity" unit /2

See several Twitter threads I've put together below for more information about the #SarasotaSeditionSquad & local connections to the Jan. 6 #CapitolAttack

Now that #SteveBannon’s recent involvement with Trump is coming to light after the #USCapitol riots, it’s worth reviewing Bannon's local Sarasota connections & his background, along with some other Trump associates. THREAD /1
bloomberg.com/news/articles/…
#SteveBannon, former Trump campaign CEO & former Breitbart CEO, has been plotting for radical right for years, exploiting a canny media strategy to co-opt mainstream media while pursuing his own alt-right media projects, as @JoshuaGreen found. /2
bloomberg.com/politics/graph…
#SteveBannon has long been at heart of radical right politics, including in leadership at the secretive Council for National Policy, along with Kellyanne Conway & Mercer family members /3

The Manatee-Sarasota area has many connections to the horrific scene of insurrection in Washington DC yesterday. Want to see? Buckle up for this thread: /1
The Manatee GOP expressed support for Josh Hawley’s objections to certification of the electoral college vote. /2 Image
Josh Hawley’s home-state newspaper says Hawley has blood on his hands for a “Capitol coup attempt.” This is who the Manatee GOP cheered on. /3
