I spoke to the woman who reeled in Andrew Taake on Bumble here: huffpost.com/entry/capitol-…
“Like many singles in D.C., Claire has ‘almost always’ passed on potential suitors who lived across the river in northern Virginia. Her MAGA alter-ego, on the other hand, didn’t have any reservations about bros located in Arlington and Alexandria.” huffpost.com/entry/capitol-…
“I basically just [said], ‘Wow, crazy, tell me more’ on repeat until they gave me enough,” she said. “One of my friends was like, ’You basically got all these confessions just being, like, ‘Haha! Then what?’” huffpost.com/entry/capitol-…
“She turned on the ‘conservative’ filter, and she got to swiping. For democracy.”

“Claire had picked up a skill on dating apps that ended up being very helpful for finding insurrectionists.”

I’ll keep trying of course, but still not sure I’ll ever top this Jan. 6 story. 😂
No beer garden dates for Andrew T.! huffpost.com/entry/capitol-…
The kicker kind of wrote itself there, as it did with the Danny Rodriguez case. huffpost.com/entry/fanone-t…
(Fine, I’ll save you the click.)
Meanwhile, Robert Scott Palmer is set to enter a guilty plea on Oct. 4, a week from Monday. huffpost.com/entry/robert-s…
Pretty good kicker on that story too. huffpost.com/entry/robert-p…

"HEY, WE'VE GOT AN OFFICER DOWN THERE! GO! GO! GO! GO! GO!"

Here's another angle that shows #ThreePercentSheriff attacking the police as the Trump mob kidnaps an officer on Jan. 6.

NEW: Here’s body-worn camera footage of #ThreePercentSheriff (aka Ronald Colton McAbee) attacking the police line at the Capitol. A lot of faces familiar to the #SeditionHunters community here.

NEW: FreedomWorks has terminated an employee arrested by the FBI for his actions at the Capitol on Jan. 6: huffpost.com/entry/freedomw…
Quite a contrast between how FreedomWorks treated a lower-level staffer who stormed the Capitol for Trump and how they've treated Cleta Mitchell, who advised Trump’s efforts to overturn the election and was on that infamous call to Brad Raffensperger. huffpost.com/entry/freedomw…
The FBI affidavit doesn’t say it outright, but a careful read suggests that open-source sleuths played a role here. huffpost.com/entry/freedomw…

Judge McFadden locked up Fellows back in July:

The video was posted two months after Brandon Prenzlin entered the Capitol on Jan. 6.
