#SeditionHunters - the @January6thCmte issued subpoenas today to 11 rally organizers, including the Kremers, Cindy Chafian, Caroline Wren, & folks from Event Strategies who helped with the Jan 6 rally. Event Strategies is part-owned by Paul Manafort... 1/
january6th.house.gov/news/press-rel…
Manafort chaired Trump's 2016 campaign, was indicted and convicted on federal charges relating to Ukraine after the Mueller investigation, then was pardoned Dec. 23, 2020 by Trump... 14 days before the Capitol attack. 2/
washingtonpost.com/politics/2020/…
Manafort has a long trail of cons, grifts, lobbying for shady foreign actors. He's also a pioneer of "black ops" to influence public opinion, including armies of Twitter trolls. Was Event Strategies' role on Jan 6 more than just setting up the chairs? 3/
theguardian.com/us-news/2018/a…
In the 1980s, Manafort & Roger Stone's lobbying firm (BMS&K) was top 5 both for payments to U.S. politicians & in the "Torturers' Lobby" report for working with human rights abusers like Marcos (Phillipines), Sese Seko (Zaire)... 4/

In the 1990s, two firms on that list, Manafort's + Gold & Liebengood, were acquired by a parent company. That merger has shadowed the Jan 6 tragedy - Liebengood's son, CP Officer Howard Jr., defended the Capitol that day, committed suicide days after. 5/

#SeditionHunters - today's arrest of former Green Beret & Florida Congressional candidate Jeremy Brown suggests that FBI now has a strategy for going after the semi-organized groups who arrived armed and ready on Jan 6, but remained on the edges waiting. 1/ ImageImage
Brown's Signal chat (L) shows intent to storm the Capitol; he called his group "Ground Force One". But, on Jan 6, while he was on the E. Plaza, he didn't attack. (The pic at R is him shoved BY police). How to avoid a defense of `selective prosecution'? 2/
extremism.gwu.edu/sites/g/files/… ImageImage
Brown's charging documents start with 11 pages describing the Capitol attack in detail as an attempt to stop certification of the election. Only on p. 12 do "facts specific" to him appear. He's quoted as telling police they're "violating the laws"... 3/ Image

#SeditionHunters - this week’s hack of the roster for the ultra-secretive Council for National Policy, “the most powerful conservatives in the country” (NYT), reminds us that longtime CNP member Jason Jones (#VIPCamel) was at the front of the East Capitol breaches on Jan 6. 1/
Anti-abortion activist Jones has been a CNP member since the last hack in 2014. ID’d in January, he was so brazen people thought first he might somehow be legal. Instead he may be the first CNP member arrested for Jan 6 actions - he helped pull down the barricades. 2/ ImageImageImage
On Jan 6, Jones began the day in the VIP section at the Ellipse near others later seen at the Capitol (labeled in blue here, including #IamDougMastriano). 3/ Image

#SeditionHunters - a mob of thousands marched on the Capitol today...of Brazil. Still trying to parse the story but the unpopular Bolsonaro seems to follow the U.S. playbook: attacks on state institutions & laws, massed crowds, manufactured spectacle. 1/
theguardian.com/world/2021/sep…
If there's any doubt that Brazil is copying the U.S, consider the costumes chosen. The sign at L is in support of Congressman Daniel Silveira, former military police, arrested for threatening a justice on Brazil's Supreme Court. From newspaper O Globo. 2/

Former Trump adviser Jason Miller was in Brazil, met with Bolsonaro, then was detained and questioned for 3 hours at the Brasilia airport, supposedly at the order of threatened Supreme Court Justice Alexandre de Moraes. 3/

#SeditionHunters - FBI has released chilling new surveillance cam video of #FBI174AOM and #FBI175AOM, who seem to lie in wait for the news photographer they attacked. 1/
Sandy Weyer of PA was previously arrested, potentially to aquire her footage of this same assault. These two (174, 175) have been a longstanding ID problem. Their deliberateness, the covid masks, the concealement, suggest more than just normies. 2/
And, face shots are available now from @seditionhunters. 3/

#SeditionHunters - we knew that PA State Sen #IamDougMastriano, former Army Lt. Col, was present at the Jan 6 attack, walked around the Capitol, & saw the NE barricade breach firsthand. Now @K2theSky and team show that he was on the E Plaza to watch the stairs breach as well. 1/
After Trump's speech, Mastriano rode a VIP golf cart from the Ellipse to the W. Capitol like the high-level #SeditionVIP that he is, then did a grand tour of the successive breaches. K2's team track his circuit. (Video by @CoryCullington.) 2/
Mastriano's golf cart meant he would have arrived in plenty of time for the 1:47 PM breaking of police lines under the NW Scaffold. He then followed organized instigators around to the NE barricades, crossed police lines in the breach, & stayed for the taking of the E. stairs. 3/

#SeditionHunters - last night's arrest of LA extremist David Dempsey shows the power of the crowd. He covered his face fully on Jan 6, viciously attacked at the tunnel. His tag #FlagGaiterCopHater announced Jan 19; his ID an obsessive quest for many.. 1/
justice.gov/usao-dc/case-m…
The call went out Jan 19 to match #FlagGaiterCopHater to photos from previous rallies, look for similar gear. Many of these extremists keep the same clothes, armor, have clear face shots on other dates... 2/
Feb 20 someone found a Jan 6 interview of #FlagGaiterCopHater next to the gallows, describing how he wanted to hang members of Congress. Still has his gaiter over his face. 3/
