The Senate Judiciary Committee just released an "interim" report on efforts by the Trump admin. to pressure DOJ to subvert the election. #SeditionHunters findings on PA State Sen. #IamDougMastriano's Jan 6 actions are featured. (h/t @hockeynut0118) 1/
judiciary.senate.gov/imo/media/doc/… Image
The report - all 400 pages - covers actions by Acting Asst. Attorney General Jeffrey Clark. It includes the shocking finding that on Dec. 28, senior DOJ leaders threatened to resign en masse if Trump carried out plans to use to DOJ to pressure states to appoint new electors. 2/ Image
The report explicitly links Trump's attempts to "weaponize" the DOJ to the January 6 attack: they "created the disinformation ecosystem necessary for Trump to incite almost 1,00 Americans to breach the Capitol in a violent attempt to subvert democracy" 3/ Image
That number's in fact too small: #SeditionHunters know that close to 2,000 people breached the Capitol.

PA lawmakers aggressively tried to overturn their election - Mastriano sent a letter directly to DOJ. @PhillyInquirer is cited for reporting his Jan 6 #SeditionCircuit. 4/ Image

#SeditionHunters - is this the downfall of Alex Jones, the “king of conspiracy” (CNN), the most famous figure at the Capitol attack? He’d tormented the Sandy Hook parents for years; last week lost by default their multi-$M lawsuit. Will the law come for him for Jan 6 too? 1/
Alex’s reel shows how central he is on Jan 6: VIP section at the rally, marched w/ entourage to the Capitol (trailed by shouts: “Alex Jones!”), speechifed from the E. steps..& then decamped to a rented rooftop overlooking the besieged Capitol. He KNEW. 2/
rumble.com/vndge8-alex-jo…
Alex films himself so much we had to edit to keep the reel to 17 mins - but he must hate our reel since it keeps getting banned from YouTube. It's on Rumble now; hope to repost on the ‘Hunting Insurrectionists’ YT channel (itself shadowbanned -use link) 3/

#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/
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/…
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/

#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/

#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/
