BREAKING: The feds have arrested two Trump-loving cousins who were caught on video attacking cops at the Capitol on Jan. 6: huffpost.com/entry/trump-ca…
#MississippiFlagGuy #KingstonAsh were identified by #SeditionHunters back in February. huffpost.com/entry/trump-ca…
Here’s Tommy Smith in a Trump beanie, carrying the old Mississippi state flag that features the confederate battle flag, standing in front of the National Museum of African American History & Culture. huffpost.com/entry/trump-ca…
"What a wonderful day and Washington” he wrote on Jan. 8.
The arrests are yet another indication of the huge role that online sleuths are playing in helping the FBI identify the Trump supporters who assaulted police and stormed the Capitol on Jan. 6. huffpost.com/entry/trump-ca…
Here’s Trump fanatic Donnie Wren photographed attacking cops: huffpost.com/entry/trump-ca…
Much like the charges against #ThreePercentSheriff and #CatSweat, #MississippiFlagGuy and #KingstonAsh were charged via grand jury indictment. But here’s a look behind the curtain at how they were IDed: huffpost.com/entry/trump-ca…
“We pretty much got our asses kicked by the cops then we kick the cops asses…. Patriots stood together and battled the tyrannical cops throughout the entire afternoon.” huffpost.com/entry/trump-ca…
There’s much, much, much more to come: huffpost.com/entry/feds-mad…
“You sleuths always manage to turn a foot into a leg, leg into a body, & body into a face… Add it to the charges.”
“Still can’t believe these pics made it so far LOL.”
“Front page again.”
“I hate to see a picture of myself with my state flag attached to a headline like this.”
Here was the breakthrough:
Thomas Harlen Smith has a court appearance in Greenville, Mississippi, this afternoon. He’s got a $10,000 unsecured bond and a federal public defender. huffpost.com/entry/trump-ca…
One of the guys who brought an old Mississippi flag featuring the confederate battle cross complained that he was asked to stop whistling “Dixie” at work.

NEW: Feds seeking 7+ years in federal prison for John Sullivan, which would put him pretty high up on the list of Jan. 6 sentences.

At trial, prosectors told jurors that he came to the Capitol with the "goal of inciting the crowd," and showed evidence he bragged he wanted to "make those Trump supporters f--- s--- up."Image
"Sullivan also told Sacker that his motivations were 'siding with anyone willing to rip this down and put something new in place, put something better in place. Pretty simple.'" storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.usco…
Image
DOJ: "As his campaign to sell footage to news outlets evolved, Sullivan suddenly began relabeling himself as a journalist—even changing the caption of his website from 'activist' to 'journalist.'"

Jan. 6 rioter Zachary Alam, the subject of an absurd @SharylAttkisson segment in October, is set to be sentenced tomorrow.

Sharyl didn’t actually cover Alam’s trial, but told her viewers that his indictment doesn’t “mention any evidence he’s a Trump supporter.”

In fact and reality, the press release she cited seconds later in the segment noted that he has a MAGA hat on under his fur hat, and there’s this from his mom:
There's just so much deception happening in @SharylAttkisson October 2023 segment that it makes you feel like banging your head against he wall.

Take that line about the how Alam's indictment doesn't mention "any evidence he's a Trump supporter."

Well, key basic question there, is it a speaking indictment?

Spoiler: Nope!Image

Last month, New York Times Magazine ran a feature story about Vanderpump Rules, a cultural phenomenon of which I was only vaguely aware.

I was intrigued. I started with Scandoval episode, then went back and watched all 10+ seasons, plus the new spinoff.

It was a nice break from covering Jan. 6!

Today, the wall between The Real Housewives universe and J6 came crashing down...

A former Marine “who firebombed a Planned Parenthood clinic in Costa Mesa, California, and plotted other attacks, including an attack on the Orange County, California, power grid in furtherance of a race war, an attack at Dodger Stadium during an LGBTQI+ pride night celebration, and the home invasions of Jewish homes in Los Angeles was sentenced today to nine years in prison…”Image
DOJ: "Defendant’s fellow Marines noted that he made hateful comments towards all non-white individuals, including Jewish, Hispanic, African American, and Muslim acquaintances, including, for example, openly using a racial slur to refer to one fellow Marine’s spouse." Image
“I need to get back into domestic terrorism.”

As former President Donald Trump continues to spew lies about election fraud, one of his supporters who broke police lines on Jan. 6 is blaming Trump's previous lie spewing for his conduct:
Image
Image
Joshua John Portlock's team writes that the Jan. 6 defendant would still have a "lucrative career at Mitsubishi Motors" had he not fallen for Donald Trump's absurd claims about the 2020 election. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.usco…

Image
Image
Feds are seeking 27 months for Portlock, who was wearing a "white cowboy hat with the words 'Trump 2020' on the front and 'Stop the Steal' in red letters on the back." storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.usco…

NEW: A California federal magistrate judge had denied a search warrant for conservative influencer / Jan. 6 defendant Isabella DeLuca's phone without explanation, so the feds are now seeking approval from a judge in DC to give it a look.
Image
Image
If you'd guessed that a Trump-supporting young would-be influencer who lived in D.C. had a lease in Navy Yard, congratulations, the redacted search warrant application indicates you were indeed correct.
