Remember the New Jersey guy who contacted a FBI special agent whether there would be “Any fallout u think I should be aware of” for his decision to storm the Capitol?
The one who said he “air quotes, broke into” the Capitol?
He snuck in seconds before police regained control of the entrance from the mob.
Early on in the breach of the upper west terrace doors, two people propped open the door with stolen boxes so that other members of the mob could enter. #SeditionHunters will see a lot of familiar faces here.
At 5X speed, here's how the breach of the upper west terrace doors went down.

The government has provided videos filmed by Capitol defendant Brian McCreary, who pleaded guilty today.
Chief Judge Beryl Howell asked the government to submit the videos as evidence, and she really did the feds a solid here. Just a goldmine for online sleuths. Here’s video no. 2. #SeditionHunters
Because they’re submitted as evidence in a court proceeding, any media outlet can now use these videos, which offer an up-close look at the violence and chaos that day.
In June, U.S. Army Sargent James Mault reenlisted, swearing to “defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic.”
Months earlier, on Jan. 6, he’d attacked cops at the U.S. Capitol.
When James Mault rejoined the Army, his photo was featured on the FBI’s Capitol Violence wanted page, and he knew he was under FBI investigation (because he spoke them). huffpost.com/entry/james-ma…
Judge: "His re-enlistment in the Army came after the apparent loss of the job he had been doing in New York because of his participation in the events of 6 January 2021.”
When the FBI showed up to Tom Bostic's door to investigate his daughter Meghan Rutledge for storming the Capitol, they say he was wearing "the same blue flannel shirt" he wore on Jan. 6.
One of McCreary's co-workers from Domino’s gave the FBI a photo from the internet that had been photoshopped to include a meme in the background. It's a pretty legendary move that they're probably going to be bragging about / laughing about for awhile.
Sleuths also spotted this Trump supporter in a MAGA hat at pro-Trump events in D.C. in both November and December. Clearly antifa was playing the long game!
