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!
Meanwhile: Josh Williams, an American with reality-based grievances against his government, is doing eight years over a trash can outside a convenience store. huffpost.com/entry/josh-wil…

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.
NEW: The complaint against Cody Mattice and James Mault has now been unsealed. The role of open-source research is pretty clear here. (Thread) huffpost.com/entry/cody-mat…
