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.
Lots of high-quality images of faces that are of much better quality than surveillance footage.
Front line footage from outside the Senate chamber:
Coming up the stairs:
"THIS IS MY HOUSE!"

"THIS IS OUR HOOOOUUUSE!"
Here's the last of the eight videos. Pure chaos.

Read this piece, then read “Policing The Open Road” if you’re looking for yet another examination of the disastrous impact of car supremacy on American society.

“[I’m] a capitol police officer who agrees with your political stance. Take down the part about being in the building they are currently investigating and everyone who was in the building is going to [get] charged. Just looking out!” huffpost.com/entry/michael-…?
“Next time you want to come to DC just call me, you can stay at my house on the shore for free and bring your daughter to the museums… If you want to see the capitol building, lets do it legally next time... I know a guy who can get you a tour... lol.” huffpost.com/entry/michael-…?
“Person-1” isn’t named, but appears to be Jacob Hiles, who turned himself in on Jan. 19, took a “hit” of an unidentified substance inside the Capitol, and has an interest in fishing (he’s a fishing charter captain, in fact!). His sentencing is next month. huffpost.com/entry/michael-…?

NEW: Gary Wickersham of Pennsylvania, who may be the eldest Jan. 6 defendant, has pleaded guilty to a class B misdemeanor.

He’s an 81-year-old veteran living in a suburb of Philly, per defense attorney. (He was 80 when he stormed the Capitol.)
"The defendant believes that the entire event was staged, and that law enforcement purposefully did not have enough resources there so that supporters of the former president could overrun the Capitol and be subsequently labeled as 'intruders.” justice.gov/usao-dc/case-m…
Wickersham pleaded guilty before U.S. District Judge Royce C. Lamberth, a 78-year-old on senior status who is a few years younger than Wickersham.

A lot of reactions to this, but the buried lede is that the attorney general of Arizona is using the adjective as his title.
Calling yourself “General Brnovich” is like calling yourself “Generic Brnovich”or “Common Brnovich” or “Overall Brnovich” or “Limited Brnovich.” General is the adjective!
A reminder: Ted Cruz, as Texas solicitor general, once “begged” his wife to “just once” call him “general.”

I know this, and now you have to know this too.
