So, based on a close review of this indictment against Danny Rodriguez and Ed Badalian of the "PATRIOTS 45 MAGA GANG” out of California, it looks the FBI has identified #SwedishScarf. #SeditionHunters
The redacted indictment says that defendant no. 3 attended right-wing rallies in Huntington Beach and Beverly Hills and twice kicked the door inside the Capitol. documentcloud.org/documents/2111…
Meanwhile we’re still waiting on filings from DOJ and Danny Rodriguez to see whether they’ll object to releasing video of Rodriguez’s confessing to electroshocking Officer Mike Fanone.
Our original story on Danny Rodriguez in February, featuring some of his Telegram messages: huffpost.com/entry/fanone-t…
Suspected as much, but can confirm that PERSON ONE in the indictment is Gina Bisignano, the Beverly Hills salon owner. Some background from @emptywheel: emptywheel.net/2021/11/08/if-…
Gina slipped up and said “Ed” on InfoWars, instead of “Turbo” as he wanted to be called.
Here's the video of Gina slipping and referring to "Turbo" as "Ed."
After that slip up, Danny Rodriguez, Ed Badalian and defendant 3 (likely #swedishscarf) show up to Gina Bisignano’s house. Defendant 3 unplugs the Alexa and starts miming.

Capitol attack defendant Lisa Anne Homer was arrested in Colorado Springs on Friday. The feds found a profile image of her wearing the same "LIONS NOT SHEEP” hat that she wore on Jan. 6. Case unsealed today.
Not linking to the FBI affidavit at the moment because it contains a lot of unredacted personal info, but here’s a rundown:
The Google search warrant gives them her movements inside the Capitol, and they get her flight records.
They spot her in the New York Times Jan. 6 video on the front lines of the attack:
Following a request by the Press Coalition, Judge Amy Berman Jackson has ordered that any opposition to the release of the video of Danny Rodriguez’s confession to electroshocking Officer Mike Fanone be filed by Wednesday.
The Press Coalition filed the motion the day that clips of the confession video were played in court. (Note: HuffPost is part of Buzzfeed, Inc.)
When the FBI questioned Danny Rodriguez about electroshocking Mike Fanone on Jan. 6, they told him “antifa, BLM, and the Huffington Post” were "telling the Danny Rodriguez story.”
THREAD: It's a shorter week, but here's what's on the Jan. 6 docket in the next few days.
Next up, at 1:30 p.m., is a plea agreement hearing for James Lollis Jr. before Chief Judge Beryl A. Howell. Lollis was arrested in South Carolina in September.
At 3 p.m., Nichole Prado has a plea agreement hearing before Judge Rudolph Contreras.
Also at 3 p.m., Micajah Joel Jackson has a plea agreement hearing before Judge Randolph D. Moss.
NEW: Jan. 6 bus organizer Frank Scavo sentenced to 60 days behind bars in his misdemeanor Jan. 6 case. Feds had only requested two weeks. He’ll be allowed to start serving in the new year. Judge Royce Lamberth also gave him the max fine: $5,000. huffpost.com/entry/frank-sc…
Senior Judge Royce Lamberth, a Reagan appointee, has joined Tanya Chutkan, an Obama appointee, in handing out sentences for Jan. 6 defendants that are harsher than what the government requested. huffpost.com/entry/capitol-…
As @ZoeTillman writes, Judge Lamberth felt burnt after the first Jan. 6 defendant he sentenced to probation went on Laura Ingraham and downplayed her conduct. buzzfeednews.com/article/zoetil…
Jan. 6 defendant John Lolos is going off on a rant about voter fraud during his sentencing.
John Lolos: “I see a window, it’s broken, people are going inside, yeah, I went inside, your honor.”
Lolos is going on a pretty batty rant, now claiming that “the smallest police officer I’ve ever seen in my whole life” was encouraging him to come into the Capitol.
He dismisses his agreed upon statement of offense: “We can stick to that version if we want to, your honor."
