In addition to arresting Capitol rioter Ed Badalian, the feds have identified #SwedishScarf, though his name isn’t public yet.

Both are charged along with Danny Rodriguez, who electroshocked Officer Mike Fanone.

The latest on the Jan. 6 manhunt:

huffpost.com/entry/swedish-…
“Liberty or death, gentlemen!”

“Hold the line!”

“Don’t surrender! Fight for Trump!”

“Push forward, Patriots! If you are gonna die, it best be on Capitol Hill!”

huffpost.com/entry/swedish-…
“at the capitol steps, it is going off, the people are breaking down the barriers, the battle has begun.” huffpost.com/entry/swedish-…
"He doesn't have a Swedish accent.”

"Yeah. It's just the scarf. I think that's why they're calling him that.”
According to the feds, #SwedishScarf went to Gina Bisignano’s house when they got back to California, unplugged her Amazon Echo, and “indicated through miming” that she not speak. She’s pleaded guilty under seal and is cooperating with the feds. huffpost.com/entry/swedish-…
"Congress can hang. I'll do it. Please let us get these people dear God." -- Danny Rodrigeuz in the PATRIOTS 45 group chat, per feds. huffpost.com/entry/swedish-…
“Omg I did so much fucking shit rn and got away,” Danny Rodriguez wrote in the PATRIOTS 45 group chat. “Tazzzzed the fuck out of the blue.” huffpost.com/entry/swedish-…
Meanwhile, here’s the DOJ press release on the arrest of Edward Badalian, aka “Trump Ed.” justice.gov/usao-dc/pr/cal…
Still waiting on #SwedishScarf’s name. huffpost.com/entry/swedish-…
Here’s where Gina slipped and called Ed Badalian “Ed” during an InfoWars segment instead of “Turbo,” as he wanted to be called.
“I survived the taking of the US Capitol and got this tshirt With picture of the capital.” huffpost.com/entry/fanone-t…
Our story identifying Danny Rodriguez back in February got at the connections between Danny, Gina, “Trump Ed,” and #SwedishScarf. huffpost.com/entry/fanone-t…
Here’s how Bisignano’s cooperation has paid off for the FBI so far:
“FBI har identifierat mannen med Skellefteåhalsduken” svt.se/nyheter/lokalt…
This is after #SwedishScarf lost his original scarf in the near the tunnel and wore the American scarf:
#SwedishScarf also showed up to the Virginia AirBnB where Danny Rodriguez and Ed Badalian were staying, as Rodriguez told the FBI. The indictment states that #SwedishScarf flew out to DC but drove back in the van with Rodriguez.

Re: The 6th

"there really is no centralized role in this for Defense or the Federal government components. This sits squarely in MPD's realm. I'm trying to tamp this down with the Deputy like I have the last couple of protests but this one may be different..." Image
From the latest batch of FBI emails on Jan. 6:

"It's her very first day in this position. He didn't tell her what the document was, or who wrote it, unfortunately and then went back to the 7th floor for more meetings..."

THREAD: Over two years ago, a Jan. 6 defendant told a court that he'd witnessed Oath Keepers founder Stewart Rhodes (now serving an 18 year seditious conspiracy sentence) that he'd witnessed Rhodes try to contact Donald Trump during the Capitol attack.
That Jan. 6 defendant, William Todd Wilson, admitted that he heard Rhodes “repeatedly implore" an unidentified party he was speaking with "to tell President Trump to call upon groups like the Oath Keepers to forcibly oppose a transfer of power." nbcnews.com/politics/justi…
Rhodes himself was convicted at trial and, in May 2023, sentenced to 18 years in federal prison. But that phone call wasn't a focus for prosecutors.

Dissent: the majority “invents an atextual, ahistorical, and unjustifiable immunity that puts the President above the law.” Image
"The Court effectively creates a law-free zone around the President, upsetting the status quo that has existed since the Founding."

🚨🚨🚨

The only man known to have participated in both the News Fight in Anchorman (2004) and the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol (2021) plans to plead guilty on July 8, per court docket.
He doesn’t count for any “law enforcement officers who stormed the Capitol” stats, but he’s certainly played a cop a bunch! nbcnews.com/politics/justi…
