A big arrest today, not an organizer but one of the first perps on #SeditionHunters's radar - #Fingerman, who flipped off the police after brutally attacking at the tunnel, notable for his U Michigan sweatshirt. He's Justin Jersey from Flint, Michigan. (h/t @michigantea) 1/
Here's the iconic photo of attackers around a downed police officer that started many people on #SeditionHunting. With today's news about #Fingerman, all hashtags in this Jan 22 post (plus many more) are arrested. 2/
The case is not yet unsealed but Detroit News has a few details. They talk about #HockeystickMan, also from Michigan and also part of that attack, but there doesn't seem to be a connection. 3/

Here's a sync video of the 4:26-4:28 PM tunnel attack, that #Fingerman was part of, using both video from participants and police bodycam. This was some of the ugliest violence of January 6 - stay tuned for a longer thread on it. 4/
Here is @MichiganTea's thread about #Fingerman - looks like MI folks made the ID. Interesting that 3 of the most violent attackers during the 4:26-4:28 PM tunnel attack were from MI: #CatSweat (Lansing), #Fingerman (Flint), and #HockeystickMan (Wixom).
#Fingerman was the 4th hashtag assigned by #SeditionHunters, on Jan 9th, three days after the Capitol attack: history here from @RiverFox1. The people who leapt in unhesitatingly to this work inspired so many, showed us how to start. 6/

#SeditionHunters - "arrest Friday" is back! Not just in numbers but in importance: the first arrest in awhile of a perp with an "organizational" role on Jan 6. But first, the colorful & violent #PinstripeBoilersuit, FBI #37 and #94, Josiah Kenyon of NV..1/
#PinstripeBoilersuit was ID'd within days of the Capitol attack: a witness told FBI they'd met him on the Washington Metro, gave his motel, ID'd from motel records. Arrests often lag IDs by many months, presumably to not overload the court system. 2/

And now, the biggest of the big game, hunted for months, the two who ran the breaches on West and East sides of the Capitol - #MaroonPB and #ZZtopPB. The #1 arrest priority for many, not the leaders of the insurrection but on-the-ground executors. 3/

Likely most people have heard how Twitter's new "safety" rules about posting pictures are being used against investigators - see WaPo article. No #SeditionHunters accounts affected yet, but it's safest to archive Tweet histories - tips to follow 1/
washingtonpost.com/technology/202…
Twitter lets you download a zip file with all past tweets, replies, videos, etc. In your menu bar, go to the "more" setting, click "settings and privacy", then click "Download an archive of your data". They will prepare a zip file; that takes about 24 hours, then notify you. 2/
To save important threads (yours or other people's), first "unroll" them with an app like the threadreader, then save the result as a pdf (see below). Note- if an account is suspended the thread disappears, the actual pdf is the only safe backup. 3/

#SeditionHunters - an urgent project. Last week Q-world melted down after Mike Flynn was caught leading an occult prayer. Now Twitter suspended @jimstewartson, who made the key video. PLEASE HELP - retweet, tag @twittersupport, protect investigators from malicious reporting. 1/
Below is a statement by @jimstewartson - he used a rude word, OK, but nothing compared to the vile stuff #SeditionHunters hear each day. It's manufactured outrage: video is powerful, & some people don't want it to be seen. Fight back by flooding @twittersupport with messages. 2/
The @January6thCmte has put those responsible for January 6 in a panic, and the last recourse of the guilty is malicious reporting to try to silence the conversation. We've seen this before: the Hunting Insurrectionists YouTube channel has been suspended over and over. 3/

#SeditionHunters were impatient for DOJ to back the Congressional J6 Committee's authority, but here is the hammer, finally - Steve Bannon now indicted for contempt for failing to respond to his subpoena. The precedent is set: answer questions or go to jail. 1/
Bannon of course was indicted and convicted once already, in 2020 for pocketing donations made to the "We Build the Wall" campaign. h/t @emptywheel for pointing out Bannon was pardoned by Trump only AFTER Jan 6, on the day before Biden's inauguration. 2/
justice.gov/pardon/pardons… Image
@NastyOldWomyn points out that Bannon's charges are criminal, not civil contempt: "punitive" instead of "coercive". That is, DOJ is not ordering Bannon to comply; they skipped the step of asking again, jumped to just punishing him for not complying - as a deterrent to others. 3/ Image

#SeditionHunters - one of the first Capitol perps hashtagged in January was finally arrested today - #ProudBoyCowboy, not just a fighter but an organizer. Charging docs (link to follow) suggest FBI is working out how to charge perps who assisted the attack in more subtle ways. 1/
#ProudBoyCowboy is Joshua Portlock of TN, identified in April by a co-worker - but #SeditionHunters helped detail his many activities. Portlock fought on the Plaza - bodycam shows him helping #BullhornLady pull barricades, & pushing police with plywood. 2/
justice.gov/usao-dc/case-m…
Besides new views from bodycam, charging docs show insight in describing Portlock's activities at the tunnel. As one of first to enter, he was at the front of police lines, where his cowboy hat got knocked off, revealing his Proud Boy beanie. But he's not the most violent.. 3/

#SeditionHunters - a must-read, deeply researched WaPo piece on the lead-up to the Jan 6 Capitol attack. Confirms its origins well before the election. Confirms that EVERYONE KNEW the danger: DHS even alerted hospitals to prep for mass casualties Jan 6. 1/
washingtonpost.com/politics/inter…
"While the public may have been surprised by what happened on Jan. 6, the makings of the insurrection had been spotted at every level, from one side of the country to the other. The red flags were everywhere." 2/
The article is hyper-cautious on one point: does not raise even a hint that lack of preparation could mean complicity. But this is the journalism we have been waiting for, for months. Wide-ranging, meticulous, and with the horsepower to grasp the scale of events: 16 reporters! 3/
