NEW: The Jan. 6 participant Tucker Carlson viewers were told was “clearly a law enforcement officer” is actually an amateur mascot who runs around Busch stadium during St. Louis Cardinals home games.

He’s also a huge fan of Tucker Carlson.

“If I’m wrong, so be it, bro. I don’t care,” a Jan. 6 lawyer with a starting role in Tucker Carlson’s Patriot Purge series told me. “I don’t give a shit about being wrong.” huffpost.com/entry/tucker-c…
Here’s the guy who Tucker Carlson viewers now believe was an undercover law enforcement officer.
“We know the Democrats rigged this election. They worked behind the scenes to pull corruption over our eyes in the smartest way they could figure it out. It was flat-out stolen, and we know it. We don’t have to be able to prove it.” — #RedFace45 huffpost.com/entry/tucker-c…
“I had the rioter shield, and I was right up there… It’s like they followed my lead, kind of, and it turned out to be a great strategy because the whole crowd was doing that, was able to push further than we had gotten the whole time, the entire time.”
“Tucker nails it again! So true!” — the man nicknamed “Rally Runner” about another Tucker Carlson segment before Tucker Carlson aired the allegation that he’s an “agent provocateur” and “clearly a law enforcement officer." huffpost.com/entry/tucker-c…
~technically~ Rally Runner’s Jan. 6 trip was paid for by the feds.
“Let’s put his picture back on the screen,” Carlson said Monday on his show as an image appeared beside him. “Who is this person? Why hasn’t he been charged? That’s a very simple ask.” huffpost.com/entry/tucker-c…
Louie Gohmert picked up this agent provocateur angle as well (via @sfoguj):
Deep undercover, clearly:
“If this guy turns out to be some, some guy who runs around the Cardinals’ stadium with his face painted, then that’s great,” the Jan. 6 lawyer who tossed out the allegation on Fox News said. “If that’s the truth, then so be it, and God bless America.” huffpost.com/entry/tucker-c…

“Fucked those cops up."

The feds rolled out several Jan. 6 arrests today, including that of #BlackPufferWhiteScarf, who was brought down with the help of his pierced ear and wrist tattoos.
"Trump won’t be leaving for 4 more years.”

“stupid Biden will not be president.”

"I can’t believe I’m saying this but we are going to be at war.”

“Never will there be anything like this again bro. Might even get lucky and stomp some ass. Lmao.”

Plugging a photo into what federal authorities choose to call "an open source research tool" led to Tim Boughner's 2017 mugshot, but they already had a tip on him from January (although it wasn’t specific about his conduct).

DOJ said on Friday that Andrew Ericson’s belief that violence and destruction on Jan. 6 "was perpetrated by members of Antifa” dressed as Trump supporters shows a "failure to acknowledge the full consequences” of Jan. 6.

“Who is to say” antifa wasn't there, writes his lawyer. ImageImage
"Ericson was not the cause of January 6th riot, nor was he in the classification of protestors that caused physical harm to the Capitol.” storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.usco… Image
