#SeditionHunters - as we ring out the year & 358 days of sedition hunting it seemed time to summarize what we’ve achieved so far. The community's found so many #SeditionVIPs it’s hard to keep track, so here’s a guide: 74 Capitol attack figures as the 12 days of Christmas. 1/

We’ll count them off as:
12 Stop-the-Stealers
11 Sore Losers
10 Candidates running
9 Leaders leading
8 State legislators
7 Bikers biking
6 Arrested streamers
5 Anti-vaxxers
4 Federal pardons
3 Angry preachers
2 CNP’ers
and 1 monstrous ego who can't let go

12 Stop-the-Stealers - note these are only a small part of Ali Alexander's crew of dozens on Jan 6. 3/

11 Sore Losers - sad figures who lost an election for U.S. Senate or Congress and are still fuming about it, now trying to overthrow elections instead. 4/

10 Candidates running - J6 insurrectionists now running for federal or high state offices. These are the folks who would help overturn the next election. 5/

9 Leaders leading - Nine who provided active leadership in the events of January 6 and in the attack itself. All are seen on Capitol grounds. 6/

8 State legislators - On Jan 6 eight state representatives were seen on Capitol grounds. Some like Vernon Jones were rally speakers. Some walked in with the Proud Boys (Biedermann) or came in armor (Evans). All seemed to expect that attack that occurred. 7/

7 Bikers biking - members of Bikers for Trump, Bikers for 45, and other similar groups were heavily represented on Jan 6, some providing rally security. All here are leaders or high-level figures in these organizations. 8/

6 Arrested streamers. We expect more arrests as DOJ works out their definition of "who is a journalist", but here are the most famous so far. Two from InfoWars, the rest independent. 9/

5 Anti-vaxxers. While many J6 perps are covid deniers, this group helped lead protests and rallies and have been drivers of the anti-vaxx movement. Two (Gold and Strand) have been arrested for Jan 6 already. 10/

4 Federal pardons. All these suspected J6 figures were pardoned by Trump between Nov 2020-Jan 2021. Three have been subpoenae'd by the January 6 Committtee; Manafort's company ran the Jan 6 rallies. (See justice.gov/pardon/pardons… for full list). 11/

3 Angry preachers. While many religious leaders seemed to find insurrection compatible with pastoral duties, these 3 are the angriest, loudest, and most nationally known of those who entered Capitol grounds. 12/

2 CNP'ers. The shadowy Council for National Policy, which mixes mainstream conservatives with far-right extremists, was heavily represented at the morning Ellipse rally on January 6, & at least 2 longstanding members played roles at the Capitol. (See splcenter.org/hatewatch/2016…) 13/

1 Monstrous ego who can't let go. While many figures helped produce the organized attack on January 6, and likely some more directly issued orders, it could not have happened without Trump. 14/

The 67 on the grounds here are only a subset of the backlogged #SeditionVIP list - 16 are totally new. Considered-but-rejected categories include "Grifters grifting" (too many); "Dirty tricksters", "Russian girlfriends" (too sensitive).. See jan6attack.com/individuals.htm for more. 15/
