#SeditionHunters following the developing story of VP-elect Kamala Harris & the pipe bomb on Jan 6: here are some resources to show the discrepancies. Politico writes that Kamala Harris was in the DNC building when the bomb was found, evacuated 1:14 PM. 1/
politico.com/news/2022/01/0…
On Jan 6, the first bomb was found in the RNC (Republican National Committee). USCP Chief Sund, in a Feb 1 letter to Congress, said the RNC bomb was found at 12:52 PM (widely reported), but the DNC one not til 1:50 PM - inconsistent with Politico. 2/
s3.documentcloud.org/documents/2047…
Events on Jan 6 were confusing, reporting was often scrambled, and the DNC bomb got less attention since the attack was ongoing. Sund is consistent, though, repeating the same timing in testimony to the Senate on Feb. 23: 1:50 PM for the DNC bomb. 3/
hsgac.senate.gov/imo/media/doc/…
Is there corroborating evidence? Acting USCP Chief Yogananda Pittman (who took over when Sund stepped down after Jan 6), delivered a statement to the House on Feb. 25 that said that the DNC bomb was found "shortly after" the RNC one. No specific time. 4/
docs.house.gov/meetings/AP/AP…
None of the timelines from the DoD or National Guard address the pipe bombs, since that was not their responsibility. Media on Jan 6 reported the evacuation of the DNC but without a time. The NYT wasn't even sure on Jan 6 that the DNC item was a bomb: 5/
nytimes.com/2021/01/06/us/…
The FBI is quite definite now that both items were bombs (see link). So do the discrepancies even matter? Yes, because they are too big to be a mistake or slip. And Sund was quite definite. Either Politico is wrong, or Sund is. And that matters. 6/
fbi.gov/video-reposito…
Deceptions always matter. Did someone deceive Politico? Or was it Sund? The day before the article, Sund posted a Tweet: "There have been so many lies told about Jan 6, 2021. Incredible misinformation fed to a divided nation." Sure sounds like something is up. 7/
The authorship of the Sund Tweet appears confirmed by Capitol Police Officer Harry Dunn. Kind of fitting for closing out an insane year that on the anniversary of the terrible events of January 6 we have yet another tangled mystery. 8/
Another source: review by two Senate Committees (Rules & Administration / Homeland Security & Govt. Affairs), posted June 1. Says: DNC bomb was found "shortly after 1:00 PM". It cites a USCP timeline "on file with the Committees", seemingly not public. 9/
rules.senate.gov/imo/media/doc/…
Keeping score:
* 2 votes Late (1:50 PM) - Sund Feb. 1, Feb. 23
* 3 votes Early ("shortly after" RNC bomb at 12:40-52 PM, itself unclear) - Pittman Feb. 25, Sen. report Jun 1 (from private USCP timeline), new Politico reporting (< 1:07 PM).

How is this still uncertain?

Everyone's talking about the bribery part of Trump's gift of a $400M superluxury airplane from the Emir of Qatar but no one's covered the security risk part. Trump will be doing private meetings in a vehicle provided by a foreign government. 1/
abcnews.go.com/Politics/trump…
Is it likely Trump's folks can effectively sweep that plane for listening devices? Trump's envoy Steve Witkoff just walked into a meeting with Putin using a Russian intelligence officer as his translator. They're not the sharpest pencils in the box. 2/
OK, some are raising security fears, just not in the published articles. Garrett Graff calls it an "unmeasurable risk" and points out: the president can't even accept a helicopter ride from a foreign government. He travels with his own helicopter. But sure, use a Qatari plane. 3/ Image

Ed Martin just got named Trump's "Pardon Attorney" (plus Associate Deputy AG). He does know the subject - in 2020, Martin brokered a pardon for Michael Flynn in exchange for Flynn's speaking at Stop the Steal rallies. Martin knows how to cut a pardon deal. 1/ Image
This 2023 thread covers the story. Nov. 4, the day after the election, Ali Alexander spun up Stop the Steal with Ed Martin as a top recruit. Nov. 7, Martin reaches out to the White House with a deal: pardon Flynn and he'll help with "base-rallying". 2/
People like to think of Michael Flynn as a villain but in 2020, it was Ed Martin leading. Flynn would do nothing til he got that pardon - a straight quid pro quo. But Ed Martin was all-in from the start, busily working to overthrow the rule of law. 3/

Trump just declared Harvard ineligible for all grants and the NYT botches the story. It's not that "Harvard.. relies on federal money..[for] its projects". It's the federal government that relies on Harvard for its projects. Harvard provides services for you, the taxpayer. 1/ Image
The NYT's phrasing is as dumb as saying gosh, your plumber relies on your money for HIS plumbing projects! What happens is the federal government puts out a call for research in some area, on YOUR behalf. Individuals then submit proposals to do that work. Just like plumbers. 2/ Image
The NYT article is astoundingly backwards. You'd think @alanblinder, an education reporter, would know better, if he'd ever lifted his head beyond admissions grievances and culture wars to consider what universities actually do. Unpaywalled link. 2/

Reporters: yes, alt-right gadfly Ivan Raiklin says crazy stuff, but what's most interesting about him is the backstory, how he was groomed to be an influencer. Because Raiklin is of Russian origin: parents are Russian emigres, brother a Russian scholar, wife a Russian teacher. 1/
Ivan Raiklin could have been on a list since his summer in Moscow in 2002. His brother Ben would be known from his PhD ("Stalin’s Documentary Filmmaking Industry, 1926-1946"). And Ben's insecure little brother, an officer in the National Guard, would be such a tempting target. 2/
We have to stop pretending far-right influencers appear spontaneously. They have histories: normal childhoods, then they're recruited into the game. It's rarely natural. Always ask: how did this person become known, who set them onto this new path? That's the bigger story. 3/

Stephen Miller confirms what anyone who studies Jan 6 knows: Trump's government wants to control education and impose a national 'patriotic' curriculum. It was OBVIOUS this was coming: Trump promised this in 2020 in exchange for support for his coup. But pundits ignored it. 1/
This account first called it in 2022. THE DAY BEFORE THE ELECTION Trump set up a commission on patriotic education. The people who led it - from Hillsdale & Claremont - then wrote his election-fraud lawsuits, arranged fake electors. They met on Jan 5. 2/
Education was Trump's barter with the religious right: public funds for private religious schools and a national 'patriotic' curriculum. It could have been stopped: Michigan should have indicted Larry Arnn, Hillsdale president, 176 Commission leader. 3/

Our new Navy Director of Communications watched the action at the Capitol on Jan 6 for Breitbart News. Her worst post might be this one: she flippantly captioned a video of people attacking the North Doors: "Things got a lil sporty here". To her it was a joke. Video tk. 1/ Image
Here's Wong's video of the attack on the North Doors. She can claim she was just a reporter, but her caption shows that she thinks an attack on our Capitol and officers is funny. @SECNAV: is this the message you want to send to the troops, who swear to uphold the Constitution? 2/
Actual reporters, not Breitbart hacks, should ask @SecNav John Phelan: why was Kristina Wong picked? Is this the right message to send the US Navy? That attacking our own Capitol to prevent the peaceful transfer of power is just "a lil sporty"? 3/
