#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?

Today, a year after the Jan 6 Capitol attack, President Biden helped explain what has kept #SeditionHunters working all that time: "we are in a battle for the soul of democracy that by the grace of God.. we will win". And: "Let's step up". We did. 1/
The "battle" isn't just about the specific incidents on January 6, it's bigger - it's defending the concept of truth at all. Biden: "Tragically, there are lies - lies conceived and spread for profit and power. We must be absolutely clear about what is true, and what is a lie." 2/
The foundation of understanding Jan 6 is public video - 22,000+ individual pieces of evidence. #SeditionHunters have watched all of them. DOJ and Jan6 Committee now have private information too, but video is open to all - here are instructions. 3/

#SeditionHunters - as we near the 1-year anniversary of the Capitol attack, 2 resolutions: no more lies, & release all footage. LA Times just posted video that shows...Glen Simon (#PurplePantherPunk) of GA lied for his plea deal, hid assaults on police. (h/t @SometimesUsefu2) 1/
Simon was well-known inside the Capitol: he posted pix on FB, was reported in January, is seen in many videos. He pled guilty to Parading & Picketing (US 5104 e2G)... but didn't mention he was also one of the 1st onto the W. Plaza, fought police there. 2/
justice.gov/usao-dc/case-m…
As is usual, Simon's plea deal has an escape clause, allows charges for "any crime of violence" he committed. So he'll go to prison. But J6 defense attorneys - stop wasting everyone's time, hurting your clients (judges don't like lies). Tell the truth. 3/

#SeditionHunters - for the new year, as J6 cases crank up, the fabulous @RubyWorms is doing calendars of court developments. This week some big names. Today: Oath Keeper Kenneth Harrelson asks again for pre-trial release; the leaders of the first breach are arraigned... 1/
Tuesday is a sentencing for one of Nick Fuentes' #CapitolAF gang who quickly pled guilty, the teenage Leonard Ridge IV. (Note: NOT Leo Bozell IV, son of the arch-conservative and CNP figure). A clever move by DOJ, or premature given the AF coordination? 2/

On Wednesday there are status conferences for some groups who have conspiracy charges, including most of #Axehole's (Chrestmann's) #OrangeTapeGroup, highlighted here, and Sandlin + deGrave. @emptywheel has good lists of the conspiracy charges. 3/

#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
2/
12 Stop-the-Stealers - note these are only a small part of Ali Alexander's crew of dozens on Jan 6. 3/

#SeditionHunters watching the 3-hour tunnel surveillance cam video newly released as part of US vs. Nichols (now on YouTube), here are some pointers. The start times out as about 2 PM so it covers nearly the full battle, including key gaps in coverage. 1/
If seconds matter, the start is 1:59:52 PM, timed off #TunnelCommander's exit from the tunnel at 2:52 in our sync - you can see him grab for the sides to pull himself up: 2/
The first gap in coverage this new video fills is the crucial 10 first minutes, when attackers walked in & found that they were blocked. The first to enter were known only from the outside. (Photo here from #RustyCanuck, h/t @rocketman2001). 3/

#SeditionHunters: As Michael Fanone resigns from the MPD today, let's remember his insightful description of the "hybrid" Capitol attack: "This was an orchestrated event. Despite that fact that most of the people on the ground are buffoons, so what? There are 15,000 of them.” 1/
Fanone was nearly killed by buffoons. We know most people who touched him; they are self-motivated, delusional, not acting under orders. But they were brought to DC in an organized effort, and on Capitol grounds were steered and directed to pre-selected points of attack. 2/
Fanone's retirement made the Washington Post today. On Jan 6, the MPD was essential in saving the Capitol, but Fanone says “Clearly there are some members of our department who feel their oath is to Donald Trump and not to the Constitution” 3/
