#SeditionHunters - the January 6 Committee now focuses on white nationalists / neo-Nazis, with subpoenas to Nick Fuentes (America First) & Patrick Casey (Identity Evropa). Fuentes spoke at all 3 DC rallies, VIP section Jan 6, brought over 200 of his Groypers to the Capitol...1/
Fuentes is deeply connected to the MAGAverse of influencers who brought people to the Capitol on January 6. The Committee's rationale includes rallies, Groypers, and strange foreign bitcoin donations... 2/
Fuentes left college after the 2016 Charlottesville march, hit it big on social media with a toxic combination of racism and religion. On Jan 6 his Groyper army invaded the Capitol with America First flags & Christian symbols (at R. they help lift the Jericho March cross). 3/
His Groypers are everywhere on Capitol grounds, moving in small clusters. You can identify them by the combination of crosses and vile language. Here are two from Nebraska, in Christian hoodies, screaming at officers: "Burn in f-ing hell! F-- the blue! Pieces of s--!" 4/
Fuentes is extreme even for the alt-right - he trolls Charlie Kirk of Turning Point USA as too mainstream! - but is strangely plugged in. On Nov 7, the day the election was called for Biden, Fuentes was one of the first to know about & promote the Nov. 14 "rehearsal" DC rally. 5/
Fuentes was a fixture on the Stop the Steal circuit in the 2 months leading up to the Capitol attack, appearing frequently with Ali Alexander and Alex Jones of InfoWars, speaker at many rallies. No one blinked when he advocated killing lawmakers. 6/
splcenter.org/hatewatch/2021…
Late on Jan 6, as police restored order, other STS figures frantically Tweeted CYA: "peaceful protestors" or "It was antifa!" But Fuentes was blunt: "This nonsense that today’s events were instigated by antifa has to be the absolute stupidest boomer bullshit I’ve ever seen..." 7/
After the Capitol attack, Fuentes called it "f--ing awesome" on Twitter. In Dec. 2021, the same: "I don't know if I should say this for legal reasons, but I'm gonna anyway. The 6th was awesome, it was fucking awesome." Time to learn those legal reasons. 8/
Updated deposition schedule, from @RubyWorms. The J6 Committee groups them by theme: Feb 8 is election fraud day with the Kraken 4 (Rudy Giuliani, Sidney Powell, Ellis & Epshteyn); Feb 9 is white supremacist day with Nick Fuentes and Patrick Casey. 9/
We now have the insurrection equivalent of a full house on our "9 Leaders Leading" page! DOJ has arrested all the top row, and the J6 Committee has now deposed all the bottom row. (Ali Alexander, also deposed, heads the Stop the Steal page instead.) 10/
Tracking #IamNickFuentes at the Capitol was a months-long manhunt by many #SeditionHunters - see megathread from @DianthaSol. His speech showed his intent: "We should not leave this Capitol until Donald Trump is inaugurated president!" (h/t @LCRWnews) 11/
Tracking Fuentes meant watching 100s of hours of video. The @January6thCmte also subpoenae'd Fuentes' partner in racism, Patrick Casey of Identity Evropa, citing his attorney as admitting "you were present on Capitol grounds on January 6 as well." Oh yes he was! Stay tuned. 12/

The Trump-appointed chairman of the panel approving his fascist arch turns out to be an architect who restores palaces in Russia, lectures in Russia, and publishes in Russia: Rodney Mims Cook Jr., son of a famous GA politician, a cartoonishly pretentious monument builder. 1/ Image
Image
The current version of Rodney Mims Cook Jr.'s floridly self-aggrandizing website lists five lectures or presentations in Russia (including at the Kremlin) and one at the Russian embassy in DC. He's proud of his ties (h/t @nycsouthpaw) 2/ Image
Another bio for Rodney Mims Cook Jr. (oddly, he's on the board of a Caribbean medical school) omits a talk at 'Spaso House, Russia' and a 2017 presentation at the Hermitage in St. Petersburg, but does include writings in Izvestia and Pravda. 3/ Image

The only bright side of the DOJ's disgusting effort to vacate the convictions of the Proud Boys who led the Jan 6 Capitol attack (they weren't pardoned, just commuted): now they can all be subpoenae'd to testify and can't plead the 5th anymore. They'd have to talk. 1/
The next DOJ dirty trick to watch for is an attempt to throw the pipe bomber case, to let Brian Cole wiggle out scot-free by casting doubt on the case. He's already filed a motion fingering an innocent cop. Expect Todd Blanche to do everything in his power to help him. 2/
The Jan 6 pipe bombs were deeply connected to many people including sitting Congressmen. No way do Trump and Blanche want any of that to come up in court. They will want that case to go away and if they will work the corrupt DOJ to make it go away quietly. 3/

It's great that autocrat Viktor Orban, the model for MAGA, was crushed in Hungary's election today. But prep for backlash: Trump's backers will rush to grab what they can before he falls too. Trump is already paying off the techbros by seizing SF's Presidio for them. 1/ Image
The techbros have dreamed of taking San Francisco's beautiful Presidio for decades; they want it for a dreamed-of libertarian "Freedom City" they'd rule. The plot is sophomoric and nutty but dangerously real. Trump's been helping them since 2023. 2/
bsky.app/profile/capito…Image
The broligarchs plotting to take the Presidio are among the richest men in America but @PoojaSalhotra's NYT article makes not one mention of them, saying only vaguely that Trump wants to "reshape the bureaucracy." 3/

For those still behind: Melania's Epstein presser yesterday ("I was not a participant") was almost certainly driven by Amanda Ungaro, an Epstein victim who had a child with Paolo Zampolli, who brought Melania to the US. Zampolli just got Ungaro deported; she's vowing revenge. 1/
Back in the 1990s Paolo Zampolli, a friend of Trump and Epstein, created "ID Models" and brought the young Slovenian Melania Knaus to the US. She hooked up with Epstein, then Zampolli introduced her to Trump. She's now your First Lady and seems worried about this past. 2/ Image
Zampolli started a relationship with a young Epstein victim, Amanda Ungaro, and had a child with her. In 2025, he decided to solve his custody dispute by getting ICE to deport Ungaro, then taking the child. She's now vowing to tell all in revenge. 3/

Let’s talk about Graham Platner’s Big Lie. In 2009, at the height of the Gulf War, the Marines barred him from active duty. Platner claims it was his forearm tattoos. But his one forbidden tattoo was the Nazi symbol on his chest. He left the Marines rather than give it up. 1/ Image
This thread is not about whether Platner is a Nazi. It’s about how he lies like a toddler when he’s cornered. And that’s enough. He’s not electable, and Susan Collins knows it. You can too, if you can read this thread, or this 18-page document. 2/
docs.google.com/document/d/1fN…
Back to 2009: Platner had finished 4 years active duty and enrolled in college, but quickly dropped out and wanted to go back to war. The Gulf War was raging; the Marines were so shorthanded they were recalling servicemen to duty. But they didn’t want Platner. 3/ Image

Newsflash: the men whose 2020 plan to steal the election was rejected as too crazy, are now tasked with stealing the 2026 election.

On Dec. 18, 2020, Trump vetoed Mike Flynn and Patrick Byrne's plan of seizing voting machines. He green-lit Jan 6 instead. But now they're back. 1/
Dec. 18, 2020 was the decision point that set the Capitol attack in motion. Around midnight, Flynn and Byrne were kicked out of the White House. At 1:42 AM Trump sent the first message about Jan 6 instead. But Jan 6 failed, and now Trump is desperate. 2/
Flynn and Byrne, the two key men Trump has asked to help him steal the 2026 election, were both compromised by Russian agents. Flynn dined in Moscow with Putin. Byrne was seduced by Russian agent Maria Butina. And now they want to steal your vote. 3/
