#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/

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/

Sean Casten just learned that Mike Johnson was Dean of a planned law school named after pedophile Southern Baptist leader Judge Paul Pressler, who preyed on young boys. Wait til he learns that Ted Cruz was on its board. Pressler also gave Cruz one of his first endorsements. 1/ Image
Johnson's failed Paul Pressler School of Law was a major play by the religious right. Its board, formed in 2010, was full of the biggest luminaries in the fundamentalist Evangelical universe. Then in 2011, the obscure Ted Cruz was added. Ask him why. 2/

Image
The Paul Pressler School of Law was an intensely political project, meant to train lawyers to overturn US law, build a Christian-focused government. That's why its board were key names - and then Cruz. Many of these people have Jan 6 connections. They're still power players. 3/ Image

As Fox revisits Hilary's email server, let's do a comparative politics test. Question: why did the Jan 6 Committee have to subpoena phone records of Trump officials? Answer: because they were ALL using private emails and phones for government business. Yet no media covered it. 1/
Do you want to learn how Trump aide Vince Haley managed the 1776 Commission, worked on the Jan 6 speech, or negotiated Mike Flynn's pardon? It was on his @ newt. org email from when he worked for Newt Gingrich. Not submitted to the National Archives. 2/
govinfo.gov/content/pkg/GP…Image
Just look at the J6C's material: only a tiny portion is from the National Archives. Most of it is personal devices and personal emails, used by Trump officials for government business. Wildly insecure and also illegal. But sure, talk about Hillary. 3/

People missed the likely explanation for Trump's bizarre ramble yesterday, when he falsely said his uncle taught the Unabomber Ted Kaczynski. Trump is under huge stress right now about the Jeffrey Epstein files. And it's Epstein who claimed that he studied with the Unabomber. 1/
That detail came out in 2019. After Epstein's address book got released, reporter Leland Nally called the numbers in it, and got a wild interview with Stuart Pivar, who said he was a close friend of Epstein's: "Jeffrey once told me that he studied math with the Unambomber." 2/ Image
Epstein's story is a lie: Kaczynski quit teaching in 1969, when Epstein was in high school. But the interview reminds us again how odd it is that in 1974, after Epstein dropped out of college, he was immediately hired to teach math & physics at Dalton, a prep school. How? 3/ Image

A part of the Epstein nothing-to-see-here fiasco no one's talking about: what happened to the "army of FBI agents" pulled off their cases in March to work on the Epstein files? Pam Bondi made people move to DC, pull all-nighters redacting the files. Did they just.. go home? 1/ Image
Bloomberg: Pam Bondi demanded all the FBI's Epstein files, then ordered "hundreds" of agents to work on them (bizarrely via their personal phones). They were "holed up in offices at the bureau’s sprawling Central Records Complex". Are they still there? 2/
bloomberg.com/news/newslette…
The public should know what happened to Bondi's redaction effort, when and why (and if) the decision was made to send FBI agents home. And if she won't answer maybe one of those hundreds of agents is mad enough to leak. Keep your eye on who is next laid off at the FBI, too. 3/

As Hungary's Viktor Orban sucks up to Putin and accuses Ukraine of "choos[ing] war", a reminder, again, that Orban, Netanyahu, and Trump all owe their careers to the same US political operative - Arthur Finkelstein. Arguably the man most responsible for our dystopian times. 1/
Arthur Finkelstein was the dark master of the negative campaign, orchestrating facts-free and values-free assaults on political opponents. A gay, Jewish man who specialized in electing anti-gay homophobes. 2/
No one's explained yet if Finkelstein had a direct tie to Russia, but Finkelstein created Putin's bootlicker Orban, and Finkelstein is the one who brought Paul Manafort to Trump out of Ukraine where he was busy installing pro-Russia politicians. 3/

Yes, the NYT is shameful for sourcing an anti-Mamdani article from notorious white supremacist Jordan Lasker. But it's worse. Lasker, who they call an "academic", is a student whose only paper of note is INFAMOUS for unethical data use that got his tenured co-author fired. 1/ Image
Who is the NYT's "academic" source? Lasker is or was a PhD student at Texas Tech, but his only paper of note is earlier, from 2019: "Global Ancestry and Cognitive Ability", whose misuse of data triggered a major investigation and got Cleveland State Prof. Bryan Pesta fired. 2/ Image
The Chronicle of Higher Ed wrote about the scandal. It wasn't just that the article was "racist pseudoscience". It was that the authors misused data from the NIH and lied on their data application - filed by Bryan Pesta. A flagrant ethics violation. 3/ archive.is/KwbGyImage
