#SeditionHunters - we told everyone that conspiracy charges would come for some not physically present at the Jan 6 Capitol attack. And now they're here - Proud Boy leader Enrique Tarrio has been charged. 1/
washingtonpost.com/dc-md-va/2022/…
Tarrio wasn't in DC on the 6th because he was arrested for an old offense, told to leave. That arrest has always been odd. We know Jan 6 was green-lit the night of Dec. 18th. Just before, Tarrio reached out to multiple media outlets to confess a crime...2/
docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d… Image
The indictment is an excellent read - it carefully lays the case for conspiracy via timeline, showing how events follow each other. On Dec. 19, the first announcements for Jan 6 go out. On Dec. 20, Tarrio makes an encrypted chat for Proud Boys leaders. 3/
justice.gov/usao-dc/press-… Image
Just as a reminder, Enrique Tarrio, chairman of the Proud Boys, is a protege of Roger Stone - picture is them together in 2018. Joe Biggs, who led the Proud Boys march on Jan 6, is a former employee of Alex Jones at InfoWars. 4/
miaminewtimes.com/news/roger-sto…
The indictment follows the timeline we had worked out, with some bombshell additions. The first: on Dec. 30, Tarrio receives a 9-page plan for the Capitol attack from an unnamed person. They all know this is big, serious: Donohoe calls it a "completely different operation". 5/ Image
Tarrio continues self-protective CYA, refusing to be specific about plans "until Jan 4", & ostentatiously leaves a voice message Jan 4 morning saying that he had, oh! only just heard now that someone might want to storm the Capitol! That's a man considering his legal exposure. 6/ Image
2nd bombshell: Tarrio was still working with PB leaders. We knew that after the arrest, other leaders created a new encrypted chat, fearing Tarrio's was watched. Now we know: on Jan 5th eve. Tarrio was added to the NEW chat, & Biggs, Tarrio discuss the plans they'd been given. 7/ Image
Proud Boy messages on the 6th are also informative. As the gathered PBs march around the Capitol in the morning, Donohoe texts "WE ARE WITH 200-300 PBs". #SeditionHunters had counted 235 of them. 8/
The new indictment adds more PB texts, making it even more clear: Proud Boys leaders were commenting on the action as it unfolded, and Tarrio was following. Look at the timing of actions (red) and messages (yellow) during the main attack period. Every advance gets a text. 9/ Image
One surprise: Tarrio's mention of the Rayburn (House) office building. We'd thought something bad might be planned for the Russell (Senate) office building, because OAN (not news but propaganda) was set up there. This post is 2:09 PM, just as invaders took the NW stairs. 10/ Image
The new details from Tarrio's indictment are added to the 'VIP timeline', not yet to other docs in bit.ly/Jan6Analysis. See those timelines for video links, tho. All are crowdsourced efforts by 100s of volunteers in the #SeditionHunters community. 11/
docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d…
Update: Tarrio arrested this morning in Miami, at his father's house: early AM, FBI agents hid in the bushes, then swarmed the house, put Tarrio in handcuffs - fully naked. See NBC Miami article for video; pic here is after they let him get dressed. 12/
nbcmiami.com/news/local/ex-…
Tarrio is such a public figure in Miami that new coverage should be great; just a reminder now of his deep connections. Here he is with Donald Trump Jr. and Kimberly Guilfoyle in 2019, from the FB of his fellow Latinos for Trump leader Bianca Gracia. (h/t @AuntBeethe1st). 13/ Image
On Dec. 12, just before the 'dress rehearsal' rally in DC, Gracia and Tarrio both got a tour of the White House. Gracia's well-connected herself - her son interned for Jody Hice, R-GA. On Jan 6, the line between attacker and attacked was very blurry. 14/
salon.com/2020/12/15/how…
Two minor corrections: 1) it's Proud Boy Rehl, not Donohoe, who calls Jan 6 a 'completely different operation' (h/t @visionsurreal). 2) some claim Tarrio was not fully naked when arrested (watch). Life hack: if under investigation by FBI, wear PJs. 15/

This headline about how Trump lied about nearly dying in a helicopter crash gives major deja vu. Sure, today he mixed up Jerry Brown vs. Willie Brown. But there may be a deeper brain scramble going on. Trump famously lied about nearly dying in a helicopter crash in 1989. 1/
Image
In Oct 1989, as Trump's casinos were edging into bankruptcy, 3 of his top casino execs died in a crash of a helicopter chartered by the Trump Org. The rotor simply fell off. Trump soon began telling reporters he was scheduled to be on the flight too. 2/
pressofatlanticcity.com/3-trump-execs-…
Image
Trump's story of miraculously cheating death got a lot of press, even though other Trump execs contradicted his story almost immediately. It was a big deal; it got national-level coverage. In an old man losing his memories, this helicopter story might still remain. 3/ Image

Since Trump has nothing new to offer, he can win only by smears and lies. That's why he hired Chris LaCivita, who "swift-boated" John Kerry with false slurs on his war record. LaCivita is already gunning for Walz. So let's talk about how to counter this swift-boat attack. 1/ Image
Realize; the target of the smear is you. It's harmless if it's confined to Truth Social or GETTR. The goal is to get YOU talking about it. So ideally, we'd just ignore LaCivita's lies about Walz. The problem is, media is now helping them. They're making the smear the story. 2/ Image
The NYT just handed Trump a huge gift, since LaCivita's entire goal is to control the dialogue, to force you to defend against his lie. So the only good response is to stay on offense. Don't let him make you chase the ball. Hit one return and then control the court again. 3/ Image

New info about Jan 6: the DHS OIG report confirms that Secret Service drivers were emailing about rumored plans to take Trump to the Capitol already the day before. On Jan 5, people knew. 1/
oig.dhs.gov/sites/default/…
Image
Fliers had circulated for weeks telling people to march to the Capitol. By January 4, Kylie Kremer knows that Trump would call on them to go to the Capitol in his speech. But the DHS OIG report is the first documented evidence suggesting Trump planned to go along too. 2/ Image
The OIG report seems wrong in places. It says Pence was evacuated at 2:12 PM, before the Capitol was breached. But Pence is still there: Sen. Lankford waves at him as he says "vice president". Pence wasn't pulled til 2:13 PM, as the breach was happening. It was so close. 3/ Image

Trump's big flop today asking "is Kamala Black enough?" also shows he's being given talking points. This theme was pushed heavily in 2019 by astroturfed ops, some tied to Russia, many later to Jan 6. It was part of a wider effort to divide the Black community over immigration. 1/
This attack was used against Kamala Harris in 2019 by a chorus of voices including Donald Trump Jr and Ali Alexander. We all knew it was coming back. In this timeline note how it goes with a divisive, astroturfed push for reparations for non-immigrants. 2/
Trump's inept attack today exactly rehashes the 2019 malicious influence campaign, almost word for word. It suggests the same players are at work today. Trump is an instrument for larger forces - some of them foreign. 3/

Interesting times in the presidential race when JD Vance is going to be IN PRINT praising the plans of Project 2025 author Kevin Roberts. Vance was installed as an avatar of these antidemocratic forces. Trump's campaign is beholden to his backers. Keep the focus on them. 1/
Peter Thiel shows up in the Project 2025 sponsor list, though as usual he tries to keep his name quiet. The "T" icon here is Teneo, started by a Thiel employee and his protegee Josh Hawley - they coyly show only a logo, no name. Leonard Leo now runs it; JD Vance is a member. 2/ Image
All these groups are linked. Next to Teneo is the Texas Public Policy Foundation, led by Kevin Roberts before he went to Heritage. In 2020, TPPF war-gamed out how to contest the election with Thiel avatar Jeff Giesea and the now-indicted John Eastman. 3/

Yesterday's Dem unity is wonderful to see. Fascism may be on its heels. Just realize that the forces against Harris are the same as those against Biden. Here's media from today. The broligarchs won't quit. And Putin's fight is existential now. People must stand up for her. 1/
Image
Image
There's really no daylight between Peter Thiel's crowd and Putin anymore. Elon Musk and David Sacks are spreading direct Russian propaganda. And Putin's only hope of survival is electing Trump/Vance. This set will throw everything against Kamala Harris. 2/
We should be optimistic. But we should also be prepared. What's coming will be ugly: misogyny, racism, lies. And, if the propaganda doesn't work, whatever else Putin can do to hurt the US - whatever divides and demoralizes. Unity and confidence and teamwork is the way to win. 3/
