#SeditionHunters - AUSAs and judges seem increasingly aware of / annoyed by fake statements of remorse by Capitol defendants. Here's a nice blow-by-blow of the sentencing today for a relatively minor perp, James Bonet: 90 days in jail, twice what prosecutors had requested. 1/
Also, a new arrest today of an old perp: #ChairGuy (#FBI107), one of the first to be hashtagged, is Ralph Celentano from Queens, NY. Among others assaults, he knocked an officer over a railing in the chaos as the W. Plaza was finally overtaken. 2/ justice.gov/usao-dc/case-m…
Celentano aka #ChairGuy doesn't seem to have militia connections or links to leadership on January 6 - radicalized individuals committed the worst assaults of the Capitol attack. 3/
You can watch the W. Plaza fall in sync'd video by @StevieG54099097 - clip here is the the police line being broken, just before #ChairGuy's assault; see link for full video. 4/

#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…
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-…
#SeditionHunters know the Capitol attack was organized. The J6 Committee knows too. Rep. Zoe Lofgren: "There was a planning. There was a purpose. And we are going to uncover all of that." Consider - if the attack had succeeded, how world events might be unfolding now... 1/
There are too many links between the Capitol attack & Ukraine. From Russia this week: Maria Butina, convicted foreign agent, honeypot with ties to J6 figures, now a Duma Rep, shows how to draw the fascist "Z" on your jacket to support invading Ukraine..2/
Maria Butina famously seduced Patrick Byrne, faithful henchman for former Lt. Gen. Michael Flynn. Here's Byrne at Flynn's side at the 'dry run' rally in DC on Dec 12. Six days later, both men were in the Oval Office pushing Trump to green-light Jan 6. 3/
#SeditionHunters & those who #StandWithUkraine can help by reporting long-time white supremacist Twitter accounts now posting against Ukraine. Here are Cassandra Fairbanks (then at Russia's Sputnik News) and Tim Cernovich making the white power sign at the White House in 2017. 1/
Here is Fairbanks (@ CassandraRules) today mocking NATO and U.S. military. She had been trying to analogize Ukraine and US borders. Fairbanks is now at The Gateway Pundit, supposedly US-owned but the sympathies are the same. 2/
Fairbanks has a bunch of re-tweets telling people not to believe "hyped-up hero stories" (e.g. soldiers Snake Island are still alive!). Meanwhile Mike Cernovich (not Tim, typo earlier!) , an open white supremacist, is busy blaming Zelenskyy. Report him: @ Cernvoich. 3/
#SeditionHunters and journalists: as Russia launches its attack on Ukraine we will hear - are hearing - U.S. public figures praising Putin. The same who also pushed the Jan 6 attack. Realize: the PR groundwork for today was laid over years. Here is Jack Posobiec last month. 1/
Posobiec, chief propagandist for the alt-right, is so obvious he's a guide to whatever op is current: election fraud, racial division, trucker convoys, war. Candace Owens is almost as reliable. Both ex-actors, 'platformed' in 2016-2017. Here's Candace & Jack last month. 2/
Last month was the signal to panic: Posobiec temporarily changed his Twitter name to "Jacek" in January and started posting about Ukrainian territorial integrity. He's a barometer for disinfo, a pure tool. But he represents many, not just 'influencers' but also politicians. 3/
#SeditionHunters - #GreenPlaidLady finally arrested, Shelly Stallings of KY. On Jan 6 she was with #PlaidBearSpray, Peter Schwartz of KY (the felon on probation who skipped drug rehab for DC). It's not going to be a complicated case (video h/t @MThymol) 1/
After spraying officers on the W. Plaza, their group moved up to the Lower W. Terrace tunnel. Here's Stallings exiting just behind Schwartz, after being pepper-sprayed. They're now jointly indicted, tho only Schwartz has charges for tunnel assaults. 2/
Here's the indictment, & video of another bear-spray assault by Stallings on the W. Plaza (h/t @CMominator). These folks aren't organizers or militia members - 'normies' willing to commit violence were key to the Capitol attack. 3/ justice.gov/usao-dc/press-…
#SeditionHunters have watched hours of Capitol attackers screaming "traitors" to US police; the same now happening in Canada. Video from Global News, at the Ambassador Bridge 10:13 AM Sat. The tactical vehicle is apparently Ontario police, not military. 1/
10:39 AM, police try to sweep the bridge. No riot gear, but at least two tactical teams in back. The Ambassador Bridge is (normally) the busiest international crossing in N. America and a key conduit for automobile manufacturing. 2/
As of today Ford's Ohio Assembly Plant (1600 workers, medium-duty trucks) is shut for lack of parts. GM sent shifts home early on Friday. 3/ clickondetroit.com/news/local/202…
