#SeditionHunters - a long-awaited arrest today for assault on the press on Jan 6. Rod Milstreed, #UnderArmorDarkShades, tied to the Proud Boys, was one of the first to attack AP photographer John Minchillo. He's in camo at 0:08 in this video (from AP). 1/
Court docs for Milstreed were filed in Denver, though he's from Maryland - as reported by @jeremyjojola and @MacFarlaneNews. Will post updates when docs are public. 2/
Of Minchillo's attackers, 3 have now been arrested (#UnderArmorDarkShades, #CamoCrazyEyes, and #GreyBeanieMeanie). #GreenBandanaMan is still at large. And the folks who helped Minchillo ... also deserve arrest. See thread. 3/
Here's another felony by Milstreed: throwing a tear-gas canister back at police. Same location and close in time to the assault on AP; found by the great @CMominator. Note that Milstreed's hashtag is spelled two ways, try also #UnderArmourDarkShades. /4
While we wait on court docs, here are some pics from Milstreed's Facebook. Seems to spend a lot of time in the weight room - this is what photojournalists had to face on Jan 6. Protecting the press is fundamental for democracy. 5/

Looks like press-hater Milstreed got some new tattoos, the latest in a Celtic / Norse theme - often used by white supremacists but not exclusively so. From @22ColeRin. 6/
Court docs available now for Milstreed (#UnderArmorDarkShades). Very thorough - FBI lists the press attack plus 3 separate assaults on police, including the thrown tear gas. This pic is ~1:11 PM, the frightening first moments when police seemed overrun. 7/

Milstreed posted about his connections to Proud Boys, but didn't seem to coordinate with them on Capitol grounds. FBI makes clear that he intended violence. The day the election was called for Biden, he posted this picture and "Gonna get ugly when they overturn these v[o]tes" 8/
Typo: Milstreed's post is from Nov. 9th, two days after the election was called on Nov 7th. That's the day that the word went out about the first "rehearsal" rally in DC the next week, militia began to organize, and Trump fired his Secretary of Defense. 9/

Journalists - now that Elon Musk, richest man in the world, is dabbling in extremist politics, can someone please fact-check his bio to resolve some obvious problems? This Tweet alerted me that Musk claims to have started a PhD program 2 years BEFORE finishing his undergrad.. 1/
Here is Elon's timeline from the San Jose Mercury News, which has him moving to Silicon Valley in 1995:
* 1989-1991 Queen's College (this is widely acknowledged)
* (no time stated) transfer to Penn
* 1995 moves to Stanford for a PhD program (but defers) 2/
web.archive.org/web/2020061010…
The discrepancy is obvious on Musk's Wikipedia page, which says both that he entered a prestigious PhD program in 1995 (not deferring, but starting and then dropping out), and that he didn't finish his undergrad til 1997 (dual degrees in Econ & Physics). 3/

#SeditionHunters - a new name connected to Jan 6 that hasn't come up before: GA Rep. Barry Loudermilk provided a day-before Capitol tour to someone. His GA colleague Rep. Jody Hice is tied to Latinos for Trump leader Bianca Gracia, who got a White House tour on Dec. 11... 1/
Here's Latinos for Trump leader Bianca Gracia re-tweeting GA Rep. Jody Hice on Dec. 21, as she calls for a mob: "Its going down in DC" (presumably her typo writing "December" instead of "January"). 2/

That makes 3 Georgia state reps. now with Jan 6 connections, the third being of course former Rep. Vernon Jones, who spoke at the Ellipse, then joined the mob at the Capitol. Sound on to hear him: "We're taking our country back!" 3/

#SeditionHunters - today brings the news that Charles Herbster, so close to the Trump family that he spent January 6 with them, has lost the Republican primary for NE governor. This excellent article from the Nebraska Examiner shows why this matters. 1/
nebraskaexaminer.com/2022/02/25/her…
After Herbster was accused of sexual harassment by eight different women, Trump traveled to Nebraska to campaign for him. Herbster was leading in the polls. But now he has lost. 2/
cnn.com/2022/05/08/pol…
Primary season will show see whether insurrection sells. Ohio saw a shock last week: the QAnon-associated JR Majewski, who at the Capitol Jan 6, will be the OH-9 Republican candidate for Congress. But Nebraska held the line. 3/

#SeditionHunters - you may have read Steve Schmidt's bombshell thread tonight detailing Paul Manafort's long-term efforts to aid Russia's interests - first in the McCain campaign in 2008, then Trump's in 2016. So let's remember Manafort's connection to January 6, 2021 too. 1/
Paul Manafort's company ran the Ellipse rally where Trump spoke, that brought 1000s to DC. But rally planning was late and started a mess: Jan 6 was not green-lit til Dec. 19th early AM, and by the 21st it was tangled in a power grab by Cindy Chafian to put herself in charge. 2/
On Dec. 22d - 3 days after green-lighting Jan 6 - Trump pardoned 2016 campaign advisor George Papadopolous (convicted for lying about his Russia contacts), also Blackwater guys convicted of murder. On the 24th, he pardoned Roger Stone & former campaign chair Paul Manafort. 3/

#SeditionHunters - NYT reports that a panicked Alex Jones (facing crippling lawsuits from Sandy Hook families and an increasingly aggressive Jan 6 investigation), is now offering DOJ full cooperation if they promise not to prosecute him... 1/
nytimes.com/2022/04/20/us/…
Jones will have to get more honest to make a deal worthwhile. He played a major role not only leading up to Jan 6, but on the day: he led a crowd to the Capitol, then steered them around the building to help build the crowd for the East-side breaches. 2/
Alex Jones is tied not just to the Jan 6 propagandists but to the attackers. Alex moved all day with Ali Alexander, leader of #StopTheSteal. And the attack itself was led by ... Alex's former employee Joe Biggs, InfoWars "reporter" turned Proud Boy. 3/

#SeditionHunters - the Jan 6 Committee now confirms what Jan 6 attackers shouted - the goal was to declare martial law. Read thread, & listen to Joshua Macias (Vets 4 Trump): "President Trump.. you have the strength, sir - the Insurrection Act is now!" 1/
The signs of a plan for martial law were always there. On Jan 3: all 10 living former Defense Secretaries issued an unprecedented public letter cautioning Acting Secretary of Defense Chris Miller against "Involving the military in election disputes" 2/
washingtonpost.com/opinions/10-fo…
Miller was abruptly installed as Acting Secretary of Defense two days after the election was called for Biden. That doesn't make Miller himself guilty - but suggests intent, & set off panic alarms for many. See our timeline. 3/
