#SeditionHunters - a long-awaited Jan 6 milestone: the Proud Boys, engines of the Capitol attack, now have seditious conspiracy charges too. Over 200 Proud Boys marched from the Wash. Monument, rushed the first police lines, were there at every breach. 1/
washingtonpost.com/dc-md-va/2022/…
The Proud Boys were so integral to the Capitol attack that they were our first "reels". Here's leader Joe Biggs, former US Army, former media (reporter for InfoWars), pal of major US politicians - he links all the worlds. Full reel at link. 2/
There's a time error on that trailer; the rush of the NW Scaffolds was 1:50 PM. Just beforehand, the Proud Boys lined up to prep for the breach, leaders Donohoe (#YutYutPB) and Biggs (#JoeBiggs) gathered as well. 3/
The indictment charges PB National Chairman Enrique Tarrio (who skipped J6), recent recruit Dominic Pezzola (who breached the Capitol), and 3 of the "big 4" leaders on Jan 6. Charles Donohoe, who is cooperating, is not named - cooperation has rewards. 4/

Proud Boy #MaroonPB (Ronald Loehrke, USMC) isn't named, but was one of the most competent of the crew - he hustled around the Capitol to help with breaches on both sides. See thread and its links. The Proud Boys were integral to the coordinated attack. 5/
The indictment drops little new info that wasn't known from previous charging documents, but does lay out the day. To see the Proud Boys' planning in context, see our "VIPs and lead-up" timeline. Watch them recruit & organize troops - it's all there. 6/

#SeditionHunters - if you thought Peter Navarro's pro se court appearance today was a new low in J6er decisionmaking, Rudy Giuliani says "hold my beer". He's apparently hired as his PR agent Roger Stone's girlfriend, who spent J6 with Stone (via @dlippman). 1/
Here's Stone and Kristin Davis ("Manhattan Madam") with Pastor Mark Burns and crew in the Willard on Jan 6. 2/
Here are Stone and Davis with Pastor Greg Locke at the pre-insurrection VIP party on Jan 5th (h/t @PiperK). The Black Robe pastor Locke just lost or gave up his 501c3 status for preaching that Christians can't be Democrats - but seems hanging with madams and swingers is OK. 3/

#SeditionHunters - at the impeachment trial in 2021, we saw chilling footage of Sen. Chuck Schumer trying to evacuate and nearly running into invaders - he did a U-turn and fled. Now we know who he encountered: the hulking Proud Boy Joshua Pruitt, #BaldBulldog. 1/
Here's what Schumer nearly ran into - a massive, muscled bodybuilder, inducted into the Proud Boys only in November as they prepped for the Capitol attack. Read about encounter in Pruitt's new Statement of Offense - he just pled guilty (h/t @emptywheel) 2/
documentcloud.org/documents/2205…
Minutes before, at 2:28 PM, Pruitt (#BaldBulldog) helped lead the mob breaking the police line in the Crypt above. They seemed fixated on getting down to the Visitor's Center quickly. 3/

#SeditionHunters - On Jan 6 nearly 300 Proud Boys were the engine of the Capitol attack. Florida provided their leadership (Tarrio, Biggs) & the largest numbers. NYT describes how those FL Proud Boys have seized power in the Miami-Dade GOP. 1/
nytimes.com/2022/06/02/us/…
At least 7 Proud Boys now sit on the Miami Republican executive committee. Here's one of them, Gilbert Fonticoba, leaving the Capitol to high-five his buddies and tell them: "They hit me with tear gas - with rubber bullets.." Sound up to end. 2/
For pictures of the Florida Proud Boys who now have GOP roles, see thread by @MIAagainstFash. 3/

Frank Eathorne, chair of the Wyoming GOP, is - like other politicians at the Jan 6 Capitol attack - a liar: “No violence or property damage was observed during my..brief stop there” But Eathorne was at the Capitol for 2.5 hours and saw violence up close - we’ll show you. 1/
Because Eathorne was on Capitol grounds so long - with a radio - we held off Tweeting to try to understand more. But now that NBC is reporting on him, it’s time to go over his footage. This thread has highlights; see the full report for video links. 2/
docs.google.com/document/d/1WT…
Eathorne seems to head to the Capitol directly from the Trump rally, arriving around 1:30 PM, right behind GA State Rep Vernon Jones. By that time police are fighting hard on the Plaza and lobbing tear gas and flashbangs into the crowd. Everyone comments on it. 3/

The shooting in Uvalde makes it hard to Tweet about Jan. 6 right now. But there are awful connections: the same people pushed dangerous & divisive gun policies and election-fraud claims. From 2011, Russian agent Maria Butina worked to infiltrate the National Rifle Assn. 1/
Why attack America if you can get America to attack itself? Butina, employed by Russian govt. official Aleksandr Torshin, worked her way in, brought NRA officials to Moscow. It sounds insane but the Senate Finance Committee wrote a 77-page report. 2/
npr.org/2019/09/27/764…
Here's Butina with NRA President Wayne LaPierre in 2014. By 2015 she had dinner in Moscow with then-Congressman Dana Rohrabacher - who was in the Capitol mob on Jan 6. She started affairs with several high-profile Americans. By 2016 she moved to the US on a student visa.. 3/

#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/
