#SeditionHunters - a big one has dropped, the first major arrest of Nick Fuentes' Groypers: the neo-Nazi #SuitGuy, Joseph Brody, and his 4 friends (#SuitGuysFlock). This is a big one and some things about it are still embargoed - it will only get bigger. 1/
#SeditionHunters have maintained a mega-thread on this set since March 2021. #SuitGuysFlock walked in with Fuentes' Groyper Army (he brought over 200 followers) but then moved together all day: four young college-aged men and their older mentor. 2/
The iconic picture of #SuitGuy in Tweet 1 is by Victor Blue and was named one of Time's Top 100 photos of the year. He is as scary as the photo implies. Inside the Capitol, his flock following him, he reached the Senate floor. 3/

#WhitePufferBrat, one of the Flock members, is SUNY Binghamton student Jon Lizak, president of the NY Federation of College Republicans and a public figure in his own right, famous for suing his university in 2020: he felt he was 'censored' after a 'leftist mob' hassled him. 4/
SUNY-Binghamton students scuffled before a talk by economist Art Laffer; Lizak's group and TPUSA sued the college president. Figuring out what happened is hard since articles are mostly from one side. Lizak's vandalism on Jan 6 doesn't help his case. 5/
#SeditionHunters tracked and identified the whole Flock: Joseph Brody (#SuitGuy), Jon Lizak (#WhitePufferBrat), Paul Lovley (#BrownSweaterBrat), Thomas Carey (#MAGAPumpkinBrat) and Gabriel Chase (#BlackAdidasBrat). The charging documents are built on that meticulous work. 6/
On Jan 6 morning, Fuentes' Groypers gathered near the Washington Monument, then marched to the Capitol, chanting "we want Trump". #SuitGuy had his gaiter down. 7/
Photojournalist @sandibachom filmed the Groypers marching too, now chanting "Christ is King" and "f-k you journalist". The older guy in front with the megaphone is S. Calif. extremist Kim Sorgente (#BigBadSamaritan), arrested for assault at the tunnel. 8/
#SuitGuysFlock thought they were super-stealthy going covered up all day on Jan 6, but they went to the 'rehearsal' rallies in months before with faces uncovered, sometimes even wearing the same clothes. On Dec. 12 they marched with Proud Boys around them. 9/
Correction: Kim Sorgente, the older man with the Groypers carrying a megaphone & wearing a "Deus Vult" Jesus shirt, is tagged #BadSamaritanGrey. He & #BigBadSamaritan got their tags by falling on Rosanne Boyland at the tunnel - and walking away from her body without helping. 10/
The Jan 6 Capitol attack was fueled by a long, deliberate campaign of rallies and social media. Nick Fuentes (#IamNickFuentes) - who praised Hitler at this year's AFPAC conference - was a major player. His extremism was tolerated if he brought a crowd. 1/
Hitler-loving Nick Fuentes brought the 2nd largest group to the Capitol on Jan 6, after the Proud Boys. He showed his intent in his speech from the Peace Monument: "We should not leave this Capitol until Donald Trump is inaugurated president!" Conspiracy charges may be coming 12/
Footage in Tweet 12 is from @LCRWnews; search hashtags for much more. On Jan 6 Fuentes' Groypers spread all over the Capitol, often moving in groups with their flags. Since that day he's called the attack "f--ing awesome". But reckoning is coming. 13/

Can we ask why Trump's new hire for the Bureau of Labor Statistics recorded a podcast promoting Project 2025 IN FRONT OF A PICTURE OF A NAZI WARSHIP? @briantylercohen flagged the podcast but missed the Bismarck. Is any reporter going to cover actual Nazis in our government? 1/ Image
Compare the images. Who would do a podcast in front of a ship launched by Hitler, used to attack the US and Allies in WWII? Trump's appointees. People asked today, why did Trump pick the woefully unqualified Antoni for BLS? This is his qualification. 2/

See that forward gun turret right behind EJ Antoni, our new head of the Bureau of Labor Statistics? Here's Adolf Hitler inspecting the Bismarck in front of that same turret. We are way beyond dog-whistles. Antoni CHOSE to use Hitler's navy up as a backdrop. It was a choice. 3/ Image

Don't sleep on how telling it that Trumps prepares to abandon Ukraine by using Russia-loving Hungarian autocrat Viktor Orban as the excuse: 'Orban told me that Russia is too powerful'. Remember that Orban, Trump, and Netanyahu are the product of the same US political machine. 1/
Orban made his country the poorest in Europe, but he's the role model for America's neo-fascist oligarchs. Peter Thiel & Yoram Hazony's "National Conservatism" is full of Hungarians; Orban's adviser signed their "principles". Even the Economist gets it. 2/ archive.is/GJWuNImage
Decades of fuckery is the same people, over and over. Arthur Finkelstein's army of dirty tricksters (Roger Stone and Paul Manafort are his 'boys'; Orban, Trump, and Netanyahu the products). Russian influences pushing the far right in the US and Europe. 2/

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/
