#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/
storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.usco…
#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/

Newsflash: the men whose 2020 plan to steal the election was rejected as too crazy, are now tasked with stealing the 2026 election.

On Dec. 18, 2020, Trump vetoed Mike Flynn and Patrick Byrne's plan of seizing voting machines. He green-lit Jan 6 instead. But now they're back. 1/
Dec. 18, 2020 was the decision point that set the Capitol attack in motion. Around midnight, Flynn and Byrne were kicked out of the White House. At 1:42 AM Trump sent the first message about Jan 6 instead. But Jan 6 failed, and now Trump is desperate. 2/
Flynn and Byrne, the two key men Trump has asked to help him steal the 2026 election, were both compromised by Russian agents. Flynn dined in Moscow with Putin. Byrne was seduced by Russian agent Maria Butina. And now they want to steal your vote. 3/

WaPo reports: Trump put his receptionist Chamberlain Harris on the arts commission reviewing his ballroom. They omit: in 2021 Harris helped Trump move classified docs to Mar-a-Lago, kept some on her laptop. And once that went public, she wiped a 2019 trip to Russia off her CV. 1/ Image
Chamberlain Harris had a fast rise: from VP of her college TPUSA chapter, then a summer trip to Russia, then into the White House in just a few months. A bit over a year later, she was Trump's trusted helper who helped him pack up classified material. 2/
theguardian.com/us-news/2023/f…
Her career trajectory - TPUSA right to the West Wing - wouldn't be surprising in DC, except for how she started scrubbing her LinkedIn when the publicity over Trump's classified documents grab began. The first thing to go was the trip to Russia. Then the entire LinkedIn. 3/ Image

Alex Pretti's killers are identified by ProPublica. The man who shot Pretti in the back ("A4") is Border Patrol agent Jesus Ochoa. The man who instigated the confrontation ("A1") is CBP officer Raymundo Gutierrez. Not new hires: 8 & 12 years service. 1/
ProPublica is terse about the sourcing but says "government documents" - likely a leak. Public video, public outrage, and news coverage all encourage leaks. Now the next step is obtaining the footage from the bodycam that Gutierrez ("A1") was wearing. 2/

A pushback on this statement by @davidmcswane. Sure, it's hard to sort out what agent did what in the chaos, but many people have done it: this account, CNN, NYT, WaPo. Just be methodical, label & describe them, and work frame by frame. People need to see the full story. 3/ Image

The Epstein files show his wild geopolitical schemes, but realize: he was a huckster who conned his way up; his friends called him dumb. He may have been a tool. @TVolscho digs up early details: Epstein lied to get a Dalton job, got fired mid-semester since he couldn't teach. 1/ Image
The Epstein files show him reaching out to Putin in 2013 to suggest tearing up the world's financial system. But a friend said that Epstein couldn't understand the talk at his science dinners, so would blurt out "what does that got to do with pussy". 2/
motherjones.com/criminal-justi…Image
As Epstein's emails show the extent of his ties to global elites, we have to manage the contradictions. Epstein curated his image, working the press. He was a genius at the con. But he was not likely the creator of all the schemes he pitched. Who was? 3/

New video implies one of Alex Pretti's shooters wore a bodycam that day - and shows his face.

Two agents at Pretti's murder - "A1" (NS-919), the instigator who fired at his prone body, & "A12" (NS-909) - are now seen earlier attacking another observer. The bodycam is clear. 1/ Image
Image
There is no suggestion that agents have changed their identifier numbers. The details of A1 / NS-919's vest match on both days, though it's seen more clearly in the new video. build. His build is the same. The new video also shows his face, partially. 2/ Image
The new video is now linked in the summary document covered in this thread. (See Tweet 2 for link to Google Doc.) 3/

Bari Weiss is a propagandist, but not a talented one who knows how to tune her messaging by audience. She's now installed the bootlicking Niall Ferguson in all 3 of her vehicles: the University of Austin, The Free Press, and now CBS News. Same message, same tone everywhere. 1/ Image
CNN on the same Davos speech that Ferguson gushed about: Trump was "subdued", the speech "winding, antagonistic", "filled with grievances"; the crowd "restless". Ferguson, like many rw pundits, seems to have a Daddy complex, wanting to be dominated. 2/
cnn.com/2026/01/21/pol…
Anyway, that's what CBS News will be feeding their viewers now. It's so clearly going to flop that people are speculating the point of hiring Bari Weiss was to destroy CBS: that she's Ted Lasso without the charm, filling a mission to kill a franchise. 3/
