Media & DC elites ❤️ DOJ Indictments & 🎥 calling out “stack” or “tactical column” of Oath Keepers used 2 walk up stairs & stay together. Here’s @DCPoliceDept doing same maneuver

Also note compliant protester asked by 👮‍♂️ 2 get down so he can stand higher 2 get view of crowd twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
@DCPoliceDept Lapitsky sees👩shove👮in Rotunda -14:59:24

👮responds w face punch b4 she’s restrained by coworkers

Man🗣️👮‍♂️: “Take care of that officer right now, she’s going 2 cause a real problem”

Fight 1m later,👮‍♂️throws punches on down protester -15:01:04

That’s Bigo🗣️re:🇺🇸
This tall @CapitolPolice bicycle officer on Jan 6 threw Dr Austin Harris out of the vicinity of @ForAshli Babbitt while he was rendering aid.

We know Lt Michael Byrd

Would be nice to know this officer too. ImageImageImageImage
This @CapitolPolice officer was at the top of stairs over @ForAshli Babbitt on Jan 6 after she’s shot

Trying 2 clear people out of Speaker’s Lobby 🚪, he yelled:

“She’s gonna fucking die! You wanna be next? Get out!”

We know Lt Michael Byrd’s name

Would be nice to know his ImageImageImageImage
Jan 6 15:47, u can hear over @DCPoliceDept radios in the @uscapitol Rotunda:

“All personnel in the west front, mask up!”

“9Line the roof, mask up! West front, line the rod, mask up! We’re getting ready to deploy another round of OC (oleoresin capsicum spray), pepper spray!”
📺 French news reporter from early Jan 6 (pre-breach) at East side of US Capitol. You can clearly see @CapitolPolice & @DCPoliceDept are already overwhelmed

Hundreds of protesters already at fence line; we count about 26x👮‍♂️

Completely unprepared

Cops have 0 crowd control gear
More 🎥 from @FormerFeds:

Zoom/crop of @uscapitol East breach through VERY thin @DCPoliceDept @CapitolPolice line

We judge initial breach consisted of 1 group (red) <5 people removing fence rail

Another solo 👨(yellow) 50 ft away pulling down a fence rail

Pathetic👮‍♂️presence twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
It is conveinent that @CapitolPolice do not wear body cams. Ray Epps’ presence & words aren’t captured on👮‍♂️ cam as he was in exactly the right place 4 the 2nd time, at point of breach

He was there at the 1st Capitol Grounds breach at the Peace Memorial

Need 🎥 from crowd Image
We’ve put together scenes of @DCPoliceDept gas misfire on @uscapitol north stands, west side steps, which gassed out back👮‍♂️line & leadership support on Jan 6

Synced “breach” video shown at @January6thCmte hearing in 🎥 2, that ONLY shows breach after gas fired; Cmte omits gas 🎥 twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
NOW compare AUDIO experience b/t:

@DCPoliceDept body cam from Officer Thau, though chaotic, even he speaks calmly to protesters & passes some 👮‍♂️s still resting as the crowd merges

@January6thCmte body cam evidence w police 📻, played 2 terrorize Congress & 📺

2 diff stories twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
It’s interesting that on January 6, the Proud Boys walked by Peace Memorial @uscapitol, & kept walking to East side, remaining behind barriers

Ray Epps, on the other hand, was at (and we would allege directing) the initial breach at Peace Mem, followed by breach 2 at West Steps
Jan 6 - East side of @uscapitol, @CapitolPolice give false impression to crowd that front line 👮‍♂️ were asking their leadership if crowd could go up to East steps & protest

Later, 1 cop tells crowd they can keep pushing; multiple 👊🏻 bumps w cops

🎩 @FormerFeds
Two pieces of 🎥 placed side by side that give a sense of the epic scale & size of the crowd on January 6th 2021, as people head to, & stand at the West Side of @uscapitol

Only several hundred out of tens or hundreds of thousands of people went inside

🎩 @JackPosobiec & @VICE twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
Ray Epps has been seen on @uscapitol steps helping shove a giant @realDonaldTrump sign into @DCPoliceDept & @CapitolPolice, & has never been arrested

An LA Times reporter caught him on camera afterwards, back in the crowd, talking to people twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
Remember the guy @DarrenJBeattie ✍️ wearing 🕶️ & red hat, smoothly taking down fence posts on the west @uscapitol lawn?

Well, on the north east corner of @uscapitol, man in grey jacket 👀, face covered & white cap removes “Area Closed” signs similarly

@julie_kelly2 @FormerFeds twitter.com/i/web/status/1… Image
So, north side of @uscapitol, & specifically NE corner of Capitol grounds is important for 2 reasons on Jan 6:

1) Pokes holes in DOJ “Restricted Grounds” for SOME territory (yellow highlight)

2) Low 👮‍♂️ security & fall of NE corner leads to East side @uscapitol breaches x2 ImageImage
DOJ indictments for trespassers cite @uscapitol as Restricted Grounds, highlighted in red

Metal bike fences were plentiful, but didn’t have “Area Closed” signs

These signs were installed on green mesh fences w metal posts, by order of Capitol Police Board for Inauguration Day ImageImage
As mentioned, “Area Closed” fencing is deliberately removed by few protesters, who clearly target fence posts & signs

We highlight in following walkthrough:

“Area closed” fencing = purple lines

Yellow = metal bike rack fences (no signs)

Red = restricted grounds line (per DOJ) twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
From @uscapitol CCTV 🎥, u see NE corner has bike rack fencing from walkway to road, on both sides of Delaware Ave NE, & along eastern perimeter of East side Capitol plaza

“Area closed” signs & fence along near grass perimeter only

NW drive, along Capitol, is completely open ImageImageImageImage
In fact, entire northern side of bike fence along @uscapitol has ZERO “Area Closed” signs

Bike fence on Constitution Ave, & along building’s “NW drive,” -which doesn’t appear blocked off- stands naked & permeable

Impossible to tell if public prohibited or lawn care issue ImageImageImageImage
U see in 🎥 along @uscapitol’s north side, & on Constitution… metal bike fences have no signs, but inner ring around grass, green mesh fence w “Area Closed” signs abound

How many people charged w trespassing on grounds never crossed over “area closed” sign/fence line? ImageImageImageImage
Back at Peace Memorial, after Ray Epps & co make initial breach, u can see 👮‍♂️ in white trucks aren’t enforcing Restricted Area

Again, metal bike rack fences have no signs

Only green mesh fence along Northwest Drive has “Area Closed” signage - already inside Restricted Grounds ImageImageImageImage
At Peace Memorial, u can see metal fence w no signs (yellow & blue) along 1st St NW, and @CapitolPolice letting people through w/out resistance

The mesh fence w “Area Closed” signs is behind (in purple) & clearly labeled

North edge of Restricted Grounds was unclear & entrapment ImageImageImage
Now… 2nd important part of the Northeast corner of the @uscapitol

The lack of @CapitolPolice & @DCPoliceDept on the NE corner will break the 👮‍♂️ line…

THEN, when protesters on East plaza of @uscapitol see NE breakthrough, THEY’RE inspired & push through

Capitol Steps taken ImageImageImage
First, let’s see the NE corner fall from the ground level

The green mesh fence and metal posts are torn down first, flooding protestors to the corner

More arrive from Constitution Ave; just a few protestors - like always - attempt and succeed at breaking the 👮‍♂️ fence line twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
Let’s watch the NE @uscapitol fence line break again, and then you can see the East plaza side breakthrough next

Consider how few @CapitolPolice and @DCPoliceDept are present compared to the number of protesters

This was embarrassing security, @uscapitol completely unprepared twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
1/2 Finally, 2 put @uscapitol East side breach together, let’s watch the CCTV 🎥 with all of these actions in mind, & witness the lack of law enforcement presence & preparedness

The lack of 👮‍♂️ & security measures seems deliberate … there was literally 0 chance at crowd control
2/2 Finally, 2 put @uscapitol East side breach together, let’s watch the CCTV 🎥 with all of these actions in mind, & witness the lack of law enforcement presence & preparedness

The lack of 👮‍♂️ & security measures seems deliberate … there was literally 0 chance at crowd control
Ray Epps:

1) First at breach of @uscapitol grounds at Peace Monument (yellow)

2) First at beach at lower Capitol steps (red), and

3) First at beach at upper plaza steps (blue)

Called/recruited ppl 2 go into Capitol Jan 5+6

Still free twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
Here’s a sequence of Jan 6 🎥 rarely put together, & NEVER by @January6thCmte

Remember 👮‍♂️ w a MAGA hat?

Here he is coordinating w Oath Keepers OUTSIDE the @uscapitol to go INTO building & help👮‍♂️trapped inside get OUTSIDE

Yes, some Oath Keepers coordinated a 👮‍♂️rescue mission twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
Nichols & Steve, two Oath Keepers and others would go into the @uscapitol at the request of a desperate @CapitolPolice lieutenant and rescue 15 riot-gear-clad officers and one uniformed officer trapped inside

You won’t hear that from @January6thCmte

theepochtimes.com/exclusive-reti…
Somehow @January6thCmte missed 🎥: @DCPoliceDept using shields & kicks 2 knock down woman on steps

She gets back up 2 top step only 2 have 👮‍♂️shove her down ENTIRE flight of stairs… THAT’s what makes crowd angry

She gets up only 2b pepper sprayed directly in 👀

His back primarily to👮‍♂️, cool & calm

Ray Epps is an unindicted free man; @January6thCmte & @AdamKinzinger’s model citizen

🎩 @FormerFeds
Ray Epps continue to loiter right at the front lines of the @uscapitol steps, calmly talking to members of the crowd

There are additional @CapitolPolice standing at that front line… We want to see the body cameras 🎥 📸 twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
CBS news correspondent @MacFarlaneNews added the large wheeled Trump sign thrown into @CapitolPolice on the west steps to his list of weapons during the “armed insurrection”

Ray Epps helped heave that sign into 👮‍♂️

Haven’t seen @MacFarlaneNews track Epps down for an interview
Ray Epps was in the crowd who helped lift up the Trump sign & push it into the line of police 👮‍♂️ on the West side of @uscapitol ~1:40 pm

(original 🎥 by Just Another Channel & Savanah Hernandez)

CBS News’ @MacFarlaneNews has yet 2 interview Epps, a free & protected man
On Jan 6 @CapitolPolice behind front lines stood above & sprayed likely pepper balls into the crowd

U can see they knew it was ineffective & useless

A female👮‍♂️blasts crowd below w fellow @CapitolPolice👮‍♂️right in line of fire🔫

It’s like @CapitolPolice role playing Call of Duty twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
Incredible 🧵

Multiple undercover DOJ officers in DC n Jan 6 on new @DCPoliceDept body camera footage

Check out @FreeStateWill 👇

Were these 👮‍♂️ at @uscapitol … or inside?
@DCPoliceDept retreated to upper levels of @uscapitol after fellow officers misfired tear gas on lower plaza and pushed 👮‍♂️ brass out. Crowd finally broke through police line.

Here this @DCPoliceDept verbalizes his frustration… he thinks 👮‍♂️ leadership set the line officers up
Really odd that Acting US Attorney for DC, Michael Sherwin, is undercover on Jan 6 w @DCPoliceDept brass…

It’s a Wednesday, a business day, at noon. DC 👮‍♂️ in uniform, and the DC Attorney isn’t in a suit? He’s dressed to blend in.

Showing goes on to prosecute hundreds of 🇺🇸s ImageImage
Undercover & armed DOJ agents on Jan 6 were stopped by @DCPoliceDept after being correctly suspected of carrying 🔫

Gave credentials (the woman didn’t) & all said they were armed

Are these faces at @uscapitol? Inside? What were they doing/saying?

What were their assignments? Image
Cam 🎥 of @CapitolPolice Carlos Mejia at report of men w🔫on Jan6 - men released bc inert novelty item

But ~50👮‍♂️on fake event; not @uscapitol

Why’s DC Attorney Sherwin needed? No 👮‍♂️role

THEN @ end Mejia begins🗣️about convo w CDR, but he &👮‍♂️turn off body cams

🎩@FreeStateWill twitter.com/i/web/status/1… Image
DC Attorney Sherwin opened Jan 6 prosecutions @doj

He said: “U are going 2b charged based on conduct only; not what u posted about election, not what u may have posted about diff political views”

💯 false: Social media & political views ALL been used by DOJ as evidence of guilt
🚨@CapitolPolice Jan 6 “lookout” team on🎥

📺 Play by play of @CapitolPolice lookout team… our suspicion 📖👇👀

White guy in green coat plays dumb, nervous chatter w cop at first… appears to motion/ tap black guy in mask on phone who looks back, spooked, gets to side. He could be on phone w cop behind him.

Jake Angeli, also known as QAnon Shaman of Jan 6, is seen on @DCPoliceDept Officer Luke Foskett’s body cam 🎥

Angeli walks right by dozen @CapitolPolice & @DCPoliceDept w/out even being questioned, impeded… NOTHING

Up the steps he goes, unimpeded, b4 reaching Senate floor
@DCPoliceDept’s Foskett’s body cam🎥

Lack of 👮‍♂️ prep; crowd just walks by

“We need Gerard Butler [from 300]; what’s it? Die Hard? I think we’re gonna need more FBI guys”

“Where can we start? Dude I don’t fuckin know. U wanna talk about getting caught w ur pants down? Wow!”
@DCPoliceDept Foskett and other officer on a January 6th:

“They’ve [the protesters] been pretty cool once we encounter them, right?”

“Yea, that’s, I mean, that’s their M.O. [modus operandi]”
@DCPoliceDept Foskett body cam 🎥:

Senior @DCPoliceDept to LT at 3:02pm on Jan 6

“I just talked to our Watch Commander, he said let’s monitor & not just let them trash the place. So I asked how hard to you want to hold this group?”

“We’re gonna hold them, we got it.”
@DCPoliceDept discuss @ForAshli Babbitt killed

👮‍♂️[Campbell?]: “I didn’t have my mask; Those poor bastards, they deployed CS & bear spray CONSTANTLY on them downstairs. Some of my platoon, everybody, CDR Kyle, fuckin’ insane. I couldn’t take it, couldn’t breathe, I had 2 get out”
@DCPoliceDept officer Foskett tries to track down @CapitolPolice unit who arrested & cuffed protester, now sitting on Rotunda floor

They have no idea

@DCPoliceDept & @CapitolPolice let him go & walk him out of @uscapitol

Does his lawyer know👮‍♂️have no idea why he’s arrested? twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
Here’s an interesting @DCPoliceDept revelation.

Taking inventory of munitions left:

Officer T. Du[mant?] tells @DCPoliceDept T. Miller: “I got 2x Sting Balls… that I forgot to turn in” 😉

Miller: “I don’t want to hear that”

@DCPoliceDept admitting to stealing cop munitions twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
@DCPoliceDept Miller does blame Trump, says not Antifa

BUT: “We shoulda had ppl up here, I’m very pissed. [Boss says] we’re not going, we’ve got clear responsibility, can’t send our guys in [@uscapitol] there’s ppl all over [DC] w🔫”

Fake🔫info🛑@DCPoliceDept being @uscapitol
From @DCPoliceDept Bodycam 🎥 of Anthony Alioto:

He sprays a protester who appears to be throwing a water bottle at police

Then another 👮‍♂️ follows up w more spray vs man, but proceeds to then blanket spray entire arc of people who clearly aren’t being violent

Little discipline
@DCPoliceDept Anthony Alioto Bodycam 🎥

At 13:40 on Jan 6, Alioto tells👮‍♂️to not allow Robert Glover, on scene commander 4 @DCPoliceDept, 2 authorize use of CS gas due to wind blowing gas right back at 👮‍♂️

45 mins later, ~1425, CS gas misfire forced police leadership off plaza
@DCPoliceDept Alioto Bodycam 🎥 Jan 6

Alioto 👀 everywhere 4 on scene CDR Robert Glover; “Where’s Glover at?”

Glover seems uncoordinated, distracted, disorganized

Alioto: “I just need u 2 stay w us & we’ll get it done”

@CapitolPolice & @DCPoliceDept can’t coord 2 retake plaza
2:05pm: Bodycam 🎥 of @DCPoliceDept Officer Anthony Alioto confirms CS gas authorized vs Jan 6 crowd

Alioto & other👮‍♂️continue 2 advise against use due 2 wind blowing back

2:25pm: Officer Thau 🎥 captures “Rich” misfiring CS gas, forcing👮‍♂️2 flee

@uscapitol steps fall mins later twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
As a side note… we noticed that @CapitolPolice riot officers at front line of @uscapitol west plaza sometimes consisted of 👮‍♂️ who were at least 1-2 feet shorter than average person around them

Probably the starkest example below, the officer 2nd from right can’t even be 5 foot Image
Also… the press basically made the QAnon Shaman an international figure.

How did the human 🇺🇸 🦅 skate by relatively unnoticed? ImageImage
@DCPoliceDept on Jan 6 front line of @uscapitol actually got into fights w each other & had 2b pulled apart ~ 1:45pm

Officer (name not legible) yelling at [presumably] subordinate:

“I tell you to do something, you do it!”

Sr officer notes this area of line is most fragile twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
It’s alarming that @DCPoliceDept Officer Thau dispensed pepper spray 2 ft behind @CapitolPolice & 1 ft below their heads

Thau tased multiple protesters, lobbed Sting bombs into crowd, saturated this crowd w pepper spray, & rushed Officer Rich, who misfired CS gas on fellow👮‍♂️ Image
At 2:16pm on @uscapitol west steps, @DCPoliceDept Officer Alioto calls Assistant Chief of Police, Jeffery Carroll (“Z A/C Carrol” on 📱)

Simple ask: more 👮‍♂️… [crowd control munitions] & pepper spray ineffective

“We need them up here, I wouldn’t call you if I didn’t think so” twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
At 2:19pm @DCPoliceDept Officer Alioto confers w 👮‍♂️, Thau, & CDR John Haines on possible retreat options

Haines furious at idea of giving up @uscapitol steps, but understands

Alioto & Thau discuss launching CS gas as far away as possible, “full mechanical,” then fall back twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
West Plaza falls: 2x body cam🎥

2:05pm: @DCPoliceDept authorize CS gas

Let’s focus on @DCPoliceDept deployment of CS gas at crowd on north end of @uscapitol steps/plaza

Alioto’s initial gas canister appears thrown BACK at👮‍♂️line, along w smoke 💣

Thau/Rich’s CS misfire at👮‍♂️line can be HEARD on Alioto’s body 📸 , clinking across ground at his feet
Where is the @DCPoliceDept body cam 🎥 of Ray Epps “trying to deescalate?”

They played it in Epps’ @January6thCmte transcribed deposition. Exhibit 13. Image
Epps said he took few steps into @uscapitol “platform;” [middle] scaffolding. PRESUME it refers 2 tower in center of plaza w “Scaffold CDR” & bullhorn

Where’s 🎥 of him helping man on Capitol steps w fibrillation? Helping 2 lawn & leaning on 🌲? Handing off to another medic? ImageImageImage
@DCPoliceDept Alioto 🎥:

LT: “Who threw it [CS gas] up top? That’s what I need”

Alioto: “Me, I did… & then they [crowd] picked it up and threw it back. They have the welder’s gloves. They have welder’s gloves so they threw it back”

CS canisters are hot & can burn when touched

Cops chat CS gas employed by Alioto:

“That was you? [Fucked up …] You got us! You don’t understand how bad you got me and Tara.”

Tara: “You [Alioto] chased us upstairs” [into the building]

Alioto explains situation reasonably

“Ya gotta do something”
@DCPoliceDept Alioto 🎥:

@CapitolPolice Officer w team & @ATFHQ tactical team comes barreling down @uscapitol hall outside House Floor w gun light on & 🔫 drawn

@DCPoliceDept Alioto 🎥:

Hit by pepper spray, he washes out👀, walking off pain at stairs

Another👮‍♂️checks on him & says “I got a good [📱 pic] here,” but only if body cam turned off

They take selfie; Alioto clearly pretends 2 wipe eyes, covering 📷 w rag; what pic did👮‍♂️show?🤔
@DCPoliceDept Alioto 🎥

Police prepare to gas entire crowd on West @uscapitol steps

Alioto again explains 2 @DCPoliceDept Inspector that crowd successfully threw back CS canisters; ineffective

What was then said? twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
Bodycam footage 🎥 from @DCPoliceDept Officer Lawrence Lazewski shows another angle on the front line of @uscapitol west steps/plaza, when the large wheeled Trump sign was pushed forward into 👮‍♂️

The same sign that Ray Epps helped move forward twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
@DCPoliceDept Lazewski body cam 🎥 sees Ray Epps on West plaza as👮‍♂️step out of scaffolding

Epps to👮‍♂️: “Hey guys, guys, they’re [protesters] not the enemy. They’re not the enemy. Appreciate u guys [👮‍♂️]. We appreciate u guys”

Epps in plaza 13:13:25pm; does it match testimony? 🤔 twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
This does not appear 2b Ray Epps’ @January6thCmte Exhibit 13 🎥 in testimony

#13 seems 2 imply metal fence at bottom of plaza/west steps still up, & he’s b/t👮‍♂️& protesters after arriving at steps - much earlier

27 mins after THIS 🎥 , Epps is pushing Trump sign at 13:40pm twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
After 📖~100pgs @January6thCmte Epps testimony, his story = helpful witness, wanted 2 deescalate, 💯 not tied 2 any LE/USG Agency

Problem: 🎥 drips out, shows him aware of 🛑grounds, trespass/parading, assaulting👮‍♂️w sign, & intent 2 go in Capitol on Jan5

@ryanjreilly says it’s insane. But not just 4 protesters like he 🤔

Vandalism obvious. Not disputed

@DCPoliceDept retreated to tunnel & locked themselves behind 1x🚪then opaque 2x🚪

Amateur. Dereliction of duty

“So they’re [protesters] breaking into the @uscapitol and they’re [police] not shooting them?”

This was the mindset of some @DCPoliceDept & @CapitolPolice

This is 17-19 minutes after he testified to @January6thCmte @AdamKinzinger he already left ~2:12pm twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
Here is Ray Epps @ ~2:33pm on @uscapitol west plaza

Five minutes after @DCPoliceDept line broke

21 minutes after he testified 2 @January6thCmte @AdamKinzinger he left @uscapitol GROUNDS & texted nephew

After a riot declared; after CS gas ☁️ deployed; after 👮‍♂️ retreat twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
It is odd that @AdamKinzinger @Liz_Cheney had access to so much @uscapitol footage and they never asked to confirm Ray Epps’ testimony that he left at 2:12pm

Here he is with the crowd at 2:33pm as @DCPoliceDept are backed into the corner and retreating to upper terrace 👇 twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
So now @ 2:35pm we now find Ray Epps - who WAS standing adjacent to the center media scaffolding tower b4 👮‍♂️ line broke @ 2:27pm - has broken through w crowd & cornering @DCPoliceDept in retreat

WATCH @ 11:21am as the 🎥 zooms in on Peace Memorial barrier

There is ONE @CapitolPolice 👮‍♂️… ONE

This is site of 1st Capitol Grounds breach w Ray Epps & Ryan Samsel ImageImageImage
Why do you think the FBI & DOJ left out the picture of Ray Epps whispering into Ryan Samsel’s ear (as originally published then removed from FBI’s J6 page)?

Epps isn’t in its Complaint & Statement of Facts vs Samsel

Epps is cropped out. Just odd

justice.gov/opa/page/file/… ImageImageImageImage
Good reminder that b/t the FBI taking Ray Epps off the most wanted Jan 6 list & his testimony to @January6thCmte w @AdamKinzinger

Epps was confronted by @kyleisbased at his former AZ ranch/wedding venue (Epps recently sold it for $2 million)

Kyle was later visited by AZ FBI
Shortly after confronting Ray Epps in last 🎥 @kyleisbased was visited by AZ FBI & questioned. Came by friend @AmericanGreyson’s house too

FBI claimed they didn’t know Epps, a known AZ resident, on original FBI Top 20 Jan 6 list & old Oath Keeper leader (where FBI has CHSs) 🤔
When everyone from FBI Chris Wray to @AdamKinzinger & @Liz_Cheney dismiss 🇺🇸 citizens’ suspicion of Epps… rewatch Arizona FBI question @kyleisbased after he confronted Epps

Kyle knows they’re lying

FBI field office has files/CHSs on OKs

They play dumb & push Kyle, not Epps
Appears all u need 2 avoid misdemeanor & felony charges from Jan 6 is a few 🎥 clips like Ray Epps 🗣️ people to cede 1 step, continue holding ground, & 🗣️ crowd they made a point

Q: How many others got such benefits from FBI, DOJ @January6thCmte @AdamKinzinger @Liz_Cheney?

A: 0
We’ve long wondered how a @uscapitol lamp post at @DCPoliceDept line was knocked down; thrown at👮‍♂️?

Asinine tactics
🚨BREAKING🚨

Undercover @DCPoliceDept Officer body camera from Jan 6 shows:

DC Metro performed illegal acts:

-Crossed restricted lines
-Encouraged crowd to go into Capitol grounds, climb scaffolding
-Solicited help to climb scaffolding
-Joined crowd in cheers to rush Capitol

As many reporters like @ryanjreilly notes, many PBs wore bright orange caps in their groups as they decided not to wear their traditional colors ImageImageImageImage
You can clearly see in this undercover @DCPoliceDept body camera footage from January 6, that police wore bracelets for quick identification on @uscapitol grounds

This was previously noted in DC Metro guidance & Intel documents in preparation for January 6th protests ImageImageImageImage
Who wore it better 👷🏼‍♂️on January 6, 2021?

@DCPoliceDept undercover officers (in overalls/snow pants)?

OR

Proud Boys?

Keep in mind, while u see @DCPoliceDept illegal acts:

@tedcruz asked FBI:

How many FBI agents & CHSes @ Jan 6?
How many committed acts of violence?
Did any encourage or incite violent acts?

FBI wouldn’t answer. Now there’s film of DC Metro ☑️ several. What’s FBI’s new answer?
Video confirms that undercover @CapitolPolice were near both “Baked Alaska” and Alex Jones on the west Capitol lawn

This is well before Alaska went inside, and likely around when Jones told protesters to step back from LE and go around to East side where they had a permitted… twitter.com/i/web/status/1… ImageImage
Undercover @DCPoliceDept #2 with Proud Boys getup (orange hat) announces,

“I’m live”

To the body cam-wearing cop

That likely means he’s either got additional body cam video (which the public hasn’t seen) or that he’s streaming from his cell phone, which he’s holding out.
@julie_kelly2 notes that DOJ has already acknowledged these undercover officers and #1’s GoPro camera footage

Part of @DCPoliceDept’s ESU (Electronic Surveillance Unit)

But undercover #2 (orange hat) appears to be streaming “live” from his phone. Where’s that footage?
Undercover @DCPoliceDept ESU Officer #2 (orange hat) leans into oncoming DC Metro riot police coming in to reinforce the @uscapitol west plaza

He gets a baton raised at him; almost connects to his head

Was he looking, or trying to ID himself?
Recall that the media, DOJ, & politicians continue to showcase the Proud Boys “stack” tactic of staying together to be an indicator of their meticulous insurrection plans & overthrow of the USG

🎩 @stephenehorn & @FreeStateWill for correction…

Man encountered by @DCPoliceDept ESU Officer #1 on the marble Capitol steps was not another undercover police officer, but FI DUONG, who the officer met previously on Jan 6

In case it flew by, at same time @DCPoliceDept ESU undercovers #2 & #3 climbed north stairs, one protester also catches this pair

Perhaps an U/I team; red hat has GoPro on head, backpack man takes phone 📸 at police line

REALLY similar M.O. as ESU team

Estimate ~2:22-2:24pm twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
One of the great ironies of Jan 6 is Ryan Samsel (jean jacket & red hat) is 1st to push the fence at @uscapitol Peace Circle - the 1st breach

Undercover @DCPoliceDept asks if his dilution solution worked for her eyes

“Did that stuff help you?”

Female cop: “That’s good stuff!”

“I used it when I went Antifa. They actually gave it to me.”

… Remember when @DCPoliceDept cracked down on Antifa?

Yea, neither do we.
Watch as undercover @DCPoliceDept Officer witnesses back line/reserve officers rush to south side of plaza & fill gaps/push back a surge

This is EXACTLY what couldn’t happen after DC Metro’s Alioto & Khoury deployed CS gas on west side, forcing out 50+ cops from backfill/support
Upon departure from west plaza, we catch a few more glimpses of the undercover @DCPoliceDept Officer, who’s later seen in the @uscapitol basement ImageImageImage
@FreeStateWill’s new evidence:
@DCPoliceDept body cam of Richard Carter, who was lead 🚔 in @VP-elect Harris’ Jan 6 motorcade to @DNC HQ

We synced pedestrian 🎥 of arrival w new footage

Left @uscapitol 11:22am & arrive 11:25am

@SecretService outside as pipe bomb lay at bench twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
Interesting (dated) 🎥 from Sam of Infowars. Climbed same steps as @ForAshli Babbitt & undercover DC Metro. He calls it peaceful, then not peaceful protest

But look at his path, many took it - they walk by Police doing NOTHING

No verbals, no impeding; see what many experienced
Infowars’ Sam entered west side, north end terrace (1st interior breach), down hallway

In most coordinated, seditious overthrow attempt in history:

“We need an exit! We went 2 far. I have no idea where I’m going. I’ve never been in Capitol. Apparently we missed @uscapitol bldg”
As Sam walked up a staircase to main @uscapitol floor, right outside @SpeakerPelosi’s office, there are two @CapitolPolice doing NOTHING

Another @CapitolPolice Officer weaving through crowd AWAY from Pelosi’s office

Police were unprepared, inept; protesters saw cops do NOTHING twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
Sam turns around b4 @SpeakerPelosi’s office, & enters @uscapitol Rotunda

Crowd is jubilant, sightseeing, some resting

What do you not see?

There’s not a SINGLE @CapitolPolice or @DCPoliceDept in Rotunda

There’s no security anywhere. The lack of preparation is astounding
Former Infowars’ Sam Montoya took famous footage of @ForAshli Babbitt’s killing by @uscapitol LT Michael Byrd

4x @CapitolPolice already at door

4x SWAT on scene 47sec before she’s killed

6x Police surround her 20sec before she’s shot

LT Byrd free, exonerated by internal probe twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
Footage from about 1:17pm on the @uscapitol west side media scaffolding shows a stoic Ray Epps only feet away from protesters tearing down the black fencing that he crossed himself only minutes earlier twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
. @DCPoliceDept Thau’s early series of tasing ⚡️, shoving, and pepper spraying protesters caught from a higher angle

Thau is behind front line, weaves his way to front line and just behind dousing the entire crowd with pepper spray, having witnessed nothing twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
In a series of unfortunate events, the Officer in the white shirt gets pelted with a water bottle in the left shoulder

The riot officer in black picks it up and tosses it backwards blindly…

@DCPoliceDept Thau is hit with the bottle right in the groin by his fellow officer twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
Alex Jones was just a few hundred feet from the @uscapitol west steps, north end, telling the crowd to go around to the front where they had event permits

Telling the crowd to back off from LE

This is probably the best angle/perspective we’ve seen yet - zoomed out and in twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
Undercover @DCPoliceDept #2 & #3 captured on camera at north end of @uscapitol, west side, taking selfies against back drop of the crowd after climbing up north scaffolding & steps; encouraging crowd to push forward all the way twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
At approx 2:44pm, undercover @DCPoliceDept officers #2 & #3 appear to depart the @uscapitol west side, north end, where they had been taking photos

Likely walk to north side/end of Capitol ImageImageImageImage
J6er John Cameron was sentenced by Judge Thomas Hogan to 30d in jail & 3y probation

(subdivided 30d to 3dchunks, to serve on long weekends)

Pled to std Jan 6 misdemeanors, no violence

Watch how DOJ & @TSA now treats Jan 6ers with 4x “SSSS” terrorist threat designation at 🇺🇸… twitter.com/i/web/status/1… Image
Undercover @DCPoliceDept MARCHED WITH the PROUD BOYS on January 6

So the alleged seditious conspiracy was so threatening to 🇺🇸 democracy, that DC Metro embedded and marched with the group looking to overthrow the country… and did NOTHING?

You were never supposed to know this
Thomas Casselman of Walhalla, SC, was arrested as the subject seen in FBI BOLO #363-AFO on Jan 6

2 things:

FBI has not arrested Ray Epps, pictured here and ignored by the Special Agent

Note 3 tips suggested other people as #363; #SeditionHunters don’t publicize their mistakes Image
Why exactly are FBI Task Force agents’ names redacted in public documents for January 6 arrests?

Why are these sometimes public, sometimes sealed @KyleSeraphin @RealStevefriend ? ImageImage
Imagine if for oversight purposes, @Weaponization & @Jim_Jordan subpoenaed the geolocation data of all undercover law enforcement agents in the restricted Capitol “geofence” that’s entrapping hundreds of 🇺🇸 citizens

Would provide incredible insight

Won’t happen. @GOP is so weak Image
Why is the FBI & DOJ using different maps of the @uscapitol “restricted grounds” that grants subpoenas to telecoms for geolocation data & email/phone data?

This part of East Lawn 💯 open to public, not restricted by barriers

Yet warrants for phone & email records being made ImageImage
If it wasn’t abundantly clear to 🇺🇸 citizens, your digital presence is permanent, particularly on social media

Almost consider never deleting anything, Tech companies never do… Jan 6 indictments: @DCPoliceDept Michael Riley, who deleted FB DMs to a Jan 6er, were ALL recovered Image
The former acting USDA for DC, Channing Phillips, aka @28jazzman58, presided over 8 months of January 6 arrests and 🇺🇸 Citizen hunting

He applauded BLM during the “summer of love” riots in 2020; a clear anti-Trumper and Biden sycophant ImageImageImageImage
The former acting USDA for DC, Channing Phillips, aka @28jazzman58, presided over 8 months of January 6 arrests and 🇺🇸 Citizen hunting

During Covid, he wanted to empty prisons.

Under Biden, he worked to hunt down thousands of 🇺🇸 citizens to send them to prison for “parading” Image
Curious whether @DCPoliceDept manuals instruct or authorize the employment of pain tolerance munitions from grenade launchers at ~ 18 inches away from the target twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
After the police line on the @uscapitol west front was brown at 2:27pm, the FBI & @January6thCmte’s favorite Jan 6er, Ray Epps, walked forward with the crowd as @DCPoliceDept @CapitolPolice retreated

This was ~15-19 mins after Epps testified under oath he left Capitol grounds twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
2:35:44pm @DCPoliceDept Alioto threw CS gas at protesters who were around DC Metro on lower terrace during retreat

Alioto ends up gassing every retreating cop as CS is thrown back

There’s Ray Epps, retreating after walking forward vs cops

23 mins after Epps testified he left twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
On Jan 6 @CapitolPolice split radio frequencies:

@DNC “suspicious package” pipe bomb on “EVENT 1”

@RNC “suspicious package” pipe bomb on Ch 2 / “Main OPS2”

Capitol grounds & other response on “OPS1”

🇺🇸 deserves to hear everything. Release full day’s audio

🎩@HelpStopHate
@HelpStopHate has acquired 3 hours of @CapitolPolice’s “OPS1” radio communications on January 6, 2021

It covers the response to events on Capitol Grounds

You can 🎧 below:

rumble.com/v2hdu5s-u.s.-c…
Jan 6 @uscapitol terrace:

@CapitolPolice: “Get a @dcfireems unit that can stage on upper west terrace; I got multiple officers down with the OC [spray] blow back”

Officers knew employing OC into wind would come back. It did

Some in crowd also used their own OC vs police
On Jann6, one of the @CapitolPolice (call sign “400”) was coordinating less than lethal armed @CapitolPolice units staged above and firing against targets in the west terrace crowd

“We need the munitions!

Unload, UNLOAD ON THEM! [Protesters]

Take them out!” twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
This moment on @CapitolPolice radio “OPS1” when protesters announced inside @uscapitol

“We have demonstrators in the building!”

“Can anyone advise on the breach of the Capitol building itself?”

“Need units in response to Senate Chambers, we have a breach of the Capitol”
. @CapitolPolice @ Capitol rotunda:

“We need somebody to deploy munitions to clear the crowd, you need to have inside response to push out… that needs to be hard”

“ The Senate door has just been breached”
Jan 6 @ 2:24pm - @CapitolPolice report “explosions on the rotunda steps”

We don’t know what that is

You hear likely @DCPoliceDept Alioto command to “Deploy your [CS] gas” ~ 2:25pm, when @DCPoliceDept gassed themselves on west terrace

False report of shots fired on Senate side
At ~2:28-2:29pm, former @CapitolPolice Officer Tarik Johnson, call sign “405,” radioed in & asked permission to evacuate the Senate on Jan 6

He was never given permission

Tarik did it anyway

💯 of his story & video from Tucker Carlson is now confirmed by audio from “OPS1” 📻 twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
Former @CapitolPolice Tarik Johnson, “405”

He was on indefinite suspension for wearing MAGA hat to calm crowd & rescue trapped cops with Oath Keepers - he resigned & lost pension

He directed Senate & House Evac to basement, on trains, to safe rooms

He deserves Comgressional🎖️
At 2:43pm on Jan 6, @CapitolPolice “OPS1” calls for assistance on House floor for “shots fired”

This is almost certainly the shooting of @ForAshli Babbit by LT Michael Byrd

Later @elleonCEOTK officer Tarik Johnson continues to coordinate evac of House members through subway
However, confusion continued as reports of shots fired on the House Floor were not confirmed by other @CapitolPolice officers outside the House Chambers

Did LT Michael Byrd or other officers in the Speaker’s Lobby make ANY radio calls?

We’re waiting to find out
At 2:51pm, @CapitolPolice radio in a report one protestor down, “I got one down!”

@ForAshli Babbitt is taken to the south exit of the @uscapitol to an ambulance, which correlates to other video of her (and her blood trail) being brought to the south door of the building twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
After Ashli Babbitt is killed by @CapitolPolice LT Michael Byrd, the OPS1 radio dispatcher coordinates “Unit 6, Crime scene, CIS and OPR 15” to respond to the @uscapitol south door (where Babbitt was brought out)

2x witnesses to interview

Calls it “an officer involved event”
A fuller picture of @CapitolPolice Tarik Johnson’s (@elleonCEOTK) “MAGA hat” event on Jan 6

He tried to radio for bullhorn & evac cops in Senate

It’s Oath Keepers who help

He chastises other cops who seem oblivious to crowd already inside

He’s creative, realistic, successful twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
First time we’ve seen Ray Epps’ alleged departure from the @uscapitol grounds; appears to be helping carry another protester. He did testify to @January6thCmte that he carried someone away around 2:12pm

He was still at Capitol steps at 2:35pm

@wittycommittee @guyfaux98637517
After @DCPoliceDept Michael Fanone was checked out by a medic, some video not shown by @January6thCmte

Fanone apparently had been suspended before

Fanone & his fellow cop joke about stealing @DCPoliceDept pistol magazines, guns by reporting the crowd stole more than 1 magazine twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
James “Ray” Epps gave a short interview to Vietnamese foreign press on Jan 6, 2021
A longer cut of Epps telling protestor @uscapitol Peace Monument:

Epps: “But one more thing, when we go in, leave this here.”

Earlier: “Hey guys, don’t pick on them [@CapitolPolice]”

Don’t pick on cops, but then Epps breaks 3x police lines.

Helps encircle police @ 2:35pm
Daniel Goodwyn originally faced 20y in prison for walking into @uscapitol <1 min, being told by police to exit, & then departing. No violence, no destruction

Still facing 1 year in prison

8 people were shot, incl a 12yo, in DC last Friday

@USAO_DC is at Proud Boys trial though
Not exactly sure what guidelines @DCPoliceDept are following when a protester remains behind a fence line and approaches, but maintains a standoff, that cops should then lunge forward and shove them with batons
Another new view of @DCPoliceDept retreating from lower terrace at 2:35pm to upper level as the CS gas employed by DC MPD Alioto smothers the entire retreating force

Likely 100+ officers CS gassed AGAIN by own munitions, debilitating entire retreat
. @DCPoliceDept new angle of west terrace tunnel leadership ordering to “hold the door”

“If they [protesters] want some, give it to ‘em!”

How many police departments would fire their Chiefs and officers if they said something like that to a BLM crowd?

They’d pay out million$
Additional footage of previously identified undercover @DCPoliceDept on Jan 6, possibly shows him speaking with at least one other undercover officer in the basement of @uscapitol twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
The undercover @DCPoliceDept officer is seen shortly later, this time standing with the other likely undercover officer in a hoodie with large patch on left arm

This is the scene with protester John Anderson attempting to recover on the ground in @uscapitol basement twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
Taken together, it’s possible all three men are undercovers; however, there’s no apparent badge visible on a lanyard/necklace one of the men’s neck.

The man in the hoodie with patch is seen writing on his phone multiple times ImageImageImageImage
In an effort to improve @DCPoliceDept Officer safety, we’ve finally decided to post evidence that officers need training on not going to the bathroom without a plan if they’ve been exposed to pain compliance munitions or gas and OC spray twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
At 3:37pm, @CapitolPolice Officer, who HAD been bear sprayed previously, provided his updated assessment:

“Eventually it’s gonna calm. Most of the people that are sitting in the buildings now, aren’t doing anything other than just sitting in them.”

“Right”
In @uscapitol subway, @DCPoliceDept:

“We didn’t have a chance. [Trump] basically telling people to come rip this place down. Not enough people [👮‍♀️]

We got somebody shot upstairs. But it was one of them [protesters] shooting another one of them

I got a blowback pepper ball”

Listen to how hard Michigan Court is pressing defendants’ counsel in FBI FEDnapping hoax trial to not mention “entrapment”

FBI CHS started militia, paid for+did training, drove to @GovWhitmer’s house, made plan to send shell casings as threat; FBI agent sent Gov house pic to CHS
Michigan state prosecutors in @GovWhitmer FBI FEDnapping hoax trial tell judge that defense counsel is making entrapment legal defense, “poisoning the jury,” & he’ll robustly object

FBI paid one CHS $54K in cash, computers, moving & house sale expenses

FBI agents directing plot
Here’s the fuller exchange with the judge, after FBI FEDnapping hoax opening statements

The FBI had over a dozen CHSes, FBI agents, and paid tens of thousands to create a “plot to kidnap @GovWhitmer” … that would have never happened if the FBI didn’t run it

CHSes kept it going

@TuckerCarlson interviews former head of @CapitolPolice on Jan 6, @ChiefSund

Sund reveals @FBIWFO Director Steven D’Antuono had intel on expected Jan 6 violence for DAYS leading up to rally

FBI shared NOTHING with @CapitolPolice

Keep in mind, FBI had dozens of CHSes embedded
@TuckerCarlson with head of USCP on Jan 6, @ChiefSund

Sund reveals acting @SecDef Miller & @thejointstaff GEN Milley were so concerned of violence, they considered closing DC & revoking permits

EXCEPT they never told @CapitolPolice & Miller ordered @NationalGuard to be unarmed
@TuckerCarlson @ChiefSund @SecDef @thejointstaff @CapitolPolice @NationalGuard Former head of USCP on Jan 6, @ChiefSund, discusses WaPo reporter story on GEN Milley using @Dataminr intel platform to identify & warn members of Congress about possible threats

Milley DIDN’T tell @CapitolPolice

Ray Epps testified @January6thCmte he left @uscapitol giving aid to man

Several helped ID Epps with James Russell Davis, a Virginia Proud Boy

🎥+DOJ docs confirm

Is there another? Epps testimony doesn’t fit

Strangely, Davis pled guilty & his assaults vs cops dropped by DOJ
🧵


Image

Image
Image
Epps testified he left Capitol ~ 2:12pm when he texted nephew, “I also orchestrated it”

Epps skips much activity now 👀 on film. But, he says on way out he finds a lifeless individual on ground, helps him to a tree with another medic, & man waves off calling 9-11 (no video)
Image
Image
We know Epps is @uscapitol at least until 2:35pm, when MPD Alioto throws CS gas in front of retreating cops at lower west terrace

Epps is seen walking away from Capitol, away from the CS cloud

Before becoming @USAO_DC & lead Jan 6 prosecutor

Matthew Graves worked for DLA Piper law. He received income $5,000+ from

Palestinian 🇵🇸 banks
Qatar 🇶🇦 charities
State of Qatar 🇶🇦
Al Jazeera 🇶🇦
Beirut, Lebanon 🇱🇧 banks
Gazprom Neft 🇷🇺

Yes, the Russia 🇷🇺 Gas company

The @USAO_DC Matthew Graves’ wife, Fatima Goss Graves, is CEO and President of a $100 million nonprofit

Unfortunately, his SF-278 submitted to the Senate Judiciary Committee prior to confirmation left her salary blank.

Guess that’s just a suggestion.
@USAO_DC Matthew Graves @USAO_DC made over $600,000 a year at his law firm prior to becoming DC Attorney

His wife heads a $100 million nonprofit

He kept a student loan, paying it off just before confirmation, after 22 years, despite US attorney & private law jobs

He is worth millions
