In my latest J6 case filing, I dissected the new sworn declaration from USCP Counsel Thomas DiBiase. He claims Republicans in Congress now have access to 41,057 hours of CCTV. However, his statement indicates Capitol Police are withholding thousands of hours of CCTV from… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
I also point out the DiBiase has declared that it was the FBI, not Capitol Police that first requested the protective order on USCP CCTV, which prevents defendants from having full access, and keeps it from being seen by the American people.
There are also many conflicting statements between DiBiase's first sworn declaration (3/17/21) and his second (3/16/23). The biggest is that DiBiase has shrunk the more than 14,000 hours of CCTV (from J6 noon to 8 p.m.) that he originally swore to, down to 12,671 hours.
The two DiBiase declarations indicate that committees seeking access to the CCTV have received different numbers of hours for the 8-hour time frame between noon and 8 p.m.
The current House Admin committee received fewer hours than the same committee in the previous Congress.
DiBiase declared the J6 committee and current house admin committee also did not received CCTV for the full 24-hour period from January 6. However, in his previous declaration he swears other committees in the last Congress did.
It gets worse.
Even if there are only 12,671 hours of CCTV from noon to 8 p.m. on J6, the government has produced less than half of that to J6 defendants in discovery.
The government has failed to produce the equivalent of at least 840 cameras and 280 days of CCTV video.
The government has magically discovered 13 news cameras in the 14k hours of CCTV Capitol Police gave them two years ago, but claiming "we recently identified" it is disingenuous. One of those cameras was recently used on Tucker, and another in the 2021 Impeachment hearings.
I also argue that defendants need CCTV from all times and cameras on January 6. This is especially true because an individual dressed like protestors was wandering the first floor of the Capitol minutes before Dominic Pezzola broke the first window.
My filing closes by urging the court to take a full inventory of Capitol Police CCTV possessed by the DOJ.
Earlier in my filing, I addressed the government's hypocritical whining regarding my use of First Amendment rights outside the court.
I pointed out that the government's coordinated information campaign against January 6 defendants has far exceeded my own public statements.
I also touched on my pending motion to release the police provocateur video, the recent leaks, and the governments false allegations that those videos are not relevant to my case.
"I will need to call these undercover officers as witnesses to authenticate all video they recorded… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
I pointed out the government does not know the evidence well enough to know what is relevant to my case, which is further reason for me to have access. I note the government falsely claimed in my indictment that Kamala Harris was in the Capitol despite video showing otherwise.
Bodycam from MPD Officer Richard Carter titled "Escort Harris to DNC" shows him driving his patrol vehicle to escort the Harris motorcade from the Capitol to the DNC at 11:21 a.m. on January 6.
This is included as Exhibit 95-2 in my motion.

I just filed a supplement to my selective prosecution motion. This filing provides 17 videos exhibits including never before seen CCTV from 15th and Constitution showing Ray Epps and Megan Paradise repeatedly inducing the crowd to go to the Capitol.
These videos show Ray Epps repeatedly going through the crowds on the morning of January 6, telling complete strangers to go to the Capitol.
In this clip, Ray Epps walks up to David Sumrall and the StopHate crew to have a conversation. Sumrall infamously discussed "physically taking Congress" on a podcast with CIA Kevin Shipp 5 months before January 6, and bullhorned people onto Capitol grounds after Epps entered.
Let's do a mini thread on some of the people caught with guns and other weapons on January 5 and 6 who you've probably never heard of. You'll be surprised to find that many received far lighter sentences than most January 6 defendants 🧵
First up is Thomas Gronek from North Carolina who was on the Hippies for Trump bus that got pulled over on January 5. Gronek brought a pink Ruger 10/22 rifle, with 275 rounds of .22 ammo, and a black 9mm Springfield handgun with 31 rounds of ammo. Gronek was detained until February 18, 2021. On April 1, 2022, his felony charge was pled down to misdemeanor attempted carry. Gronek was sentenced to time served (about a month and a half) and a $50 fine.
Harlan Boen from Colorado was arrested on January 5 for carrying a Glock 23 at Freedom Plaza. Boen allowed officers to pat him down, and then waived his Miranda rights. Boen was released from custody the next day, January 6, but faced felony charges. On December 15, 2021 he pled down to misdemeanor attempted carry, and received a suspended 45 day sentence (none served), a $50 fine, and 60 days of probation.
Is it normal to be operating a baby stroller and a K-9 at the same time? What exactly did those CIA K-9 teams on January 6 look like?
Here's some more footage of our stroller K-9 unit at about 3:20 p.m. (as seen on camera 0942 - digitally enlarged). She seemed to be walking back and forth through the crowd, and stopped to talk with another dog handler.
Here's the K-9 Stroller entering Capitol grounds at the Maryland walkway just about 2:42 p.m.
The K-9 handler initially wore a large overcoat, then did an outfit change, and positioned near the walk for an extended period.
I have filed a motion to compel the government to identify active-duty FBI employees who were in the crowd at the Capitol with former FBI Liaison to Capitol Police John Guandolo on January 6.
My filing also includes a sworn declaration from John Guandolo in the case of Kowalke v. David Eastman, where Guandolo attested under penalty of perjury that he was with an FBI special agent at the Capitol.
Guandolo has also acknowledged in several interviews that he was with multiple active-duty FBI agents at the Capitol on January 6, and that they introduced him to other FBI who were in the crowd.
This time I'll be exploring 24 hours of Dome Camera 0906, which face South - the direction of the RNC and DNC pipe bombs. Brace yourself for more interesting finds and more Congressionally blurred footage.
Let's start at midnight - January 6 has just begun. Unfortunately, camera 0906 is either out of focus for several hours, or has been intentionally blurred by Congress. Because of that, we don't have crisp details of what happened in the middle of the night.
It's also important to note that the pipe bombs were supposedly plants on the night of January 5. Since Congress has only released video from J6 so far, not J5, they are still withholding important clues from the public. This video put together by @RevolverNewsUSA gives some background:
🧵Part 2
More than two million people have already viewed my thread on Camera 0903, which shows strange activity in the middle of the night and morning, but I've only gotten through ~noon on January 6. To avoid clutter, this thread will cover the second part of the day.
At about 12:40 p.m. on January 6, Camera 0903 is zoomed in on a sidewalk area. Congress has intentionally blurred this footage to hide the details of who the people moving through here were.
However, at 12:20, Congress did not blur this same shot. Both of these clips come from the same 20 minute file, and both are before Ray Epps ran past the gates. So, Congress is intentionally hiding the identity of some people but not others.
