🧵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.
In between these two clips is the zoomed out view of Sam Andrews group, which is where I ended the first thread.
Since this blurred footage is important, and since I've been very critical of @SpeakerJohnson for blurring video that is released - potentially hiding undercover feds - I am posting the entire 15 minutes of video they blurred leading up to the initial rush onto Capitol grounds.
At about 12:58, Camera 0903 zooms in on people who have rushed to the west front of the Capitol. Again, Congress has blurred the face of Ray Epps and others, depriving the public of the precise details needed to fully understand the events of January 6.
At 1:05, Camera 0903 centers on the media tower, where provocateurs like #NWScaffoldCommander are bullhorning for people to move forward and engage with police. However, whenever the camera zooms in on these provocateurs, @RepLoudermilk's @HouseAdmin committee blurs their faces.
Some of the closer shots Congress hasn't blurred. For example, by about 1:30, police had established a perimeter and for a period of time, things were relatively calm. This video is extremely clear.
The calm is broken when police begin launching flash bangs and gas canisters into the crowd at 1:32 p.m.

The police had one perspective, but many peaceful J6 protesters have said they were left with the impression that their own government was intentionally assaulting them.
By 1:37 p.m. the crowd had become unsettled, and scuffles began breaking out along the west front line.
Notice in the previous clip that Camera 0903 catches several undercover operatives filming on the inaugural platform. These are members of the D.C. police Electronic Surveillance Unit. You can read more about them here:

At 1:40 p.m., Camera 0903 catches Ray Epps helping to push a large sign into police. Epps was not charged with assault for this, like others have been, instead he received an unusual 1-misdemeanor pre-arranged plea. I was the first one to point out Epps sign push two years ago:
Just after 2 p.m., Camera 0903 pans the crowd, capturing the incredible number of patriotic Americans who came to Washington on January 6. Sadly, our extreme government has used mass collection warrants to seize phone, internet, and financial information on those who were there.
At 2:12 p.m., the Capitol Police Command Center pans camera 0903 to the Upper West Terrace, which the first protestors have just reached.
At 2:14 p.m., FBI informant #TracksuitPB James Ehren Knowles (orange tape on a black helmet) can be made out through the Congressional blur. Knowles carried flexcuffs into the Capitol and chased police into the visitor center. He testified that he was given permission from the FBI to commit crimes:
At 2:25 p.m., Camera 0903 captures police again launch munitions into the crowd. This results in many of their own officers being gassed and retreating from the line.
By about 2:28 p.m., the gassing has again amped up the crowd and the police line begins to break.
The @HouseAdmin committee has withheld (either intentionally or incompetently) approximately 10 minutes from 2:28 to 2:38 p.m. from camera 0903. When the footage resumes at 2:38, the west plaza is full of people.
For approximately, 14 minutes, camera 0903 zooms in on the crowd. If there are any feds in this video, Congress has blurred them out. At 2:53, the camera goes to the blue screen of death, then resets to a wide shot. By this time, police lines have formed on the upper terrace.
At other times, such as 3:16 p.m., Congress has not blurred video of the crowd. So, their argument that they are protecting people is ridiculous. They are only protecting certain people who were in the crowd at certain times! And Congress already gave the FBI the unblurred video!
Back to blurry footage of the same shot at 3:18. Who is Congress hiding here? Then the camera pans over to the Upper West Terrace where a police line has formed. Things are relatively peaceful on the terrace until police begin pushing the crowd out.
After about an hour of zoomed in crowd footage (which Congress has blurred to hide whoever they are trying to hide) camera 0903 pans back over to the upper west terrace as police begin pushing the crowd back at 4:20 p.m. (because of course police would choose 420).
Thanks to the Capitol Police Command Center, we have a nice zoomed in shot at 4:26 p.m. of police escorting people back down the same steps they first came up more than three hours earlier.
At about 4:44p.m., Camera 0903 took a wide shot of the area. A group of people was gathered in front of the federal court house and there appears to be a white bus similar to the 'ghost bus'
@RepClayHiggins pointed out. We would need Congress to release some of the street cameras for a better view.

The zoom in is done by me digitally to try and enhance the details.
@RepClayHiggins This 'ghost bus' appears to be similar to the one that was circling the Capitol at 5:20 a.m.
At 4:48 p.m., Camera 0903 goes back to police pushing people down the NW stairs. This clip shows a tactical team dropping grenades on the crowd and firing munitions at them.
At 5:13 p.m., camera 0903 recorded the last person on the SW scaffolding - a self-identified antifa named Jonathan Hart Kelly - being physically removed by police.
The wide view captured by Camera 0903 gives you an idea where undercover Detectives Leiva and Callahan were at 5:14 p.m.

Undercover officer Tomasula, who repeatedly urged people up the steps, is also in this area.

Leiva and Callahan were captured on Camera 0908 near Ashli Babbitt around 2:20 p.m:
Image
Leiva, Tomasula, Callahan, and the rest of the 28 officers in the undercover Electronic Surveillance Unit weren't the only undercover police at the Capitol.

21-cr-00128 ECF No. 147, notes that members of MPD's Intel Unit were also undercover approximately 50 yards from the NW scaffold throughout the afternoon and into the evening.
It's interesting how some of the last to leave the Capitol grounds were also some of the first to arrive, some of the first to push up into the scaffold, and some of the most boisterous provocateurs who urged people forward and waved them in doors.
Shortly after 6:10 p.m., Camera 0903 shows police pushing people out of the Peace Circle. Then, for the first time, National Guard troops fill in behind them. USCP Chief Sund claims that both the Senate and House denied him NG support for 90 minutes, then DOD took several more hours to send troops. However, there are also reports that DOD had secret commando teams undercover at the Capitol. After J6, the DOD heavily classified most of their J6 files.
At around 7:20 p.m. Camera 0903 shows police circling around remaining protestors. These individuals were some of the first January 6 arrests. The circle also caught members of the media, who were eventually released. However, the DOJ has recently been threatening to arrest @TPC4USA who was on the ground reporting on January 6. Steve Baker has exposed the DOJ's blatant use of perjured testimony in January 6 trials.
By 9:15 p.m., members of the press are the only ones left in the parking lot leading up to the Peace Circle and Capitol. While the First Amendment protects both the right of speech and the press, these rights were treated unequally during the J6 curfew, and have been treated unequally in J6 cases. How can the non-violent exercise of speech on J6 receive a prison sentence, if exercise of press on J6 is deemed justified? And how can Congress make any law criminalizing either? Our First Amendment says Congress cannot, but in practice our government has begun criminalizing 1A rights. This is a dangerous precedent!
Update, even though the @HouseAdmin committee withheld this video from their main video list, it is included in their Rumble 'playlist' for camera 0903.
For the first two and a half minutes starting at 2:28 p.m., there is noticeable space between protestors and police, even though the barricades have fallen.
By 2:33 p.m., some in the crowd moved in closer, pressuring police to speed their retreat up the stairs.
Camera 0903 zoomed in on this pressure, but @SpeakerJohnson's staff have blurred out important details.
Notice how some individuals were working to hold the crowd back so that police had room to move up the stairs.
At 2:35 p.m., Ray Epps can be seen moving in from the right side of the screen, advancing towards the door and staircase where police are retreating to the upper terrace. Epps only turned back when the gas became too much for him to handle.
Bodycam from MPD Sgt. Tyrone Harris gives us a police perspective of the final few minutes on the lower terrace. Harris was the sergeant in charge of more than two dozen undercover officers on J6, but he himself responded to the Capitol in uniform.

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 🧵 Image
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.Image

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.Image

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.

Video is 10x speed and covers ~30 minutes.

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.

You can read the full redacted PDF here:

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.

🧵Time For Another January 6 CCTV Thread

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:

🧵Thread on January 6 Capitol Police Camera 0903

The @HouseAdmin Committee is trickling out blurred footage. They recently released West Dome Camera 0903. Here are some interesting finds: Image
Although they say they are now releasing entire cameras, the House Admin Committee has withheld footage from the early morning hours of January 6.

This includes gaps from between 12:40 a.m. and 1 a.m., and between 1:20 a.m. and 2:20 a.m.

Here is the minute before the 12:40 gap:
Immediately following the hour long gap between 1:20 and 2:20, the Capitol Police Command Center used camera 0903 to follow a white box truck. Then they zoomed in on people walking on the National Mall and in a parking lot on the west side of the Capitol.
