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:
Also, geography is important. Here is a view from Camera 0906 and map view showing where the RNC and DNC are in relation to the Capitol.
Just after 11 a.m., the Capitol Police command center moved camera 0906 west to focus in on the Proud Boys walking towards the Capitol on the National Mall.
This was also captured on Camera 0903, which I detailed in my last thread:
Camera 0906 remained fixed on the mall. After the Proud Boys moved on, persons with a large flag moved out onto the east end of the mall and stayed there for at least an hour and a half. This ~90 minutes has been sped to ~6 minutes to show the flow of people from the Ellipse.
After watching the National Mall for more than 90 minutes, the Capitol Police command center moved Camera 0906 back to facing south, the direction of the RNC and DNC, at ~12:35 p.m. This was five minutes before the first pipe bomb was discovered, and less than 20 minutes before Epps went through the gates.
Shortly after 2:40 p.m., response vehicles can be seen down New Jersey Ave SE, responding to the RNC. I've added the zoom to make this easier to see.
I also just noticed in the previous clip that at this time ~12:45, shadowy figures begin moving out on top of the Longworth House Office Building. I've sped this up to make the human movements more defined.
Right before 1 p.m., while police are busy with the pipe bombs, and Ray Epps is running through the Peace Circle gates, a heavy flow of people begin walking to the East side of the Capitol from the South (not from the west where Trump is speaking).
It's possible that these people came from the Capitol South Metro Station, which is on the Orange, Blue, and Silver lines.
Ok, let's back up just a bit. Traffic to the South of the Capitol is pretty dead for most of the early morning hours on January 6, however, there is a small burst of vehicles around the House Office Buildings just after 2:30 a.m.
At about 4:17 a.m. there is another burst of vehicles. Half turn right onto New Jersey SE, and half keep going east on Independence.
Camera 0906 never catches the possible 'ghost bus' seen on Camera 0903 at 5:20 a.m.
This bus likely turned right from Independence Ave onto Washington Ave SW, or First Street SW, rather than passing the House Office Buildings on Independence.
At around 7:30 a.m. another fairly large group walked in from the South to the East side of the Capitol, rather walking in from the Ellipse (west). Many people arrived at the Capitol early in the morning, and called to storm long before Trump spoke.
At about 9:02 a.m., the blurry video magically clears up. Either Congress is intentionally blurring hours of early morning footage from Camera 0906, or this camera sucks and is a security liability that needs to be replaced.
At 9:04 a.m., the Capitol Police command center actually moves Camera 0906 to zoom in on a large group of people that was walked from the East side of the Capitol, and is headed West. possibly to the Ellipse.
At about 9:27 a.m., Camera 0906 zooms in on a group of people walking from the SE. The group then crosses the SE lawn of the Capitol near a small stage where religious worship is taking place.
This is near where former FBI Liaison to US Capitol Police was at.
The day after J6 Guandolo said, in typical fedposting style: “I don’t see any other way out than a real armed counter-revolution to this hostile revolution that’s taking place, primarily driven by the communists.”
"From my perspective—I was there, I watched it, I was in and amongst it—it is amazing to me that patriots haven’t strung up these traitors already with the amount of evidence on the table of what they’re doing.”
-'Former' FBI Liaison to Capitol Police John Guandolo on January 7, 2021
Camera 0906 stayed aimed on the permitted event for part of the mid-morning. But did move around to focus on individuals periodically. Right before 10 a.m., another large group arrived from the SE.
At 10:08 a.m., Camera 0906 zooms in on a motorcade speeding onto the East Plaza from Independence Ave.
The timing of the motorcade in the previous clip lines up with a 20 minute gap (missing footage) from East Dome Camera 0907. Either Congress is intentionally hiding this 20 minutes, or the people uploading video for them are incompetent. But this was probably intentional.
After being at the Peace Circle right before Epps, (Sam Andrews who worked for a three letter agency and called for 500k armed men to march on Washington) circled the entire Capitol. This video begins at 1:49 p.m. as Andrews's groups heads back west.
As grey as January 6 was, the sun did finally break though the clouds. Camera 0906 caught it beautifully. It was the sunset of the first day of a new chapter in life for all connected to the events at the Capitol. This chapter - not yet over - will have a final sunset someday☀️
At about 1:16 p.m., a large group of D.C. police vehicles pulled onto the SE plaza. These officers then walked to the west front. This group included MPD munitions teams that launched gas and flashbangs into the crowd.
At 1:52 p.m., part of the Pence motorcade left the East Plaza. What appears to be an ambulance vehicle went with the black SUVs.
Another, single black SUV left the SE exit at 1:55 p.m., It was followed by another black SUV that pulled off Independence, then looped around the kiosk.
Another chunk of the Pence motorcade exited the plaza at 1:58 p.m. (as Pam Hemphill was running towards them). Rather than turning west, like the first half, this line of cars turned left on Independence and headed east.
Since Camera 0906 was at the time pointed at the National Mall, it never captured Kamala's motorcade leaving the Capitol shortly after 11:20 a.m., however MPD bodycam shows the view inside one of her escort vehicles as they drove to the DNC.
At 2:23 pm., a long line of MPD vehicles, including a bus, pulls onto Independence Ave. These officers will see protestors on the East steps as they approach, but choose to walk to the west side of the Capitol.
At 2:30 p.m. - more than an hour and a half after Ray Epps ran through at the Peace Circle - FBI Swat (supposedly stationed and ready just minutes away) finally pulled into the Capitol.
Notice how the FBI removed barricades, which the DOJ now says were a magic Secret Service perimeter that more than a thousand Americans have been criminally charged with crossing.
At 3 p.m. on January 6, an ambulance positioned itself to receive the body of Ashly Babbitt She left the Capitol grounds a little over 15 minutes after she was shot in the neck by Capitol Police Lt. Michael Byrd.
At 3:28 p.m. on January 6, what appear to be snipers, positioned themselves on the House wing roof facing the East center steps.
The Sniper on the roof can be seen speaking into a radio. Not all radio frequency recordings have been produced to January 6 defendants in discovery.
For those wondering, yes the FBI left the barricades open on January 6. This image is from 4:07 p.m. The DOJ in J6 cases has argued this is a magical restricted area due to the supposed presence of Mike Pence. Did the FBI not care about Pence?
At about 5:45 p.m., Camera 0906 recorded a police line escorting the few remaining stragglers off the west lawn.

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.
🧵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.
The @HouseAdmin Committee is trickling out blurred footage. They recently released West Dome Camera 0903. Here are some interesting finds:
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.
