🚨🧵🚨: “The @CapitolPolice strongly opposes the public release of any of its CCV footage from Jan 6, 2021, outside of the criminal prosecutorial process, particularly the public release of thousands of hours of footage in the aggregate.” -Thomas “Tad” DiBiase (@TheNoBodyGuy) General Counsel for USCP, on July 25, 2023
In early March of last year, sources revealed @TheJusticeDept knew of a particular story I was working on, and “we're not happy about it.” If the DOJ knew, then Tad DiBiase knew. DiBiase is the direct link between the DOJ and USCP. After all, he is a former DOJ AUSA himself.
By the time DiBiase had signed this Civil Action (No. 1:23-cv-01014), I'd already spent days with Capitol CCTV, cataloging camera numbers and time codes that would show the likely trial perjuries of USCP SA David Lazarus and former officer Harry Dunn.

It’s likely that DiBiase also knew about my video work, intensifying his efforts to oppose and block the distribution of those videos to other investigative reporters and me. Coincidentally (I’m sure), during this same time frame, I was being recruited to join @TheBlaze.
Coincidentally (I’m sure), I received a grand jury subpoena for my own videos less than two weeks later. The DOJ had been completely silent on my case for over 20 months since first telling my attorney on Nov. 17, 2021, that I was going to be “charged within the week.” (Hmmm.)
From internal USCP comms—back in Oct.—DiBiase discussed monitoring the “traction” my Lazarus story was receiving. (Rather than actually investigating the trial perjury by one of his special agents.) He also has referred to me as “that Twitter guy.”
Sources say that DiBiase has since demanded that the DOJ deliver my head on a prosecutorial silver platter ... “Put him in prison” is the last such quote I received—said to have come from his office directly to the DOJ. I was actually told, to "DC AG." (That high? Really?)
Despite best efforts to keep me and others away from those CCTV videos, they have largely failed. I wish to express thanks to @SpeakerMcCarthy, @SpeakerJohnson, and @RepLoudermilk for keeping that access in play. All that we have seen and learned will eventually be published.
My work is in the possession of and known by several individuals. (“Deadman switches.”) DOJ can arrest me, put me in chains, place a gag order on me, and throw me under the Gulag, but they cannot have what I know or stop what’s coming. (And no . . . I did not commit suicide.)
Whether the coming story concerns USCP cover-ups, corruption, perjury, cameras being turned away from bomb investigation scenes (who ordered that?), or other issues related to J6, that runaway train has already left the station. Stay tuned for more.

There will be more of this, too.

🚨BREAKING🧵- This time, it’s really happening.

Unlike the two previous threats my attorneys received from @FBI / @thejusticedept (Nov. 21 and Dec. 23), my self-surrender for alleged J6 crimes is set for this Friday morning in Dallas, TX. There is now a signed arrest warrant.⬇️
I must turn myself in to the @FBI at 7 am, and then the FBI (or US Marshalls?) will transport me to the Dallas courthouse, where I can meet my attorney at 9:30 am.
I’m then scheduled for a 10 am hearing before the magistrate.⬇️
The prosecutor informed my attorney that I am to arrive at the @FBI field office wearing “shorts and sandals.” They didn’t have to go this route, as we've been told that my charges are non-violent misdemeanors.⬇️

I want to personally thank these men for their commitment - not just to my fight - but also to the fight for important underlying constitutional issues in my case and the blatant selective prosecution of voices that don't align with the current administration. ⬇️
@TheJusticeDept and @FBI have put me through investigations and threats of prosecution for over 2.5 years - while more than 100 IDENTIFIED individuals on the FBI's J6 Most Wanted List (for violence against police officers and media mage) have not been charged. ⬇️

💥Boom Chicka Boom💥 THREAD:

An unnamed @CapitolPolice source, who I’ve been working with for more than a year, just sent me this private message following his review of the latest on the J6 pipe bombs from @theblaze and @DarrenJBeattie with @RevolverNewsUSA:
“EVERY SINGLE 10-100 (suspicious package) I’ve responded to or declared, I never saw my coworkers disregard their/other’s safety as I saw in that video...
"...It’s really weird seeing everyone’s calm response to a possible pipe bomb right next to them, especially knowing the future VP is there.”

🚨Breaking🚨 - Sources within @CapitolPolice today confirmed to me that USCP Officer Harry Dunn's (@libradunn) resignation from the department was effective on Dec. 15, 2023. One can only speculate about the reasons for his departure before earning full retirement benefits.⬇️
Dunn can continue accruing time if he takes another federal job. Several weeks ago, he floated a trial balloon about his interest in running for Congress. He resides in @RepRaskin's district in MD. Given @SenatorCardin's announcement last May of his intention to retire...⬇️
...@RepRaskin's name has been floated as a potential candidate for that seat. That would clear the path for @libradunn to run for Raskin's House seat without relocating. The two have indeed worked together before. One such project that led to a disciplinary investigation...⬇️

🚨THREAD🚨: Given the reactions from our sources inside @CapitolPolice to last night’s thread, I’ve decided to go ahead and drop the names of those who produced and distributed the anonymous letter on USCP letterhead on May 19, 2021. Follow this thread. ⬇️
It's no secret I had direct contact with @CapitolPolice Officer Harry Dunn for several weeks. This began with a four-hour-long personal meeting in September of this year. We maintained contact until @theblaze went public with Part 1 of our series about him and SA Lazarus.⬇️
The whole context of those communications will remain between @libradunn and me, but I am prepared to reveal that it was Officer Dunn acting of his own volition to create and release that anonymous letter, violating multiple department policies in the process.⬇️ Image

🚨THREAD🚨: This anonymous letter on @CapitolPolice letterhead was distributed to members of the Capitol press pool and circulated by Rep. Jamie Raskin’s office to other Congress members on the evening of May 19, 2021. There are a few big problems…⬇️ Image
…with this letter. As a department, @capitolpolice does not issue anonymous press releases. Indeed, not of a political nature. This letter, drafted by a USCP officer, violates several USCP employee regulations.⬇️

vanityfair.com/news/2021/05/c…
Most egregiously, the author violated many departmental directives against using USCP time and resources for political purposes. @theblaze has learned that @CapitolPolice knows the identity of the officer who wrote this letter. @TheBlaze also knows the identity of the officer.⬇️
