To honor Charlie Kirk, a thread on his words about Jan 6. Let us cherish and remember them - which is easy since 41 of his sentences are "I'm invoking my Fifth Amendment right not to testify". That is, Kirk thought his words could be used in a criminal prosecution. 1/ Image
Charlie Kirk's deposition, with all his evasions, is a public document for anyone to read; this thread will hit some of the highlights. 2/
govinfo.gov/content/pkg/GP…Image
In response to the J6C's subpoena, Charlie Kirk handed over thousands of pages of Turning Point messages about the $1M+ they spent on the Jan 6 rallies and buses to bring the mob to DC ...but Kirk withheld all his personal text messages. He took the 5th when asked about them. 3/ Image
Some of Charlie's J6 texts are known from other people. Fundraiser Caroline Wren turned over messages about the money for the rallies: Kirk met with the donor, accepted the $, wrote the checks. But he took the 5th when asked about it - wouldn't even admit he knew Wren. 4/ Image
We know from the Turning Point emails that they used Telegram (a Russian app, btw) to coordinate the buses sent to DC, but Charlie turned over no Telegram messages. He took the 5th when asked about them. 5/ Image
Charlie Kirk was one of the first people tapped to speak at the Jan 6 rally, just two days after the permit application. President Trump wanted him! But by Dec. 29, Kirk had refused; he took the 5th when asked why. We can guess: he knew it would be violent, and wanted out. 6/ Image
Image
Kirk didn't just duck out of speaking on Jan 6, he stayed away from DC entirely. That meant he had to resign from Trump's "1776 Commission", whose only meeting was Jan 5. Their goal was to make US education 'patriotic' - a key Kirk theme. He must have really wanted out. 7/ Image
Charlie Kirk's deposition is short, since he refused to answer even basic questions like how old was he, did he run Turning Point, had he gone to college? His invoking the 5th means concern over criminal prosecution. Let's ask: why would Charlie fear prosecution over Jan 6? 8/ Image

Alex Pretti's killers are identified by ProPublica. The man who shot Pretti in the back ("A4") is Border Patrol agent Jesus Ochoa. The man who instigated the confrontation ("A1") is CBP officer Raymundo Gutierrez. Not new hires: 8 & 12 years service. 1/
ProPublica is terse about the sourcing but says "government documents" - likely a leak. Public video, public outrage, and news coverage all encourage leaks. Now the next step is obtaining the footage from the bodycam that Gutierrez ("A1") was wearing. 2/

A pushback on this statement by @davidmcswane. Sure, it's hard to sort out what agent did what in the chaos, but many people have done it: this account, CNN, NYT, WaPo. Just be methodical, label & describe them, and work frame by frame. People need to see the full story. 3/ Image

The Epstein files show his wild geopolitical schemes, but realize: he was a huckster who conned his way up; his friends called him dumb. He may have been a tool. @TVolscho digs up early details: Epstein lied to get a Dalton job, got fired mid-semester since he couldn't teach. 1/ Image
The Epstein files show him reaching out to Putin in 2013 to suggest tearing up the world's financial system. But a friend said that Epstein couldn't understand the talk at his science dinners, so would blurt out "what does that got to do with pussy". 2/
motherjones.com/criminal-justi…Image
As Epstein's emails show the extent of his ties to global elites, we have to manage the contradictions. Epstein curated his image, working the press. He was a genius at the con. But he was not likely the creator of all the schemes he pitched. Who was? 3/

New video implies one of Alex Pretti's shooters wore a bodycam that day - and shows his face.

Two agents at Pretti's murder - "A1" (NS-919), the instigator who fired at his prone body, & "A12" (NS-909) - are now seen earlier attacking another observer. The bodycam is clear. 1/ Image
Image
There is no suggestion that agents have changed their identifier numbers. The details of A1 / NS-919's vest match on both days, though it's seen more clearly in the new video. build. His build is the same. The new video also shows his face, partially. 2/ Image
The new video is now linked in the summary document covered in this thread. (See Tweet 2 for link to Google Doc.) 3/

Bari Weiss is a propagandist, but not a talented one who knows how to tune her messaging by audience. She's now installed the bootlicking Niall Ferguson in all 3 of her vehicles: the University of Austin, The Free Press, and now CBS News. Same message, same tone everywhere. 1/ Image
CNN on the same Davos speech that Ferguson gushed about: Trump was "subdued", the speech "winding, antagonistic", "filled with grievances"; the crowd "restless". Ferguson, like many rw pundits, seems to have a Daddy complex, wanting to be dominated. 2/
cnn.com/2026/01/21/pol…
Anyway, that's what CBS News will be feeding their viewers now. It's so clearly going to flop that people are speculating the point of hiring Bari Weiss was to destroy CBS: that she's Ted Lasso without the charm, filling a mission to kill a franchise. 3/

The murder of Alex Pretti is seen in at least 5 videos. The incident unfolded over less than a minute. One agent instigated. One shot. Pretti held only a camera. He had a gun, but never touched. it. The shooter saw him get disarmed, then shot him in the back, point blank. 1/ Image
Image
As promised, here is a multi-camera timeline, with sources and screenshots. Other people have drawn the same conclusions - that it was murder, that Pretti's shooter saw his gun removed - but this document can serve as a general reference. 2/
docs.google.com/document/d/1Yv…Image
Image
It's important to understand not just the shooting but what happened before it: how the hyper-aggressive Agent 1 chased and repeatedly pushed two women, followed them when they walked over to stand with Pretti, then turned his rage on Pretti instead. He was the instigator. 3/ Image

The NYT has a new video analysis of Renee Good's shooting which is careful, accurate, and clear - he walked across the path of a moving car, then leaned in and shot her with his feet well clear of the vehicle. 1/
nytimes.com/2026/01/15/vid…
Not many media outlets have specialized video analysis teams. CNN posted a video last week that showed Ross crossing in front of Good's car, but they missed the significance. The NYT's multicamera, frame-by-frame analysis is what's needed to understand. 2/
The NYT gets exactly right those parts of the sequence this account had separately verified, including 1) Ross switches his phone from R to L hand as he leans into his own car, and 2) Ross places his phone hand on Good's hood. They are solid. 3/
