COURT VERDICT: Mark and Jerry Waynick GUILTY on all counts. Rule 29 motions DENIED. Defendants REMANDED to the custody of the Marshal. Sentencing set for 8/19.
@jsolomonReports
That door was opened from the inside by rioters at 2:33pm, check the timestamps. This is not new video. Doesn't it feel just a little bit embarrassing to be hyping old news this way?
The message

AFOs is that they DGAF - you can assault cops multiple times, then go live your best life on the slopes. After 700+ days of inaction we have to wonder, is the Portland field office compromised?

#BluePlaidMaceGuy
Now: A judge sentenced Capitol rioter Matthew Mazzocco to 45 days in prison, rejecting defense ask for probation *and* govt recc of home confinement.
"There have to be consequences for participating in an attempted violent overthrow of the government, beyond sitting at home."

A lot of people think this is where Babbitt was shot. It's not. The scene depicted here is in yellow on this map. The shooting was outside the Speaker's lobby, in red. Above photo shows the barricade mentioned in this Bellingcat article.
@SeditionHunters
A reminder of why this guy was wanted. After rioters smashed into an office near the tunnel and dismantled furniture, he grabbed a table leg - with a long, protruding screw - and wielded it like a medieval weapon against the officers defending the Capitol.
It took me all of about 10 minutes to find this guy who is asking Charlie Kirk when he gets to gun down people who disagree with his politics. Now what?
Actual quote from a TPUSA event last night: “When do we get to use the guns? ... That's not a joke. I'm not saying it like that. I mean, literally, where's the line? How many elections are they going to steal before we kill these people?”
@ryanjreilly
Any chance he's part of the Rod of Iron Ministries? Long shot but I saw this photo in the Vice article and thought hmmmmm he looks kind of familiar.
This was sent to me.
Is this person flashing a badge? If so, this would prove there were undercover federal agents disguised as MAGA.
I was thrown in solitary confinement for peacefully protesting. I just want the truth to be known.
Please RT so we can get the truth either way
Since the image of Derrick Vargo falling from the Capitol steps is making the outrage rounds again, here's a reminder that he was trying to outflank a police line defending a federal building while carrying a big-ass knife.
"In advance of insurrection, Rodney Milstreed, who at the time lived in MD, posted that he was going to use these weapons to ensure Trump stayed in power." -
@emptywheel
5 years for Rodney Milstreed
According to the NYT, Officer Jeffrey Smith's helmet (and badge) number was 4626. It would be good to keep an eye out so we can try to gain the most complete and correct understanding of what happened to him on that day.
Now, why would you make a professional site with your resume and a fake photo? Unless you were trying to build a fake identity to give to the cops when they round up you and your Patriot Front buddies? Just a thought, but it's pretty weird.
@MacFarlaneNews
I don't understand why McFarlane intentionally removes the "who" from his reporting.
The above snippet is from Connor, Lunyk, & Ferrigno's sentencing memorandum.
I'm still working on this, but the "grandma" who got pushed on the terrace was repeatedly challenging the police line and got pushed back at lest 3 times. FAFO, etc.
Get your act together
@fbi
@fbiwfo
this is getting ridiculous. 3 of the 4 AFOs you're asking for help with have been identified and reported. Goddammit.
It's funny that this dolt tried to block out identifying information while he bragged about stealing an Area Closed sign on J6.
Found him anyway.
Will he get arrested? Time will tell.
#Insider0364
It's now been 13 days since the last known J6 rioter arrest (SoRelle). This is the second-longest we've gone without an arrest.
Previous long spans: 15 days (over Christmas/New Years ending 1/4/22 with Snow) and 10 days twice (ending on 7/18/22 and 8/1/22 w/ Mellors & Kit).
@ArthurDelaneyHP
Assuming for the moment that they ARE unusual, as ol' Clay seems to suggest, that... kind of undercuts the notion that they were part of some secret hidden plan, no?
"We'll deploy our secret agents on these VERY UNUSUAL VEHICLES! Muahahaha!"
@SeditionHunters
Unless there are 2 different Brian Mocks from Minnesota of the same age and same violent tendencies, this seems like an interesting datapoint.
If I had a dollar for every registered sex offender we've found storming the Capitol - including offenses against children - well, I'd have a lot of dollars.
The video
@julie_kelly2
posted today of rioters streaming past a mostly-empty field ignores the fact that they were massing on the terrace to begin the assault. So I added that.
(And she cut it off before the real fighting began.)
@ChrisLynnHedges
Not sure if you were bamboozled, misinformed, or are just flat out ignoring the facts but come on... aiming a giant stolen can of OC spray at a police line just *MIGHT* be a more "serious offense" than "rhetoric," don't you think?

had a twitter space about some incarcerated Jan6 defendants. Jim had a lot of sympathetic things to say about Peter Schwartz. A reminder about who Schwartz is - a repeat offender and a felon, who repeatedly assaulted the cops on J6.
It’s a small leap of faith, but the friend connections, body & head shape, ear comparison, and social media footprint make it very likely that we have correctly identified

You know she did more than that. It's all spelled out in her charging documents.
She entered a secured federal building through a broken window, passed a table out to rioters who were breaking down furniture and using it as makeshift weapons to attack cops
Bobby is famous for getting most things wrong, and he got this wrong too. He’s spent the last 3 years of his life mailing copies of his video to anyone and everyone, convinced that he’ll blow the
