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.

On January 6, 2021, MPD stopped Virginians Julian Snell and Thomas Wolfe during a gun interdiction and found two handguns in the vehicle. They were charged with felonies, offered a misdemeanor plea deals, and then received deferred sentencing agreements with a diversion (charges disposed of completely) once they completed some community service.

Logan Grimes came to D.C. from Michigan with other self-identified Antifa. After they infiltrated pro-Trump crowds, Police received a report that they were armed, and found Grimes' Ruger handgun in their car. Grimes spent the night in jail, but the U.S. Attorney's Office declined to prosecute Grimes and charges were dropped completely the next day. For more on Grimes, read this linked thread and court filing:

Pennsylvanian James Sinclair was arrested on the evening of January 6 for a curfew violation. During a search of his person, police also found brass knuckles. Sinclair spent the night in jail, was released the next day, but faced a misdemeanor charge. After completing a diversion, the charges were dropped.

As a reminder, most of the antifa who attacked the Portland federal courthouse received deferred resolution agreements that dropped all felony charges.

The only J6 defendants to receive deffered agreements and diversions are these individuals who had multiple felony gun charges.

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.

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:

🧵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.

🧵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:

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.
