Absolutely fascinating thread as @jsralton & others track down the identity of key players in the Capitol Hill breach.
Including highly decorated ex-members of the military.
The double wrist ties, tasers, discarded weapons all show an intention to go much further than they got

And when you think about it rather cowardly. Can’t even take responsibility for what he has done.
Who else were involved in the planning? Which mates of his?
There’s going to be a lot more doors knocked in in the next few weeks.
How high and how deep into the Trump establishment does it go.?
If the people involved in this insurrection succeeded where would the establishment face of the movement be?
I suspect not making the denouncements they are now that it failed.

When Ashli Babbitt was murdered by the police, the media highlighted her status as a Air Force veteran
... & largely ignored her property destruction charges & 3 restraining orders
Peaceful process my arse.
The Capitol staff must have been terrified..and the clear intention to incite sedition by Trump et al just before it is also shown.
And 45% of Republican voters polled thought it was OK https://t.co/PqaAtKZ1ZM

I'm not going to even mention that Blinken's stepdad Sam Pisar's name was in Epstein's "black book."
Lots of names in that book. I mean, for example, Cuomo, Trump, Clinton, Prince Andrew, Bill Cosby, Woody Allen - all in that book, and their reputations are spotless.
