Please help me identify additional details from this vid of the candidate for Male #1 as he enters #CapitolBuilding & climbs steps, including stills of the apparent sidearm/ taser on hip & other gear.

Many reasons to think Male #1 has a version of the Gadsden flag "Don't Tread on Me" patch. Hard to tell exact color in footage.

Now we suspect the door of entry we need still pics & more footage.

NEW: paid $435 licensing fee @AP for hires pic of Male #1 outside the #CapitolBuilding.

Lets us confirm:

-Knife clipped to pocket
-Taser Pulse on hip

Time to work on facial details. And who is Female #2? We saw them together on staircase.

[FULL VIDEO] URGENT: Matches in clothing, gear, and story with #ZipTieGuy (aka Male # 1) from the Senate.

Have friends in #Tennessee ? From there? Please review this footage. DMs open if you recognize him or his female companion.

Reminder why I am probing for possible Tennessee connection for Male #1 aka #ZipTieGuy:

-Tennessee-shaped thin blue line patch on body armor
- @blckriflecoffee hat. Company has operations in TN (and other states)
-Accent in above video (disclaimer: not accent expert)

BREAKING: made a moderate-high confidence identification of #ZipTieGuy's identity.

Not releasing name publicly yet. Immediately referring to @FBI in the interest of public safety.

Result of 100s of helpers, 100s of tips. Thank you all. Onwards.

We have a very strong identification for #ZipTieGuy. Have referred it to the @FBI. Not releasing publicly yet.

However, you should know that;

His social media includes
-him brandishing weapons & holding a thin blue line flag in front of images Donald Trump...

BREAKING: He's being named by others now, so I can confirm results of the investigation: Eric Munchel from Nashville TN is #ZipTieGuy

His social media has now been locked down, but many of his posts are disturbing and include glorified violence.

BREAKING I can now confirm Male #2 w/ restraints is highly decorated combat vet & @AF_Academy graduate Lt. Colonel. Ret. Larry Brock of Texas.

Releasing his name now after 24h of collaboration w/ @RonanFarrow & his investigations team to confirm.
https://www.newyorker.com/news/news-desk/an-air-force-combat-veteran-breached-the-senate

Lt.Col Brock's personal transformation from distinguished vet to political extremism and now disgraceful misconduct is essential reading.

I came away disturbed by what I saw, but impressed by @RonanFarrow's reportorial care as we investigated this man.

How we identified Lt.Col Brock:
1. Facial recognition & review of candidate faces.
2. Narrowing to him w/OSINT
3. Validation by many who helped w/his patches. Esp. @JohnHultquist
4. Finally @RonanFarrow did extensive & necessary journalistic work calling & doing interviews.

Coda 5. Then @Michael1Sheldon reached out. He'd been quietly conducting a parallel investigation and had also found Brock! This work from a researcher (at @DFRLab / @AtlanticCouncil) helped with confidence in the last stretch.

Win for the digital accountability ecosystem!

How we identified Eric Munchel (longer)
1. Focus on gear. So many contributed!
2. Clothing led to him being spotted entering #CapitolBuilding w/female.
3. Led to a lead of him on grounds. Paid @AP $435 for hires pic.. which led to

4. revisiting something @WilliamTurton said to me 48h ago about an encounter @GrandHyattDC
5. Footage from lobby led to face!
6. Revisited Tennessee links.
7. Breakthrough: Eagle eyed @two_plus_twins found a match on Eric Munchel's FB!
7. OSINT validation & archiving

Folks, we are not done.

CONTINUING with other unidentified males in the Senate chamber. Next up? Male #3 front-carrying a backpack.

CONTINUING: Male #3 validating details of outfit.
Including:
-Dodge Charger 68' 69' 70' Classic Outline hoodie. (Moderate-high confidence) @birdswithknees et al.
-Orange beanie w/ DieHard tag. @DesiatoHb @jemiferjemifer et al. (Moderate-high confidence)

Please help w/backpack.

Male #3 Backpack: @michelledelong made the logo leap w/a trademark search. Others surfaced helpful details.

-Track brand backpack by Triple Gear (moderate-high confidence)

Challenge: "C" looked like "E" in pic.

Similar, non identical bags on Amazon. Can we find this one?

PSA: Please, be careful!

Crowdsourcing gains its power from countless sharp-eyed people like you.

HOWEVER, this can only work when sharing CLUES is clearly distinguished from drawing final CONCLUSIONS about identity.

Mistaken identity is easy, and can cause lasting harm.

REVISITING Individual #4 who brought restraints into #CapitolBuilding on plate carrier and took rigorous steps to cover everything & conceal identity. Gender uncertain.

Help me find more footage & appearances inside Capitol & on grounds.

...continuing

Multiple ppl brought restraints INTO #CapitolBuilding including Individual #4. Here's higher resolution pic by @WinMc.

Eagle eyed @theFordon flagged it to me. Can we find other imagery of this person?

Pic series: https://www.gettyimages.com/detail/news-photo/protesters-enter-the-u-s-capitol-building-on-january-06-news-photo/1294933358

NEW: high res Individual #4 visible at 1:20 timestamp remonstrating w/ #CapitolPolice.

Gear nerds can we identify helmet, plate carrier & goggles?

Also, colorful face cover must be somewhat unique.
