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 https://twitter.com/jsrailton/status/1347764665821102084

Seems so ordinary, becoming Lieutenant Commander Brock in the US Airforce ...yet the conversion from the ordinary into the extremist will make a fascinating study for psychologists @RichardBentall

His claim that he picked up the wrist ties “someone” had dropped so he could hand them into police is laughable.

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?

The attention to detail in making the links is impressive.

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.?

H/T @k8tshires for this summary from CNN

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.

Brock (& others)

More identifications under way (there seems to be more than 1 wrist ties men)

Yet many in the GOP continue to endorse Trump ignoring his and his dissolute side kicks’ (such as Hawley, Cruz, Giuliani) incitement to the very people who breached Capitol Hill earlier this week.

These are the facilitators and no less responsible. https://www.nytimes.com/2021/01/08/us/politics/trump-republican-national-committee.html
