On top of everything else this @BennieGThompson lawsuit against Trump, pro-Trump militia, and Rudy G, it synthesizes the case made in impeachment with more specific conspiracy language from the Proud Boy and Oath Keeper charging docs. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1D07aj6IkRsXXl5yCHd_vRM5SA0XXga6W/view

That said, it's already out of date: it doesn't include the allegations from the William Chrestman conspiracy charges, notably that Proud Boys successfully prevented cops from shutting entries to the tunnels.
The suit mentions that Thompson contracted COVID, probably from sheltering with his shithole colleagues who refused to mask up.
One other thing it doesn't include is Rudy G's texts from proud boy affiliate James Sullivan about blaming the entire riot on Antifa.
Also, I know I harp on this incessantly, but I think it worth mentioning that Trump's DOJ treated threats from Enrique Tarrio against a sitting judge to be a technicality unworthy of a sentencing enhancement.
