#SeditionHunters - "arrest Friday" is back! Not just in numbers but in importance: the first arrest in awhile of a perp with an "organizational" role on Jan 6. But first, the colorful & violent #PinstripeBoilersuit, FBI #37 and #94, Josiah Kenyon of NV..1/
#PinstripeBoilersuit was ID'd within days of the Capitol attack: a witness told FBI they'd met him on the Washington Metro, gave his motel, ID'd from motel records. Arrests often lag IDs by many months, presumably to not overload the court system. 2/

#SeditionHunters - the FBI prosecution of assault on media has reached one of the nastiest: Alan Byerly of PA aka #GreyBeanieMeanie, who viciously attacked AP photographer John Minchillo. He's the one in the grey beanie...PA journalists, do your thing! 1/

His PA affiliation wasn't hard to find; his beanie says "Kutztown". The attack was shocking for his visible rage, also Minchillo was pushed over a wall & could have been seriously hurt. (Btw don't credit those who helped Minchillo; they may be org. folks trying to de-escalate) 2/
The video crucial to Byerly's arrest was shot by his AP colleague Julio Cortez (julythephotoguy) from helmet-mounted cam. So reporting itself defends reporters! As in the #MediaSmash, the mob called any journalist "CNN".. 3/
#SeditionHunters - gofers like #LemonyKickit can be more important than VIPs for understanding the Capitol attack! He shows the planning & coordination. Watch him run all over the grounds live-streaming & following orders in new reel by @StevieG54099097 1/
#LemonyKickit’s zig-zag path also shows the Capitol attack did not go as fast as planned. During the drawn-out W. Plaza fight, he & pal #LemonZest spend an hour taking phone calls & reversing direction, waiting to move East. 2/
At 1:20 PM #LemonyKickit's part of a charge East that we call “Exodus 0.5": flag wavers signal & people flood onto the NW lawn (L). But the rush is called off, maybe because the Plaza fight was slow. Lemony takes a call; everyone backtracks; by 1:26 the lawn is clear again (R) 3/
