Jack Wade Whitton, a 32-year-old from Georgia, bragged in a message obtained by the government that he "fed" a cop "to the people." nbcnews.com/politics/justi…
Whitton was an early target of the "Sedition Hunters" community that came together online to identify Capitol rioters after Jan. 6. Prosecutors referenced the role that "unknown Twitter users" played in tracking his movements using the hashtag #Scallops. nbcnews.com/politics/justi…
“you’re gonna die tonight.”

In May, we saw cattle burp #emissions from space for the first time, cases of #monkeypox in the UK, and the @HumaneSociety urged the release of 80 beagles from an animal testing lab.

Hey #SeditionHunters! In commemoration of the 1 yr anniversary of this incredible community, I want to start a thread highlighting some notable accomplishments. Please contribute by recognizing individual Hunters - others, or toot your own horn! You deserve to be commended! 1/?
I'll start by recognizing @patr10tic (👏👏Kudos!!👏👏), whose capitolmap.com served as my introduction to OSINT tools created by and for #SeditionHunters . I can still recall the thrill of finding new #Scallops footage and my nervous first post as a SH to share it!
Thank you, @BusAntifa for finding that tweet just now! ❤️
NEW: Michigan’s Justin Jersey — aka #Fingerman — was one of the Jan. 6 attackers who helped kick off the online manhunt for Capitol rioters back in January.
The FBI arrested him up today.

huffpost.com/entry/fingerma…
One of his codefendants on the superseding indictment is a fellow Michigan resident IDed through similar means: huffpost.com/entry/logan-ba…
Justin Jersey is charged in a superseding indictment, so there’s no FBI affidavit laying out how this case was built. There is, however, this twitter thread:
NEW: Here’s body-worn camera footage of #ThreePercentSheriff (aka Ronald Colton McAbee) attacking the police line at the Capitol. A lot of faces familiar to the #SeditionHunters community here.
You can see #ThreePercentSheriff, who is currently awaiting a decision on his detention: huffpost.com/entry/capitol-…
You can see Logan Barnhart, aka #CatSweat huffpost.com/entry/logan-ba…
Long-awaited news: #CatSweat is arrested! He's Logan Barnhardt, bodybuilder from MI. One of the key attackers at the tunnel when Officer Miller was dragged. ID was fast once #SeditionHunters found his clear face shot, likely by many (including the great @rocketman2001). 1/
We thought that #CatSweat looked pretty full of himself, and Logan did have an active social media profile, as you might expect for an aspiring model (surprising how many are at the Capitol). Calls himself "knuckle sandwich" - better worry about that pretty face in prison. 2/
He's a heavy machine operator at Barnhart and Son Construction near Lansing, Michigan (hope dad is ashamed), works as a trainer at a gym in Lansing. His partner-in-attack #Scallops was also a gym rat, but Logan seems to have arrived & acted alone. Unclear what radicalized him 3/

Over the weekend, the government disclosed newly discovered body cam footage of Jack Wade Whitton, who bragged that he “fed” an officer to the mob.

"This statement, coupled the defendant’s lack of remorse and respect for the life of law enforcement officers, as seen in his text messages, is a red flag of his continuing dangerousness."

In court hearing, an attorney for Jeffrey Sabol says he has “come to terms with the mistakes that he’s made.”
Sabol, he said said, realizes his “mindset on January 6 was completely wrong” and he’d “been lied to.”
Sabol, he said said, realizes his “mindset on January 6 was completely wrong” and he’d “been lied to.”
Sabol claimed he was “patting [an officer] on the back” and saying “we got you man” when shown a video that appeared to show him throwing punches at an officer.
In Sabol hearing, federal prosecutor seems to reference the #SeditionHunters community and shows the court a "photograph disseminated across social media" that "very quickly kicked off” the probe that led to Sabol’s arrest.
“That's what began the investigatiion,” she says.

My latest on the case against Jack Wade Whitton, the Trump fan who dragged a D.C. police officer down the Capitol steps by the neck. A federal magistrate judge in Georgia said he could be released, but the feds want him held until trial. #scallops huffpost.com/entry/jack-wad…
“I fed him to the people. Idk his status. And I don’t care tbh.” huffpost.com/entry/jack-wad…
This is yet another case that shows the FBI is really buried. The bureau received a solid tip on the identify of #scallops, who dragged an officer into the mob by the neck, on Jan. 17. But there’s no indication the investiation advanced until Feb. 25. huffpost.com/entry/jack-wad…
#SeditionHunters - a very big arrest today that will make many people very happy! #Scallops seems cooked. No further info yet but will look for more.
Thanks to @Other63517090 and @justhelpingout6 for flagging it.

Help us find the man who violently assaulted a MPD officer and dragged him down the stairs outside the Capitol. He’s been nicknamed #Scallops for his gray scalloped backpack with red Trump button seen in this pic:

What We've Learned (so far) thread
We started looking for 4 rioters who dragged an officer (#5737) into the mob and beat him before and after he lost consciousness. We thought he might be officer Brian Sicknick, who later died. We know now he was officer A.P. Wayte who survived.

In the hunt, though, we found video of a guy (GrayPack) who threw a fire extinguisher at a group of police. One of them had had his helmet knocked off by a different guy who checked him over a ledge. The extinguisher hit one cop in the head, bounced into the helmetless guy.
We know that Officer Sicknick was hit in the head by an extinguisher, "walked it off," then collapsed later and died, presuably from brain bleeding. Those facts fit the helmetless officer, but we don't know yet if he is Sicknick. He turns his head; they don't look that similar.
