NEW FOOTAGE: a long, disciplined line of men in body armor moves as a unit up the #CapitolBuilding steps.

We need to identify this group.

Grateful to @lehudgins for the find.

1. Eric Prince's army?

,

[pdxflyboy]

3. Yup

[Bluethroughu]

4. That why DeVos resigned

Traitors.

[dalton99a]

7. Or white supremacist militia

[pazzyanne]

35. Eric Prince gets my vote. nt

[dustyscamp]

2. Oathkeepers

[7wo7rees]

11. Oathkeepers was my 1st guess.

Been tracking on this bunch for a long time. Over the years have become more radical and extreme. All ex military, cops etc...... some or most of Prince's private army probably belong

[dustyscamp]

13. Hopefully the FBI will be able to take out some before they come back for future maga protests

[wnylib]

38. If you look farther down the replies,

there is a 30 second video taken at a different time that shows another line moving up to the doors. They are wearing jackets with Oath Keepers in large gold lettering on the back.

The Oath Keepers appear to be wearing white disposable gloves. The hand signal shown in close still photo of the original linked video also appears to show white disposable gloves. Hands are pure white.

So Oath Keepers were there but i'm. betting some of Prince's boys, too. Maybe the ones that were pardoned. And then De Vos resigned.

17. Apparently. See this Twitter reply to the tweet in the OP:

5. There's a woman to the left of the line, white coat, pink hat,

videotaping the men with her iPhone as they ascend the stairs. Find out who the woman is and confiscate her iPhone. Then you'll see who the men are from the front and can begin identifying from there....

[dalton99a]

6. This woman's cellphone has their faces:

[ffr]

42. Well spotted!

[brush]

8. Would that be the Nat'l Guard finally?

[Bluethroughu]

10. No

They didn't come for hours.

[brush]

12. "for h the IRS"? What does the IRS have to do with this?

[Karadeniz]

18. Hours...

[brush]

19. What does "Hours" mean and again, what does the IRS have to do with it?

[Karadeniz]

21. I think poster's keyboard got confused or tried to help...I think he meant to type hours, the

National Guard took hours...

[brush]

22. That makes sense. And the video is late during the insurredtion...

so those troops could've been the Nat'l Guard finally arriving. But what about the poster mentioning the IRS?

[Karadeniz]

23. IRS is what poster's keyboard interpreted from something like "h rs"...

[brush]

25. That poster needs a new keyboard if that's the case.

No one can be sure what he/she really means.

[Violet_Crumble]

29. They're probs posting from their phone and it's autocorrecting weirdly...

It's no big deal. And I read it as 'hours' as well because that's the sort of thing my phone does when I send texts....

[Lucky Luciano]

30. Do you not use a smartphone?! Autocorrect can be bizarre.

[brush]

32. I use a smart phone to text and make calls but not to post here.

I use laptop with a regular sized keyboard so I haven't ran into that problem.

You learn something everyday on DU.

[ARPad95]

27. I think it should read: "They didn't come for hours after capitol breached."

[Bluethroughu]

40. Sorry it must have auto corrected

[Bluethroughu]

39. Sorry I was typing fast and it must have auto corrected!

[Blue_true]

14. Looks like a guy right beside her was video taping also. In addition, a woman with black

hair, wearing a white jacket, further up the steps also has her phone videoing them. Now that this information has been filtered down, I bet that FBI investigators and prosecutors are trying to identify anyone that knowingly or accidentally videotaped that line of men.

It is pretty obvious that most of the people there were numbnuts that got themselves in a situation that was way over their heads. If they touched a police officer or went into the Capitol off limit areas, they should be found and charged with appropriate charges for those actions, but should not face more serious charges

[yaesu]

33. Talking about the FBI, I wonder if they were smart enough to have agents infiltrate these terrorist

groups or are they too busy going after BLM?

[Blue_true]

44. My guess is the FBI has infiltrators in the groups determined to be the most dangerous.

The vast majority of the Magats that stormed the Capitol and got on the grounds or in the buildings there were most likely numbnuts that got carried away with the street action that was going on, and their own distorted view of American society. They should face charges, but I don’t consider them as dangerous as say the three Percenters, boogaloo bois, proud boys or some of the other rightwing paramilitary groups that have been proven to have a taste for violence and hurting people.

[Blue_true]

15. No, they were not dressed the way National Guard troops would be dressed,

although they clearly had some of the same tactical gear.

[BusyBeingBest]

9. That is interesting. They just kind of melted into the crowd, but some in the crowd seemed

to recognize them or expect them to pass by. They were organized to do something--take over an entrance while everyone's attention was elsewhere? Infiltrate specific parts of the building?

[BrightKnight]

16. Are they on film of other rally? Same gear as Lieutenant colonel w flex cuffs? - nt

[MyMission]

20. Perhaps they were the antifa? (Sarcasm)

Oh, wait, The antifa were accused of impersonating tRump supporters, not militia!

The FBI is doing a remarkable job of tracking these traitors. Hope they can get photos of these guys, from cell phones or perhaps outside cameras. Looks like they were wearing buffs to cover their faces, but they probably pulled them down at various points, like they do.

[highplainsdem]

24. I've posted an OP about another Twitter thread from Jan. 6 showing these were

clearly Oath Keepers:

28. The National Guard does not walk in in groups of 10

now, if it was 100... maybe
but not these assholes

[dalton99a]

31. ProPublica and FRONTLINE have identified them as Oath Keepers

The eight men, whose movements were captured on video, were identified by ProPublica and FRONTLINE as members of the Oath Keepers, a long-standing militia group that has pledged to ignite a civil war on behalf of Trump. Members of the group joined the protesters and insurrectionists flooding into the Capitol. Footage from later in the day shows Oath Keepers dragging a wounded comrade out of the building.

Stewart Rhodes, a former soldier and Yale law school graduate, who founded the Oath Keepers in 2009 and built it into a nationwide network, was seen on video standing outside the Capitol building. While he was not seen entering the Capitol, he could be seen talking with his militia followers throughout the day.

34. These groups have been out there for years, scheming and training, just itching for an

opportunity to play out their sick fantasies. Trump gave them that. Now let's hope that the FBI and other LE agencies can put this genie back in the bottle. This is terrifying.

[Hekate]

36. KnR

[SuprstitionAintthWay]

37. I remember the "Oathkeepers" from when they formed in reaction to...

...there being a black president.

They were former military and police who tried to get active duty military officers and police to sign "oaths" that they would not execute laws or obey commands under this new president, whom they regarded as illegitimate, unless they, the military or police themselves, judged the laws or orders to be constitutional and legal.

And Oathkeepers weren't prone to regard much of anything from the new "Kenyan" president to be constitutional or legal.

[ffr]

41. The guy with the sign at the bottom should have corrected his sign's wording

It should read 'this one black guy' for T----, not Blacks plural. He's the only one of his race there, in case he didn't notice.

[LiberalFighter]

43. These groups need to be decimated.

[Maru Kitteh]

45. Any progress on this?
