The truck's owner, Lonnie Leroy Coffman, was arrested at 6pm January 6, while returning to his truck after the day's events.

Pre-Trial Detention, and contains pics of this and other evidence:

It is starting to look like many Republican officeholders were involved in this. Rep. Mikie Sherrill (D-11, Montclair), said during a live webcast Tuesday evening,that she witnessed some members of Congress leading people through the Capitol on Jan. 5 in what she termed a "reconnaissance for the next day".
The newly elected MAGA from CO tweeting out the speaker's whereabouts (or non-whereabouts).
And I am sure there are more.
Please DO NOT allow your reps and Senators to let these pieces of the puzzle slide.

democratic process. One was a handwritten note with words purportedly attributed to Abraham
Lincoln We The People Are The Rightful Masters Of Both The Congress And The Courts, Not
To Overthrow The Constitution But To Overthrow The Men Who Pervert The Constitution
(emphasis added). The note also contained information about elected representatives (describing
one as purportedly Muslim) and describing a judge as a bad guy. Another set of handwritten
messages were found on the back of a magazine, and contained purported contact information for
Conservative Talk Show Host Mark Levin, Shaun [sic] Hannity, and Senator Ted Cruz.

to violently attack our elected representatives.

those numbers may be the regular call numbers where he can tell the call screener they just took the capitol and move to the top of the line after going back for their weapons, or there may have been efforts to use talk radio to gin up support. call screening software recognizes phone number and can prioritize.
he might have been a regular caller or a paid caller - which has been shown to be a thing. you can't call hannity on fox but you can get through to national blowhards if they might be coordinating with paid and arranged callers.
they're getting a lot more crap from years and hours in the car or garage listening to the limbaughs hannitys levins becks etc i remember a few months before the election a revolution was coming, etc. the giuliani/powell press conference was timed to the limbaugh show and he already knew what they were going to say. a day after the riot he was still calling it a stolen election and warnock and ossoff and john brennan were "communists"
there is no way to have a healthy democracy while the left and dems ignore talk radio
and dems or at least media needs to investigate russian use of talk radio since at least 2008, when manafort was mccains campaign cochair and limbaugh wouldnt back him until minutes after he chose palin, who was being wooed by russian oil money, and timed to the beginning of the limbaugh show.

(1,898 posts)The tech is here now and it's not that expensive and open source. Multiple stations could be monitored at once - a text document produced and the results posted. A database could track coordination efforts and report that too. The public needs to know about this shit & unfortunately most of us lack the stomach or patience to listen to the right wing drivel.

they were trying to be 'bipartisan' probably with the sample they listed - about 50 talk stations. they balanced equal amounts of 'conservative' talk stations vs public and college stations, which is ridiculous considering its a 90-95% bias and those college and public stations are not part of a coordinated propaganda operation
it's a bit of greek to me but its a prototype the dem party or some media org should be expanding on, unless they still think the most dominant media factor getting us here is irrelevant and want to keep studying fish without water

(21,432 posts)is concerning since it indicates an intent for further violence. The contact information for members of Congress seems less significant. Anyone can look up contact info for elected officials. It would only be significant if the numbers were private ones given out only to a select few people.
