(24,993 posts)44. Russia was in the Capitol January 6.
The open-source intelligence group Blue Hatz posted this side-by-side image comparison that they say proves Charles Bausman was inside the U.S. Capitol building during the Jan. 6 insurrection.

Jan. 6 Video Suggests 'Russia Insider' Entered Capitol

SPLC, September 23, 2021
Russia Insider founder Charles Bausman breached the walls of the U.S. Capitol building on Jan. 6, according to research conducted by a Europe-based open-source intelligence (OSINT) group into video captured during the insurrection.
The findings by the OSINT group build on Hatewatch reporting showing that Bausman traveled to Washington, D.C., on the day of the insurrection, then disappeared from his home in Lancaster, Pennsylvania, and reemerged in Moscow. In the months since, he has served as a talking head on Russian television, commenting on American affairs with a reactionary point of view. Hatewatch previously noted that Bausman claimed on a Russian Orthodox Christian-themed television station to have stopped short at the Capitols balustrades without entering the building. Footage obtained by the OSINT group, in which a man bearing a strong resemblance to Bausman is visible inside the Capitol, appears to contradict his account.
The OSINT group, whose members choose to remain anonymous, goes by the name Blue Hatz. A person who operates a Twitter account associated with the group described them to Hatewatch as an independent international team of 15 OSINTers and investigators from Europe, Russia, Ukraine and US who have been using found footage to identify those who breached the Capitol building on Jan. 6. In the Russian television interviews, Bausman claims to be a journalist covering the events of Jan. 6, rather than a pro-Trump demonstrator. But the man the OSINT group believes to be Bausman shown in side-by-side images in a tweet they published can be seen wearing a red, Trump-branded hat, blending in with other supporters of the 45th president inside a hallway. The video shows the man strolling and taking video with his cell phone as rioters move through the Capitol building.

MTG would not have the intelligence or self-discipline to manage what the bomber did and keep quiet.

And Trump's ties with the Russian mafia do not reflect on Lunyk at all, do they?
