1) I did the mother of all excel spreadsheets of Jan 6 Plugged in all the reporting and where all my photographer friends were. We were at all the breachs and inside. I was on the west side for 5 hours @MSNBC @RichardEngel @bellingcat report is accurate and excellent.
2) The first breach of the Capitol was on the north west side at 2:11 Dominic Pezzola whom I filmed w/the Proud Boys at Wash monument at 10:30 and marching to the Capitol. But there was another breach one minute later at 2:12 on the south west side where another friend entered
3) The breach on the east entrance was 2:15 I was in west front at 2:30 when a guy on a bullhorn yelled “there’re in” I thought he meant up on the stairs where people started flooding. It was such chaos I knew nothing of the fighting till 6pm when I left.
4) my friends were at all the breaches and inside and none of us knew what was happening anywhere else. There was no cell signal where I was I saw the blood on the ground when I got to the scaffolding that was my first realization.
5) Trump was supposed to speak at 11 but he was an hour late at 12 and ended at 1:11. The first barricade breach was 12:53 while he was still speaking! He waited to give them cover
6) The untold story is why there were no police deployed after hours of rioting? Because my friends were documenting at all the flashpoints my timeline gives a unique “hologram” of the day.
7) 3:15 Rioters are still trying to push their way through the tunnel where officer Hedges is crushed in the door. Phone logs reported in the @washingtonpost showed they were communicating within someone not there. WHO?
8) At 4:08 Mike Pence called Chris Miller to ask for help. On Nov 13 Trump fired all the brass in the Pentagon and installed Miller. On Jan 4 he wrote a letter ordering the police to stand down!
9) At 4:10 I filmed a guy on a bullhorn (now indicted from that video he was in Pelosi’s office with Barnett guy next to him) reading Trump’s tweet from 2:24 and urging “we the people” to keep fighting! https://twitter.com/sandibachom/status/1358639333943762944
10) At 4:18 after REFUSING to send in the National Guard all day, Chris Miller gives approval. At 4:20 this guy says “Mayor Bowser wanted to send in the National Guard but the Defense Dept says no thank you” How did he know that? https://twitter.com/sandibachom/status/1348328459001602048
11) At 4:17 Trump releases a video denouncing the violence but maintaining the election was stolen. At 4:53 the fighting continues as media equipment is smashed and at 5 rioters are pushed from the west terrace by police as they yell “F**k you traitors. We had your backs”
12) The National Guard finally arrived to enforce the 6pm curfew. There is so much more to this story. The Oath Keepers and Proud Boys are ONLY soldiers. Who are the generals giving the orders? Flynn. Stone. Trump. Who else?
