HOW IT'S GOING

An image of that moment made its way to federal agents thanks to tipsters.
But more recently, it also became the cover of Brodnax’s new rap album, “The Capital.”
Brodnax, who raps under the name Bugzie the Don, admitted to investigators in the weeks following the insurrection that he went inside the Capitol on Jan. 6, but claimed that he was already in Washington to shoot a music video and entered the building simply because he wanted to take photos and video, according to court documents.
But federal investigators have a different interpretation of his appearance in the Capitol. They arrested him on March 11 — days after he released his album — and as of last Tuesday, Brodnax faces four federal charges, including unlawful entry and disorderly conduct.

HOW IT STARTED: From a related thread right after the insurrection:
What is life right now?” Sullivan then asked the man next to him if he knew what the huge painting in front of them was. The man, a Richmond, Virginia rapper named Bugzie the Don replied: “I don’t even know, but I know we’re in this motherfµcker.”
“We are, dude, this is unreal,” Sullivan said.
“Tell ’em we’re here,” the rapper added, “Bugzie the Don in the building.”
The rapper, who later retweeted video of himself and Sullivan inside the Rotunda that was broadcast on CNN, told me in an Instagram message that he was not there in support of Trump’s delusional fantasies of election fraud. “I’m far from a Trump supporter,” he wrote. “I really don’t even get into politics at all. It was an experience for me and that’s really the only reason I was there.”

With a cigar in his right hand and an American flag draped by his side, Antionne DeShaun Brodnax sat on a U.S. Capitol Police SWAT truck as hordes of Trump supporters climbed the Capitol steps, storming the building behind him.An image of that moment made its way to federal agents thanks to tipsters.

Weakest link? "BLM activist" John Sullivan/JaydenX accused of leading Capitol riots
A bit of clickbait in the subject line there, and this is long as fµck. TLDR: The Right, specifically, has gleefully glommed on to the idea that this dude, John Sullivan aka "Activist John" aka "JaydenX," was the leader of the insurrection, though there is no real evidence of that. He has been...
