12/30/21 Darren Beattie on the Mysterious Men Who Breached the Capitol
Scott interviews Darren J. Beattie of Revolver News about the in-depth articles he’s written about the riot at the Capitol last January. Beattie’s reporting uses video and photo evidence to highlight a number of individuals who were instrumental in breaching the Capitol grounds and in directing rally-goers towards the building. But while hundreds of attendees have been charged for their actions that day, this group of instigators has remained virtually untouched by federal investigators. Scott and Beattie discuss possible explanations and look at the broader context beyond the riot.
Discussed on the show:
- Tucker Carlson’s Patriot Purge (IMDb)
- “Meet Ray Epps” (Revolver)
- “Meet Ray Epps, Part 2” (Revolver)
- The Secret Life of Bill Clinton by Ambrose Evans-Pritchard
- The Terror Factory by Trevor Aaronson
Darren J. Beattie is a former White House official and the founder and editor of Revolver. Follow him on Twitter @DarrenJBeattie

Jason Ditz, managing news editor at Antiwar.com, discusses Pentagon criticisms of WikiLeaks’ Iraq War logs for simultaneously endangering the troops and having so little new information as to be non-newsworthy, exposing the military’s assertion that ‘we don’t do body counts‘ as a total lie, differing U.S. reactions to the nearly identical torture practices of Saddam Hussein’s regime and post-occupation Shi’ite allies and why the New York Times — despite a 10 week advance preview of the WikiLeaks documents — decided to lead with thin evidence of Iranian support for Iraqi militias.
