FBI Is Using Baked Alaska's Livestream From The Capitol Riot To Track Down Rioters
Tom Baked Alaska Gionet, one of the more prominent Trump-supporting figures online of the past four years, attended the storming of the Capitol last week, where he streamed himself and fellow rioters ransacking the offices of lawmakers, including House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, on DLive. This week, that decision has come back to bite him and everyone he filmed storming the Capitol.
The FBI has been attempting to track down the rioters over the past week. Last night, the department tweeted out a call for help identifying several people who stormed the Capitol.
The #FBI is asking for the public's help in identifying individuals who unlawfully entered the U.S. Capitol on January 6. Visit https://t.co/0JO0XyU8QG to see a new poster with more people, and if you see someone familiar, submit a tip at https://t.co/buMd8vYXzH. pic.twitter.com/sj22HXTWok

Vice pointed out two of the pictures in the FBI's poster, photographs #74 and #76, come from Gionet's stream (shown below).
Curiously, despite his confirmed presence at the riot, Gionet has not been arrested. This has led several to wonder if he's assisting the FBI with their investigation, perhaps as an informant or a plant.
if someone provides information to the feds on illegal activity they participated in but faces zero charges themselves, odds are they’re an asset or informant https://t.co/6kW7rlvTIs

What if he sent someone else to stream on his account?

Kinda curious why we didn't see this kind of attention paid to arresting BLM or Antifa. How much footage was there of the people in Portland trying night after night to break into the capitol building? How much footage is there of rioters destroying statues, or storefronts? Throwing rocks and fireworks at cops?
Prosecute these morons. Yes. That's not the problem. The problem is the defeaning silence from this summer.
You'd almost get the impression that the government is fine with riots when they're not happening nearby. Or when their target is Trump. Or that maybe, this summer's riots were an illustration. "Disobey, and this might be your neighborhood next."

Unlike the BLM riots, the protest actually was mostly peaceful
Alex Reynard
Naw, let's not play that game. A cop got bludgeoned to death. A woman was shot in the throat. Three other people died, and we still don't know how. That is not "mostly peaceful". You use that term if maybe there was a bit of shoving.

I watched the livestream. No one even laid a hand on the cops. BTW, the woman who got shot was killed by the POLICE.

If he is working with them, does he think the FBI can get between him and the stupidity of the internet?
