The activists who initially identified Robinson—and have asked to remain anonymous—spent weeks scouring public records and open sources to find the name of the man seen in FBI wanted posters.

Robinson might have remained unidentified if not for an appearance at a Sept. 24 protest in Arizona against the state’s COVID-19 restrictions and in support of the state GOP’s conspiracy-addled election “audit.” In a video of the protest posted to YouTube, Robinson is visible wearing the same Farm Boy-brand oilskin “Freedom” hat seen on the armed suspect on Jan. 6.

Robinson wore the same hat in a profile photo for a Telegram account linked to his phone number.

At the Capitol, Robinson was also visible wearing a black and white bandana with the word “Salida'' written across it. Activists were able to trace the cloth to a July 2020 promotional bandana from Colorado’s Chaffee County, home to the towns of Salida and Buena Vista. Robinson had been tagged by a friend in an Instagram photo of Salida, Colorado which noted the two men’s “summer adventures” there.

Footage of Robinson on Jan. 6 shows the distinctive grip and magazine of a coyote tan SIG Sauer P230 handgun sticking out above his pants beneath a denim jacket. Robinson’s appearance in footage of the riot with an apparent firearm puts him among a select group of people in attendance at the insurrection, only a handful of which are known to have carried firearms at the time.

Clear photographic evidence should put that MAGAt trash away for a looooong time.

3. I wish they'd find the pipe bomber who

left several bombs around DC before the insurrection. His/her sneakers were very specific and they were documented.

4. psychos

One and all

[dupagelib]

5. Who pays his defense?

I'm sure trump will, or the rnc, oh yeah they're paying trump's legal bills. Sooner or later some one will suggest George Sorros.

[we can do it]

12. They're not paying the peons defense.

They’re sticking them with it. One reason why some are singing.

[Poiuyt]

14. And how is it that the RNC is paying for Trump's private legal fees?

If I donated to the RNC, I'd be mad.

6. Lock this idiot up

7. SOMEONE won't be getting much sleep for the next several nights.

[gratuitous]

15. I'd bet a shiny nickel he thought he'd gotten away clean, too

When months go by and that knock at the door doesn't come, it's natural to let it go into the past. I'd bet Mr. Robinson has thought for a while that he wasn't going to be identified. Too bad, so sad.

16. I know right?

8. Just a tourist, lost in a crowd of like minded tourist, out touring.

[ProfessorGAC]

18. Absolutely!

What tourist doesn't go into a closed federal building with a handgun? Totally normal tourist behavior!

9. This raises the question about the fbi itself.

Are they understaffed or have not allocated enough to the January 6th investigation ? If random people can track down these terrorists simply by doing research from openly available documents and social media , why can't the fbi ?
This is not a one off. Amateur sleuths have unmasked quite a few of them already.

[Nay]

10. Yes, it does.

And I'm not surprised. All law enforcement agencies have been filled with RWers on purpose, just as they have filled all sorts of positions in government, corporations, etc. That's how determined RWers are to take complete power.

[PatSeg]

11. That is an awful lot of people to track down

and meanwhile, they do have other crimes to investigate. It surely helps to appeal to the public for information, a law enforcement tradition for many years.

21. The FBI employs only 35,000 people.

I say only because there are multitudes out there searching for these people on all the social media

[NowISeetheLight]

13. These sedition hunter guys are great

I love how they’re using technology and good old fashioned detective work to catch these criminals.

[Mysterian]

19. Kind of like what the FBI should be doing

Why didn't the FBI catch this guy?

[NowISeetheLight]

20. Manpower

I think it’s just manpower. These guys are going thru social media and everything else. It’s like a hobby that’s a job. I cant imagine the man hours they’re putting in.

17. Good news is that they've got a state prison in Buena Vista.

He can be close to his family.
