‘We Took Over the Capitol’: Tracking the Oath Keepers Charged With Conspiracy
Videos show members of the right-wing paramilitary movement entering the Capitol during the Jan. 6 attack. The Times tracked three of them amid the mob.
One of the more notorious videos from the siege on the Capitol on Jan. 6 was this one, showing members of a right-wing paramilitary group called the Oath Keepers ascending the east steps of the building, as if in military formation. Two of the people seen in this group, Donovan Crowl and Jessica Watkins, now face multiple federal charges. A third Oath Keeper, Thomas Caldwell, seen here earlier in the day, was also charged. The government alleges that the three conspired to break into the Capitol and prevent Congress from certifying President-elect Joe Biden’s Electoral College victory. They are among the small number of people who participated in the attack to now face conspiracy charges. The Times reviewed dozens of videos and tracked the Oath Keepers as they moved around the Capitol. At around 2:35 p.m., roughly 10 minutes after the first breach of the Capitol’s eastern doors, a group of Oath Keepers, including Watkins and Crowl, can be seen ascending the east stairs. A few moments later, Watkins, Crowl and several other apparent Oath Keepers can be seen filing through the mob toward the east door that the rioters have breached. Just a few minutes later, Crowl films himself and Watkins inside the Capitol Rotunda and also posts the footage on Parler. “Took over the Capitol, overran the Capitol!” “We’re in the [expletive] Capitol, bro!” By 3:14 p.m., the Oath Keepers appear to have left the Capitol via the same door. While Watkins and Crowl have been breaching the Capitol on the east side, Caldwell has been on the west, where he was briefly interviewed outside by Insider TV. “Every single [expletive] in there is a traitor, every single one.” The F.B.I. believes Caldwell is a leader in the Oath Keepers and alleges that two days after the attack, he sent Crowl a text message that read they had “stormed the gates of corruption together.” It’s unclear whether the government will charge more Oath Keepers in connection with the attack. But more than two dozen individuals can be seen in videos that day operating alongside known members or wearing the group’s insignia.

Facebook groups swelled with at least 650,000 posts attacking the legitimacy of Joe Biden’s victory between Election Day and the Jan. 6 siege of the U.S. Capitol, with many calling for executions or other political violence, an investigation by ProPublica and The Washington Post has found. Regarding calls for the president to be prosecuted for inciting the violence, Interim  said any Capitol Police officer found to have assisted the rioters would be charged, and he further suggested that Trump could be investigated for comments he made to his supporters before they stormed the Capitol and that others who "assisted or facilitated or played some ancillary role" in the events could also be investigated.

The investigation tracked the movements of three key Proud Boys members within the mob, exposing their pivotal roles in the day's chaotic and violent events.

The investigation paints a chilling picture of a premeditated assault on American democracy.  Prosecutors have argued that the Proud Boys saw themselves as revolutionaries, celebrating the Capitol attack in private messages exchanged in the days leading up to the event. These messages, along with security footage, witness videos, and official documents, form the backbone of the government's case against the group.

The Times investigation focused on three specific Proud Boys members, meticulously tracing their movements through the throngs of rioters. The footage reveals how these individuals, acting in concert with others, actively instigated breaches at key points around the Capitol building. Their actions, captured on camera, demonstrate a clear intent to overwhelm security and gain access to the heart of American government.

This investigation adds to a growing body of evidence highlighting the organized nature of the January 6th attack. It underscores the crucial role played by extremist groups like the Proud Boys in fueling the violence and chaos that unfolded that day. The findings raise serious questions about the security failures that allowed these groups to penetrate the Capitol and the potential for future threats to democratic institutions.

The Times investigation is ongoing, and further revelations are expected. As the legal proceedings against the Proud Boys and other individuals involved in the January 6th attack continue, the full extent of the planning and coordination behind the assault on the Capitol will likely come to light.

**New York Times investigation reveals coordinated efforts by the far-right group to instigate violence**

**Washington D.C.** – A comprehensive investigation by The New York Times, utilizing court documents, text messages, and hundreds of videos, has revealed a disturbing level of coordination among members of the Proud Boys in the January 6th attack on the U.S. Capitol. The investigation tracked the movements of three key members within the mob, exposing how they systematically instigated multiple breaches of the Capitol building.

The investigation paints a chilling picture of a premeditated assault on American democracy. Text messages exchanged by Proud Boys in the days leading up to January 6th reveal a mindset of revolution and a celebration of the impending violence. Prosecutors have argued that these messages serve as crucial evidence of the group's intent and their role in orchestrating the attack.

Beyond the digital trail, video footage provides a visceral account of the Proud Boys' actions. The Times analysis tracked the movements of three individuals within the mob, demonstrating how they actively encouraged and participated in the breaching of barricades and the forceful entry into the Capitol.

One particularly disturbing video, captured by a body camera worn by a Capitol Police officer, documents the rapid escalation of violence. The footage shows officers being overwhelmed by the surging mob, highlighting the vulnerability of law enforcement in the face of the coordinated assault.

This investigation builds upon previous reporting by The Times, which has previously tracked the movements of Oath Keepers, another far-right group, during the Capitol attack. The emerging picture suggests a disturbing level of organization and planning among extremist groups who sought to disrupt the peaceful transfer of power.

The Justice Department has charged numerous Proud Boys members with seditious conspiracy, alleging they planned to use force to prevent the certification of Joe Biden's election victory. This investigation by The Times provides further evidence to support these charges and sheds light on the extent to which the Proud Boys played a central role in the January 6th insurrection.

The findings raise serious questions about the security vulnerabilities that allowed such a brazen attack to occur and the potential for future threats from extremist groups. As the legal proceedings against the Proud Boys and other individuals involved in the January 6th attack continue, the investigation by The Times serves as a stark reminder of the fragility of American democracy and the ongoing threat posed by domestic extremism.

The investigation, which draws on court documents, text messages, and hundreds of videos, paints a disturbing picture of the far-right paramilitary group's strategic planning and their direct involvement in instigating multiple breaches of the Capitol building.

The Times tracked three members of the Proud Boys through the chaos of that day, documenting their movements and actions as they worked with others to overwhelm police lines and force their way into the Capitol. This evidence adds to a growing body of information that directly implicates the group in the violence that unfolded on January 6th.

Prosecutors have already presented evidence in court showing how the Proud Boys saw themselves as revolutionaries and celebrated the Capitol attack. Their communications in the days leading up to the event, revealed through text messages analyzed by The Times, demonstrate a clear intent to disrupt the certification of the 2020 election results.

The investigation uncovered a series of coordinated actions by the Proud Boys that were crucial in breaching the Capitol's defenses. These included:

* **Forming organized "teams"**: The Proud Boys divided themselves into smaller groups, each with specific roles and objectives. This allowed them to move strategically through the crowd and target specific points of entry.

* **Using encrypted communication**: The group relied on encrypted messaging apps to coordinate their movements and avoid detection by law enforcement.

* **Exploiting weaknesses in security**: The Proud Boys identified vulnerable spots in the Capitol's perimeter and used brute force and intimidation tactics to overwhelm police officers.

This investigation sheds light on the disturbing level of planning and coordination that went into the attack. It also highlights the danger posed by extremist groups like the Proud Boys, who are willing to use violence to undermine democratic processes.

The evidence presented by The Times further strengthens the case against the Proud Boys and other extremist groups involved in the January 6th attack. It underscores the need for continued scrutiny of these organizations and the threat they pose to American democracy.

**New York Times analysis of video footage, court documents and messages reveals coordinated effort by extremist group.**

New video evidence gathered by The New York Times paints a chilling picture of the Proud Boys' role in the January 6th attack on the U.S. Capitol. The investigation, which reviewed hundreds of videos alongside court documents and text messages, reveals a meticulously planned and coordinated effort by the far-right paramilitary group to instigate multiple breaches of the Capitol building.

The footage shows members of the Proud Boys strategically positioned within the mob, utilizing coordinated tactics to overwhelm Capitol Police and force their way inside. These tactics, according to security experts, went beyond simple participation in the riot and demonstrate a pre-meditated plan to disrupt the certification of the 2020 election results.

The Times tracked three specific members of the Proud Boys through the chaos, revealing their movements and actions as they led the charge against barricades and clashed with police officers. Witness videos and police body camera footage corroborate these findings, depicting the violence and aggression employed by the group.

"This was not a spontaneous outburst of anger," said a security analyst who reviewed the Times' findings. "This was a calculated assault on American democracy, spearheaded by a group with a clear agenda."

The investigation also sheds light on the Proud Boys' internal communications leading up to January 6th. Messages obtained by The Times reveal a disturbing level of animosity towards the government and a belief that violence was necessary to prevent what they viewed as a stolen election.

These messages, coupled with the coordinated actions captured on video, demonstrate the chilling reality of the threat posed by extremist groups like the Proud Boys. As the Department of Justice continues its investigation and prosecution of those involved in the Capitol attack, The Times' findings provide crucial evidence of the premeditated nature of the assault and the role played by organized extremist groups.


The full scope of the Proud Boys' involvement and the level of their coordination with other extremist groups on January 6th remains a subject of ongoing investigation. However, the video evidence presented by The New York Times leaves little doubt that the Proud Boys played a central role in the attack, underscoring the urgent need to address the growing threat of domestic extremism in the United States.

The Times' investigation reveals how these individuals, dressed in their signature black and yellow, moved in disciplined formations, breaking through police lines and urging the crowd to follow them.

The investigation also highlights the harrowing experiences of the Capitol Police officers who were caught in the midst of the violence.

The fact that they were able to breach the Capitol and disrupt the democratic process using only their fists and makeshift weapons is a chilling reminder of the threat they pose.

Title: "Proud Boys' Coordinated Assault on the Capitol: A Visual Investigation"

On January 6, 2021, the United States Capitol was breached by a mob of protesters, among them members of the right-wing paramilitary group known as the Proud Boys. A comprehensive investigation by The New York Times has revealed the extent of the Proud Boys' involvement in the attack, tracking the movements of three key members amid the chaos.

Using a combination of court documents, text messages, and hundreds of videos, The Times has pieced together a timeline of events that shows how the Proud Boys coordinated their actions to instigate multiple breaches of the Capitol building. This visual investigation provides a chilling account of how a far-right extremist group played a pivotal role in escalating what began as a protest into a full-blown assault on American democracy.

The investigation reveals that in the days leading up to January 6, Proud Boys members exchanged numerous messages that prosecutors say demonstrate how the group viewed themselves as revolutionaries. These communications also show how they celebrated the attack on the Capitol as it unfolded.

By analyzing security footage, witness videos, and official documents, The Times has mapped out the movements of three specific Proud Boys members throughout the day. The visual evidence shows these individuals moving purposefully through the crowd, often at the forefront of key breaches and confrontations with law enforcement.

One particularly disturbing aspect of the investigation is the speed at which the situation escalated, turning police officers into victims. Body camera footage documents the intense and violent nature of the confrontations between the mob and law enforcement personnel.

The Times' investigation also sheds light on the broader context of the attack, including the actions of other far-right groups such as the Oath Keepers. The report traces how some Oath Keepers transitioned from providing security for Roger Stone to actively participating in the Capitol assault.

This in-depth visual analysis not only provides a clearer picture of the events of January 6 but also raises serious questions about the level of planning and coordination behind the attack. It underscores the dangerous potential of extremist groups to threaten the foundations of American democracy and highlights the need for continued vigilance against such threats.

The Proud Boys' role in the January 6 attack has been a subject of intense scrutiny, with many lawmakers and law enforcement officials accusing the group of being a key driver of the violence. The Times' investigation provides new evidence of the group's involvement and raises questions about the extent to which they were able to coordinate with other far-right groups, such as the Oath Keepers.

The Oath Keepers, a militia group that has been linked to several high-profile extremist incidents, has also been accused of playing a role in the January 6 attack. The Times has previously reported on the group's involvement, including the participation of six members who provided security for Roger Stone, a longtime ally of former President Donald Trump, before joining the riot.

The January 6 attack on the US Capitol was a pivotal moment in American history, marking a new level of violence and extremism in the country's politics. The Times' investigation provides a detailed look at the events of that day and the role of the Proud Boys in the attack.

A months-long investigation by The New York Times has uncovered a trove of evidence that sheds light on the pivotal role of the far-right Proud Boys in the January 6 attack on the United States Capitol. Through a meticulous analysis of court documents, text messages, and hundreds of videos, our investigation has tracked the movements of three members of the paramilitary movement, revealing a coordinated effort to instigate multiple breaches of the Capitol.

The Proud Boys, a right-wing extremist group, have been at the center of the government's case against those responsible for the violence on January 6, which left five people dead and many more injured. Prosecutors have argued that the group's leaders saw themselves as revolutionaries and celebrated the attack, which they believed was a key moment in their quest to overthrow the government.

Our investigation has found that the Proud Boys played a critical role in the breach of the Capitol, with teams of members working together to overwhelm security and storm the building. The evidence, which includes hundreds of messages exchanged by Proud Boys in the days leading up to January 6, reveals a sophisticated plan to use violence and intimidation to achieve their goals.

One video obtained by The Times shows a group of Proud Boys, including several of the individuals tracked by our investigation, making their way towards the Capitol on the morning of January 6. The video, shot by a bystander, captures the group's militaristic attire and their apparent coordination, as they move in formation towards the Capitol.

Another video, taken by a security camera, shows a different group of Proud Boys pushing their way past police officers and into the Capitol building. The footage is striking, as it reveals the ease with which the group was able to overcome the security measures in place.

Our investigation has also uncovered evidence of the Proud Boys' coordination with other far-right groups, including the Oath Keepers, who were also involved in the attack. The evidence suggests that these groups worked together to plan and execute the breach of the Capitol, using their combined strength to overwhelm the security forces.

The government's case against the Proud Boys and other far-right groups involved in the attack has relied heavily on the messages exchanged by the group's leaders in the days leading up to January 6. These messages, which were obtained by The Times, reveal a sense of excitement and anticipation among the group's members, who saw the attack as a key moment in their quest to overthrow the government.

Prosecutors have argued that the Proud Boys' plan was to use violence and intimidation to disrupt the certification of the presidential election results, which were being held in the Capitol on January 6. The evidence suggests that the group's leaders believed that the attack would be a turning point in their struggle against the government, and that it would mark the beginning of a new era of violence and resistance.

The investigation by The Times has shed new light on the events of January 6, and has highlighted the critical role played by the Proud Boys and other far-right groups in the attack on the Capitol. The evidence obtained by our investigation has also raised questions about the ability of law enforcement to prevent similar attacks in the future, and has sparked renewed calls for action to address the threat posed by far-right extremism in the United States.

As the government's case against the Proud Boys and other far-right groups continues to unfold, The Times will continue to provide in-depth coverage of the investigation and its findings. Our reporting has already shed new light on the events of January 6, and has highlighted the critical need for greater awareness and understanding of the threat posed by far-right extremism in the United States.
**Videos Reveal Proud Boys' Coordinated Breach of U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6**

A months-long investigation by The New York Times has uncovered new evidence of the coordinated effort by the Proud Boys, a right-wing paramilitary group, to instigate multiple breaches of the U.S. Capitol on January 6. Through a review of court documents, text messages, and hundreds of videos, the investigation reveals how the group's members, who saw themselves as revolutionaries, worked together to overwhelm law enforcement and storm the Capitol.

The investigation tracked three members of the Proud Boys, who were seen on video entering the Capitol building amid the mob of rioters. The footage shows how the group's members used their numbers and coordination to push past police lines and break into the building.

The Times' investigation also analyzed the Proud Boys' communications in the days leading up to the attack, which prosecutors say show a clear intent to incite violence. "We're gonna take the building," one Proud Boy wrote in a text message to his fellow members. "We're gonna make history."

On the day of the attack, the Proud Boys were seen gathering near the Capitol, where they linked up with other far-right groups, including the Oath Keepers. As the crowd grew and tensions escalated, the Proud Boys were at the forefront of the push to breach the Capitol.

One video obtained by The Times shows a group of Proud Boys using a makeshift battering ram to break through a police barricade. Another video shows the group's members pushing past police officers and into the Capitol building.

"It didn't take rifles or explosives," prosecutor Conor Mulroe told a judge in a recent court hearing. "There was a very real possibility we were going to have a lot more than five people dead."

The Proud Boys' role in the January 6 attack has been the subject of intense scrutiny in recent months. The group's leader, Enrique Tarrio, was arrested and charged with conspiracy in connection with the attack. Other members of the group have also been charged and are facing trial.

The Times' investigation is the latest to shed light on the coordinated effort by far-right groups to storm the Capitol on January 6. The attack left five people dead and hundreds more injured, and has been widely condemned as a violent insurrection against the U.S. government.

As the investigation continues, lawmakers and law enforcement officials are working to prevent similar attacks in the future. The FBI has launched a nationwide investigation into the Proud Boys and other far-right groups, and several bills have been introduced in Congress aimed at preventing domestic terrorism.

The Proud Boys have been designated as a hate group by the Southern Poverty Law Center, and have been linked to numerous violent incidents across the country. The group's ideology is centered around the idea of a perceived war between the far right and the far left, and its members have been known to use violence to intimidate and silence their opponents.

The January 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol was a stark reminder of the dangers posed by far-right extremism in the United States. As the country continues to grapple with the aftermath of the attack, The Times' investigation provides a disturbing look at the coordinated effort by the Proud Boys to instigate violence and destruction.
**"New Evidence Reveals Proud Boys' Coordinated Attack on Capitol, Leaving Trail of Violence and Death"**

**Videos and Documents Expose Right-Wing Paramilitary Movement's Role in January 6 Insurrection**

A monthslong investigation by The Times has uncovered shocking new evidence of the Proud Boys' coordination and involvement in the January 6 attack on the United States Capitol. The evidence, gathered from court documents, text messages, and hundreds of videos, reveals a sinister plot by the right-wing paramilitary movement to instigate multiple breaches of the Capitol, leaving a trail of violence and death in its wake.

As the investigation demonstrates, the Proud Boys, a group known for their white nationalist ideology, saw themselves as revolutionaries and celebrated the Capitol attack as a triumph. The group's messages, exchanged in the days leading up to January 6, highlight their extremist views and their willingness to use violence to achieve their goals.

Using a combination of security footage, witness videos, and official documents, The Times has tracked the movements of three Proud Boys members who entered the Capitol during the attack. The investigation reveals that these individuals, along with other members of the group, formed a critical part of the mob that stormed the Capitol, leaving officers injured and five people dead.

One video, obtained by The Times, shows a group of Proud Boys breaching the Capitol's outer doors and making their way into the building. The footage, which has not been publicly released before, highlights the coordination and determination of the group as they push their way through the crowds and overwhelm security.

Another video, from a body camera worn by a Capitol Police officer, documents the rapid escalation of violence as the Proud Boys and other members of the mob attack the officers. The footage shows officers being beaten and pepper-sprayed, and in some cases, unable to defend themselves against the onslaught.

Prosecutors have argued that the Proud Boys' actions on January 6 were no accident, but rather the result of a carefully planned and coordinated effort to disrupt the certification of the presidential election results. "There was a very real possibility we were going to have a complete breakdown of the government," said Conor Mulroe, a prosecutor involved in the case.

The investigation also reveals that the Proud Boys saw themselves as part of a larger movement, one that aimed to overthrow the government and establish a new order. Their messages, which were exchanged on encrypted apps and social media platforms, highlight their extreme ideology and their willingness to use violence to achieve their goals.

As the investigation continues, The Times will provide further updates on the Proud Boys' involvement in the January 6 attack. The new evidence raises serious questions about the role of extremist groups in American politics and the dangers of unchecked violence and radicalization.
