To Walter and Peter:
Since you’ve clearly read this by now, I’d like to address the two of you personally. I appreciate Scattini reaching out and clarifying a few things, you’ll find them noted throughout the article. Believe me, this article was not just my singling the two of you out just for fun. Scattini said in his comment (you can view it below) that he’s not even sure he’s glad he went to the rally on January 6th.
I’m sure you’re not. I’m sure you thought, like is often the case with Masterson, that you’d single out a few people, try to make them look stupid, get your sound bites, and earn your precious TikTok clout.
The problem here, fellas, is this isn’t a game, and actions have consequences. You can deflect and tell me I’m taking it too seriously, or that I’m a conspiratorial nutjob, and that’s fine. I’ve been called worse. I’m honestly not even that much of a Trump supporter, truth be told, especially given the way he handled the aftermath of January 6th (among a few other things). But I do support the America First movement, and that’s always been bigger than him.
The problem here is what you do has an impact. You might get some cheap laughs out of TikTok and you might get to paint your opposition as a bunch of lunatics, but so what? I wish you no harm, truly. I certainly wish threats of violence weren’t a common knee-jerk reaction when people see or hear things they don’t like and don’t agree with. You’ll also find, as is the case right now, that I have no issue with admitting when I get things wrong and correcting them.
But I won’t back down either.
Again, you can claim “it’s not that deep” all you want, but you don’t get to decide that for others. Just for yourself. And for me, it is that deep. The people that you single out, the “comedy” that you claim to make, is harmful to others. Everyone is capable of singling out the worst or weakest to represent an entire group like you do, but it does absolutely no good for anyone. Maybe you’re not looking to make a difference, and perhaps you just don’t care.
I don’t particularly enjoy being called a white supremacist or a terrorist threat simply for existing and having Conservative values, but people like you have no issue with ensuring people on “your side” see me that way.
And finally, I knew going into this that you’d deflect by claiming you’re “satirical.”
Why wouldn’t you? It’s your best defense, but it’s not a good one.
Either way, you’re the ones who put yourselves out there. You’re the ones who dressed up and pretended to work for news organizations you’re not affiliated with. Satire or not, that’s on you. I’m happy to issue the corrections I did, but the rest still stands.
As far as your claims that the network doesn’t extend beyond the two of you… we’ll see, won’t we?

Introduction
Over the last few weeks, more and more information keeps rolling out relating to the January 6th protest in DC, and the narrative (as always) keeps falling apart.
By January 10th, the Brian Sicknick story began to unravel, as the truth came out regarding the nature of the criminal complaint made against the Trump supporters who interacted with Sicknick on January 6th and his own family begging the media to not politicize his untimely death. None of those things have stopped left-wing news organizations and politicians (including Joe Biden) from repeating it. Here’s a video I made in mid January on the subject:
Other media outlets such as Revolver News have done a tremendous job pressing the January 6th subject, targeting inconsistencies and information gaps. Conservatives like Michelle Malkin have followed up and kept it in the limelight.
Congressman Paul Gosar has continually questioned FBI Director Chris Wray about the missing 14,000 hours of police and surveillance footage from the day.
And lastly, Tucker Carlson has been hammering home the research done almost nightly on his show.
Up until now, I’ve not done much writing of my own on January 6th, aside from sharing articles and helping to facilitate information. I hadn’t quite found an angle to investigate or anything new that hadn’t already been covered. That changed last week when an anonymous tip from a follower sent me down a rabbit hole of epic proportions, and it is indeed quite epic.
What I’ve found is a network of leftist activists and actors who infiltrate Trump rallies, posing as conservative news anchors. At times they get very close to high-profile Conservatives while playing their parts. Going so far as to carry Fox News or OAN microphones and dressing up to play the part, they visit these rallies and events and ask loaded questions of conservatives in order to make them look bad. They target people they know they can easily pick on to get their sound bites to poison the overall opinion of Conservatives and Trump voters. Most of the time it’s funny, if not a bit obvious, but it’s not like both sides don’t do it.
However, at least two of these people in particular were at the January 6th rally, including right outside the capitol building when it was breached, within the exterior scaffolding. These are not the only two people taking part in this activity, however, and the network continues to expand with my investigation. Not only that, in a video blog seen by only a few thousand people at the time I’m writing this, one of the “reporters” on the ground on January 6th claims that he and his cohort were visited by the FBI, that nothing came of the visit, and that the two told FBI agents how to infiltrate Trump events.
Meet Walter Masterson & Peter Scattini
Walter Masterson is a “New York City actor and TikTok comedian” complete with his own IMDB page. Walter has a very sarcastic method of delivery, which I’m quite certain he will attempt to weaponize when I publish this article. He varies between serious and ridiculous so often, likely in an attempt to deflect when any criticism comes his way.
For example: In a recent Facebook post, Masterson brags about the Delta flight crew “professing their love and support for the leader of Antifa.”
While this is clearly satire and meant to make fun of conservatives who claim that anyone and everyone is Antifa, Masterson posted on Twitter on September 29, 2020, saying, “ANTIFA means Anti-Fascist” and tagged President Trump. So clearly, it’s more than just a joke to him. But like I said before, deflection through humor is his game.
Masterson works with a variety of YouTubers and TikTokers who follow a similar model as he does, and was accompanied by Peter Scattini on January 6th. Scattini most recently taught musical theater and improv classes at the American Conservatory Theater in San Francisco, according to his personal website. However, like Walter Masterson, he currently calls New York his home.
Note: Scattini responded saying he no longer works in San Francisco, implying I didn’t do my homework well enough. I’m not sure how much clearer I can make it, but according to Scattini’s own website the San Francisco job is the most recent job on his CV, though he has since relocated.
Let’s look at some facts.
Fact #1: On January 6th, Walter Masterson and Peter Scattini impersonated conservative reporters and disguise themselves as Trump supporters.
Note: I have edited this to reflect, according to Scattini’s clarification, that it is mainly Masterson that makes a habit out of doing this. Scattini did accompany him on January 6th, but Masterson attends rallies much more often, and has for the past year or so.
Walter Masterson disguises himself as both a Trump supporter as well as a reporter for either CNN/Fox News/OANN, seen below in an excerpt from a longer YouTube video.. He explains that you have to have a visual.
Masterson: I’m not fucking with you, you’ve got to blend in. I know you can’t stomach wearing it [American flag mask], but you need to blend in. You need to have a visual identifier.
Masterson then holds up his Ziploc bag of microphone identifiers, including: Fox News, One America News Network, and CNN.
Scattini: I don’t know if we’re committing crimes doing this, but you know.
Masterson: Are you insinuating that I don’t work for all three of these companies simultaneously?
Scattini: I am at least a little bit insinuating that.
Masterson: They won’t trust you unless there’s a visual, like, there’s something visual.
Despite blurring out the microphone covers in the first shot, you can see Masterson here clearly holding a OAN microphone while inside the Capitol grounds.
Update: I’ve been accused of Photoshopping the microphone, which is a flat out lie. The still is a bit blurry, but the microphone is absolutely real.
Here is the source video where I got the footage, queued up to the exact moment above:
Fact #2: Walter Masterson reported to DC during January 2021 at the behest of The Young Turks.
It is unclear whether Masterson and Scattini were in DC on January 6th working for TYT or not, but Masterson does at least work for and with them from time to time, appearing alongside Cenk Uygur.
Note: Scattini has clarified that he has no affiliation with TYT.
Fact #3: Masterson and Scattini were inside the Capitol breach, they were not just present that day.
Seen here:
And here:
There are other examples, but you get my point. They were dressed as Trump supporters, impersonating Conservative news outlets, within the Capitol grounds, well beyond the doors where the breach occurred. This is the view from outside that location:
Note: Scattini did clarify that he and Walter did not enter the Capitol building itself, but they did enter the scaffolding and the front steps.
Fact #4: Walter & Peter were visited by the FBI by mid February, and nothing came of it. Masterson gave the FBI tips on how to infiltrate Trump rallies.
Note: I have edited to clarify that it was solely Masterson and not Scattini who gave the FBI tips on how to infiltrate Trump rallies. Scattini did give tips on how to grow the agent’s dog’s Instagram account, which isn’t quite the same, but kind of funny.
In a Vlog published on February 17, 2021, Scattini details how two FBI agents and one member of NYPD visited him at his apartment to discuss their being at the capitol on January 6th. The FBI seemed to not be concerned about the fact that they were both inside the capitol breach as well as impersonating news outlets. In fact, Scattini says, “Walter is giving them tips on how to infiltrate Trump rallies.”
Perhaps similarly to how the FBI and DHS attempted to recruit Green Berets to infiltrate Oath Keepers before January 6th… just afterward for in the future?
Watch your backs, friends. There are snakes among us.
In Closing
This is nowhere close to all there is to say on this subject. The information surrounding Scattini and Masterson’s presence on January 6th and beyond needs to be gone over thoroughly. I made a post in the middle of the night the other night hinting at the report that was coming and it gained a lot more traction that I’d anticipated. I wanted to be sure before I even started reporting on this that I had everything I needed to continue the investigation after breaking it initially.
The reason I am sharing this now is this is a prime opportunity for more than just myself to investigate these two and beyond. Like I said, there is a network of leftists that do the exact same thing that Masterson and Scattini do, but I’m still working on the big picture. Rest assured though: Anyone who is associated with them has had their YouTube channels, TikToks, Twitters, Facebooks, personal websites, supplementary websites completely and thoroughly archived.
Note: Scattini says there isn’t a network and I’m clearly nuts for believing that to be the case. I suppose we’ll find out, shall we?
I’ve got all your videos. All your photos. All your posts. Deleting them now will make absolutely no difference. The truth will continue to come out, as it always does.
Talk soon,

Peter S. says
I was insulted when those two little babies had to make a Tik Tok about how they were safe. They were so far off on their ‘reporting’ of injuries and death(s) that happened on 1/6. Sadly there was one death, but is was a veteran of The United States Air Force named Ashli Babbit. Nobody else was killed that day or ever died as a result of anything that happened on 1/6. Ashli was murdered without provocation. I have been shooting for 65+ yrs and it was the first time I’ve ever witnessed someone being shot and killed just for being in the spot that they occupied. Ashli had no weapon of any kind, showed no threat to anyone, but a person came out of a room, walked 4ft+/- pointed his pistol at Ashli and shot her in cold blood. I watched this on a video provided to Epoch News by a Japanese journalist who was independently covering the President Trump rally. I was shocked by what I saw. When I returned to the Epoch News site to see it again, it was still there and I studied it deeply. It happened exactly as I described it. I’m embarrassed to admit but I was sickened and I cried. I had just seen a woman killed by someone using a weapon that has been a part of my life for almost all of it. 1st.) All guns are loaded 2nd.) NEVER aim a firearm at something you do not wish to destroy. 3rd. Know your target 4th.) know what’s beyond your target. The shooter I watched INTENDED to kill a human, and did. I was and remain disgusted. I tried to get a copy of that video, thinking of her family and potential legal action, their attorney would find it valuable. It was gone from Epoch News but the journalist, I had noticed had a YouTube channel. I went her channel, found the video, and it vanished along with her entire channel with quite a few other videos, just poof. I am livid with myself because I cannot find where I wrote down her name. I am a serious American Patriot and fully believe that the Presidential election of 2020 was stolen. I’m ashamed that I let such important information slip my grasp. Mike Lindell, however will make me feel a bit better when he shares his irrefutable, inarguable evidence of the stolen election that he has collected. Mike has spent tens of millions of his own dollars hiring Cyber experts and other experts, to show that the voting machines used in the 2020 election were connected to the internet(criminal?) and the vendor or the owner and operator gave complete unfettered access to the machines via the internet to certain authorized people and entities(?) not needing passcodes. They were used and Mike will expose by whom, what time, their IP addresses & what they did. One entity was identified by Mike as China. Mike will expose much more evidence, all on August 10th, 11th, and 12th. in South Dakota at a Cyber Symposium with 72hr live streaming on frankspeech.com. Mike has offered a 5,000,000.00 reward for anyone who can prove his evidence wrong. It’s going to be exciting, and questions & statements like “so what can be done now?” or “it’s too late now.” will also be answered. The left is terrified, and of course MSM is not interested in this information at all, so we must spread this information ourselves. Please help out. ThankYou in advance Americans.

Nice work, L! Thank you for all of your research and reporting; is critical in these days of mass deception and conspiracy.

Thank you for all you do.. Godspeed

try telling that to kevin mc carthy. “there were no antifa members at the capitol on jan. 6th. they were all trump supporters.” kevin mc carthy
Moe says
McCarthy is a TURD!! I’m sure he knew all of the details of how it was a setup as China Mitch!!!
I’m so tired of these career politicians acting like we are all idiots. We are not bright enough to notice that everyone on the Republican side was supporting President Trump until Biden mysteriously came up with all of these votes. Then all of a sudden everyone turns on him and not one of the people in Congress wanted to question anything about this election? Funny considering the 2020 election is the first time the country EVER stopped counting in the middle of the night? The other is Fox News Calling Arizona for Biden when only 1% of the vote was in. I don’t even know if the polls were closed in Arizona yet. I live in the suburbs of Chicago and it was 5;00 pm Central Time when Brett Bair called Arizona for Biden, now if memory serves the farther west you go the time falls behind not ahead. It seems to me their were a whole hell of a lot of people in on this coup then just the politicians.
All of you have been found out and the proof will come forward. It is so totally disgusting that the left craves power and money so much that it will trash the greatest, freest country in the world, be in on unleashing a pandemic on the world just to get rid of a man who was doing everything he could to put his country first and helping all of America’s people get the same opportunities.
All I can say is thank you so much President Trump. and to the rest of you, you all are genuinely sick in the head and need to spend a major amount of time with the prison Psychiatrist.

Rainman says
Trump Was insanely stupid to have that rally. I knew there would be trouble. I stayed far away.
The deep state made mince meat of Trump.
But he did one thing.
He forced the deep state out into the open,
where everyone could see it.
TrumpWon says
Rainman is an apt name for somebody calling Trump stupid essentially for exposing the DS. That rally was happening regardless. Patriots all over social media were planning on going there to not only support him, but to also voice their disdain for this sham election. The deep state made mince meat of the Constitution.
Christine says
Exactly. ? Thank you for clarifying that for ‘Rainman’. Hopefully it got through to him.
Susan says
My question to you is ‘what can we do as concerned citizens about the imprisonment of the Patriots? Who do we contact? How do we draw attention to this travesty of justice?’
Atsiladiyega says
I hear you! We have got to get those people out of there before any of them suffer anymore “accidents”. Mass murderers have more rights and privileges than they do, it is a disgrace on the DOJ to allow this to happen.
Christine says
The ‘DOJ’ is too busy suing Georgia or any other State/Commonwealth in the Country who DARES to enact election cleanup legislation. That & REAL audits of the election. The ‘DOJ’>>the Dept. of INJUSTICE. They are thoroughly DISGUSTING. What they’re doing to the Patriots that they singled out from Jan. 6th is PERSECUTION. They’re trying to force vaccinate them as well as God only knows what else. I’ve heard that they’re kept in solitary confinement for 23 hours a day. I don’t know if that’s true, but I wouldn’t doubt it. I am SO SICK just thinking about how many lives have been turned upside down & ruined by these FASCISTS that are running our ‘Government’.
Karen says
Contact Bill Oreilly on fitstTv. He said to give him details of the Patriots locked up and he will investigate it

Fantastic report. Citizen journalism at its finest!
Freedom says
Masterson comes to NY rallies that the health freedom fighters do and tries to cause chaos. He then puts nasty things on IG about our peaceful rallies. People in our movement know him from the acting world.
Armed141 says
I seen an OAN person on the 6th. I asked if Larry Elder was in attendance. Now I am wondering, to whom did I speak?
Peter Scattini says
Because this article is partially about me, I’d like to issue some corrections/clarifications, because you clearly haven’t done as much research as you claim in the article (noted plainly by the fact you listed my most recent job history as somewhere I worked five years ago).
First, I don’t regularly dress up as a conservative reporter, as you insinuate in “Fact #1.” I accompanied Walter, who had been trolling conservatives more consistently, to what we believed would be a standard Trump rally and watched as DC devolved into chaos. What began as an attempt to make comedy became unintentional citizen journalism as we documented the day’s events. It is the only Trump rally I have ever been to or intend to go to.
2nd, I have no association with The Young Turks.
3rd, Walter and I never entered the capitol building, only getting as far as the front steps. You can trace our path in the video I posted to Youtube. As mentioned in my vlog, some people at the scene airdropped us their footage as we were on our way out, this is where the shot of the scaffolding comes from (even then, the scaffolding is outside the building itself).
4th, I personally didn’t give the FBI any information about how to infiltrate Trump rallies, which makes statements like “THEY GAVE THE FBI TIPS ON HOW TO INFILTRATE TRUMP RALLIES” and the title of the article both misleading and factually incorrect.
Lastly, the idea that we’re a part of some leftist network is honestly pretty hilarious. We make comedy videos on Tiktok- it’s really not that deep. Walter and I have been making satire for months- its definitely not for everyone, but to act like we’re working in concert with some grand network of ill-intentioned leftists is giving us way too much credit. We went to DC on the 6th thinking we could troll some of the people who believed the election still wasn’t over; we had no idea what we were walking into. Considering the death threats I’ve gotten from Trump supporters since making my video, as well as the fallout with the FBI and conspiratorial articles like this, I still don’t know if I’m even happy that we went. Nonetheless, we unwittingly documented history.
Cheers-
Peter
Sammy Sosa says
#1 You say in the video, yourself, “Walter gave tips”.
#2 You are a liar.
Christine says
There are MANY other videos taken by REAL America-loving Patriots, (that you delusional little lib/leftists like to make fun of), that MIGHT just show you out to be a LIAR. SO many of you leftist scumbags are adept liars & think NOTHING of doing it. You just don’t know how many real Patriots are out there hon. YOU are the MINORITY. Remember that. An ‘actor’…..yeah, RIGHT. ?
Kelly Rushing says
Both you “boys” have a great awakening coming your way. I was there on the 6th….it was glorious. Where is your love of country, love of self? Both of you boys are so far away from being MEN, you are spoiled brats who care nothing about anything but your own self satisfactions. You do not have clue what America is about or WHO YOU ARE. GROW UP and be a man, not some pansy boy crying about how scared you were when Patriots take a stand against tyranny.

Do you have any video of that? I’d care to find out
more details.
V says
Excellent find. In “We Went Undercover at the DC Riots – Vlog #2.5”, I see that the approximate time of the OAN impersonation was 3:21pm EST. Are there any other times/time ranges on January 6 that would be particularly interesting to dig through for video of undercover shenanigans?
I have close to a terabyte of archived footage collected from that day that I will put onto a map with a timeline to support independent investigations into what really happened. Would love to pull multiple angles of footage of any specific times and locations from Jan 6 to help your digging.
Shooting you an email too.
