2/ Curating some threads.
Roger Stone: multiple #OathKeepers seen providing security to Roger Stone on Jan 5 & 6 went on to participate in the #Capitol siege per @nytimes.
3/ Ali Alexander marched to the #Capitol alongside Alex Jones. Ali was telling his followers to "Get down to the US CAPITOL! Orders from POTUS"
4/ Ali Alexander said that he alongside @RepGosar @RepMoBrooks @RepAndyBiggsAZ "schemed up" a way to put pressure on members of congress "hearing our loud war from outside"
Thankfully @jason_paladino grabbed a copy of the now-deleted video.
5/ Alex Jones marched to the #Capitol, telling everyone the were going there to meet Trump.
At the Capitol he seems to have gotten spooked. While still leading fiery chants, he also encouraged the crowd to 'be peaceful.'
6/ Alex Jones & Ali Alexander say they didn't plan *this outcome.*
Truth is: they riled up a mob with falsehoods & fiery rhetoric. Then lead it to the #Capitol. They bear a share of moral responsibility.
We'll see what justice system determines.
7/ A Roger Stone has also said..on Russian TV no less... that he played no role. We'll see.
He's already been caught in a falsehood about the 6th. Said he'd never left his hotel room on 6th.. But he was filmed outside w/ #OathKeepers.
