Four days after Trump and the Kremers (Women for America First) announced the January 6 event in D.C., Trump pardoned Paul Manafort. The pardon came right on time for Manafort to help prepare the march to the Capitol. (Thread)

The primary vendor for the events of January 6 was Event Strategies, a company co-owned by Manafort, Tim Unes, and Bobby Peede. The company also worked on Donald Trump's campaign events and inauguration ceremony - which is under investigation for money laundering, right?
Event Strategies' history with political conflict dates back to Ukraine, where Manafort & the company were funded by Russia to help elect Putin's candidate, Yanukovych. The job included creating agitation among Yanukovych's supporters & organizing them to act on their agitation.
Manafort, Unes, and Peede directed entire campaign events from start to finish to create the desired effect, down to the smallest detail. All to rally the base to action through agitation. And these men were responsible for the speech before the Capitol attack.
Before Ukraine, Manafort & Roger Stone worked together at Black, Manafort, Stone, & Kelly. The firm was branded as a PR company but lobbied for dictators. Stone appeared at a Trump event in D.C. the night before the Capitol attack. Also organized by Manafort's team? Probably.
Financial data shows that Manafort's company received over $1 million from Trump's campaign and other pro-Trump groups leading up to the election. It's likely Manafort & friends have been involved in every public event for Trump's re-election. Months of agitating the base.
This whole time that Manafort's company has been helping Trump agitate his base to action, guess who's helped direct the action? The Kremers / Women for America First. They didn't just promote the Jan. 6 march... trumpfile.org/members-of-ban…
Amy Kremer is on the board of governors for the Council for National Policy -- and the CNP has been directing action from Trump supporters since the start of the pandemic. Remember those anti-mask protests? CNP. trumpfile.org/far-right-grou…
The same circles of people including (but not limited to) the Kremers, Stone, Manafort's company, and CNP members have been involved in MONTHS of live events. Trump tweets & rallies fuel MAGA anger. Then Kremers / CNP push them to ACT on their anger. They should be investigated.
Long story short, the Capitol attack is absolutely the result of MONTHS of Trump and his buddies testing out smaller protests / riots / events. They wanted to know how far they could push his cult of followers, and they found out.
P.S. Manafort was serving time AT HOME because of COVID-19, so we have no idea how involved he was even before Trump pardoned him.
P.S.2. I learned more last night. Trump Camp used "Stop The Steal" when Ted Cruz was ahead in 2016. They said it was rigged. They used stopthesteal.org, owned by Roger Stone. It was active again to raise money before the Capitol attack, redirecting to a donation page. 
The donor page that stopthesteal.org redirected to on January 1, 2021, is telling. Stone says he's raising money for PRIVATE SECURITY. Did Stone pay for some of the armed, trained men who entered the Capitol with MAGAs? If so, what was the mission? @sarahkendzior
