This also explains why Steve Bannon suddenly has a counter-narrative and Fall Guy (Steve Rhodes secretly worked for feds and tricked MAGAs into the insurrection). Yeah, that’s it, Steve. 1/
.@January6thCmte: Subpoena Steve Bannon’s friends, Teddy Daniels & Frank Scavo, immediately. Ask about their pre-January 6 contacts, if any, w/ Bannon and/or Trump and with allegedly violent insurrectionist Sam Lazar. Daniels was so freaked by my question that he blocked me. 1/
2/ Daniels recently challenged a local PA journalist to an in person confrontation to take place tomorrow. He is a thug and a blow hard who never backs down - except it seems when asked about Sam Lazar.
3/ This is the local journalist that MAGA candidate Teddy Daniels has challenged to an in person confrontation scheduled for TOMORROW. These are the Old Forge & Scranton, PA MAGAs and they are out of control. thetimes-tribune.com/opinion/column…
“Grant Woods, longtime friend of McCain & former Arizona AG, dies at 67” - 10/23/21
Grant Woods was a good man. He spoke out against the Bush DOJ’s political prosecution of @DonSiegelman, which Obama & Holder refused to rectify. 1/ thehill.com/homenews/state…
Look over here. Steve Bannon was a guest speaker for a 12/29/20 “Stop the Steal” event w/:
* Sean Moon, leader of a MAGA-loving AR15 church
*Daryl M. Brooks, Giuliani “voter fraud” witness, convicted sex offender, whose 1/6 FB post is below
* Frank Scavo, 1/6 FB post below. 1/
2/ Daryl Brooks claimed w/o evidence that his FB was hacked & that he wasn’t inside the Capitol or looking for Watson’s office. His pal, Scavo, claimed that he (Scavo) was not inside the Capitol until he was burned by the photo he took of himself inside the Capitol.
3/ Scavo is from Old Forge. Trump made this random stop there on the day of Bannon’s arrest.
Bannon is focusing on the decision to breach the Capitol (as opposed to merely planning protests outside) & seems to be trying to blame the head of the Oathkeepers (Stewart Rhodes) & his deputy (Epps). 1/ t.me/praying_medic/…
He is correct that planning of the breach matters a lot more than planning of outdoor events. But I suspect he is scapegoating w/ Epps and Rhodes. 2/
Bannon has said that he opposes Islamic extremism. Ironically, he has no apparent problem w/ Christian extremism &, as recently as 2014, belonged to the CNP, which opposes abortion rights & gay marriage & wants to bring God into schools. @jennycohn1 w/ @NicoleSandler 1/
CNP members & affiliated groups were involved in organizing the January 6 protest that turned violent. They are also involved in manufacturing faux outrage over CRT & mask mandates, which has fueled the (sometimes violent) attacks on public schools. 2/ nicolesandler.com/10-25-21/
Although I didn’t mention it in the interview, Bannon also has no apparent problem with the MAGA-loving “religious sect” that worships with AR15s and is an offshoot of the Moonies “church.” So much for Bannon’s concern with religious extremism. 3/
If @January6thCmte wants to know about premeditated plans for violence, they should speak to Frank Scavo of Old Forge, PA. Cuz he hangs w/ the AR15 cult (#MAGAMoonies), his lawyer is Bannon's pal (Ernie Preate, a convicted felon), & he seemed to know what was about to happen. 1/
