“What did Steve Bannon know and when did he know it? Ask his Pennsylvania pals [including Frank Scavo].” by Jennifer Cohn
link.medium.com/ofp25pPoLmb
“Bannon has spoken at several events — on October 2020, December 29, 2020, and October 2021 — alongside Sean Moon, the leader of a Trump-loving ‘Christian’ sect in Pennsylvania called the Rod of Iron Ministries, which worships with AR-15 automatic rifles.” 1/
2/ “Moon, who often wears a crown of bullet casings, was videotaped outside the Capitol on January 6, 2021, with some of his followers, as reported by DC Report.”
3/ “During the December 29 speaking engagement with Bannon, Moon was introduced by Frank Scavo, a local Pennsylvania man from Old Forge.”
4/ “Old Forge is a tiny enclave. In March 2020, Bannon’s associate, Ernie Preate, a convicted felon and former Pennsylvania AG [and soon to be Scavo defense counsel] took Bannon to a pizzeria in Old Forge called Arcaro & Genell.”
5/ “Trump himself [bizarrely] visited Old Forge for a small campaign rally on August 20, 2020, the date of Bannon’s arrest on charges that he misused funds from his ‘Build the Wall’ project.” Scavo was there.
6/ “That day, Trump made an unscheduled visit to Arcaro & Genell. (Photo via National Journal)”
7/ “This Twitter account says that Trump ‘had a very small meeting with select Trump supporters’ that summer in Old Forge. I asked for details [was it during this campaign stop in August?] but received no response.”
8/
9/ “Many are afraid to say it, but this is not a close race
The reasons Trump was underestimated in 2016 no longer apply. In fact, he's his own worst enemy.” - August 2020 nationaljournal.com/s/709328/many-…
10/ “On December 30, Scavo called into Bannon’s War Room podcast to publicize a pro-Trump rally outside a state lawmaker’s home, which was attended by Moon and his followers in Lancaster, Pennsylvania. Scavo later said that he got the idea for the protest from Bannon’s podcast.”
11/ “The same day, Bannon allegedly advised Trump to focus his efforts on January 6.”
12/ “On January 3, according to Lancaster online, the Oathkeepers and other “patriot groups” held their final January 6 planning meeting in Lancaster, Pennsylvania.”
13/ “On his January 5 podcast, as reported by Media Matters, Bannon said that “‘we put calls out last night trying to put bail up’ for the leader of the Proud Boys Enrique Tarrio.”
14/ “Bannon also boasted that “after hours we’re on skyping these calls in Lackawanna county [where Old Forge is located] and to patriot groups around and conservative groups and Tea Party groups…”
15/ There’s a lot more in the piece. Please read it & share if you find it helpful. Please tag @January6thCmte. Thanks!

Peter Thiel has implied that giving women the right to vote was a mistake. He’s also a billionaire, self-professed “Christian,” & longtime critic of “multiculturalism” who bankrolled JD Vance in 2022. Some Christian extremists thus embrace him despite his homosexuality (he was outed by Gawker). 1/Image
3/ Thiel co-wrote “The Diversity Myth” with David Sacks. independent.org/store/book.asp…
