In recent years, "Stone has taken his 'game' to dangerous new heights by joining forces with InfoWars host Alex Jones..and the Proud Boys, a violent extremist group that Canada has designated a terrorist organization." 1/ jennycohn1.medium.com/roger-stone-al…
This alliance has combined with weaponized social media (also at the hands of Stone and his associates), creating an extremely volatile situation that imperils both America and its international allies. 2/

3/ “Here’s a photo that was posted to [Roger] Stone’s Instagram account around the time of the 2016 election.” Stone’s ties to the Proud Boys go back further and run deeper than most people realize. h/t @LeaLovesUSA
Roger Stone covered the 2016 RNC with Alex Jones/InfoWars. So did Joe Biggs, who assaulted a guy outside the RNC. In 2021, Biggs wld be was the first of 4 Proud Boys leaders to be arrested in connection with the Capitol attack.” He breached the Capitol not once but 2X. 1/
3/ Per the NYT, internal chats suggest Biggs “was in communication with the group’s chairman, Enrique Tarrio, on the night before the assault.” (In 2019, Stone wld tell the judge presiding over his perjury trial that Tarrio was one of his ‘volunteers’ who was often at his house.)
I didn’t know Breitbart was involved in outing Weiner in 2011. I did know that Roger Stone associate Chuck Johnson was involved in the 2016 debacle that allowed the NY FBI to seize Weiner’s laptop, which miraculously contained Clinton emails, persuading Comey to reopen … 1/
the damn HRC email investigation right before the election (only to discover that the Clinton emails on Weiner’s laptop were duplicates, & isn’t it weird/convenient that they were on there at all? He was married to Clinton’s personal assistant but she didn’t use his laptop.) 2/
I discuss some of that here. See what Roger Stone did to journalist Bob Norman in 2011 or 2012. With his protege Andrew Miller, Stone created a literally fake news site too. (He later created another one with a different protege, Jacob Engels). 2/ jennycohn1.medium.com/roger-stone-wa…
He used fake accounts to infiltrate @RogerWants’ Facebook groups around this time too. 3/
Roger Stone covered the 2016 RNC in Cleveland w/ Alex Jones. So did Proud Boys leader Joe Biggs who assaulted a guy outside the convention. Biggs is one of four Proud Boys leaders indicted re: January 6. He breached the Capitol not once but 2X that day. 1/ link.medium.com/nFsCWn6Gznb
A friend of Roger Stone and Alex Jones (Gavin McInnes) announced the founding of the Proud Boys in September 2016 (a few months after the RNC). 2/
This is a fantastic piece by @RogerSollenbergerRC on Roger Stone protege Mike Caputo. - 7/21/20 1/ salon.com/2020/07/21/why…
"At some point Caputo had befriended Donald Trump, and in 2014 he conceived a PR scheme to secure Trump's bid for the Buffalo Bills NFL team, creating a fake organization and hiring a fake founder — a double-amputee cancer survivor — to gin up sympathy." 2/
"Caputo used the organization to orchestrate a bare-knuckle smear campaign targeting Trump's chief competitor for the Buffalo team, Jon Bon Jovi, who later said he needed 'years of therapy' to get over it." 3/
The Bush White House’s use of a private server to host its emails—and alleged loss of about 20 million of those emails—also did not receive a fraction of the coverage given to HRC’s emails. 1/
