Biggs appears to be more important to the events of January 6 than is widely known. I examine his ties to Alex Jones and Roger Stone here, as well as the ties between Stone/Jones and the Proud Boys overall. I hope to publish part 2 soon. 2/ link.medium.com/AI57p2ILHnb
3/ Here is @emptywheel’s important piece. I paraphrased part of it in my own piece and in post 1. emptywheel.net/2021/08/29/two…
4/ From Marcy Wheeler’s piece:
5/ One more from Wheeler.
In case it isn’t obvious, this implies the possibility of a coordinated breach. 6/
Wow. I don’t know if Joe Biggs is referring here to the rally or the breaches of the Capitol, but it does coincide with the series of events relating to the breaches, as discussed above. 😳 @January6thCmte #JoeBiggs #AlexJones 7/

Roger Stone was mentored by Roy Cohn, a mob lawyer who was Sen. Joe McCarthy’s chief counsel. Stone & his inner circle are fond of falsely calling people “communists” & “Antifa” & they tried to get “Antifa” designated as a terrorist organization. It wld be funny but it isn’t. 1/

Here Roger Stone denies being a lobbyist. 1/
But this says he registered as a lobbyist. Something to do with Somalia. 2/
