It seems like whenever there is a breakthrough and we see exactly how the prosecutors and J6 committee are making progress (yesterday there were a few) that's when the agitators and demoralizers come out.
One of my theories is that social media is a rage machine and rage needs a target. Whatever happens to be in the news becomes the target of rage and agitation.
The problem of course is that keeping people agitated is also demoralizing, and demoralizing the people who need to be working to strengthen democracy is counter-productive.
I tried explaining this privately to 2 large rage accounts. The project failed.
When we learn of new evidence or an indictment, 2 things happen:
(1) I want to write about the legal implications (2) I brace myself for the onslaught of "what's taking so long, Garland should be fired, he's killing democracy."
Joshua James, who just pleaded guilty to seditious conspiracy and is cooperating with prosecutors, was in Stone's hotel suite a few hours before the attack.
Sounds like Roger Stone changed his mind: After the attack, he decided it would be a bad idea.
The facts include "agreeing to take part in a plan developed by Rhodes to stop the lawful transfer of presidential power by January 20, 2021" by force.
At the end of a 🔥 statement of the offense, the prosecutors let us know that the details included do not constitute a "complete statement of all facts known by Joshua James or the government."(#2)
They're not telling all they know.

The easiest way to get convictions is to get people to plead guilty. Duh, right?
The DOJ now has a conviction for seditious conspiracy and conspiracy to prevent the transfer of power by force.
The easiest way to collect evidence is to get it directly from co-conspirators.
