We know that Roger Stone protege Jacob Engels worked closely with the Proud Boys. It seems it was Roger Stone protege Jack Posobiec who worked closely with the Oath Keepers. @January6thCmte@TheJusticeDept 1/
22/ I’m currently researching & writing Part 3. This thread is part of that research.
23/ Posobiec organized this rally.
24/ Was Jack Posobiec (a former officer in the Navy) the Oath Keeper’s friend called “Navy Jack”? Navy Jack’s writings used to be posted on the Oath Keepers’ website.
36/ BTW, I suspect the video in post 1 was made in 2017 (not 2020) bc, among other reasons, Posobiec says in the video that he’s been on Twitter for only 9 months.
37/ Posobiec always deletes his old tweets (erasing fingerprints), but sometimes you can find references. Here are a few mentioning the Oathkeepers.
42/ It appears to me that Lea’s account was deleted. I’m worried she was hacked. Just in case, here is the video from post 1.
43/ As I mentioned, I believe the above video (where Posobiec declared that he’d been working closely w/ the Oath Keepers) is from 2017. In January that year, he posted this.

All three of these highly influential religious zealots are on the Board of Governors of the Council for National Policy (CNP), the Christian Right’s umbrella organization. The Christofascist assault is coordinated. #LeonardLeo #MichaelFarris #KevinRoberts 1/
Seeing as everyone is discussing Heritage Foundation president Kevin Roberts, here’s a reminder that he & Claremont president Ryan Williams spearheaded the “79 days” report, which “war gamed” a 2020 scenario where MAGA sheriffs might deputize Proud Boys, Oath Keepers, & 3%ers. 1/
CNP Board of Governors member Leonard Leo “participated in the Gorsuch, Kavanaugh, & Barrett …selection & confirmation process” AND “outside efforts in support of the Roberts & Alito …confirmations,” per the Catholic Information Center (whose board includes Leo). 1/ cicdc.org/speakers/leona…
2/ CNP = Council for National Policy, the Christian Right’s umbrella organization.
WTF? The right wing SCOTUS majority held that Trump is immune re: claims that he directed the DOJ to conduct knowingly sham investigations b4 admitting that, “TRUE THERE IS NO PRESIDENTIAL IMMUNITY CLAUSE IN THE CONSTITUTION…” (See pp. 37-38) Remember how they reversed Roe v Wade, emphasizing that the constitution includes no explicit reference to abortion? 1/ supremecourt.gov/opinions/23pdf…
2/ From pp. 37-38
3/ What further blows my mind is that the right wing SCOTUS majority even manufactured a three prong test for this manufactured right to presidential immunity. Remember how right wingers complained incessantly about Roe v Wade’s three trimester approach for abortion rights?
Holy astroturf. The fundamentalist Christian takeover of the Carroll ISD school board in Southlake, TX included Hannah Smith —an alum of the Becket Fund (whose board includes Leonard Leo), protege of Leo ally Robert George, & former clerk of Leo pals Clarence Thomas & Alito. 1/
2/ The Daily Signal is the Heritage Foundation’s media arm. Heritage’s board includes Leonard Leo ally Robert George. dailysignal.com/2021/06/10/she…
