In 2019, Roger Stone’s close associates (Jacob Engels & Proud Boys chairman Enrique Tarrio) initiated an effort to designate anti-fascists (“Antifa”) as a terrorist organization. On 1/5/21, Trump issued a “memo” to move this ball forward. @January6thCmte@IGD_News#RogerStone 1/
6/ It appears likely to me that Roger Stone came up w/ the idea of calling anti-fascists terrorists 2 deflect from the threat posed by the Proud Boys, who expressly glorify political violence. His protégés (especially Jack Posobiec) have been the top spreaders of this propaganda.
Roger Stone claims he has “no connection, involvement & was not engaged in any of the planning for January 6 events,” and that there is “no evidence or witness to the contrary.” I guess he missed Ali Alexander’s periscope… @January6thCmte@AdamSchiff 1/

From the same Medium piece. This was posted by James O’Shaughnessy to his Instagram account on 11/28/20. O’Shaughnessy considers himself a “captain” of the Oath Keepers. 3/

The devil is in the details (even hand counting is not transparent if conducted behind closed doors), any effort to move to hand counting shld be preceded w/ test pilots, & it’s a shame MAGAs didn’t care about election security b4 spreading lies and storming the Capitol. 🥵 1/
Because they behaved so unreasonably & menacingly, everyone on the left will understandably assume that anything they suggest is unreasonable. I do not know how to fix this. 2/
To the experts, I ask this sincerely. If hand counting is so inaccurate, why do we use hand counts to resolve close elections? Why does the hand count prevail over the machine count? 3/
Wait. What? Michael Caputo was a contractor for the International Foundation for Electoral Systems, which is chaired by Ken Blackwell (of Ohio 2004 infamy) & Tad DeVine (who worked w/ Paul Manafort for Putin’s Ukrainian puppet, Viktor Yanukovych b4 joining Bernie’s campaign)?! 1/
👀Jacob Engels is Roger Stone’s longtime aide. He denies being a “Proud Boy” but calls himself a “Proud Boys associate” & has been photographed many times w/ the group. That DeSantis may have invited Engels to an event suggests he is under the thumb of Roger Stone. Kompromat? 1/
.@January6thCmte: You should subpoena Karl Rove. What was this 5G contract about? What did he want Rove to do for him? Did it involve Kavanaugh? Was it tied to the insurrection?
