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/
3/ Talk about propaganda. Here is the full text of Trump’s January 5 “Antifa” memo.
4/ Graphic by Chris Morris
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.
7/ I compiled some of this info here. link.medium.com/uE9LKGq7Job
8/ And here. Still working on Part 3. link.medium.com/sOtFFlt7Job
9/ Posobiec’s “Antifa” propaganda began soon after he posted this tweet in early 2017.
14/
16/ Proud Boys founder Gavin McInnes considers Stone a “good friend.”
17/ Enrique Tarrio (former Proud Boys national chairman) & Joe Biggs (Proud Boys organizer) are both very close with Roger Stone.

“Roger Stone is family to me” - Biggs

Roger Stone is a “close personal friend” - Tarrio
18/ Joe Biggs:
19/ Alex Jones, Proud Boy founder Gavin McInnes, Roger Stone

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/ ImageImage
The screenshot in post 1 (on the right) is from this Medium piece. The screenshot in post 1 (on the left) is from Roger Stone’s Gab account. 2/ link.medium.com/gQ7DeDWiNob
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/ Image

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?
