Is @January6thCmte insane?!
“But the panel is not expected to tie Roger Stone to the conspiracy, having been unable to find any such evidence." 1/ theguardian.com/us-news/2022/j… https://t.co/J9KtuG2tWw
4/ “As the Daily Kos wrote in 2017, the “American militia movement over the last few decades has periods of relative silence, in which the groups stew over past grudges, & then there’s a flashpoint. If that anger boils over down the road, [Roger] Stone will have had a hand in it”
7/ I’ve been worried Stone would escape accountability so I’ve been writing a series about Stone and his network from 2016 through the present. Here is part 1. jennycohn1.medium.com/roger-stone-al…
That most Americans, including media, have no clue what Roger Stone has done is a huge problem bc he & his network are still doing it. We need America to know not just what happened, but also how it happened, & we need Stone & his network 2 be held accountable, not just Trump. 1/
If you don’t think Stone is a huge problem then you are missing a huge part of the picture. Reading this might help. 2/ threadreaderapp.com/thread/1533926…
It is alarming that Liz Cheney has clashed w/ @RepStephMurphy over the extent to which they should limit their inquiry to Trump. Murphy has been abused by Roger Stone & his network for years. Stone is “Mr. Stop the Steal” himself & yet he wasn’t mentioned yesterday. 🥵1/
3/ Jacob Engels is a self-described Proud Boys associate & Stone’s longtime assistant. He’s been called Stone’s mini me. He was w/ Stone on Jan 5. Murphy knows how deep the rot runs.
As I show in this thread, Roger Stone began messaging that the election would be stolen from Trump in July 2020, when he sought & received a commutation from Trump who was floundering in the polls. The Proud Boys celebrated the commutation w/ Stone. 2/ threadreaderapp.com/thread/1533926…
Proud Boys Biggs, Nordean, & Tarrio also formed Warboys, LLC in July 2020. By this time, the PBs were already known (to those paying attention) as Stone’s personal army. In Aug 2020, Ali posted a photo of himself w/ Stone & said they’d had dinner. But he quickly deleted it. 3/
I wrote here about how Roger Stone orchestrated a riot to steal the 2000 election for Bush. The piece includes an aftermath section too. Here’s the aftermath re: Stone. 1/ jennycohn1.medium.com/the-2000-u-s-p…
Remember when Roger Stone, Tucker Carlson, & Jack Posobiec tried to blame the breach of the Capitol on “Antifa,” not knowing that Enrique Tarrio (Stone’s good friend & volunteer) had already taken credit for it?
Roger Stone, Tucker Carlson (a close friend of Roger Stone; he wrote the intro to Stone’s book), Jack Posobiec (has worked w/ Stone since 2016 & launched “Stop the Steal” 2020 w/ a tweet), & Mark Burns (another Stone pal) tried 2 blame the storming of the Capitol on “Antifa.” 1/
Here’s a link to a video of the infamous Brooks Brothers riot (orchestrated by Roger Stone in 2000 to stop the hand recount in the presidential race), which many consider a precursor of the storming of the Capitol by Trump supporters on January 6: 1/
Note that Stone (w/ the help of Ali Alexander, Jack Posobiec & others) orchestrated a bogus “Stop the Steal” campaign in Florida in 2018 as well. This is discussed in the video in post 1. I wrote about it here. 3/ jennycohn1.medium.com/roger-stone-th…
