ABC News: A new video has surfaced showing Roger Stone in Washington, D.C., on the morning of Jan. 6, flanked by members of the Oath Keepers militia group just hours before the deadly insurrection at the U.S. Capitol building.https://t.co/AsJIoB8l6u
The lead House manager—as well as several members of his team—follows this feed. So I think they are. It's one reason I've been working so hard to get out information on the January 5 war council, the feds closing in on Roger Stone, and a comprehensive analysis of Trump's speech. https://t.co/dJtauown0z
(hard to believe a secret pardon's waiting to cover all of this, especially if violating DC law)
(VIDEO) Here's Roger Stone raising money on the internet for "protective equipment" for Proud Boys/Oath Keepers just a week before Insurrection Day—exactly the conduct that his friend, bodyguard, and Proud Boy associate Ethan Nordean was just arrested for: pic.twitter.com/xyQy2fnvEO

BREAKING: New arrests suggest the FBI is closing in on Trump adviser Roger Stone. Stone—who now has no protection from Trump—is in a position to implicate Trump in foreknowledge of the Capitol assault. I hope you'll read on, RETWEET and subscribe to PROOF. https://t.co/gajR53qdey
if you can stand it, here's Ali Alexander "breaking his silence" on Alex Jones's show. They are bemoaning their victimhood at the hands of the vast democratic conspiracy to like take away all their freedoms, bringing back internment camps for them, etc. They do include Roger Stone as the third of the top trio that Dems are out to git.
So Ali Alexander said Christians are in complete control of the Republican Party in the face of the pagans and barbarianshttps://t.co/uBFwxYTGmk
This is it—this is the ballgame. Unravel this mystery and you unravel the truth behind the insurrection. We know who the necessary witnesses are. What we don't know is whether anyone is talking to them or looking at this. I hope you'll read on and RETWEET. https://t.co/6FsNHvgC1z
Stone funding Proud Boys, coordinating & participating in a prior action with Proud Boys at Marco Rubio's, while consulting with & informing Trump (in thanks for his quid-pro-quo pardon) - lining up nicely.
JustSecurity.org
3. Jan. 2, 2021: Stone coordinates with Proud Boys on Stop the Steal activities outside Sen. Marco Rubio’s (R-FL) home.
“On Jan. 2, longtime Trump adviser Roger Stone participated in a Proud Boys effort to pressure Sen. Marco Rubio to not certify the results of the election. Mr. Tarrio led about two dozen Trump supporters in front of Mr. Rubio’s Miami home, while Mr. Stone called in to the rally to speak to the crowd.”
4. Jan. 2, 2021: Stone had originally created “Stop the Steal” website in 2016; he reactivates it following his pardon.
The New Yorker reported that “months before the 2016 election, Stone created a Web site called Stop the Steal, which he used to undermine Hillary Clinton’s expected victory by insisting that the election had been rigged—a position that Trump maintained even after he won, to explain his deficit in the popular vote.”
The New Yorker report notes that ten days after Donald Trump pardoned Stone, on Dec. 23, 2020, “Stone reactivated his Stop the Steal Web site, which began collecting donations for ‘security’ in D.C. on January 6th.”
Previously, the site had redirected to Stone’s website StoneColdTruth.com, reported CNN.

thank you so much! I had heard the name before when he endorsed Trump as a Dem, but that's all, read up on the wikipedia and see he spoke at the Stop the Steal rally and only then did he officially announce joining the GOP. Clearly very friendly with Alex Jones now that you found the other picture. Some might think he was just doing all this stuff as an opportunist because of switching party affiliation so late in the game, but if you don't skip over the early stuff, you see he was conservative going back to the Bush years:
During his 2008 Senate campaign, Jones described himself as a "conservative Democrat" who favors "tough immigration laws and fiscal responsibility" as well as "supporter of gun rights and a staunch environmental advocate".[11] During his 2008 campaign, he stated that he opposed same-sex marriage.[12] OnTheIssues.org rated Jones as a "Moderate Libertarian Conservative".[13] Jones stated that he voted for George W. Bush in 2004, and supported Barack Obama in 2008.[14] Jones donated $2,464 in two separate donations to the Georgia Republican Party in 2001.[15][16] In a 2014 press release, Jones characterized himself as an "advocate for limited government, security and protections for all citizens, balanced budgeting, ethical and efficient elections, [and] job creation".[17] Jones was the only Democratic cosponsor of the bill to legalize the concealed carry of firearms on Georgia's college campuses.[18]

Note: The current Oath Keepers conspiracy case has three charged defendants. In the past week, DOJ has increased the staffing on the case to six AUSAs.
That's TWICE as many prosecutors as defendants, suggesting additional charges could be pending... https://t.co/54a2APhYH7
At least six people who had provided security for Roger Stone entered the Capitol during the Jan. 6 attack, according to a New York Times investigation.
Videos show the group guarding Mr. Stone, a longtime friend of former President Donald J. Trump, on the day of the attack or the day before. All six of them are associated with the Oath Keepers, a far-right anti-government militia that is known to provide security for right-wing personalities and protesters at public events.
Mr. Stone, a convicted felon who was pardoned by Mr. Trump, has a long history as a self-proclaimed “dirty trickster” political operative who has lived by the edicts of attack, admit nothing, deny everything, and counterattack. He posted a message online denying involvement in “the lawless acts at the Capitol.”
We combed through hundreds of videos and photos, and drew on research from an online monitoring group called the Capitol Terrorists Exposers to track the security team that surrounded Mr. Stone on Jan. 5 and 6.
Here’s how they went from guarding him to standing inside the Capitol building on Jan. 6 [....]
I'm working on a comprehensive timeline of Roger Stone's actions prior to Insurrection Day. It features items many folks haven't seen, as it's curating a large number of far-flung major-media sources. Read prior PROOF pieces on Stone below. More very soon! https://t.co/94g4fNJ989
Former President Donald Trump's longtime personal attorney, Rudy Giuliani, is "not currently representing President Trump in any legal matters," senior Trump adviser Jason Miller told CNN on Tuesday.
The former New York City mayor was the face of Trump's failed bid to overturn the presidential election results, but his legal work with the former President dates back years.
Miller said in a tweet that Giuliani remained an "ally and a friend" and is not representing Trump only because there are no pending cases in which he's involved.
Trump had signaled frustration with Giuliani last month after he became the first president in US history to be impeached twice. He told his staff to stop paying Giuliani's legal fees, a person familiar with the matter previously told CNN, though aides were not clear if Trump was serious about his instructions.
Now out of office and without the protections that the presidency afforded him, Trump is facing multiple criminal investigations, civil state inquiries and defamation lawsuits by two women accusing him of sexual assault.
Georgia officials have announced that the former President faces two new investigations over calls he made to election officials in an attempt to overturn the state's election results.
And Trump faces a criminal investigation in New York, where the Manhattan district attorney's office is looking into whether the Trump Organization violated state laws, such as insurance fraud, tax fraud or other schemes to defraud.
The scope of the investigation is broad, with prosecutors looking into, among other things, whether the Trump Organization misled financial institutions when applying for loans or violated tax laws when donating a conservation easement on its estate called Seven Springs and taking deductions on fees paid to consultants.
The former President has also privately voiced concern about whether he could face charges as a result of the January 6 US Capitol riot he's been accused of inciting, according to multiple people.
"He's worried about it," one adviser close to Trump told CNN.
Though Giuliani is among Trump's fiercest public defenders, his work on behalf of the former President has prompted legal problems of his own.
Democratic Rep. Bennie Thompson of Mississippi filed a civil lawsuit Tuesday accusing Giuliani and Trump of conspiring with the far-right groups Proud Boys and Oath Keepers to incite the January 6 insurrection.
Giuliani, the lawsuit alleges, riled up the crowd as he told supporters: "Let's have trial by combat."
Additionally, Giuliani is facing lawsuits from two voting technology companies, Smartmatic and Dominion Voting Systems, related to his months-long embrace of baseless conspiracy theories about the 2020 election.
Stone and Proud Boys... if I had anything to do about posting that. They were asking me if Stone has ever paid me, what he's ever paid me for," Florida Proud Boys head Tyler Ziolkowski told CNN this week.
On my blog https://t.co/cKVRvbpn6E you will see how easy it is to connect Roger Stone to Alex Jones and the Proud Boys at the Capitol riot. If the Oath Keepers were working with Roger as well, wow! The FBI needs to seize his records pronto.https://t.co/xaE5LdxgwU
This story dives deep into how important content moderation/enforcement decisions get made at FB. It reveals how Facebook's powerful policy team, led by Joel Kaplan, repeatedly went against the company's own experts to intervene on changes for fears of conservative backlash.
As I noted, the best thing about this filing is the FBI now has carte blanche to start asking questions of the Secret Service and the organizers.https://t.co/r2S5tL79XO
GA Rep. Larry McDonald, OSS/CIA founding member Maj. Gen. Jack Singlaub, and... Roy Cohn? They were up to some stuff back in the 80's. And it's turning out to be more relevant than anyone might have guessed now.https://t.co/8UNhXMqgKm
In addition to Minuta and James, three Oath Keepers indicted last month on conspiracy and other charges - Kelly and Connie Meggs and Graydon Young - also did security for Stone. Kellys Meggs on 1/5; Connie Meggs and Young at 12/14 rally in Largo, Fla. https://t.co/nODrrj9674
This means five Oath Keepers who did security for Stone, not just the two cited in reports yesterday, face charges over the 1/6 riot. And the three arrested last month face conspiracy charges, compounding Stone's likely legal concerns. https://t.co/6VVg6lA3BO

The feds are getting closer and closer to Stone. If you haven't yet, go back and look at the early PROOF articles (January and February) to understand why Stone threatened to sue me. He saw that PROOF had his number—and assumed the feds didn't. It's looking like he was wrong. https://t.co/UOM3o8qX3p
What's really kind of remarkable is how Roger Stone is linked to almost every sleazy episode in American politics for the past 50 years. It's like he is a fungus that can't be cured and causes our body politic to constantly give off a nasty smell. https://t.co/YwNW5av95W
also his protege, 'Scammy Davis Jr.", a new one on me:
I am not big on nicknames or saying that a person looks like other people but I admit to getting a frisson of pleasure when Ali Alexander is called Scammy Davis Jr. because there is a certain sense in which it fits so perfectly and just feels so sublimely accurate and instructive
I mean Sammy had such a particular look and wonderfully strange vibe and I remember thinking as a kid that we'll never again see someone who looks like that or has a correspondingly strange vibe and then Alexander came along with a different vibe than Sammy but still *so strange* pic.twitter.com/h5m0gN7LTb
