More 1/6 Committee Subpoenas. Is PA State Senator Mastriano Worried?

I am wondering if Pennsylvania State Senator Doug Mastriano is getting (more?) worried.

This hit the news yesterday:

The House select committee investigating the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol issued subpoenas Monday to more people involved with the Stop the Steal rally, including conspiracy theorist and right-wing media figure Alex Jones and longtime Donald Trump ally Roger Stone.

This is on top of all the other subpoenas issued.

A few paragraphs later there's this:

The committee has also subpoenaed conservative activists Dustin Stockton and Jennifer Lawrence — a couple with ties to some of the rally organizers who have already been subpoenaed by the committee. The committee letters cite Stockton and Lawrence’s work with Women for America First in organizing rallies held after the November 2020 election “in support of then-President Trump and his allegations of election fraud, up through and including the rally held on the Ellipse in Washington, D.C. on January 6, 2021.”

As stated above, Dustin and Jennifer (Dustifer? Jennistin?) are activists working with a group called "Women for America First."

That group is mentioned in this Rolling Stone article from a few days ago:

At 5:30 pm on Jan. 6, police were in their third hour of battle with supporters of former President Trump on the steps of the U.S. Capitol. Meanwhile, about a mile away in a suite at the Willard Intercontinental Hotel, Amy Kremer, a conservative activist who organized a major pro-Trump rally near the White House that preceded the violence, apparently had hors d’oeuvres on her mind.

Kremer sent her fellow rally organizers a text preceded by three siren emojis. It was an urgent update.

“We ordered dinner again tonight. Sorry, but we forgot to take orders in the chaos of the event this morning, so we just ordered the same thing as last night. I figured that was better than not eating. Lol,” Kremer wrote. “Cheese & Charcuterie should be here at 6PM and dinner around 7PM.”

An emergency curfew took effect and National Guard troops arrived at the Capitol to clear the remaining crowds at roughly the same time Kremer and her fellow organizers received their cured meats. Three sources, who spoke on the condition of anonymity due to the ongoing investigations into the rally, told Rolling Stone that, along with food, people were drinking champagne in the suite while rioters skirmished with law enforcement at the Capitol complex.

Kremer’s insurrection night dinner order was detailed in a series of text messages and group chats from January 6 rally organizers that were obtained and reviewed by Rolling Stone. The messages included months of discussions as Kremer’s “March For Trump” group staged a bus tour around the country to protest the former president’s election loss. The conversations revealed new details of the rally organizers’ coordination with the Trump White House.

Amy Kremer has already been subpoenaed by the committee.

And her bus tour rolled through Harrisburg in December, 2020.

And guess (just guess!) who was there?

Yep. Pennsylvania's own Doug Mastriano.

Women for America First also hosted an "Audit The Vote" rally this past August 17 in Gettysburg, PA.

Amy Kremer was listed as speaker.

As was (you guessed it) Pennsylvania State Senator Doug Mastriano:

The location is within Doug's legislative district, by the way.

How much did Doug Mastriano know about the planning of the January 6 attacks? How much (if any) was he involved?

He seems to have (at the very least) rubbed elbows with a few of the now-subpoenaed players.

We already know he was on Trump's mind as far as short list of helpful GOP members

We already know he was witness to both breaches of The Capitol 

So Doug, are you expecting to be subpoenaed anytime soon for what you know?
