The NYTimes is reporting:
The federal investigation into efforts to overturn the 2020 election appears to be gaining traction, with the Justice Department having brought in a well-regarded new prosecutor to help run the inquiry and a high-profile witness seeking a deal to provide information.
Alex Jones, the host of the conspiracy-driven media outlet Infowars and a key player in the pro-Trump “Stop the Steal” movement, is in discussions with the Justice Department about an agreement to detail his role in the rally near the White House last Jan. 6 that preceded the attack on the Capitol.
And:
If prosecutors ultimately speak with Mr. Jones, they will encounter a polarizing figure with a broad range of ties to people in pro-Trump circles, including some of Mr. Trump’s aides and advisers. Mr. Jones was closely involved in pro-Trump rallies in Washington on Nov. 14 and Dec. 12 in 2020, working with rally organizers, prominent speakers and far-right militant groups like the Oath Keepers, whose members provided security at the gatherings.
You were at that December 12, 2020 rally, weren't you Senator?
Yes, yes you were.
Here's the Jericho March press release to refresh your memory.
Hey, Rose Tennent was there, too! Does KDKA know this?
Anyway, as part of story The Times also reported on a new hire over at DOJ:
Several months ago, the department quietly took another significant step, adding Thomas Windom, a career federal prosecutor from Maryland, to help in the expanded Jan. 6 investigation, according to three people familiar with the matter.
Mr. Windom has been working with officials from the national security and criminal divisions at the Justice Department to determine whether and how to investigate potential criminal activity related to the Jan. 6 attack, other than what took place during the assault.
His work complements two teams led by prosecutors in the Washington U.S. attorney’s office: one focused on charging people for participating in the riot and one focused on more complicated conspiracy cases stemming from it, such as the seditious conspiracy case that was brought against Stewart Rhodes, the leader of the Oath Keepers. [Emphasis added.]
Do you remember Stewart Rhodes, Senator? He was at that December 12 rally, too!
Rightwingwatch reported:
At a Dec. 12 rally of Trump fans convened on the National Mall, Oath Keepers leader Stewart Rhodes called on President Donald Trump to invoke the Insurrection Act in the wake of Democrat Joe Biden’s imminent ascendency to the presidency of the United States, and declare martial law. Should Trump fail to do this, Rhodes said, Oath Keepers and its fellow travelers would be compelled to take matters into their own hands, in what he said would be a “much more bloody war.”
You took an oath to "support, defend and obey" the Constitution, didn't you Senator?
So when you learned that Stewart Rhodes called for a "bloody war" should Donald Trump fail to declare martial law (which BTW, Trump did not) you acted swiftly and decisively to denounce Rhodes for treason, didn't you?
It should be easy to find on the internet if you did, am I right?
How involved were you in all this, Senator? Your name seems to pop up in some very important events, you know.
