who organized the shitshow we saw on the 6th? And while Trump is responsible, let's face it, he couldn't organize a shift at McDonalds, much less the overthrow of the US government. He could have ordered it, but who was behind the nuts and bolts of the whole thing? Who was in charge? This was partly the spontaneous act of a crazed mob, but there were people there that were trained, well-equipped and on a mission.

(14,120 posts)Alex Jones says he paid $500,000 for rally that led to Capitol riot
Graig Graziosi
Infamous conspiracy theorist Alex Jones said his media company paid for the rally in Washington DC on 6 January that preceded the ill-fated insurrection at the US Capitol.
Mr Jones explained his involvement in a video he posted from Washington DC on the day of the riots.
"When I tell you this, it's not to brag about my connection to this embattled president," he said. "No one would book the Ellipse, no one would book the other areas. No one would pay for it. We went and paid for it."
Mr Jones said that 80 per cent of the money used in the bookings was provided by a donor.

It'll come out as some of the insurrectionists were searching for Pence, Pelosi and Schumer. If they found them there could've been assassinations.
