An Oathkeeper claims she met with the Secret Service ahead of the insurrection?

This is a seriously crazy turn of events, or at least stories. She claims she was given a VIP ticket to 45’s insurrection speech and met with the Secret Service ahead of the event, and she was just trying to protect speakers when she was in that line of Oathkeepers seen among those storming the Capitol? And she can’t be in prison because she’s transgender? Can anyone make sense of this? And was the Secret Service (or his, at least) aware what was up?

... the Trump aides who organized the event and got the permits. The meeting the night before attended by Tuberville, Trump spawn, and a phone-in by Aly Alexander (one of the founders?).

I think Trump's people were in on the organizing, but no one seems to be pursuing that very hard. Have you seen much about that?

and pursued vigorously is nonsense. Don't think that anybody, at any level, is getting a pass on this.

I have no idea how to parse this. Neither does anyone else if the rampant speculation is any indicator.

I hope it doesn't take too long to get this up and running.
