The Select Committee to Investigative the January 6th Attack on the United State Capitol filed subpoenas targeting Ali Alexander and his group, Stop the Steal LLC. Nathan Martin, an organizer with Stop the Steal, was subpoenaed along with Alexander, the groups founder.
Alexander claims he organized rallies with permits on January 5 and 6, but was not involved in the attack on the Capitol. However, evidence obtained by the Palast Investigative Fund revealed that Alexander led the march from the rally at the Ellipse, at which President Trump spoke, that led to the Capitol riot, though both Alexander (and Trump) were informed the march was dangerous and illegal.
Alexanders testimony could be a landmine for the Republican Congressmen who joined him in planning Stop the Steal events, Rep. Paul Gosar (R-AZ), Rep. Andy Biggs (R-AZ) and Rep. Mo Brooks (R-AL)
For the Palast investigations team, I covered several of Alexanders rallies in Georgia in 2020. At one rally across the street from the Georgia Governors mansion, Alexander gave an impassioned speech where, on November 19, 2020, he declared that Either they take Trump, prove that they won or theyre not going to hand them back the country again. Well light the whole sh*t on fire!

(3,245 posts)of subpoenas issued either late last week or earlier this week, can't quite remember.
Those subpoenas surrounded the organizers of the different rallies on that day and the funding of those rallies. It would have been a natural conclusion to include his rally within that group.
At some point, I think the committee will find that these were all intertwined in both organization and funding.
