Alex Jones took the 5th more than 100 times testifying to Jan 6 committee

And now the committee is subpoenaing the texts revealed by the Plaintiffs lawyer in the Sandy Hook case.

And at his trial today, after the existence of the texts was revealed, Jones could be heard asking if the texts included the ones between him "and the Senator."

Which Senator? Any guesses?

Alex Jones took the 5th more than 100 times when he testified in front of the January 6 Cmte.

Imagines what's in his text messages, which are likely to land in the hands of committee investigators & DOJ promptly.




BUT WAIT, THERE'S MORE!

If you watched the recess after this they forgot the stream was still going “you mean you have ALL of the texts. Like even ones with the senator?” He smiled and said “yup… everything on the phone for the last 2-3 years. There will be months of fallout and discovery here.”

Somewhere in the Capitol complex right now, a lawyer from the January 6 committee is writing a letter to the Sandy Hook parents’ lawyers requesting they produce Alex Jones’s phone records.

Somewhere at DOJ, a different lawyer is doing the same thing.

..... just imagine the juicy text communications with Roger Stone and the fascist militia Nazi groups on Alex Jones' cell phone.

What a landmine field of explosions we are in for.

Happy Fourth of July #2, 2022

This will be fun to watch

The January 6th House committee is preparing to request the trove of Alex Jones’s text messages and emails revealed Wednesday in a defamation lawsuit filed by victims of the Sandy Hook massacre, Rolling Stone has learned.

On Wednesday, Sandy Hook victims’ attorney Mark Bankston told Jones that his attorney had mistakenly sent Bankston three years worth of the conspiracy theorist’s emails and text messages copied from his phone.

Now — a source familiar with the matter and another person briefed on it tell Rolling Stone — the January 6th committee is preparing to request that data from the plaintiff attorneys in order to aid its investigation of the insurrection. These internal deliberations among the committee, which is probing former President Donald Trump’s role in causing the deadly Jan. 6 Capitol riot, began within minutes of the lawyer’s revelation being heard on the trial’s livestream on Wednesday afternoon.

Jones has already featured prominently in the panel’s investigation for his role in whipping up public support for the insurrection and for his close ties to alleged conspirator Stewart Rhodes, the leader of the Oath Keepers militia. Jones frequently hosted Rhodes as a guest on his InfoWars channel and his militia provided security for the Texas-based conspiracist.

when noted mob figures kept pleading the 5th in the investigation into organized crime
I think at least one claimed the 5th every single time. Even when asked to confirm his name

And then there is her desire to gain full time custody of their kids (they currently share custody) why may be helped by the fact that child porn was found in Alex Jones' docs. https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/child-porn-found-documents-alex-jones-sent-sandy-hook-family-n1018541

Any chance the phone records could be found to be inadmissible? On any grounds?
