Two Jan. 6 Organizers Are Coming Forward and Naming Names: 'We're Turning It All Over'

[demmiblue]

After losing faith in Trump, the pair plan to hand over text messages, Instagram direct messages, and other documents related to the planning of the Jan. 6 rally on the Ellipse where Trump spoke

Two key organizers of the main Jan. 6 rally in Washington, D.C. are coming in from the cold.

Dustin Stockton and Jennifer Lynn Lawrence are set to testify next week before the House select committee investigating the attack on the U.S. Capitol. The pair will deliver testimony and turn over documents, including text messages, that indicate the extensive involvement members of Congress and the Trump administration had in planning the House challenge to certifying Biden’s election and rally near the White House where Donald Trump spoke — efforts that ultimately contributed to a massive and violent attack on the U.S. Capitol.

Among the documents the couple is providing are conversations they had with staffers and members of Congress as they planned the main rally that took place on the White House Ellipse that day. Stockton described these discussions as largely logistical and focused on planning the members’ participation in objections to the electoral certification on the House floor and various events that were staged to protest against the election. They include Instagram messages Lawrence exchanged with Rep. Madison Cawthorn (R-N.C.) as she tried to get him to speak at the Ellipse rally. Cawthorn, whose office did not immediately respond to a request for comment, ultimately appeared on stage at that event.

“We’re turning it all over and we’ll let the cards fall where they may,” Stockton says.

1. I hope these folks are in the witness protection system

Just sayin’.

[Escurumbele]

10. My thought exactly as I was reading the information. They should have kept in silent about it

until after their appearance in front of the committee.

I hope, like you said, they are being protected.

[ancianita]

36. They're safer to make their intentions public so as to prevent "accidents"; they get security now.

[Just_Vote_Dem]

2. This is HUGE

The MSM needs to pick up this and run big with it

[BComplex]

13. You won't hear much about it from the mainstream media, is my guess.

It doesn't support the republican lies.

[secondwind]

19. I think it is more because there is still more to gather right now... everyone is playing it close

the vest... and that includes the DOJ.. Remember that Trump put quite a few people IN the DOJ...

[Raven123]

15. If the info is valuable, the Committee will make it public at the appropriate time

It was poetic and poignant that Liz Cheney was the member who quoted the FOX news texts to Meadows. That’s all over the MSM this morning. I think the Committee has a plan to ensure the info gets the attention it deserves. The balance is quality versus quantity.i think the slow ratcheting up of exposure is based on how clearly the picture is coming into focus.

[secondwind]

20. Exactly.. I agree with you..

[twodogsbarking]

3. Domino effect.

[elias7]

4. Get on the safer side of save my ass from a sedition sentence

[sanatanadharma]

5. One unplanned question of one underling revealed Nixon's recordings

That one data-point from Butterfield turned out to be the thread that needed to be pulled in order to tear away the curtain of a Republican's undermining of America; Nixon's criminality.

The January 6th insurrection has numerous underlings with knowledge. It only takes one answer to change the trajectory and momentum of indictments.

[bucolic_frolic]

6. Meanwhile Fox anchors were concerned about the optics and effect on marketing

Gold, I tells ya, gold.

[SergeStorms]

26. They had to set their christmas tree afire....

to deflect the negative criticism coming their way.

Maybe......who knows? I put nothing past Murdoch's crew of seditionists.

[stopdiggin]

7. 'planning the rally'

and efforts to block certification are thoroughly in the public domain and have been discussed extensively. This might add a couple of names to the list of participants - but there is certainly nothing revelatory here. Draw a line connecting these people and planned violence .....

[Botany]

8. "that indicate the extensive involvement members of Congress"

Get their names "out there" if they took part in the coup and demand that they are
removed from the Government ASAP.

I don't think Dustin Stockton and Jennifer Lynn Lawrence want to die on the hill
call 1/6/21. They look slimy but if they give up some of the big fish fine. Let 'em
walk.

[Goonch]

9. Dustin Stockton and Jennifer Lynn Lawrence with Rep. Paul Gosar.

[SergeStorms]

28. Stockton's jacket reads....

"BOSS MAN", and on the left side, "THE MIRACLE OF TRUMP".

If The Orange Pig is a "miracle", their "religion" certainly is in trouble.

[The Unmitigated Gall]

40. Noting Loo-sar's trumpian red tie

Worn too long, of course.

Sickening.

[gab13by13]

11. ...but I thought if secret information

was turned over to the public it would be bad?

[2naSalit]

12. K&R

[TeamProg]

14. Truth WILL out !

Hubris cannot contain the truth or make it disappear forever.

[Jon King]

16. Folks, nothing is going to come of this.

I mean seriously, even Matt Gaetz faced no charges, even after his buddy supposedly got that sweet plea deal for giving all sorts of evidence. Bannon and Meadows will run out the clock with ease using the court system.

None of this will result in anything criminal because its almost impossible to prove intent. Hard to show the organizers intended the attack to unfold without any reasonable doubt. They can say they organized a rally, not an attack and no jury will convict them without some hold outs.

Meanwhile, inflation just came in at 9.6%. If every Dem candidate is not laser focused on the economy, inflation, crime, borders, we are going to get slaughtered in 2022 like rarely seen before.

This 1-6 stuff is important to document for history but is not going to result in anything criminally or help our prospects for keeping the House.

[gab13by13]

17. You maybe should reconsider your post?

[monkeyman1]

43. "YA THINK " !

[twodogsbarking]

21. It will certainly be a test. So far I am not even a little satisfied

Your comment may be true but only time will tell. Food for thought. Sometimes optimism is outdone by reality.

[KS Toronado]

22. Sorry, I disagree

When the Jan 6th Select Committee starts their live broadcasting, MSM will finally have to start reporting on
how vile and corrupt Rs really are and because of this we win big in the midterms.

[ShazzieB]

24. You entitled to your opinion.

But at the end of the day, that's all it is: an opinion. Insisting it's a settled fact won't change that.

[RussBLib]

33. very tired of these "it's hopeless" posts

do something positive

[monkeyman1]

44. dooms day people at their best !

[Traildogbob]

18. Any surprise

Cawthorn is neck deep in this. He replaced Meadows in the same NC district. Pods and Peas. MAGA’s are so proud here in district 11. Home of treason, and destruction of the nation. Just a little rural mountain district with the power to attempt a total collapse of democracy. (Heavily armed). LOCK those Two away.

[Wounded Bear]

23. Nice to hear, but we'll see what comes of it...

It appears they may have a couple/few more names to depose, but if this is all about prelims to the rally at the ellipse, it doesn't necessarily follow that it will have info about the attack on the capitol.

As was noted above, though, it was low level participants that led up the chain to the Watergate revelations, so maybe this leads to something.

[Joinfortmill]

25. Time is running out for the Trump Treason Train.

[zentrum]

27. The word "rally" gives

......them all cover. A rally is not an insurrection. You're allowed to have demonstrations and rallies. Of course you need police permission, I assume.
But doing it anyway is still not an insurrection.

So, when it became clearly a treasonous insurrection, these two and the Congress Pugs will say "we were as surprized as anyone when it turned violent.

Proving intent can be difficult.

This is not a slam dunk yet.

[ancianita]

37. Anything in writing -- among congress people; among congress people & WH people -- that shows

forethought to stop the electoral vote confirmation -- as in "stop the steal" -- will be chargeable as conspiracy to obstruct, with their involvement in rally planning as their cover. They knew before Jan 6 that there was no election steal, and they knew militias would be part of the Jan 6 mix; they knew to show rally goers the way into congressional chambers.

The charge will be obstruction, not insurrection. But imo, it should be sedition.

[zentrum]

39. Thanks, will think about obstruction

.....vs. insurrection. Hope something finally comes of it----after dragging on and on and on.

[jalan48]

29. From the article.

"Nothing in the documents viewed by Rolling Stone or the couple’s statements revealed any planning for, or coordination with, the violent attack on the Capitol by Trump supporters."

[GB_RN]

30. Rep. Madison Cawthorn...

Aka "MadCaw" (pronounced Mad Cow) is from my state, but not my rep. I'll be glad to see his ass tossed in the clink over this shit.

OT Hijack: MadCaw's been working with tRump to try and influence the Congressional elections and get more goons like him elected with the new highly gerrymandered districts that the General Assembly just approved. Fortunately, the state Supreme Court has put that shit on hold and is likely to strike them down as illegal under the state's constitutional requirement for free and fair elections.

[flying_wahini]

31. What I believe people are missing is that they rally was PLANNED under the guise (hope)

that antifa folks would be there in droves and a fight WOULD break out
then the patriots would Save Us All. The problem was that the BLM/Dems folks didn’t show up.
That there was no fight to start meant the Oaf Keepers had to go to the Capitol to prove their point.
I was trying to remember who asked the Dems to stay at home and not engage them.
Anyone remember?

[dweller]

34. I remember

It was stated often here on DU that it would be unwise to attend, but you are right, there was some discussion out there also …



✌🏻

[scarytomcat]

35. don't forget they did NOT have a permit to march to the capital from the rally

anyone that said to go there and fight was stirring up trouble and caused the riot

[ancianita]

38. +1000

32. Good!!! Get it all out!!!

41. May it continue on and on and on.
