Bombshell: J6th Committee Gets Alex Jones’s Texts, Do They Tie Stone and Trump to Conspiracy?

Something weird happened last week. In Alex Jones’s court hearing, we learned for the first time – along with Alex Jones, apparently – that Jones’s lawyer had accidentally sent all of Alex Jones’s texts to the opposing parties. Okay, that was weird and funny, and there wasn’t much more to it.

But then, out of the blue, Roger Stone starts squealing that Jones’s attorney didn’t “accidentally” do anything and that it’s just as likely that Stone’s attorney intentionally sent the texts along because Stone said Jones’s attorney was somehow aligned with the left. As if that were not enough, Stone threw something out about framing Jones (and presumably Stone, since Stone was the one in a panic attack). At that point, people scratched their heads, realizing that Stone was in a full panic attack about these texts being out, AND Stone was tying it “to the left.”

And then yesterday, Stone felt compelled to go to bat for the “God-Fearing Christian Alex Jones” and ask the public to help Jones pay this huge award to the families at Sandy Hook. Huh? Roger Stone was working awfully hard – very suddenly – to appear to be on Jones’s good side. And that takes one back to the texts. Is it possible that Jones and Stone have texted back and forth between each other, such that those texts directly tie them into January 6th? And, in possibly so doing, is it possible that they are discussing what Trump said to do and when?

Something very weird is happening because last week, those texts were in a court in Texas, and this week – indeed, on Monday, those texts are headed to the January 6th Committee. Perhaps Jones’s attorney didn’t “accidentally” send those texts. Perhaps he actually wanted it to look like an accident because those texts contain a deep truth about what happened to this country, and yet he couldn’t get it out without violating attorney-client privilege. That’s Jones’s attorney’s problem. Our fortune is that it appears these texts are highly relevant to the Committee. They got them FAST.

Much of the above is speculation. But it is speculation based on some very, very weird sh*t, and it is NOT speculation that the Committee has a keen interest in these texts: From CNN

Approximately two years’ worth of text messages sent and received by right-wing conspiracy theorist Alex Jones have been turned over to the House select committee investigating the January 6 insurrection, a person familiar with the matter told CNN on Monday.

The messages were handed over to the committee by Mark Bankston, the attorney who represented two Sandy Hook parents who successfully sued Jones in Texas and won nearly $50 million in a civil trial that concluded last week.

Bankston would only tell CNN that he is “cooperating with the committee.” The select committee declined to comment.

Hmmmm.
