Roger Stone Throws Trump Aide Under the Bus: 'Deeply Involved' with Jan 6th Chaos
Has Roger Stone taken a turn?
Just days ago, it was revealed that the January 6th committee had decided to fully embrace the circus aspect of their heavily biased work, calling two of the right wing media's most hyperbolic humans to the stand.
Alex Jones of Infowars and longtime political provocateur Roger Stone have now both been subpoenaed by the highly criticized committee, in a move that had some wondering if the group had bitten off more than they could chew.
In response to that subpoena, Roger Stone has now taken to throwing a top Trump aide directly under the bus.
Roger Stone, an ally of former President Donald Trump, claimed this week that former Trump aide Katrina Pierson was "deeply involved" with the violence of the January 6 attack targeting the U.S. Capitol.
Posting to Telegram early Thursday morning, Stone appeared to suggest that Pierson deserved a great deal of blame for the pro-Trump attack against the legislative branch of government. Stone also seemed to be unaware that Pierson—like himself—has been subpoenaed by the House select committee investigating the January 6 attack.
There was no mistaking Stone's intent.
"Given what I know, I am perplexed as to why the January 6 committee has not issued a subpoena to Katrina Pierson, in other words, someone deeply involved in the violent and unlawful acts of January 6, rather than me, given that I was not there and have no advance knowledge or involvement whatsoever in the events at the Capitol That day #Jan6Cmte," Stone wrote in a message to his Telegram channel subscribers.
Stone was mistaken, however, as Pierson has already been subpoenaed by the January 6th select committee.

As the January 6th committee continues down a blatantly partisan path that is unlikely to bring the country together in any meaningful way, there are fears that their actions could spark a great deal of animosity within this powder keg of a nation.
We are as divided as we ever have been, or at least in the last 150 years, and every political motion must be true and just. Otherwise, we can consider it fuel for whatever trouble appears to be looming just over the horizon.
The January 6th committee and the Democrats supporting it, being under the microscope as they are, must be particularly careful not to deal in rumors, hyperbole, or propaganda. They have at least one hand firmly on the rudder of this nation for the time being, and any hard, jerking motions could send us all figuratively to the floor.
That's why the latest speculation regarding their investigation is so mindlessly dangerous.
Senate Democrats believe there is a good chance the Department of Justice will prosecute former President Trump for trying to overturn the results of the 2020 election and inciting the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the Capitol, which would have major political reverberations ahead of the 2024 presidential election.
Democratic lawmakers say they don't have any inside information on what might happen and describe Attorney General Merrick Garland as someone who would make sure to run any investigation strictly "by the book."
The narrative was even bolder than that:
Sen. Richard Blumenthal (D-Conn.) said "clearly what [Trump] did" in the days leading up and the day of the Jan. 6 attack on Congress "falls in the ambit of what's being investigated and perhaps is criminal."
Sen. Tim Kaine (D-Va.) said it's up to the prosecutors at the Justice Department whether to charge Trump, though he believes that the former president's actions on and before Jan. 6 likely violate federal law.
"They have all of the evidence at their disposal," he said.
Kaine believes federal prosecutors are looking seriously at charges against Trump, although he doesn't have any inside information about what they may be working on.
"My intuition is that they are" looking carefully at whether Trump broke the law, he said. "My sense is they're looking [at] everything in a diligent way and they haven't made a decision."
"I believe there are federal statutes that are very much implicated" by Trump's efforts to overturn President Biden's victory in the 2020 election, Kaine added.
