At least six people providing security for Roger Stone participated in the Capitol attack, our new Visual Investigation shows. Here's how the guards (all Oath Keepers) went from guarding Trump's longtime confidant to standing inside the Capitol on Jan. 6:

Mr. Stone, a convicted felon who was pardoned by Mr. Trump, has a long history as a self-proclaimed “dirty trickster” political operative. On Jan. 5 and 6, Oath Keepers provided security for him, something he himself confirmed.
We combed through hundreds of videos and photos and drew on research from @CTExposers to visually identify Mr. Stone's guards on Jan. 5 and 6. — from that group, these six entered the Capitol during the insurrection.
Here's how. On Jan. 5, Mr. Stone made two public appearances in D.C. in support of Mr. Trump’s baseless claims of election fraud. In the afternoon, he spoke in front of the Supreme Court. Five of the six Oath Keepers we’re tracking can be seen in this video.
The Oath Keepers are a far-right, anti-government militia — and there's plenty of footage to visually identify them around Mr. Stone on Jan. 5 and 6. Here's another video from that same event in front of the Supreme Court.
That evening, on Jan. 5, Mr. Stone speaks at the “Rally to Save America” at Freedom Plaza, proclaiming that “we will win this fight or America will step into a thousand years of darkness.” Several of the Oath Keepers we're tracking are seen besides him, wearing VIP lanyards.
There are plenty of videos of Mr. Stone at this “Save America” rally on Jan. 5, especially in the Parler dump, such as this one, which @jenvalentino noticed.
After his speech and stage appearance at the rally, Mr. Stone is escorted back to his hotel, the Willard InterContinental. Again, he is flanked by several of the Oath Keepers that would end up in the Capitol less than a day later.
The next morning, on Jan. 6, Mr. Stone is spotted outside his hotel, a block away from the White House, in this video first surfaced by @jsrailton and @ABC. Mr. Stone is guarded by three individuals linked to the Oath Keepers, including one that we''ree tracking.
This is the last time Mr. Stone is seen on Jan. 6 in any footage we reviewed. However, it's worth pointing out that —on Gab, Telegram and Twitter— Mr. Stone continues promoting speeches and rallies that he says will happen near the Capitol that afternoon. But he never appears.
His security detail, however, can be tracked throughout the day. Here's a part of the Oath Keepers group, at around 11:15 a.m., near the Washington Monument.
Three hours later, at 2:17 p.m., Mr. Stone’s security team is spotted at the Capitol. One of them, Guard 6, can be seen taunting Capitol Police officers in riot gear, who are trying to protect the building.
Not much later, all six guards of Mr. Stone we tracked can be spotted inside the Capitol. Here's № 1, who drove Mr. Stone around in the golf caddie a day earlier, and № 3, in the hallway between the Rotunda and the main entrance on the eastern side.
And here are № 2 and № 4, who were both providing security to Mr. Stone the night before, in that same hallway between the Rotunda and the Capitol's main entrance on the east, as the police tries to clear the building.
Individual № 5, who also provided security for Mr. Stone on Jan. 5, can be seen here in the Rotunda, where he met up with fellow Oath Keepers, including two that have been charged with conspiracy, we know from our earlier reporting: https://t.co/NLO2HLELZ0
And individual № 6, who was seen earlier taunting Capitol Police officers, is also spotted inside the Capitol. He was identified by both national and local media as an Oath Keeper from New Jersey: https://t.co/nzLE2mpVHE
In an online statement, Mr. Stone said he “saw no evidence whatsoever of illegal activity by any members” of the Oath Keepers, and that if there was, “they should be prosecuted.”
This Visual Investigation was a team effort by @btdecker @_stella_cooper @dwtkns @arielle_designs @markscheffler @haeyoun @zaynman @sjalfano — reviewing hundreds of visuals and drawing upon earlier analyses of @CTExposers. Read our full piece here: https://t.co/h2IU3jwxcE

Last but not least, it's worth pointing out that, after they exited the Capitol, all six individuals who provided security to Roger Stone on Jan. 5 and 6 gathered around Stewart Rhodes, the founder of the Oath Keepers: https://t.co/mAKhKZ25zI

More from Government

Let me take a stab at this after years of reporting on Marine One, HMX-1, Continuity of Government, etc. None of this is definitive, but it could help explain what folks are seeing:

1.) HMX-1, which flies the VH-3D and VH-60N 'White Top' helicopters used to move... 1/X


the President and VP around, those helos being called Marine One or Two when either is onboard, need to train. The urban landing zones, including WH and VP Residence, are not simple to get in and out of. So, crews need some currency training. They are not just tasked with... 2/X

moving POTUS and VP to get them around the region and to Andrews AFB for long-haul flights, they are essential to Continuity of Government operations. This means that if a threat were to emerge, they need to be ready to snatch POTUS and VP in minutes. This is partially... 3/X

why they have a full forward operating location at Naval Support Activity Anacostia, just 3 miles from the WH. As such, practice is important and considering the state of things, it is critical now more than in any recent memory. 4/X

2.) Considering what happened last week, including mobs of Trump supporters screaming in unison to hang the VP for doing what the constitution states, absolutely despicable in every way, security has been tightened just as it has been all over. Using the helicopters instead.. 5/X
Labour Grandees are listed in Sir Keir Starmer's colleague Jeffrey Epstein's ''Little Black Book''; Blair, Mandelson and Alastair Campbell. COINCIDENTLY, Keir Starmer and some of the same people have connections to ANOTHER of the worlds most prolific peadophiles. #StarmerOut


Starmer failed to bring charges against Jimmy Savile for paedophilia. The decision was made despite the Crown Prosecution Service receiving substantial evidence of his crimes from witnesses and victims several years before Savile died in 2011. #StarmerOut

With a past like hers, Margaret Hodge might show a bit more humility.
In the Eighties Hodge was aware of previous child sex abuse in the care homes for which she was responsible, and did nothing about it. #LabourLeaks #StarmerOut

As leader of Islington Council, a post she held from 1982-92, Margaret Hodge was aware of previous, horrendous child sex abuse in the care homes for which she was responsible, and did nothing about it. #LabourLeaks #StarmerOut #CSA

She was guilty of rather more than a casual failure of oversight. In an open letter to the BBC after it investigated a range of monstrous abuse (child prostitution, torture, alleged murders), Hodge libelled one of its victims as “seriously disturbed”. #LabourLeaks #StarmerOut
This is a good piece on fissures within the GOP but I think it mischaracterizes the Trump presidency as “populist” & repeats a story about how conservatives & the GOP expelled the far-right in the mid-1960s that is actually far more complicated. /1

I don’t think the sharp opposition between “hard-edge populism” & “conservative orthodoxy” holds. Many of the Trump administration’s achievements were boilerplate conservatism. Its own website trumpets things like “massive deregulation,” tax cuts, etc. /2

The claim that Buckley and “key GOP politicians banded together to marginalize anti-Communist extremism and conspiracy-mongering” of the JBS has been widely repeated lately but the history is more complicated. /3


This tweet by @ThePlumLineGS citing a paper by @sam_rosenfeld and @daschloz on the "porous" boundary between conservatives, the GOP and the far-right is relevant in this context.


This is a separate point but I find it interesting that Gaetz, like Roy Moore did In his failed Senate campaign, disses McConnell. What are their actual policy differences? MM supported taking health care away from millions, a tax cut for the rich, conservative judges, etc. /5
