On @CNN just now, @RepCharlieDent on the three Congressmen - Brooks, Biggs, Gosar -- who allegedly helped the protest that turned into the mob: "There's no doubt, they'll have to lawyer up pretty fast."

Reps. @DrPaulGosar , @RepAndyBiggsAZ credited in video with organizing Trump crowd in DC on day of riot. Not surprising and don't expect any contrition or sorrow--these two are too far gone. https://t.co/nLrUWXB95t via @azcentral

Ali Akbar Alexander organizer of "Stop the Steal" -- and a great friend of GOP Reps. Paul Gosar, Andy Biggs, Mo Brooks
It can't be emphasized enough that the chief suspect in the January 6 insurrection, Ali Alexander—who has confessed to a seditious conspiracy with top Trump allies Andy Biggs, Paul Gosar, and Mo Brooks—is currently on the run, and being funded through donations from seditionists.

In order to establish that Trump, Giuliani and their agents planned/coordinated the January 6 insurrection, all that's needed is to establish that Trump was in contact with his top allies about a plan for January 6 before the day. That's it—that's how close the evidence has come.

We already know Ali Alexander has met with Trump; we know he claims to have "private" info about Trump's calls to people in Arizona; we know Trump was trying to overturn the Arizona vote via direct intervention. The chance he didn't plot with his Arizona allies is virtually zero.
