While Jones didn’t end up speaking at the rally amid concerns from Pierson and others, the committee investigation uncovered evidence that he helped pay for the event. Afterward, Jones was filmed leading crowds down Pennsylvania Avenue. He was outside the Capitol as it was attacked and used a megaphone to try and urge the crowds not to “fight the police.”

Before that last-ditch appeal for calm, Jones did plenty to ratchet up his Infowars audience. He had featured members of the Proud Boys and Rhodes, the Oath Keepers founder. Jones appeared at multiple protests against the election, including at least one where he was flanked by Tarrio and other Proud Boys.

Jones was one of the highest-profile figures involved in January 6th who had direct ties to militants. We found even more on our link maps. Jones’s phone number showed him connected to Tarrio’s phone through calls and texts.

When I left the investigation, we still did not have CDRs for Alex Jones, and a lawsuit he’d filed but not served on the committee in December 2021 had been pending for three months. On the court’s public docket, nothing has changed as of this writing, almost five months later. As far as I know, the investigators still don’t have those CDRs. For me, that’s frustrating. Like Stone’s, Jones’s initial push to block the committee from analyzing his CDRs suggests there could be data lines that he wants kept off our radar. However, Jones sat for a video deposition. I was watching and got the impression Jones was genuinely afraid.

During the deposition, he raved hysterically about being worried to speak in front of California congressman Adam Schiff, a committee member who had earned full bogeyman status on the Right for his leading role in Trump’s first impeachment trial. In between the paranoid rantings, Jones’s testimony was not exactly illuminating. By his own admission, he pleaded the Fifth about one hundred times. Not exactly a bold revolutionary. Jones struck me as the kind of guy who talks the loudest in the bar only to disappear into the bathroom stall once a fight is on.

As dodgy as Jones was, his fellow Infowars host and right-hand man, Owen Shroyer, really tied it all together. Shroyer accompanied Stone in DC that day and the day before. His phone popped on the link maps, showing us just how much Jones’s network was tied in with militants. Shroyer’s number connected to Tarrio, Rhodes, and two other Proud Boys who were indicted for alleged involvement in planning to bring a large group to storm the building. Assistants, or tier two, under the principals we investigated were quite helpful in providing a more complete picture of events. The B-list helped us build the bridges on our link map between militants and some of Trump’s closest associates.

While prosecutors accused Tarrio, the Proud Boys’ chairman, of helping to lead the group’s planning for January 6th, he was not with his compatriots at the Capitol that day. Tarrio was arrested by Washington, DC, police two
