Jan. 6 committee acquires Alex Jones's texts

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

The House select committee investigating the Jan. 6, 2021, attacks on the U.S. Capitol has reportedly obtained text messages from far-right conspiracy theorist Alex Jones after his legal team accidentally sent two years of his phone records to attorneys in a defamation case against him.

CNN reported on Monday that the texts had been turned over by the lawyer who represented parents of a Sandy Hook school shooting victim, who were awarded $45.2 million in punitive damages in their civil trial against Jones.

Jones had pushed the conspiracy theory that the 2012 shooting that killed 20 children and six teachers at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Conn., was a hoax, and that the parents were “crisis actors.”

The Jan. 6 committee subpoenaed Jones in November of last year for his alleged role in planning and funding the events that transpired that day.

On edit: I hope the naked pictures of his wife weren't included.

1. I hope someone provided eye bleach for those "intimate" texts with traitor stone.

2. They will be quite busy sifting through all of it.

I can't wait to find out what goodies are included.

3. There is reporting that those texts aren't from the Jan 6 time period though...

I know what the plaintiffs attorney said he had, when cross examining Jones. But that might have been hyperbole or exaggeration to try to rattle/provoke Jones in front of the jury

The time period that the texts may be from is late 2019 to early 2020, according to one story. Is that correct? I have no idea.
