'Stop the Steal' speaker Brandon Straka gave FBI info on rally organizers, more than a dozen others as part of plea deal

WASHINGTON — A right-wing activist who spoke at Freedom Plaza on Jan. 5 and then joined the assault on the Capitol the next day provided information to the FBI about rally organizers and more than a dozen other members of the “Stop the Steal” movement as part of a plea deal to avoid a felony charge, according to court filings newly unsealed this week.

At his sentencing hearing, assistant U.S. attorney Brittany Reed told a federal judge Straka’s conduct on Jan. 6 was “egregious” and, despite a cooperation agreement that got him out of a felony civil disorder charge, he should not be lumped in with other defendants who were caught up in the heat of the moment. Reed did not provide specifics about Straka’s cooperation on the public record and, at the time, many of the filings related to Straka’s sentencing were sealed.

On Wednesday, a batch of those documents was unsealed following a request from a media coalition of which WUSA9 is a member. Those newly unavailable documents included the substantial assistance sentencing memo filed by Straka’s attorney, Stuart J. Dornan.

In the memo, Dornan said Straka provided “significant information” to federal investigators over three interviews with the FBI following his arrest. In one interview on March 5, 2021, Straka, according to Dornan, provided information about "individuals who were inside of Nancy Pelosi's office; individuals who were inciters at the Capitol; and organizers of the Stop the Steal movement." He also listed the names of individuals Straka spoke to the FBI about. Those names include rally organizers Amy and Kylie Kremer, Cindy Chafian and Ali Alexander — who Dornan described as the “preeminent leader of the Stop the Steal movement.”

I didn’t realize the “Stop the Steal” movement was secret. I thought it was hundreds of thousands of people who believed Biden won by deceit and fraud.

The J6 political prisoners are used as an example to deter the Country Class from getting any ideas about challenging the corruption in the system.
TPTB don’t need to arrest 100 million Trump supporters, just create enough fear to control them.

Hard to believe they wouldn’t be able to ID those people anyway. Gotta be a good pic or two somewhere in the 14,000 hours of video.

Exactly. My suspicion is the FBI informants fingered these people, but the FB I needs cover for their informants, so they claimed Straka confessed the names of the organizers in a plea deal.

I don’t believe a damn word out the FBI. Not one damn word.

My thinking is that they are hostages. Wait for Trump to announce.

This whole thing would have been successful if they just stayed outside the capital. None of this would be happening if they just protested in front of the capital.

The reptiles of the deep state don't like it when their own tactics are used against them. They're the only ones that are allowed to loot and riot for peace and equity dont’cha know.

“... if they just protested in front of the capital...”

A friend of mine was there at the Trump speech and the tens of thousands present were going to do just as you said. But as they walked and could finally see ahead to what was happening, returned to their hotel instead of going on to the Capital. They had no idea what occurring, but saw enough to know something was wrong
