Alex Jones pleaded the Fifth ‘almost 100 times’ when questioned by Jan. 6 panel
Nypost ^ | 01/25/2022 | Callie Patteson

Infowars founder and conspiracy theorist Alex Jones revealed Monday that he met with the House select committee investigating last year’s Capitol riot — and exercised his Fifth Amendment right against self-incrimination “almost 100 times.”

“I just had a very intense experience being interrogated by the January 6 committee,” Jones said on his podcast. “They were polite, but they were dogged.”

Alex Jones is usually correct. It is his style that turns many off.

I think it was Roger Stone, and the Secret Service.

He left town real quick.

No Republican should ever testify in DC without a grant of immunity. A prosecutor need only accuse him of saying something false, and a Republican-hating jury (typical of that jurisdiction) will automatically convict, with utter disregard for truth. Don’t believe me? Talk to Scooter Libby or Roger Stone.

And _sure_they are happy to promote “Laptop from Hell” that came out at the end of November 2021, over a year after the election. But when it counted, two weeks before the election, and had massive amounts of bribery and rape evidence.... Fox, including Tucker, took a walk.

And Sean Hannity? LOL. That simp even still supports the FBI and Lindsey Graham.

“No Republican should ever testify in DC without a grant of immunity. “

Ollie North got immunity, and they still prosecuted him. All the prosecutor has to do is “prove” they got the information from some other source and they are in business. All the immunity does is say that the person’s specific testimony cannot be used.
If you are called to testify, take the 5th. Only you can be the judge about whether your words will incriminate you. And if you are worried to do that, say you can’t remember. Say it 500 times in a row if needed.
Ok for Hillary and the FBI crooks.

Wise move. Don’t need an attorney if you assert your 5th Amendment right against the possibility of self incriminating.

In fact, you don’t have to say anything. Don’t have to take the oath, or even verbally assert your right to remain silent. Just bring a book to read until they just give up and dismiss you.

Exactly. Sometimes when he gets on a loud yelling rant and does the showman thing, I just shake my head. But his reporting is pretty good. And it’s almost all him reporting news stories published, videos of guys like Schwabb speaking, Bill Gates saying psycho things, interviews woth people, etc. All well sourced and checkable, etc. Very little of it is his opinion.

But you are right, his persona turns a lot of people off.

Scene opens with....Noise of bolt working cartridge into the chamber then forced home. Clicking of dial as “THE DesertRhino” zeroes on target. Camera close up as.... BOOM the man hits dead center bullseye with his reply posting. ...... Scene fades from target to black....

I like it.

I think he should have used the line Democrats always use - “I don’t remember.”

I don’t believe he did what you say in reference to those children. I think his point was, where are the death certificates? As in, prove it happened with checkable facts. That is very different.

Why should the parents of the children who were brutally murdered have to provide death certificates to satisfy Alex Jones' sick curiosity and frankly, stupid conspiracy theory wrong?

Answer that.

Alex Jones was played like a fiddle by the Deep State. He helped organize several protest marches against election fraud, and his Infowars, which is the 900 pound gorilla in the alternative media, promoted the January 6th march. No doubt, thousands of the attendees were motivated by Jones's broadcasts. Both he and President Trump were duped into staging and speaking before the election protest rally, even as a minuscule minority of the attendees, no doubt led by Federal agents and with Antifa members disguised as MAGA supporters, breached the Capitol.

I came across him and he seemed good until he went off half cocked on lizard people stuff. He seemed nutty then.

If Alex stayed away from stuff like that it would help him a lot.

You are so right.

Literally just yesterday I was having a conversation about ‘conspiracy theories’. I framed the rationale in a manner which took me aback as the words left my lips:

Conspiracy theories are analogous to the improbable. A responsible, rational, logical investigator never ignores the improbable simply because others emotionally label such alternatives as ‘conspiracy theories’.

We all know the results of 2 years of those ‘improbabilities’.

I was taken aback at my own words because I’d never read, written or otherwise discussed such a notion prior; it literally just hit me and, thusly, explains my longtime support of Jones in spite of my disagreement with him on numerous topics (Sandy Hook being one of them).

The man is a showman, no doubt. But he has cajones like few others and, as noted, is right much more than those in lamestream.

They should be public record, everyone else who dies, the record is public. Isn’t that the very basis of a story? Prove it happened. Given the events, the laughter from a very glib “father”. The fact that no one shot survived, or that any were taken to hospital or trauma centers.

It should have been a simple matter of proving who died, when and the cause.

Buh-bye. You’re as nutty and wortless as Alex Jones.

Well if the idiot prosecutor had continued for a hundred more questions then that would have been the count. When taking the fifth, would it be ethical to ask the prosecutor if he is too dense to understand what is happening?
“How many more times do you need to ask me this, sirrah?”

I’ve heard his name many times, but I don’t really know who or what he is about.

Kudos for not feeding the creeps of 1/6 any food.
