Copy of Alex Jones's phone turned over to Jan. 6 committee: Report

The House Jan. 6 committee has received a copy of Alex Jones's phone containing a trove of communications dating back roughly 10 years, according to a new report.

Sandy Hook lawyer Mark Bankston has handed a copy of Jones's phone, which he revealed during a fiery courtroom hearing in a defamation case last week that he accidentally received it from Jones's lawyers, to the Jan. 6 committee, a source told CNN. The phone, which Jones's lawyers failed to declare as privileged information, contains a trove of text messages and emails, the report said.

"I'm not standing between you and Congress," Judge Maya Guerra Gamble, who oversaw the defamation trial, told Bankston when Jones's lawyers sought to destroy the file and block him from handing it over, per the report. "That is not my job. I'm not going to do that."

Following revelations about the accidental divulging of the copy of his phone, the Jan. 6 committee reportedly expressed interest in obtaining it for its sprawling inquiry.

Remember when Project Veritas was raided by the FBI over having a copy of Ashley Biden’s diary that was abandoned?

Seems like a colossal blunder. Unless it is infected with viruses that self-destruct and take their host system with it. But that wouldn’t be nice...

“Seems like a colossal blunder.”

It’s not a blunder if it was done on purpose.

I can’t help but wonder whether Jones was sabotaged by his former Obama-appointee attorney.

“the court grabbed the phone and contacts for a member of the press and people aren’t losing it??”

As part of discovery, Jones’ attorney ‘inadvertently’ sent the contents of Alex’s phone to the plaintiff’s attorney.
The plaintiff’s attorney then followed procedure by sending an email to Jones’ attorney notifying him of the error.

Under Texas law, Alex’s attorney had ten days to protect or privilege the phone records. Alex’s attorney failed to respond within that ten day window.

After those ten days had passed, the entire contents of Alex’s phone lost any privilege it may have otherwise had.

It seems at this point, the plaintiff’s attorney could publish the entire contents of Alex’s phone on the internet.
