Confirmed: this is a real photo from January 5. You can find it in this ABC story: https://abcnews.go.com/US/longtime-trump-advisers-connected-groups-rally-led-capitol/story?id=75261028

So Trump adviser Stone was being guarded by masked militia at the January 5 Stop the Steal rally, and says he was invited to lead the January 6 march—by whom we don't know.

I thought the one on the 6th that sparked the insurrection was the "Stop the Steal" rally?

"Roger Stone today is sitting in a D.C. federal court begging a judge not to crack down on him for being, well, Roger Stone. The Fort Lauderdale resident was arrested last month as part of Robert Mueller's investigation into alleged ties between the Trump administration and Russian hackers. After he was released on bail, Stone last week posted a photo on social media of the judge in his case, Amy Berman Jackson, next to an image of gun crosshairs. Whether intentional or not, the image seemed to be encouraging Stone's followers to shoot the judge.

In court today, Stone apologized profusely for his actions. Then he admitted something that most observers had expected for quite a while: He's working closely with various members of the Florida chapter of the Proud Boys, the hard-right, pro-Trump, semifascist group with numerous ties to harder-core white-supremacist organizations.

According to multiple reporters in the courtroom today, Stone has admitted he's coordinating extensively with the group. Stone even said that Jacob Engels — a notorious alt-right InfoWars reporter and all but admitted member of the Proud Boys — has access to Stone's cell phone and social media accounts."...(more)

about one of the goobers that was arrested, and she said she was there to "protect some Trump VIP members at the rally".

What are they ashamed of? Or planning to do, that they wouldn’t want to be identified doing?
