Alexander did not respond to requests for comment.
While it was already clear members of Congress played some role in the Jan. 6 events and similar rallies that occurred in the lead-up to that day, the two sources say they can provide new details about the members’ specific roles in these efforts. The sources plan to share that information with congressional investigators right away. While both sources say their communications with the House’s Jan. 6 committee thus far have been informal, they are expecting to testify publicly.
“Democrats used tactics to disrupt their political opposition in ways that frankly were completely unacceptable,” the organizer says. “The breaking point for me [on Jan. 6 was when] Trump starts talking about walking to the Capitol,” the organizer says. “I was like. ‘Let’s get the fuck out of here.’ ”“I do kind of feel abandoned by Trump,” says the planner. “I’m actually pretty pissed about it and I’m pissed at him.”“What the fuck?” the organizer says.
Both sources also describe Trump’s White House chief of staff, Mark Meadows, as someone who played a major role in the conversations surrounding the protests on Jan. 6. Among other things, they both say concerns were raised to Meadows about Alexander’s protest at the Capitol and the potential that it could spark violence.
Heading into Jan. 6, both sources say, the plan they had discussed with other organizers, Trump allies, and members of Congress was a rally that would solely take place at the Ellipse, where speakers — including the former president — would present “evidence” about issues with the election. This demonstration would take place in conjunction with objections that were being made by Trump allies during the certification on the House floor that day.

If democracy is to be preserved, we as a nation, cannot forget our vote is more important in 2022 than ever. Get out and vote and encourage your family and friends to do the same.
Tatiana_Ann0 And why? So they could shut down the vote auditing that was eminent. Evil, pure evil. Now look at their mess.
Oh, my! They met to plan a protest? How outrageous!
Pelosi had to carry out her plan somehow.

I didn't see the doctored image of the fake Greene tweet. The Rolling Stone story is totally separate question. I found the story interesting--I can't say the reps name put country first. OTOH, I figured the committee can assess any evidence that exists.
🤣🤣🤣 more propaganda and innuendo to stir up the masses
FACT CHECK... YOU'RE A BUNCH OF BIAS, UNFAIR HYPOCRITES AND WHAT YOU DON'T SEEM TO UNDERSTAND LIKE THE TRUTH IS THAT NO ONE CARES WHAT YOU FACT-CHECK. A LITTLE INTERNET SEARCH WILL TELL PEOPLE WHAT'S REAL. OBSOLETE AND USELESS JOB, TRY GETTING A REAL ONE

I believe this one.
I believe this 100%.
I thought protests were good. We were told that all last summer when cities were lit on fire. Americans are allowed to meet and plan protests.
But your article didn’t reference the bogus tweet. It merely noted what organizers & participants said about the legislators with whom they were in contact. This doesn’t remove RepMTG from the insurrectionist hotseat.
RS has been wrong for years, its what they are.
The lies from RS never stop
ANOTHER GREAT ARTICLE BY THE ROLLING WIPE!
Why are they not fast tracking subpoenas or better yet, warrants?
This sounds like a RICO case against the mob.
I'm confused. So, MTG didn't post that tweet. Who did? Does that mean the RS article is false?
the coordination of protestors and targeted movement inside capitol made it an logical observation, even as 100s poured in that day. their purposeful was distressing
Yep all Democrats!!!
the truth is bad enough we don't need people making stuff up
I wonder what they were planning…🤔
Who are they Allegations aside Congress needs to look into this

Yea the Democrat side
That was quite clear When Ginny Thomas, wife of SCOTUS Clarence Thomas wished them blessings and well wishes the morning of, then scrubbed it for fbi, after organizing 80 busloads... Where is the rule of law on this? We’ve been asking since that day.
Joe Manchin R-Virginia Kyrsten Sinema-Arizona As for Arizona and Virginia they should consider whether they want them as their Senators consider not caring about your voter rights to champion a voting rights bill.
The only thing missing from this story is the phrase “anonymous whistle blower”. The people who gave evidence aren’t named, and were granted full anonymity for speaking.
howard52go You keep telling us about the planning but you never say what they were planning. What happened was chaos and for some reason the armament waiting nearby was never called. What was the plan exactly?
That’s a lot of terrorist
Anything to keep their families safe, I’m sure
Did you investigate this like the college rape hoax?
The rolling stone ladies and gentleman and lgbtq etc...
These comments are interesting. Some are funny. I'm really enjoying reading them.
The organizer offers an even more succinct assessment when asked what they would say to Trump. “What the fuck?” the organizer says.
No one cares
Shameful.
Fans for the 2nd worst team in US history.
Please show evidence I'll be so happy for them to go to jail
If this is the truth and can be proven. Maybe it would finally shut everybody on the far right up. Put them all in jail
Look at these Angry Young White Men fighting for?
Lock them up !!
We all knew this if we listened to the real time coverage…General Russell Honorė ( who helped so May from Katrina) stated it looked like coercion. Which means there insiders making the Capitol open for attack. Check out the names they mentioned in the article.
They are not protest organizers, they were a terrorist plotting group
This is correct, John Sullivan and the Anti-Trump leftiest extremists caught were arrested and pardoned. They did organize and even met outside the Capitol, on video, while Trump spoke to get ready to wave in the Rally members up and in. This isn't new info.
Why am I not surprised! Birds of a feather as they say! Criminals one and all!
That was aready exposed ? Not sure whT is different ?
Future generations will wonder why we ever allowed these kind of people to get back into the government instead of being tried for treason. This generation is creating a very bad precedent for the justice system.
Which should require the subpoena of those members of Congress and White House staff members pending charges. SeditionHasConsequences

Had you been reading social media for about 3 weeks before the insurrection..you would probably have seen it differently. They met with Senators and future rioters in the planning of this
KandiBnchNmbrs Tourist my ass.
GloriaProject1 Have you read this story? It demolishes your contention that Trump & GOP electeds had nothing to do with the planning for January 6th.
PROSECUTE! PROSECUTE!! PROSECUTE!!!NOW GIVE!!!!THEM LIFE IN PRISON

Black folks already new this was the case, carry on. You can tell by the videos of that day.
Rolling stone makes up more stories or “exclusive “ reporting than Biden talks about riding the rails while in office!
Just like the “dozens” of airline pilots or police officers who refuse to get vaccinated? This is the media’s new 🔥 phrase!!
Is this the new hot word by the media.. DOZENS?
They should all be charged and tried for this crime. It was a crime. And if any of us did this there would be charges brought! Why do they get off so easy just being kicked out? Not fair. Double standard. Not right. I'm pissed
Unbelievable. What won’t these guys do to hold on to power?
'The two sources say they do not necessarily believe there were issues with the actual vote count...they are concerned...Democrats gained an unfair advantage in the race ...' That's irrational. Unfair advantages? Trump lost the popular vote in 2016 but won via electoral votes.
cnnbrk CNN why are you not covering this story. You keep talking about Alex Baldwin and COVID. I am so sick of CNN at this point.

TheEliasRework Protest organizers? A planned coup by the Republican party to put trumps family back in office and end fair elections.
I corrected your headline for you.
Of course, it is necessary to carefully prepare an action plan to mobilize a 'political movement' with hundreds or maybe thousands of participants and a large cost.
When did it become a crime to participate in discussions to plan a political protest?
REPUBLICAN “Members of Congress.” There. I fixed it. “Two sources are communicating with House investigators and detailed a stunning series of allegations to Rolling Stone, including a promise of a “blanket pardon” from the Oval Office.”
It's Karma Time on all these fools

IN THE WORDS OF TRUMP YOU'RE FIRED!
“We would talk to Boebert’s team, Cawthorn’s team, Gosar’s team like back to back to back to back,” says the organizer. LockThemAllUp
Might as well include Merrick Garland if he is refusing to bring charges.
Thank you RS! We needed to hear this.
Just wow.
Of course Trump will pardon you, if he wasn't a loser. Look at the way Trump has treated his 'so-called' friends, and realize that Trump just uses people. Trump never cared about you, and still doesn't.
Obviously our GOP congressmen don’t have enough to do. Assign them more homework!!! Look at MTG she is running around with nothing to do but get in trouble with Mr Big Forehead.
Wait… planning protests on Facebook is now a bad thing or is it only bad when conservatives do it. Willing to be my civil liberties most the people is here commenting had no issues with the summer of love riots leading up to the election.

Yeah the insurrections were terrible but this article is… idk. Of course members of congress helped them plan the rally and protest, but I’m not seeing anything concrete on them helping them plan to storm the capitol.
WELL THIS IS NO SURPRISE... WE ALL KNEW THIS.
Of course they did
Reps Marjorie Taylor-Greene, Lauren Boebert, Mo Brooks, Madison Cawthorn, Andy Biggs and Louie Gohmert. Are we surprised ?
Are these 'protest organizers' FBI employees working for Hillary Clinton?

And when Herliy Clinton lost fair and square 4 years ago and her supporters went on a rampage destroying the city and hurting people, they got a free pass?
This is the most disgusting news I’ve ever read in my lifetime! These horrible humans cannot get away with this! 😢😢😢
Folks, we need to distinguish between the rally and the insurrection. The rally (including all planning and funding) is not going to get anyone indicted. Unless/until these people get linked to the violence, this is all just obvious stuff.
CNN MSNBC CBSNews ABC This should be THE only story all day, at a minimum, the lead story 🤔
WhiteHouse Why is this not all over the news? PressSec Jan6thCommittee Jan6Insurrection TrumpRally LockThemUp
talkwordy 'While the organizer says they did not get involved in planning the rallies solely due to the pardon, they were upset that it ultimately did not materialize.' It happens again and again. When will they realize Trump tells people to do something illegal then hangs them out to dry.
What makes Democrats superior is the media aura that supports them and promotes their lies
Nothing to see here. Keep moving.

There it is folks. The reason why they did what they did. They thought the WH had their back and a blanket pardon. The Trump true to form, left them out to dry.
What happens if the nutters get expelled from congress? Do they automatically get replaced by more republicans or is there another election?
No wonder the GOP wants to quit talking about Jan6. There is a lot more relevant information and Congressional involvement to hear about. My focus is on Mark Meadows. He's a major ringleader.
sharonamills Maybe it's time to also interview the 2 dinos....where were they on Jan 6th?
So when will you study the BLM and Antifa riots of 2020 and 2021 - have not seen that truth revealed ? Who funded the riots and bricks and protests from radical left that destroyed business and cost people lives! Tell us please if you know?
So we’re just supposed to believe Rolling Stone was able to prove there was an organized attempted to vandalize the Capitol but the FBI couldn’t?
There is a different between protest and riot. Show me the evidence that every single person who showed up the protest had premeditated plans to storm the capitol.
RepBrianMast BrianMastFL explain away this or ignore it like you do every trumpublican incident
Call the coup a coup.
This is beyond disturbing.
Here we go with the unnamed source story again
LockUpTrump LockUpTheGOP TRE45ON
this makes the cover up even more disgusting. honestly biggest takeaway was how these organizers are trying to make a distinction between the legit evidence they wanted to present on the floor (and mad they couldn't) v the riot. It's laying groundwork for a new narrative
I’m so done with Traitors & Racketeers in Congress
No surprise here.
Oh.
gtconway3d Time to arrest Congressional traitors!
Dispicable.. hold them ALL accountable.
I’m not surprised. Good work, RS.
I'd call my congressman, JohnRoseforTN, to express my outrage if I thought it really mattered or that he'd take interest in the work/findings of the January 6th investigation seriously. Dude's nothing but a fancy cracker with a giant slab of American cheese on top.
gtconway3d Well I'll be
Damn near a year has passed and, now this?!?!
This guy confirmed what you reported?
Tricks and treachery are the practice of fools that don't have brains enough to be honest.
Another fine example why the Electoral College must be abolished. One person one vote. Too many crooks making decisions how our POTUS elected.
MoistenedTart This is a heist gone wrong. They're beginning to realise they're surrounded. The next phase is the taking of hostages, and the demand for transport to a safe haven.
If RepBurgessOwens was elected in 2018 instead of 2020 100% chance he’s a part of this group.

Of course they did. Anyone who’s surprised hasn’t been paying attention.
Our House Select Committee must complete its discovery of the January 6th attempted Coup by Donald John Trump or our Democracy is doomed.
ArrestGreene and Rep. Paul Gosar (R-Ariz.), Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-Colo.), Rep. Mo Brooks (R-Ala.), Rep. Madison Cawthorn (R-N.C.), Rep. Andy Biggs (R-Ariz.), and Rep. Louie Gohmert (R-Texas).
Its the 25th Oct, how broken is the US that it cannot deliver justice against an armed insurrection promoted by a losing president, a complicit FOX news media and a Republican party taken over by and run by corporations. Very very broken
I’m all for getting these scumbags, but honestly it just looked like these organizers were on the record saying the House Members involved were planning only non-violent protests. It isn’t the smoking gun we’re looking for. It IS a way for these organizers and congressmen to CYA.
I hope y'all got some 'receipts'
This.
Give it up we all know Jan 6 was blown way out of proportion to your crying reaction. Only one who died directly from the riot was a trump supporter who was unarmed
Lock them up and throw away the key
👽
Wouldn’t be surprised, but they also tend to have a very loose relationship with the truth. So I wouldn’t necessarily put too much stock in their words. I’d need some actual evidence.
Oh my God. How can those congress members and staff believe in our own Constitution at the same time as this betrayal of it? They have dishonored the People's House with their disservice for country and should leave! Our men and women fight to protect our democracy.
I’m shocked, said no one. Looking forward to hearing more and more about what they have to say🤗

Yep knew that all along
