House select committee shut down its investigation into the insurrection at the U.S. Capitol[…]
Among the transcripts released was an interview with far-right activist Ali Alexander, who played a central role in organizing the so-called “Stop The Steal” movement[…]
When the select committee shut down without Alexander facing any charges stemming from the insurrection, he unleashed a wildly egotistical rant during a Telegram livestream, bragging that he had “raped the January 6 Select Committee”[…]
Ali bragged on the livestream[…]“I am the father of dragons. The father of dragons! I red-pill celebrities. I create nationwide movements. I make members of Congress shake”[…]

So, here I am talking to the future, and they didn’t even realize I knew how to talk into the transcript[…]I knew when it would frustrate the court reporter[…]I knew when to say something they thought that they can lick their lips on, and then finish the sentence with, ‘I don’t know’[…]or start a sentence, ‘I don’t know’[…]If I had to form an opinion today it would be: brrrraattta ta ta ta ta ta ta ba boom!”
