Here’s a little tip from your Uncle Jack for all you people planning to take on seditious and criminal activities in the future:  don’t sign on with filmmakers to record the planning and execution of your crime.  Stop thinking “Ocean’s Eleven” was a cool documentary; it wasn’t.

According to the Guardian, filmmakers Jason Rink and Paul Escandon embedded themselves with Stone and others involved in the “Stop the Steal” fraud from November up until the time of the January 6th domestic terrorist attack on Congress.  The pair has been subpoenaed by the House Select Committee investigating the efforts to overturn the 2020 election, but the Danish filmmakers are challenging the subpoena claiming press freedoms, and the Committee is honoring the claims of freedom of the press at this point by not demanding the team turn over film.

The film crew followed Stone and Alexander in the months after the November election, including to backstage meeting with people like Republican Arizona Congressman Paul Gosar, Trump lawyer Rudy Giuliani, and disgraced former national security adviser Michael Flynn. 

Although the filmmakers did not record footage of Stone speaking directly with Donald Trump, in footage viewed by the Guardian, Stone repeatedly says that he’s talked to Trump or been in contact with him in other ways.  Such contact with darken the line connecting Trump to the Proud Boys and Oath Keepers through Stone, who used members of the extremist groups as bodyguards on January 5th and 6th, and who led attacks on the Capitol to prevent the certification of the 2020 Presidential election by Congress to name Joe Biden the 46th President.

Incidentally, why are all the documentarians hired by “America First” blowhards foreigners?  This is the second set of Danish filmmakers who were following Stone; the first set, Christoffer Guldbrandsen and Frederik Marbell, and their film “A Storm Foretold,” were profiled by the Washington Post in March.  A British filmmaker, Alex Holder, has already testified before the House Select Committee and voluntarily turned over scores of hours of footage.
