This is pretty hilarious. The guy, front-right, is recognizable from being placed right behind Trump at rallies. Pathetic isn't a strong enough word

So, some conspiracy theories are valid, but others are not. It just depends on who is proposing them and whether or not they align with one's views.

No, it depends on if they can be objectively proven.

I think you and I are going to disagree with respect to our definitions of what is and is not objective.

Ok. I’m confident in the reporting that’s been done, on the right’s use of protestors doing it for pay and/or notoriety (grift). Which isn’t to say that it’s not a both sides thing.

Someone needs to call the attention of the House's Select Subcommittee on the Weaponization of the Federal Government (Jim Jordan, Chairman) to this activity of the House's Judiciary Committee (Jim Jordan, Chairman).

I would venture to guess that one who organized the 1/6 Stop the Steal rally probably doesn't need to go to the trouble of faking a mugshot.

Yeah, this is not good for The Defendant. He doesn't have enough money to keep the rats from squealing.

His final (legal) play will be to say he did all of this on the advice of counsel...which will fail.
