Great work! Have you considered doing a summary on Youtube occasionally? Makes it easier to get the information across to others who don't spend as much time reading.

Fantastic idea. The world has been conditioned to have short attention spans. Videos would be effective.

And a YouTube video illustrated like a graphic novel and narrated by the man that read the Proof audible books would be deliciously meta

To put it another way:

Did Stone think the notion of buying ‘protective gear’ for his own security detail would give him cover for what he was actually doing ie fundraising for the insurrectionists?

As always, following the money will be key.

If the clent being protected has to buy the equipment for his limited security detail, it's time to hire new bodyguards from an actual, legal security company, not just your militia friends. Smells fishy.

What are the odds Stone gets picked up before trial starts? Has there been more news about Manafort lately?

Plausible deniability?

Will Stone try to hide his complicity/fore knowledge by alleging he was simply buying ‘protective gear’ for men he hired for his own protection?

I have yet to read the underlying Just Security article so perhaps my question is answered there:

Is the ‘conspiracy’ link not just the identical language/request about ‘protective gear’ but that Stone was trying to buy protective gear for insurrectionists in his own security detail because he ‘knew’ these men were planning to storm the capital?

Did you mean "is not" here?

It is increasingly fanciful—up to impossible—to disbelieve that Stone is one of these unindicted co-conspirators.

This sentence, lovely as it is, is a bit of a mouthful but I believe the prefix ‘dis’ in the word ‘disbelieve’ is the ‘not’ you’re looking for👍
