When serially dishonest attention seeker Alex Jones announced this week that Robert Mueller was investigating him and his propaganda site InfoWars, we were tempted to ignore him as usual. But two things stood out: his use of the word “espionage” and the timing. Jones made this claim just as it was becoming clear that Mueller was about to move on Jones’ close pal Roger Stone. Then Stone used the word “espionage” as well. Then we learned that Stone really did commit espionage. So is Alex Jones getting arrested too?

Last night we learned why Roger Stone has been recently talking about “espionage” in interviews: according to the Wall Street Journal he asked WikiLeaks to give him the Hillary/DNC emails that he believed had been stolen by Russian hackers, so he could use them to alter the outcome of the election. Moreover, Stone was careless enough to have these conversations via email, which the WSJ published, and which Mueller certainly has now if he didn’t already.

So now, based on Stone’s own emails, we know that he did indeed commit espionage, or some similar crime. Of course the grand jury ultimately has to decide what specific charges Stone is or is not indicted for, but as Stone acknowledged this week, Mueller is going to be able to get the grand jury to indict Stone on whatever charges he wants. Stone’s upcoming arrest is no longer a question. The big question here is whether Alex Jones is truly being targeted for espionage as well.

That’s going to come down to the evidence, of course. But we have to ask why Alex Jones is suddenly making such a claim, and using the same legal verbiage as Roger Stone. There’s little doubt that they’ve been discussing this with each other. Stone’s associates who have been hauled before the grand jury have surely told him what he’s being targeted for. If Jones is being targeted by that same grand jury, those same associates would know as much – and if they told Stone, then Stone told Jones.

What stands out here is that Alex Jones thinks he’s going down for espionage. Roger Stone is only about to be indicted because there’s a mountain of evidence and a parade of witnesses against him, and we know he did commit espionage. Jones will only be indicted if he did it as well. Is he telegraphing that he knows he’s guilty? As with all things Alex Jones, this continues to not quite add up. Did the lizard people make him do it?
