Alex Jones Requests Immunity In Exchange For Cooperating With Justice Department Investigation

According to reports, Alex Jones has reached out to the Justice Department and is hoping to strike a deal where he cooperates with their probe into the events of January 6th in exchange for immunity from prosecution. This is an interesting offer from Jones - and one that heavily implies he may have committed criminal actions. But is his cooperation worth it? Are there bigger fish he can give them than himself? Farron Cousins examines these questions.

So an interesting thing happened this week, Alex Jones, via his lawyers has informed the United States department of justice that he would absolutely be more than willing to cooperate with them in an ongoing, uh, grand jury actually investigation. They have about the events of January 6th. There's just one little catch, right? Alex Jones. Isn't just gonna walk in there, tell him everything. He knows. He wants an exchange for his full and complete cooperation immunity from prosecution. Huh? Now that's interesting. Now think about that for a moment. Folks. Suppose you're in a bank, right? You're in there. You put money in, take money out, whatever it is you're trying to do in the bank. You're just picturing yourself in a bank. Okay. Somebody walks in and they Rob the bank and you watch the whole thing happen, cuz you're standing right there. The police come to you later and say, Hey, oh my God. Okay. So you're a witness in this bank robbery. We're gonna need you to cooperate with, do you tell the police, do you go up to 'em and say, Hey, listen, I'm more than willing to cooperate, but you gotta promise not to prosecute me.

The, the police and prosecutors and investigators in that case are gonna say like, wait, wait, what? Why, why, why would we prosecute you? What, what, what is going on here fell? And that's kind of the way I look at this thing with Alex Jones, like yeah. Okay. I'm more than willing to pro uh, uh, to cooperate just you can't prosecute me. I want immunity. I want that deal. I'm sure the DOJ is probably like, wait, what, dude, dude, we haven't even subpoenaed you. And you're already trying to cut a deal with us. What the hell is going on on that is what I would think. If I were working on this case with the DOJ and I, and I hope it's what they think too. Like, well dude, we, we, we haven't subpoenaed you. We haven't really even gotten off the ground yet with this grand jury.

And you're already trying to strike a deal with this so that you don't get prosecuted. Hm. Something doesn't smell right about that. Now, in all fairness, Jones's lawyer did make clear to the DOJ. My client's done nothing wrong, right? He is no criminal activity. He didn't break the laws that day. He just doesn't trust the government. And that's why he wants the immunity deal. So that's the story coming from Jones and his attorneys. So he swears he didn't break the law, but also wants that immunity exchange for his cooperation. So tricky situation here for the DOJ, right? What do you do clearly in my opinion. Okay. I cannot, I'm not stating this as a fact. I'm giving you my opinion on this. My opinion is that Alex Jones clearly has something to hide. You don't ask for immunity and less. You're actually afraid of being prosecuted.

That's just a thing. So if Alex Jones had committed a crime that day is the crime more intriguing, more worthwhile than his full and complete cooperation. Ah, that's where you gotta start weighing things out. Do we wanna arrest Alex Jones? Well, that's not gonna do a whole heck of a lot of much, is it right? Let's be honest here. If Alex Jones did break any laws that day. Well, we, we know he didn't kill anybody. We would've known if he had assaulted somebody. So you're probably looking at misdemeanors or like very minor felonies that are gonna put him away for three to six months at best, which means three to six months later, he's back on the air. He's spewing his aisle and whatever is that worth it. We also know that he's buddy, buddy, with the folks that put on that stop the steel rally. People like Ali Alexander, who has been subpoenaed, but has made it clear. He fully intends to comply. But Alex Jones is also friends with a lot of other folks that were there that day. He may have some behind the scenes information because he did March with Ali Alexander to the capital. They were a part of the March.

Could he possibly prove that the March had been orchestrated that the riot itself had been orchestrated prior to the rally?

Mm
