That's crap guilt by association. Roger Stone answered that on another program I saw on Newsmax. He doesn't know the guys, with his life threatened, Stone hired one offered to him as a bodyguard. You can find a photo of Neville Chamberlain shaking hands with Adolf Hitler. You can pull up a photo of Donald Rumsfeld shaking hands with Saddam Hussein. You can pull up a photo of Jeff Sessions during a State Of The Union address where he was introduced (by a Democrat) to the Russian Ambassador and shook his hand for 5 seconds. That doesn't mean any of these people photographed together know each other, or have any shared ideology.
As Stone said when interviewed about it, he's been destroyed financially and even had to sell his home to pay for his legal defense. He's not in a position to do thorough background checks on every person he hires just to protect his life from constant death threats.
That partisan article goes out of its way to imply associations, without ever going to the people involved to find out exactly what their true relationship is.
The "article" from ABC News calls Trump's assertion that the election was rigged a "false conspiracy theory" despite that there is considerable evidence and blatant videotaped evidence of thousands of fraudulent ballots snuch into Detroit, Atlanta, Phoenix and other vote centers, and thousands of affidavit-sworn witnesses to election fraud. "Unverfified" perhapss, but certainly not "false", except in a deceitful liberal narrative.

And yet not a word about Antifa and John Earle Sullivan, who was arrested by the FBI, with abundant self-incriminating videotape posted on Youtube and Facebook of his inciting and participating in violence, and directly inciting the ONLY murder at the Capitol that day, the shooting death of Ashli Babbitt. And the deceitfully worded in the article, "the incursion that left five dead" fails to note that it was LEFT-wing Antifa that caused the only death, and that the other four were either heart attacks or strokes, including officer Brian Sicknick. And that ZERO of those deaths were caused by Trump supporters, Oath Keepers or any other "right wing" group. That Ashli Babbitt was shot dead by a Capitol police officer from 25 feet away, that she was unarmed and clearly (in two separate videos, taken from two angles) NOT a threat to the officer or anyone else. And yet the officer iss not named, and the officer will not be charged. If Ashli Babbitt were a black Antifa member, cities nationwide would be burned in her name, and the media would not stop pushing until the officer who shot her was named and prosecuted.
And despite all the bias and insinuation, in the final paragraph:
Quote
Stone has said he played no part in such an effort. None of the men seen with him in the video has been arrested.
"A careful review of my language of Jan. 5 indicates that I played no role whatsoever in advocating violence or any inappropriate or illegal activity," Stone said in the statement to ABC News in January. "Indeed anyone breaking into the U.S. Capitol, trespassing and destroying property would only be hurting the America First movement that I support."
