Once again ignoring the infamous Stringer Bell Rule: “Is you taking notes on a criminal f*cking conspiracy?”.
Per Rolling Stone:
The Jan. 6 committee has subpoenaed documentary filmmaker Alex Holder in regard to footage and interviews Holder and his team shot while following former President Donald Trump and his inner circle throughout the 2020 presidential campaign.

As a filmmaker, Holder is best known for his documentary Keep Quiet, which covered far-right Hungarian politician Csanad Szagedi’s fall from power.
