During his presentation, Watkins claimed that he obtained the files from Sheronna Bishop, a right-wing activist from Colorado who was previously Rep. Lauren Boebert’s campaign manager, and who has praised and boosted the Proud Boys.

Clevenger confirmed to VICE News on Thursday that it was in fact Hayes who had provided the data from Mesa County to Watkins. What Clevenger, who represented the Seth-Rich conspiracy theorist Ed Buttosky, was not able to say for certain was if it was Hayes who also provided the video clip to Watkins, who Gerard Wood was, or if, as some open sources investigators tracking this situation believe, that Hayes and Wood are in fact the same person.The only person who seems to be able to clarify this is Peters, but unfortunately she is not answering her phone at the moment.Peters did attempt to explain the legal situation on stage during the conference, but made little sense when responding to questions from the audience. Her responses were also drowned out at times by a loud duck quack sound effect, which was used throughout the conference as an apparent warning to speakers that what they were saying could potentially get them in legal trouble.
