After night one of the televised #January6thCommitteeHearings, the reality of what happened on that day has been brought into sharper, more terrifying focus.

We already knew what happened. But there were some new reveals. 🧵
We saw clips of Bill Barr saying Trump’s election fraud claims were ā€œbullshit,ā€ Ivanka Trump saying she was influenced by Barr because he’s always so trustworthy, and Jared saying all he really cared about was getting as many of his criminal associates pardoned as possible. (2/x)
Even for those who already knew Trump was a frantic psychopath, it was shocking to hear Liz Cheney say: "Aware of the rioters’ chants to ā€˜hang Mike Pence,’ the president responded with this sentiment: ā€˜Maybe our supporters have the right idea.’ Mike Pence ā€˜deserves it.’" (3/x)

🚨Fmr #NYPD Commissioner Bernie Kerik turned over some documents to the @January6thCmte but withheld numerous others, including one titled ā€œDRAFT LETTER FROM @POTUS TO SEIZE EVIDENCE IN THE INTEREST OF NATIONAL SECURITY FOR THE 2020 ELECTIONS.ā€

politico.com/news/2021/12/3…
Kerik’s lawyer provided the ā€œprivilege logā€ to the #Jan6thCommittee saying the file originated on 12/17, a day before Trump huddled in the WH w/advisers including Misha Flynn, where they *discussed seizing election equipment* in states whose results Trump was attempting to throw.
Another file provided by Kerik included emails btwn Kerik & others about paying for rooms at the Willard Hotel. Kerik wasn subpoenaed by the #Jan6thCommittee into the Willard Hotel ā€œwar room,ā€ where Trump cronies plotted to prevent Congress from certifying @JoeBiden’s victory.🧐

Sicknick’s partner: ā€œTo know that some members of Congress—along w/Trump who Brian & I once supported but who can only now be viewed as the mastermind of that horrible attack—are not acknowledging Brian's heroism that day is unforgivable & un-American.ā€
cnn.com/2021/06/23/opi…
ā€œOnly a handful of @SenateGOP showed that they possessed the moral compass to do the right thing by voting yes (on the #January6thCommission), putting America first, and showing warmth and compassion for the officers (as well as their families) who protect them daily.ā€
ā€œBy denying or downplaying the viciousness and trauma that occurred on January 6, (@GOP) members of Congress & the people who continue echoing their false narrative are engaging in a specific kind of psychological harm…known as ā€˜secondary wounding.’"

ā€¼ļøTrump’s lies that the vote was ā€œriggedā€ sparked a campaign to terrorize election officials—especially @GOP in #Georgia who refuted Trump’s lies—with threats of hanging, firing squads, torture and bomb blasts.

THIS IS NOT AMERICAN.🤬

#TrumpInsurrection
reuters.com/investigates/s…
Tricia Raffensperger—wife of @GaSecofState Brad Raffensperger—received multiple threatening texts:

ā€œYou and your family will be killed very slowly.ā€
ā€œWe plan for the death of you and your family every day.ā€
ā€œSomebody in your family is going to have a very unfortunate incident.ā€
In November, the Raffenspergers went into hiding for nearly a week after intruders broke into the home of their widowed daughter-in-law. That night, Oath Keepers—a RW terrorist group that supports Trump’s bid to overturn the election—were found outside the Raffenspergers’ home.🤬

🚨BREAKING: the @FBI has location, cellular and call record data revealing a call tying a Proud Boys member **to a person in the Trump White House** in the days just before the Jan. 6 attack of the Capitol.

#TrumpInsurrection #TrumpIsGuilty #GOPSedition
nytimes.com/2021/03/05/us/…
SHOCKER (not!): Separately, Enrique Tarrio—a Proud Boys leader—told the @nytimes that he called Roger Stone while at a protest in front of the home of Marco Rubio in the days before the Capitol assault & put Stone on speaker phone to address the gathering.

#TrumpInsurrection
That’s at least 2 members of the Proud Boys who were in communication with people associated with the Trump WH, underscoring the access that violent TERRORISTS had to the White House and to people close to Trump.🤬

ā€¼ļøRebekah Mercer—whose family bankrolled Breitbart and Cambridge Analytica—is a founding investor of Parler & holds the majority stake. She also controls 2 of 3 board seats to which she packed with allies.

Now, she’s scheming Parker’s next act.🤬
washingtonpost.com/technology/202…
Parler—which came back online last week with Mercer’s new handpicked CEO (former tea party patriots leader, Mark Meckler)—is the latest in a long line of Mercer family schemes to create alternative media that pushes a spin of the news that fits with their right-wing agenda.šŸ™„
Parler—while claiming it operated as a neutral tech platform—issued this news release Nov. 23:

ā€œSocial media publishers have also erroneously labeled Joe Biden as the president-elect, continuing the spread of misinformation concerning the outcome of the 2020 election.ā€šŸ™„

🚨BREAKING: At least 6 people who had provided security for Roger Stone—members of the Oath Keepers—too part in the siege of the Capitol.

Videos show the group guarding Stone *on the day of the attack or the day before*.

ARREST EVERY TRAITOR.🤬

nytimes.com/interactive/20…
On Jan. 5, the day before the Capitol siege, Stone made 2 public appearances in DC in support of Trump’s false claims of election ā€œfraud.ā€ Six of the #Seditionists who stormed the Capitol provided security for Stone.🤬 Image
That evening, Stone spoke at another rally near the WH, in which he claimed: ā€œWe will win this fight or America will step off into a thousand years of darkness.ā€ Several of the 6 #Seditionist Oath Keepers continued to provide security for him at this event.🧐

ā€¼ļøSCOTUS’ #CitizensUnited ruling allows UNLIMITED, ANONYMOUS money to support political campaigns—aka #corruption—so we don't know all who bankrolled the rally that led to the deadly #TrumpInsurrection.

Just like 2016 Trump’s campaign.

FOLLOW THE MONEY and #EndCitizensUnited.🤬
The really bad part about DARK MONEY: *no one* other than those directly involved with funneling the dirty money into campaigns knows who’s bankrolling.

It could be a US billionaire...or a foreign national. Once the $$ are here in the US, it’s easy to funnel $$ into politics.🤬
Jeb Bush’s Super PAC got nailed with a YUGE $390,000 fine for soliciting >$1 million from #China nationals.

The Citizens United ruling LEGALIZED #corruption, loosening rules to allow hostile foreign powers to launder $$ to support US political campaigns.🤬

ā€¼ļøVideo from Parler shows Roger Stone with #Seditionist Proud Boys leaders Enrique Tarrio & Ethan Nordean (aka Rufio Panman)—who allegedly helped plan the Capitol attack—the night before the Dec 12 ā€œStop The Stealā€ rally in DC.

ARREST EVERY TRAITOR NOW.🤬
In the video, InfoWars’ Owen Shroyer is standing next to Tarrio & hands Stone the bullhorn. Stone: ā€œWe will fight to the bitter end for an honest count of the 2020 election. Never give up, never quit, never surrender, and fight for America!ā€

#GOPSedition

Tarrio joins Stone and Nordean. Tarrio and Stone engage in an inaudible dialogue as Shroyer continues to rouse the crowd. ā€œWe got stabbed in the back by the SCOTUS tonight. This was never their revolution. This is our revolution!ā€šŸ¤¬

🚨SEDITION: The rally preĀ­ceding the #TrumpInsurrection was arranged and funded by a small group, inĀ­cludĀ­ing InfoWars’ Alex Jones and major Trump donor/@Publix heiress, Julie JenkĀ­ins FanĀ­celli—who donated $300,000 to bankroll the rally.🤬

#BoycottPublix
wsj.com/articles/jan-6…
Jones perĀ­sonĀ­ally pledged >$50,000 in seed money for the #sedition rally in exĀ­change for a ā€œtop speakĀ­ing slot of his choice.ā€

Jones also helped arrange for FanĀ­celli to give ~$300,000—via a top Trump campaign fundraisĀ­er—that bankrolled the lion’s share of the $500,000 rally.
FanĀ­celli doĀ­nated >$980,000 in the 2020 elecĀ­tion cyĀ­cle to a joint acĀ­count for the Trump camĀ­paign and @GOP.

Much worse, she bankrolled the #Sedition rally to protest the election results that kicked off the violent coup attempt at the Capitol.🤬

🚨SEDITION: after top DOJ officials threatened to quit in protest of Trump’s plot to oust Acting AG Rosen, Trump pushed @TheJusticeDept to ask the SCOTUS to invalidate @POTUS Biden’s victory.

Yet another attempt by Trump to overturn the election.🤬

wsj.com/articles/trump…
Trump pressured DOJ to file a baseless lawsuit in SCOTUS—top DOJ officials, including Bill Barr, refused.

Trump also plotted with Jeffrey Clark—acting head of DOJ’s civil division—to replace Acting AG Barr and use DOJ’s power to push #Georgia to overturn the election results.🤬
Former Trump admin official: ā€œHe wanted us to sue 1 or more of the states diĀ­rectly in the SCOTUS. The presĀ­sure got reĀ­ally intenseā€ after SCOTUS dismissed #Texas’ lawsuit. Trump’s lawyer drafted a brief Trump wanted DOJ to file, but ofĀ­fiĀ­cials refused.šŸ’„

🚨SEDITION: Trump plotted with Jeffrey Clark—acting head of DOJ’s civil division—to oust & replace Acting AG Rosen & wield DOJ’s power to force #Georgia lawmakers to overturn its election results.

DOJ department heads then said they’d QUIT in protest.
nytimes.com/2021/01/22/us/…
Their resignation pact helped persuade Trump to keep AG Rosen—calculating that a furor over mass resignations at the top of DOJ would eclipse attention on his baseless accusations of voter ā€œfraud.ā€

IMPEACH TRUMP AGAIN and PROSECUTE HIM CRIMINALLY for #sedition.🤬

#ConvictTrump
😱Trump’s decision not to oust Rosen came only after Rosen and Clark made competing cases to Trump in a bizarre WH meeting that 2 officials compared with an episode of Trump’s reality show ā€œThe Apprentice.ā€

This is the definition of a #SeditiousConspiracy.

ARREST HIM NOW.🤬

šŸ”„Dozens of influential @GOP in DC—including former top Trump administration officials—have been quietly lobbying GOP members of Congress to impeach and #ConvictTrump.

Efforts started with the @HouseGOP, but now are focused on Minority @LeaderMcConnell.

cnn.com/2021/01/22/pol…
ā€œMitch said to me he wants Trump gone," per 1 @HouseGOP.

The GOP whisper campaign is based on a shared belief that a successful conviction is critical for the future of the GOP, described as a ā€œreckoning.ā€

The GOP had better face a ā€œreckoning,ā€ after Trump’s #sedition.🤬
The lobbying effort has included behind-the-scenes pressure by GOP donors—#Sedition is bad for business and political fundraising.šŸ¤·ā€ā™€ļø

PLUS calls from former top Trump WH officials and a set of talking points **circulating among Republicans arguing FOR Trump's impeachment**.šŸ˜Ž

Both ā€œlone wolvesā€ and QAnon #terrorists—some of whom joined in the Capitol siege—have indicated they plan to go to DC for @JoeBiden’s #Inauguration.

The FBI also observed them downloading & sharing MAPS of sensitive sites in DC & discussing how they could interfere in security

Coup plot twist: A witness told the FBI a woman took Speaker Pelosi’s computer device during the Capitol siege intending to sell it to ā€œa friend in Russiaā€ā€”who planned to sell it to the SVR foreign intelligence agency. The witness said the transfer fell thru for unknown reasons.
UPDATE: Riley WILLIAMS has been arrested. She's the woman alleged in a plot to sell Pelosi's laptop to "a friend in Russia."

It should shock no one if Russian agents were involved in #CapitolSiege. Insurrection by "patriots" fed disinformation is a Kremlin specialty.
Hmm. This tweet about Riley WILLIAMS "in jail" has been deleted. Apparently only an arrest warrant has been issued, charging Williams with violent entry or disorderly conduct, and entering the restricted space of the Capitol (Per CNN). But Williams has NOT been arrested. Yet.

🚨Members of Trump’s failed campaign played key roles in orchestrating the Washington rally that incited the deadly Capitol assault.

At least 6 were paid THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS just weeks prior to the #TrumpInsurrection.

FOLLOW THE MONEY.🤬

A pro-Trump nonprofit group— Women for America First—hosted the 1/6 ā€œSave America Rally,ā€ but the public gathering permit lists >6 people as staff who were paid by Trump’s campaign. Other staff scheduled to be ā€œon siteā€ during the rally have close ties to the WH.🤬

#Sedition
šŸ“ŒAt least 1 was working for the Trump campaign THIS MONTH. Megan Powers was listed as 1 of 2 operations managers for the 1/6 rally—her LinkedIn profile says she was the Trump campaign’s director of operations into January 2021.

🚨@WSJ reĀ­view of thouĀ­sands of Proud Boys’ posts on ParĀ­ler, Telegram & Gab—including those now-deleted—show the group reĀ­peatĀ­edly inĀ­vokĀ­ing Trump’s rhetoric prior to the Capitol attack and that they **viewed Trump’s mesĀ­sages as a call to action**.🤬

wsj.com/articles/proud…
ā€¼ļøJust 3 days before their attack on the Capitol, Enrique Tarrio—leader of the Proud Boys—posted on Telegram: ā€œWhat if we invade it?ā€

The first reply read: ā€œJanuary 6th is D day in America.ā€

Premeditation of their #SeditiousConspiracy to overthrow our government.🤬

@lauferlaw
In December, after Trump tweeted ā€œbe there, will be wild,ā€ about the 1/6 rally, the Long Island chapter of the Proud Boys posted that Trump supporters have been ā€œwaiting for the green light from the President.ā€

ā€œEveryone who said ā€˜Mr. President, just say when?’ He just did.ā€šŸ’„

🚨🚨BREAKING: #MyPillow CEO Michael Lindell’s notes for his meeting with Trump show that he lobbied to install Trump loyalists to gin up ā€œevidenceā€ of electoral ā€œfraudā€ and impose #MartialLaw to keep Trump in power.

The #TrumpCoupAttempt continues.🤬

washingtonpost.com/politics/2021/…
ā€œ#InsurrectionAct now as a result of the assault on the...#MartialLaw if necessary upon the first hint of anyā€

Lindell appears to be arguing that, in response to the violence at the Capitol, Trump should invoke the #InsurrectionAct, which would allow him to impose #MartialLaw.🤬
ā€œMove Kash Patel to @CIA Acting.ā€

Kash Patel—former staffer to @DevinNunes—was key in Nunes’s efforts to undercut the #TrumpRussia investigation.

As CIA Director, he could declassify documents related to the #TrumpRussiašŸ‡·šŸ‡ŗprobe that some #traitors want released.🤬

Trump’s #Seditionists beat officers with metal pipes and a pole with an American flag attached, and used stun guns. Officer Fanone suffered a mild heart attack and drifted in and out of consciousness.
