IMPORTANT UPDATE from the #January6thCommittee materials: the good news for listeners of Charismatic Revival Fury is they did have the #WhiteHouse visitor logs that I ended the series pining for. The bad news is they only released select dates: govinfo.gov/app/details/GP…
They evidently decided to only release the logs from dates relevant to the material referenced in the #January6thReport (Dec 12 - Jericho March, Dec 14 - Electoral College, Dec 18 - nutjob Flynn/Lawyers meeting, Dec 21 - MTG, et al. meeting, & Jan 3-5 - leadup to #January6th).
So the Dutch Sheets prophecy meeting on Dec 29th isn't in there. For those coming in late to this conversation or who haven't listened to our Charismatic Revival Fury audio-documentary series (you should!), this is what I'm talking about: religiondispatches.org/evidence-stron…
1/ Having immersed myself in #January6th issues, this line of critique of #January6thReport by @donell_harvin is spot on.
The report's missing piece: addressing the massive intelligence/law enforcement failure.
The most chilling line of his analysis ...

"[L]acking is analysis of what should have occurred and who was responsible for the massive security failure ... The absence of any such conclusive analysis leaves ample room for conspiracy theorists to string disparate facts together and weave elaborate yet believable lies."

3/ To add to Harvin's analysis:
The committee's report thus leaves space for conspiracy theories to thrive ... the very kind of conspiracies that drive anti-government extremism...the very kind of extremism that helped propel the attack on January 6th and remains ongoing threat.

The 800-page gorilla of a report from the House Select Committee to Investigate the January 6 Attack on the Capitol seems strangely silent on a few matters that, apparently, were a bit too uncomfortable for them to take on... gregpalast.com/the-secret-his… #January6thReport
Yes, the #January6thCommittee did acknowledge our report, filmed by @ZDRoberts, that showed that BEFORE the #January6th storming of the Capitol, riot instigator and Trump ‘bro #AliAlexander declared: “We’ll light the whole sh*t on fire!” gregpalast.com/the-secret-his…
What the #January6thCommittee left out: We discovered that #AliAlexander was brought to Georgia by the National Republican Senatorial Committee and the Georgia Republican Party for their get-out-the-vote drive for the Senate runoff races gregpalast.com/why-did-the-ge…

|@KateBolduan asked me: "What evidence is most damning" in #January6thReport?
I discuss specific, brand new evidence of Trump and Meadows directing false electors effort.
A key one is Ronna McDaniel's call to Trump to say she accepts HIS request to help organize the effort.

2. The other points I discuss are contained here.👇
Including Trump campaign Associate General Counsel telling committee:
Trump "made it clear that Rudy was in charge of this [false electors] and that Rudy was executing what he wanted.”

3. As for Meadows's criminal liability for false electors scheme.
Week of November 18:
Meadows gets "a spreadsheet that the Trump Campaign had compiled. It listed contact information for nearly all of the 79 GOP nominees" who could serve as false electors (#January6thReport).

1/Where is rest of #January6thReport?
Trump & his fellow insurrectionist leaders deserved condemnation & criminal referral for their actions/inactions that led to #January6th riots.
But we expected this Committee to evaluate everything that contributed to that undemocratic day.

2/@January6thCmte had daunting task. Attacked relentlessly bc of politics. @HouseGOP declined involvement to its discredit. Two @GOP Members @RepLizCheney @RepKinzinger served to their credit & political downfall (short-term at least).
Entire effort should have been nonpartisan.

3/But we - Americans - deserved to also learn abt federal govt shortcomings & why we were not better prepared for events like #January6th. This was weak link in armor & democracy is only as strong as weakest link.
Where does blame lie all around?
Where does blame lie all around?
From his lack of transparency around disclosing his taxes to his willed attempt to subvert democracy (especially when there were other things to do: like mitigate a pandemic), Trump was extraordinarily unfit for the presidency and America paid the price. (1/4) #January6thReport
Our chain of peaceful power transfers is broken and a rabidly anti-democratic movement coalesces around a stab in the back myth rooted in Trump intentionally lying. The harm this era did to Americans, our country, and our democratic institutions can't go understated. (2/4)
There was also a MAGA structure filled with "good Republicans" who said nothing or actively pushed Trump's willed and corrosive lies. That is an indictment on the Republican Party of this time. (3/4) #January6thReport
There’s a #schoolvouchers link to the #January6thReport. It centers around attorney Cleta Mitchell who led Trump’s GA pressure efforts after the vote. #BigLie
Mitchell is all over the final report:

204: In this tweet you'll find a running thread of relevant excerpts from the January 6th Committee's report. I will do a video review of it as well, but the report is over 800 pages & I feel this reference thread could be of help in the future.
205. I hope every American takes the time to learn what the @January6thCmte has discovered. Since most of you don't have days & weeks to devote to getting all the information, I have compiled relevant #January6thReport excerpts for you. 👇🏽⏬🔽⤵️👇🏽 threadreaderapp.com/thread/1606122…
