(🔐) BREAKING NEWS: Trump's Insurrection Eve Willard Hotel "War Room" Attendee List Swells

I hope you'll subscribe, read, and RT.

After months of PROOF reports on events at the Willard Hotel on January 5/January 6, we've got a really big new development. sethabramson.substack.com/p/breaking-new…

1/ When I was writing about the Trump-Russia, Trump-Ukraine, Trump-Iran, Trump-Turkey, Trump-China and Trump-Venezuela scandals, I used to say that "New info seems to *never* be exculpatory—everything just gets worse and worse." Well, that's the Willard Hotel story in a nutshell.

2/ PROOF had before today, and still has now, the most comprehensive roster of the occupants of *every* Trump January 6 war room, including the *three* (minimum) that were operative on Insurrection Day at the Willard Hotel. The new Costa/Woodward book adds two very useful names.

3/ But it's not just the addition of the names—which is, candidly, all we get in the book, at least on this issue, which covers 1 page of a 500-page book. It's what PROOF previously published about these new war room participants—and their allies—that makes this news significant.

4/ Brazil; the "Pentagon City meeting"; the Stone-Trump summit at Trump International Golf Club in West Palm Beach on December 28 (2020); possible interactions between the three Willard Hotel war rooms; it all comes into play from just a few, unheralded sentences in the new book.
