(🔐) NEW: The Coming Collapse of Trump’s January 6 Conspiracy, Part 3: Corey Lewandowski

You don't want to miss this—it's a wild ride that ends with maybe the most useful witness the House January 6 Committee could subpoena now. I hope you'll read and RT. sethabramson.substack.com/p/new-the-comi…

1/ I think this is about a 30-minute read or so. It's one of those slow boilers that simultaneously has individual sentences within it—including early on—that are absolutely critical and shocking but also easy to miss. This happens when one is curating *many* major-media sources.

2/ This article is on a forgotten man in Trumpworld, who may in fact have hit a "trifecta" on Insurrection Eve. On that day he did something I think no other Trumpist—including Giuliani—did. He seems to have been in all three of the White House, the Capitol, and a Trump war room.

3/ The reason you don't hear about Corey Lewandowski much anymore is outlined in full in the article—and it creates a sense that Congress and perhaps even DOJ are wrongfully using where people are positioned *now* in Trumpworld as a guide to where they were positioned a year ago.

4/ This report also connects to the most widely read article ever published by PROOF (or should I say "a series of articles"): on the biggest, most influential "war room" the Trumpists were operating on January 5, which media *will not report on*. It's not the one at the Willard.

5/ That's right, Lewandowski is getting ignored for the same reason Charles Herbster is, Peter Navarro is, Donald Trump Jr. is, Mike Flynn is, Eduardo Bolsonaro is, and on and on and on: because they weren't in the war room Bob Woodward reported on, they were in the *other* one.

6/ It's time for America to talk about Trump International Hotel. No—not just talk about it, obsess over it to a degree exponentially greater than even the obsession the media has with the Willard Hotel Insurrection Eve war room (which was actually a network of onsite war rooms).

7/ Here is my recent "thread of threads" on the Trump International Hotel room, which I posted on Twitter on January 6 (2022).

8/ In short, all the big names central to the plotting of the "Green Bay Sweep" were at Trump International—not the Willard—on January 5. And that includes (via phone) Ali Alexander, who I will argue in Part 4 of the ongoing "Coming Collapse" series is the linchpin to everything.

PS/ Thanks in advance to those who retweet the first tweet in this thread. Because the thread contains my "Trump International Hotel War Room Thread"—which is almost all free articles—I'd love for as many folks as possible to see it. TIH *has* to become a topic of discussion now.

NOTE/ One of the reasons the PROOF community is so amazing is that beneath many an article they’ve contributed new info that was jaw-dropping and required additional text be added to what I'd written. A reader has just sent a *key* photo that I will write about (in situ) shortly.
