(EXCERPT THREAD) To celebrate the release of Proof of Corruption—which ships nationwide today!—I'm posting a thread linking to (in order) all the excerpts from the book released so far, and summarizing what was revealed in them. I hope you'll read on—it's a wild romp—and retweet.
🇺🇸: COVID-19. Trump lied to America about when his team knew about the virus. He lied about how surprised he was by it. And at a time he knew of the virus and America didn't, he got a cold and was rushed off to a military hospital—and lied about that, too. read.macmillan.com/lp/proof-of-co…
🇨🇳: Trump-China. Trump both publicly and secretly colluded with China in 2019, trading U.S. economic policy in exchange for dirt on Joe Biden and his family. And when the agents he'd put in charge of that collusion were caught doing it, they lied about it. read.macmillan.com/lp/proof-of-co…
🇹🇷: Trump-Turkey. To protect his Turkish business interests, Trump intervened in three investigations on behalf of Turkey's president and permitted Turkey to invade Syria—forcing a US withdrawal, and leading to genocidal attacks against our Kurdish allies. read.macmillan.com/lp/proof-of-co…
🇮🇱: Trump-Israel. Trump was secretly colluding with the Israeli government—on multiple fronts—throughout the 2016 election. One front involved Roger Stone—who with Trump's knowledge sought illegal election interference from both the Israelis and the Turks. read.macmillan.com/lp/proof-of-co…
🇺🇸: Black Lives Matter. With the aid of AG Bill Barr, Trump has engaged in historic efforts to crush a peaceful domestic political movement, promoting senseless government violence against protesters in D.C. and then lying about the cause of that violence. read.macmillan.com/lp/proof-of-co…
🇺🇦: Trump-Ukraine collusion—Trump's outreach to Ukrainian officials to get fake "dirt" on Biden in return for changes in U.S. policy—has been going on far longer than Americans realize. The events that led to Trump's impeachment are the tip of the iceberg. read.macmillan.com/lp/proof-of-co…
🇺🇸: Bill Barr. Barr is running a sham investigation to tamper with the election, soliciting intel from foreign nationals and spreading conspiracy theories about his own department—knowing he's getting and spreading lies—to keep himself and Trump in power. read.macmillan.com/lp/proof-of-co…
🇮🇷: Trump-Iran. In consultation with the same autocratic allies he colluded with in 2016—MBS, MBZ, and Netanyahu—Trump lies to American voters about events in Iraq in a way that nearly causes war with Iran and leads to 200 wholly unnecessary US casualties. read.macmillan.com/lp/proof-of-co…
🇺🇸: Erik Prince (direct-to-Twitter excerpt debut). Just as Prince acted as a secret emissary for Trump in his collusion of 2016, Prince is still at it—meddling with affairs in Ukraine and Venezuela as part of Trump scandals that have yet to hit U.S. news.
🇺🇸: Sean Hannity (direct-to-Twitter excerpt debut). For reasons still unclear, Hannity—Trump's top domestic policy adviser—has yet to face serious questions over his secretive contacts with Trump during the Manafort scandal, a near-miss Iran War, and more.
🇺🇸: Rudy Giuliani (direct-to-Twitter excerpt debut). Giuliani is in fact part of a team of Trump attorneys that Trump has been using to commit crimes for him for some time—hoping attorney-client privilege will obscure their work on shady foreign collusion.
🇺🇸: Devin Nunes and the "BLT Prime Team" (excerpt coming to @LitHub September 8). A team of Trump collaborators—including Trump lawyers—began working on stealing the election for Trump in 2018. We know who was on the team, we know who helped them, we know the scheme they hatched.

(AUDIOBOOK EXCLUSIVE) I've decided to make Chapter 1 of Proof of Corruption available on Twitter. My goal is for potential readers to understand how profoundly different from conventional nonfiction "curatorial journalism" is.

I hope you'll listen and RT.
(PS) All I ask of metajournalism skeptics is that you listen to one chapter—knowing that, while you can't see it (because you're listening to the audiobook) there's an endnote at the end of almost every sentence you're hearing that takes you to a major-media investigative report.
(PS2) If this audiobook exclusive garners enough interest, I'll keep releasing chapters here on Twitter, so that people can better understand how metajournalism works: how dense it is, how free of gossip or extraneous information, how focused *exclusively* on major breaking news.

There is eminently reasonable outrage about Trump's lies—which were clear to most Americans, but now we have a confession they were lies on tape, in the event we needed it—but then there is also lazy reporting that implies Trump didn't know about the virus *long* before February.
PS/ The information Trump had in mid-2019 was that a killer virus that would kill hundreds of thousands was coming. In November 2019, he was told it was here—on Earth, now—in China. In late December he knew it was in or coming to America. The earliest Woodward tape is *February*.
PS2/ By the time the tapes were made, Trump had known for *weeks or months* how dangerous the virus was, and that it was upon us. And he lied every day. Journalists, for God's sake do *not* confuse the date *Woodward* discovered something with the date that *Trump* discovered it.

I'll bite.

✝️ You have this.
🔫 No one wants your small arms.
🇺🇸 Democrats are largely capitalists.
🚔 Weeding out bad cops isn't anti-police.
🇺🇸 Trump hates and endangers our troops.
🗣️ You have this.
🚧 Walls don't secure borders.
👶 OK.
🇺🇸 BS.
❤️ Trump is evil.
✝️ See above.
PS/ If a voter wants to throw away *every other issue*—like Trump killing 250,000 Americans in 6 months—because of the abortion question, there's nothing you can say to that voter. But every other "justification" for voting for Trump is a steaming turd pie of self-exonerating BS.
PS2/ None of us can stop our fellow Americans from knowingly voting for a monster who believes in *nothing* just to stop a moderate Democrat from occupying the White House. But what I can't stomach is such people pretending they don't hate what America stands for—because they do.
