(THREAD) For years, readers asked me to share the shocking, fully sourced content of the 2,500-page Proof trilogy in new ways. The books exist—and this feed exists—but now we also have the limited-series PROOF podcast. This thread shares all 10 episodes. I hope you'll RETWEET it. Image
(1) I expect this will be my last political thread on Twitter, as following a brief social media break, I'll be moving into other spheres of journalism—particularly journalism on the future of journalism. It's a conversation America needs to have and one I want to participate in.
(2) My writing on Twitter will continue! Just on different topics—small-p "political" topics, like how we evolve journalism—rather than domestic policy debates or candidate horse-races. I want to thank everyone who follows this feed for many years of amazing support and kindness.

Because today is my 44th birthday, I decided it's a good day to give a gift to myself I've been wanting to receive for years: leaving political journalism for other journalistic endeavors. I'm looking forward to doing so after taking a brief social media break starting tomorrow.
(PS) Besides here on Twitter—after my brief social media break—you'll always be able to see what I'm up to on my website, which I hope you'll check out from time to time.

I can't adequately express my thanks to all of you for your kindness over the years. sethabramson.net
(PS2) Some are asking what I'll be writing about here on Twitter and elsewhere after my social media break, if not politics. The answer: journalism on the future of journalism. A historic accounting is coming for U.S. media, and I want to be a positive part of that conversation.

If you think being a social Democrat means walking around in a sackcloth with bugs in your hair and being unwilling to wear clothes Vanity Fair tells you to put on when it wants to take a photo of you, maybe the problem isn't @AOC but that you don't know what social democracy is?
Over and over again, @AOC has likened her notion of democratic socialism to the social democracy that dominates the Scandinavian countries Trump repeatedly lauds.

Do people really believe that working professionals in Norway, Sweden, Finland, and Denmark don't have nice clothes?
What I see today are some extraordinarily rich Republicans falsely—yet condescendingly!—telling working-class Republicans that working professionals in social Democratic countries live on peanuts and don't have nice things. That's much worse than what they falsely accuse @AOC of.

Good Lord. You've no idea what access he had to intel from the CIA—which was also investigating this. You've no idea how many briefings he'd had from FBI CD. The Mueller investigation started *after* he was fired. Many facts came out after May '17. Are you like kidding with this?
PS/ I don't know why I'm arguing with this goon, but want to point out for anyone reading at home that Taibbi had no problem with the FBI lying to the NYT in October 2016 about whether there was evidence of Trump-Russia ties—so of *course* he loves the Bureau's early 2017 stance.
PS2/ And for those reading this feed for the first time who know nothing about the Trump-Russia story—Trumpists—understand that Trump spent the whole of the 2016 general election secretly negotiating the biggest business deal of his life with the Kremlin, per the Mueller Report.

Attempts to discredit the Steele Dossier present a math problem. Steele said his raw intelligence would turn out to be "70% correct," meaning that if the dossier offered *100* data-points, *30* could be *false* and Steele would be vindicated. The GOP has found 1 false data-point.
The GOP "discrediting" of the Steele Dossier isn't even an attempt to discredit the dossier—it just tracks down Steele's sources and then implicitly asks, "Is this the *sort* of person who'd have reliable info?" The actual work of discrediting the dossier somehow never gets done.
Meanwhile, fact after fact after fact in the dossier has been proven minutely or broadly *accurate*—but neither the dossier nor its author ever get defended by mainstream media because the GOP deliberately made the issue too hot to touch. So all we ever hear is BS "discrediting."

As Trump's lawyer—working with Russian intelligence—pushes lies about Biden, Matt Taibbi writes in the NY Post that claims Trump's circle had "repeated contacts with Russian intelligence" have been "debunked"

And does so to bolster a story being pushed by Russian intelligence 🤦🏻
I don't know what happened to Taibbi—but I know a 500-pg. OSC report on Team Trump contacts with Russian intelligence, a 1,000-pg. GOP-led Senate report on Team Trump contacts with Russian intelligence, and 10,000 news reports on *this very topic* haven't changed some folks' tune
I also know that when 3 bestselling nonfiction books totaling 1,500+ pages and including 12,000 major-media citations detailing Team Trump contacts with Russian intelligence were published by 2 "Big 5" NYC trade presses, Taibbi and Glenn Greenwald read not a *word* of any of them
