(PROOF) My analysis of Trump's January 6 speech has been retweeted 75,000 times and seen 20 million times. But a more in-depth look at the speech is needed—as it'll be at the core of Trump's coming trial. Part I is now available for full PROOF subscribers. sethabramson.substack.com/p/a-comprehens…
1/ While full PROOF subscribers get an analysis of Trump's January 6 speech that's three times as long and detailed as the one available for free on Twitter, I really want to make sure the latter version remains readily available also, so here it is again:
2/ I've also done the only comprehensive analysis to date of the 4 speeches that preceded Trump's on January 6 and were intended to frame his own: two by family members, one by Trump's lawyer, and one by Trump's top Congressional ally. Here's that thread:
3/ Those readers who aren't yet ready to become full/paid subscribers are warmly invited to read all the free content now at the PROOF Substack. I'll always make sure that some of the content at PROOF is available to everyone. See the link below for more: sethabramson.substack.com

What the ProPublica videos establish is that the crowd descended on the Capitol on the northwest side. That's the part of the building closest to where Trump spoke. Alex Jones told people to go to the front, as Trump would be there. That's where the first major breaches occurred.
Watching these videos, it's increasingly hard for me to see how Alex Jones avoids getting arrested by federal law enforcement. That's significant, given that not only was Jones *directing traffic* during the insurrection but claimed on video to be *in touch with the White House*.
In a video, Jones claimed the Secret Service escorted him from the Trump speech so that he could lead the march to the Capitol. We now know that when he got there he told the crowd that Trump was coming, and directed where they should march. Breaches then occurred at those spots.

(PROOF) Here's a list, for full subscribers to the PROOF newsletter, of all known connections between the Trump campaign and the event that launched the ongoing Trumpist insurrection, the "March to Save America."

I'll keep updating this as events warrant. sethabramson.substack.com/p/trump-campai…

Uh...is this a message from Proud Boy James Sullivan on Giuliani's phone, referencing having access to Trump stooge and Giuliani associate Kash Patel at the Pentagon? Because either this is that—in which case it's a smoking gun against the president—or I have no idea what it is.
(PS) Remember, the Proud Boys have already been caught lying to media about whether they were using blaze orange hats and armbands to signal one another during the insurrection. Now it seems that a Proud Boy is using Trump's lawyer to spread disinformation about the insurrection.
(PS2) One possibility: Proud Boy James Sullivan is under investigation by the FBI after the arrest of his fake-leftist Proud Boy brother John, and one/both Sullivans are a) trying to get out of trouble with lies, b) in touch with Kash Patel as to the insurrection. FBI, take note.

I wonder if any Republicans understand that an impeachment is the equivalent of an indictment—which is returned by a grand jury without due process for the defendant. Due process comes into this equation at the trial phase. Yet these Republicans speak of due process being denied.
The defendant is not present at a grand jury proceeding. His or her attorney is not present. There is no cross-examination. There is no obligation for the prosecutor to present the defendant's case to the grand jury. The standard is probable cause, not beyond a reasonable doubt.
It's almost like the Republican Party has been demagoguing on the subject of criminal justice for the last 60 years purely as a dog whistle to white supremacists, rather than because they have any understanding whatsoever of how criminal justice is practiced in the United States.

It can't be emphasized enough that the chief suspect in the January 6 insurrection, Ali Alexander—who has confessed to a seditious conspiracy with top Trump allies Andy Biggs, Paul Gosar, and Mo Brooks—is currently on the run, and being funded through donations from seditionists.
In order to establish that Trump, Giuliani and their agents planned/coordinated the January 6 insurrection, all that's needed is to establish that Trump was in contact with his top allies about a plan for January 6 before the day. That's it—that's how close the evidence has come.
We already know Ali Alexander has met with Trump; we know he claims to have "private" info about Trump's calls to people in Arizona; we know Trump was trying to overturn the Arizona vote via direct intervention. The chance he didn't plot with his Arizona allies is virtually zero.
