(CROWDSOURCING) America needs evidence of where Trump was on the night of January 5 (the night of the Georgia runoff). If you have such evidence—not mere rumor but something hard, like photographic evidence, testimonial evidence or a fully sourced major-media report—post it here.
(PS) So far, all we know is that Trump had no listed events on that day. Investigators will be trying to find out if Trump went to his hotel in D.C. on January 5, or if, from 8PM onward, he was in the residence making calls to unknown parties.
(PS2) @RktTck helps us see that Trump was with Pence at the White House for lunch on January 5. The timeframe we're looking for is the evening of January 5, however. m.washingtontimes.com/news/2021/jan/…
(PS3) Per @Karl_Mpls (and Vanity Fair), at some point in the "evening" of January 5 Trump was with Stephen Miller, Chris Miller, and Kash Patel in the Oval Office. We don't know how late, and we don't know if he made calls during or after that meeting. m.washingtontimes.com/news/2021/jan/…
(PS4) This article (below) was the one that I meant to post in my last tweet, but I got an important phone call and was in a long conversation immediately after posting "PS3." Sorry about that! So here's the Vanity Fair article that I meant to post in PS3: vanityfair.com/news/2021/01/e…
(PS5) At 5:30PM on January 5, Dan Scavino tweets that "we" can hear the Trump rallies from the White House—and there's video from outside the White House. At 10:55PM on January 5, Marjorie Taylor Greene says she has just gotten out of January 6 "planning meetings" at the Capitol.
(PS6) Honestly, I'm pretty amazed that major media doesn't have a readily available tick-tock of where the president was after he returned to DC from Georgia on January 4 or January 5. The man's about to go on trial—and we don't know his movements pre-insurrection? Seems bizarre.

BREAKING NEWS: The ALABAMA POLITICAL REPORTER picks up my Trump International Hotel report from PROOF and contacts Senator Tuberville (R-AL) for comment.

Tuberville now claims that what Charles Herbster put on social media is false.

Someone is lying. alreporter.com/2021/01/26/tru…
"APR sent questions to a Tuberville spokesperson asking if the senator attended a 1/5 meeting with Trump at his hotel and if so, why was he called to the meeting and what was discussed. The Tuberville spokeswoman replied 'the answers to your questions are No and Not Applicable.'"
The only way one of Tuberville—the Alabama senator—and Herbster (the 2022 Nebraska gubernatorial candidate) aren't lying is if Tuberville's office answered the APR query based on a technicality: i.e. that the no was to being at a TIH meeting "with Trump," not being at TIH at all.

BREAKING NEWS: Please RETWEET this major revelation about a secretive January 5 meeting at the Trump International Hotel that involved top advisers to the president and leading insurrectionists. I hope you'll consider subscribing to PROOF after reading it. sethabramson.substack.com/p/january-5-me…
1/ What the FBI must now determine—in addition to the items I listed in the article—is whether Trump himself was (1) present at the meeting in person, (2) on speakerphone during the meeting (his M.O. for meetings he doesn't want to be placed at) or (3) briefed about it afterward.
2/ Trump has a history of calling in to meetings by speakerphone that he considers it unwise to attend in person—I detail many such in my Proof books—but it may be that he was present at this meeting in the flesh. Otherwise he gave his sons access to his private residence for it.

(PROOF) Please RETWEET this major exposé of Trump and his advisers' involvement in the January 6 insurrection—particularly Roger Stone. This info is urgent and shocking and needs to be read by every American. If you agree, I hope you'll subscribe to PROOF. sethabramson.substack.com/p/the-fingerpr…
(PS) As with all PROOF essays, full subscribers—it's only $5/month, the lowest amount Substack lets columnists charge—can also participate in the comment fields of each entry and ask questions during Q&As. I mention this in the event you want to join the discussion over at PROOF.
(PS2) This essay—and others I've posted on PROOF, all fully sourced from major media—should serve as a warning to the Republican Party: the evidence is mounting that Donald Trump didn't just incite but helped *plan* the January 6 insurrection.

You support him now at great peril.

The events of January 6 were more closely coordinated by the WH than we've been led to believe—from the Brian Jack-Mo Brooks call, to a dozen current/former Trump employees assisting the march, to Trump friend Jones saying the WH asked him to lead it and Roger Stone echoing that.
I'm honestly concerned that the Trump impeachment trial is happening too soon, not too late. I've become certain—based on the 800+ major-media stories I've compiled—that Trump didn't just incite the insurrection, but helped plan it. But investigators need more time to confirm it.
As ever, I'm only speaking on the basis of major-media reports—no nonsensical speculation. The picture that is coming together from such reports is that January 6 played out exactly as Trump and Giuliani intended it to, which is why the reports say Trump was so pleased about it.

(VIDEO) Alex Jones says the *White House coordinated the march on the Capitol*, including who'd lead it and where Trump would be during it. If true, Trump—who'd already been told by the Secret Service he couldn't go—lied to Jones to enhance the mob's size.
(NOTE) If you combine the above video with this one—in which Stone (a friend of Jones and a speaker, with Ali Alexander and Jones, at a January 5 rally) says "I was invited to lead a march to the Capitol [and] I declined"—it sounds like Trump was involved.
(NOTE2) I'm trying to think of who in the White House would be asking *Alex Jones and Roger Stone* to lead a march. The number of White House staffers who would consider that a good idea is *vanishingly* small—this had to have been a request either made by Trump or on his behalf.

Like Trump, Roger Stone promised the insurrectionists—before their attack on the Capitol—that he would be marching with them. In Stone's case, he made the promise the night of January 5. Does anyone have any info on where Stone was on *January 6*? Thanks in advance for your help.
NEW: Here is Stone (a) lying about what he said on January 5 (he did not explicitly insist on a peaceful protest), but also (b) making an *astonishing* claim that *mirrors* a claim made by Alex Jones: that he was "asked" to "lead" the march on the Capitol.
(PS) In the case of Jones, he implies the request came from the White House. We don't know where Stone's request came from. But we know Alex Jones—who isn't close to Trump—decided to *go*, and Stone (who *is* close to Trump) declined, as Trump did.

What did Trump and Stone know?
