BREAKING NEWS: Sen. Mike Lee (R-UT) Unexpectedly Leaps Up From His Seat at Trump's Impeachment Trial and Tries to Testify in the Midst of the Trial; Unclear How Senate Will Deal With a Sitting Juror Violating His Juror's Oath and Making Himself a Witness
(PS) Lee successfully testified—he is now a witness. His testimony is now in the trial record. It's hard to see how he can be a juror now. He has just declared that the prosecution lied about his words and in so doing made himself a witness in a trial he wants to be a juror for.
(PS2) Keep in mind that Lee could have raised a motion without testifying. He was so angry that he couldn't help himself and therefore offered testimony.
(PS3) Mike Lee is absolutely furious. He is out of control. Wow.
(PS4) The one thing Mike Lee just successfully did was inject partisan rancor into a day of argument that was horrifying and focused on the joint purpose of patriots who love democracy. I'm not saying it was planned—but Trump's minions couldn't have planned it better if they had.

Tuberville denies being at Trump International on January 5 despite a photo putting him there.

Flynn denies being at Trump International on January 5 despite a photo putting him there.

Bossie denies being at Trump International that day despite an eyewitness putting him there.
Daniel Beck refuses to answer questions about the events of January 5, after saying he was at Trump International for a meeting of top Trump advisors.

Charles Herbster has posted, edited, deleted, and reposted a FB post in which he admits being at Trump International that night.
So doesn't it seem like the events of January 5 at Trump International are among the most important events for investigators to discover more about in *the history of the FBI*, and yet we've had *nothing* on it though Trump's trial ends *tomorrow*?

What—I guess I'd say—the f*ck?

(PROOF) I sure wish the House managers had put this information into evidence: sethabramson.substack.com/p/january-5-me…

(THREAD) Wow, @CJR and @lyzl. Why didn't you just ask me for proof of everything I told you? You thought I'd say things I didn't have proof of? What type of operation plans to question if someone is telling the truth, then doesn't ask them to provide the proof? Well, here we go: Image
(PS) I have maybe 50 2017 emails from Josh Meyer, Senior Investigative Reporter from POLITICO. Shall I post all of them? The details of our phone calls, in which he called me "one hell of an investigative reporter" and asked me to exclusively to provide my research to POLITICO?
(PS2) I declined, when Josh Meyer—Senior Investigative Reporter from POLITICO—told me his bosses wanted my research secretly, without my name on the articles even as a researcher. He told me POLITICO takes things from the internet all the time without credit, why not my work too?

Here's the other video of Alexander marching on January 6. In this light the coat looks black, so I'll correct myself and say Alexander appears to have been in one outfit, with—maybe—a sport coat beneath his jacket that he later appeared in, in a video taken far from the Capitol.
(PS) The important questions remain: 1) Why did Alexander leave the Capitol to film from far away (i.e. at what point did he decide to desert the march he organized and the Capitol stage he set up); 2) why does Jones say Trump is coming? Paul Escandon says Jones knew he wasn't.
(PS2) So Jones is consistent: he consistently says the White House told him Trump was going to the Capitol, from three days before January 6 all the way through 2PM on January 6. And Jones clearly believed the Stop the Steal stage is where Trump was headed. Paul Escandon demurs.

On Ali Alexander: everyone agrees—see any media outlet, or Alexander's own statements—Alexander is in hiding and his whereabouts unknown. The Fort-Worth Star Telegram said on February 2 that the FBI would neither confirm nor deny investigating Alexander. star-telegram.com/news/local/for…
(PS) The problem is that the FBI never confirms or denies investigations (unless it's Comey doing so as to to Hillary). Alexander himself claims to be the star witness of the events of January 6. So yes, that the FBI is looking for him is certain. The chance they aren't is zero.
(PS2) If I had a significantly dimmer view of the FBI than I do—and my view at this point is mixed—I suppose I'd entertain the possibility that the FBI does not want to speak to the star witness in its case. But I don't, and therefore I'm not going to indulge such ridiculousness.

Does anyone know if the man in the green circle is Ali Alexander?
(PS) I ask this because I *know* the below is Ali Alexander. If the above is also, it means Alexander changed clothes and hid his face to go to the Capitol. That'd be telling.
(PS2) I ask the question above earnestly. Alex Jones and Ali Alexander were supposed to speak at the front of the Capitol. Here's a picture of Jones at the front of the Capitol just feet away from someone who may be Alexander—I'm merely asking if anyone has seen a report on this.
