If you want to see the summer 2022 "breaking news" from CNN about a January 5 "war council" at Trump International Hotel that sealed a seditious conspiracy involving then-POTUS Trump, you can wait until next summer or read 40 articles about it now at PROOF Sethabramson.substack.com
PS/ I'm *very* sick of getting things right because I am a hard-working journalist, excellent researcher, and committed to the sort of metajournalism that U.S. journalism needs right now only to have someone else declare what I wrote "breaking news" six months to two years later.
PS2/ When—not if, *when*— the January 5 "war council" becomes major news, and it may be a week from now or 4 years from now for all I know, I'm *100% certain* it will be classified as "breaking news," and not a word will be said about the hundreds of hours I put into it at PROOF.
PS3/ Gotta log off. Very annoyed. I wanted intel on the COVID-19 timeline and Trump's actions to be available pre-election, so I put it on my feed and in my book and now here's CNN "breaking" the news 7 months later.

Read PROOF if you want next year's breaking news now, I guess.

Watch this special, then read the harrowing COVID-19 chapter of national bestseller Proof of Corruption (Macmillan, 2020)—a chapter drawn from hundreds of major-media sources—then decide if you think CNN should've given a platform to some of these people. cnn.com/2021/03/26/hea…

(MORE) CNN is now reporting as "breaking news" that the pandemic originated in Wuhan in September/October 2019.

Not breaking news: that critical information was included in Proof of Corruption—with proof—when it became a bestseller in September 2020. Media decided to ignore it.

(THREAD) Jair Bolsonaro—the so-called "Trump of the Tropics"—has killed hundreds of thousands with a COVID-19 denialism identical to Trump's. And his family appears to have conspired with Trump's in the insurrection. I'm making all PROOF articles on Brazil free. Read on for more.
(1) This was the first article at PROOF on Eduardo Bolsonaro's secret meetings with insurrectionists during a fake DC "vacation" from January 4 to January 8. Not only is the article free, I've made comments open to all for the first time in PROOF history. sethabramson.substack.com/p/brazils-murk…
(2) I want Brazilians to be able to tell their stories in the comments of the posts I'm making free with this thread. I'm hearing backchannel that the Senate inquiry PROOF helped launch in Brazil is news across Brazil, and that all this is happening at a time thousands are dying.

Folks, I need some crowdsourcing. I'm asking as many of you as possible to—as carefully as possible—confirm or deny my suspicion that the man over Donald Trump Jr.'s shoulder in the video still below, standing beside Kim Guilfoyle and looking at Trump, may be Charles W. Herbster.
(PS) I feel uncertain because of the hair and because I am struggling to find a picture of Herbster in which he is not smiling.
(PS2) Alternately, if it's not Herbster and you know who it is, let me know in the comments. This is part of a larger thing I'm working on, but I figured having a bunch of eyes on this couldn't hurt.

Our three-year-old rescue hound Scout is scheduling press availabilities to discuss her bracket selection process after picking—yesterday—all four of the Oral Roberts (#15 v. #2), North Texas (#13 v. #4), Oregon State (#12 v. #5) and Wisconsin (#9 v. UNC) upsets 😜 #MarchMadness ImageImage
For those whose missed the explanation earlier, Scout—a hound who was on her own in Alabama for a while before being rescued, and is therefore still a little feral—selected NCAA tournament winners by deciding which team mascot, in each head-to-head matchup, she would rather hunt.
(PS) Stay tuned: Scout picked {gulp} *both* Winthrop and Morehead State to win tonight. If she gets either one of those, I'm taking her to Vegas.

Just heard Juliette Kayyam say on CNN that so far the Capitol conspiracy cases have been weak, involved 1 to 3 people, and established only that some people conspired to meet "at the Trump rally."

Uh, no.

WSJ reports that 30 to 40 Oath Keepers plotted to murder all of Congress.
I think CNN doesn't understand how many hours of research one has to put into the events of January 6 to speak competently about them on-air. Kayyem is very smart and also very qualified. Those facts have nothing to do with whether she knows much about the January 6 insurrection.
One of the many problems we have with cable news today is that analysts are selected for their credentials and their general expertise rather than their research and their specific expertise.

So we end up with very smart people saying very stupid things on very important topics.

BREAKING NEWS: Cy Vance, the Manhattan DA leading the criminal investigation of Donald Trump in New York City, will not seek another term and will instead dump the case on his successor—a very bad sign. It's also (sadly) one I called a month ago, at PROOF. sethabramson.substack.com/p/some-say-the…
(MORE INFORMATION) We don't know who Vance's successor will be yet; what their commitment to this investigation will be; how long this will set the investigation back; or what threats—et cetera—occurred behind the scenes to provoke this. It's all bad news.
PS/ I continue to say that America has no mechanism to check the criminality of Donald Trump *unless* it's a whole-of-government commitment by federal law enforcement. Even then, it'd be the hardest and riskiest thing the FBI has ever done. They appear to have no appetite for it.
