I'm writing a PROOF article that aims to summarize *everything* about 1/6. Every person responsible. How/why everything happened. So many details Substack might not let me put so many links in one piece. It's harder than I expected. Why didn't I realize it'd be near-impossible?
The seed of this article was an obscure interview I read that seems to explain exactly why 1/6 unfolded as it did and who was responsible. I've never seen it reported on elsewhere. It's like a key that unlocks January 6. I want to tell the story in one article and make it public.
A big part of being a criminal investigator or criminal defense attorney, both jobs I've had, is distinguishing good from bad evidence when the source is generally unreliable. We think good evidence always comes from reliable people. It just doesn't work that way, unfortunately.
I believe that certain interviews with insurrectionists hold the key to understanding why January 6 unfolded as it did. The difficulty is that these people are only being partially truthful, so the task is to separate wheat from chaff. Because the former is *incredibly* valuable.
Many people don't know that members of one of the five categories of potential January 6 defendants have publicly turned on the Trump campaign (another category of potential defendant) and accused it of causing the insurrection in ways that reliable evidence appears to *confirm*.

(ANNOUNCEMENT) PROOF now features as comprehensive a readable-length report on the January 6 insurrection as you'll find. I've minimized links to past PROOF reporting to avoid running afoul of Substack's memory limits.
▪️ Everything in this PROOF report is documented—with major-media sources—elsewhere at PROOF. If you have a subscription, you've probably seen it.
▪️ However—critically—there's also BREAKING NEWS in this report.
▪️ It involves the Trump campaign's involvement in the insurrection.
▪️ A major insurrectionist group—Stop the Steal—has turned on Trump's campaign.
▪️ The group's leader, now in hiding, claims Trump's campaign sabotaged plans for January 6 to make it more likely a riot would occur.
▪️ This remarkable claim appears to be supported by the evidence.

(PS) All of the initial reporting on this attack at the Capitol indicated that the attacker was white. There are indications now that that was inaccurate. mediaite.com/crime/breaking…
(NOTE) If Republicans don't understand that *every time* there's a domestic terror attack in DC going forward, the whole country will suspect it's a continuation of the domestic terror movement *still being run* by the head of the GOP, they're living in a goddamned fantasy world.
Three groups are responsible for January 6. So far just one is being dealt with by DOJ.
🟨 PARAMILITARIES: Proud Boys, Oath Keepers, Three Percenters
🟧 GRASSROOTS: Stop the Steal, Women for America First
🟥 TRUMP CAMPAIGN: Trumps, Guilfoyle, Pierson, Wren, et. al.
Stay tuned.
(PS) The well-sourced writing I'm working on now draws the connections between these three groups—which have started to turn on one another.
Unfortunately, even journalists who have been keeping up with the Proud Boys and Oath Keepers are flying blind on the other two groups.
(PS2) America needs to understand that we are in the *very* early stages of the prosecution of the *first* of *three* classes of GOP persons responsible for the insurrection. I'm impatient, so I plan to show at PROOF, with meticulous sourcing, where all this is headed eventually.
Just wait until anyone who understands math runs the correct numbers. At his current rate of growth, Greenwald will make $2.34 million in his first year—and well over double that his second year.
(PS) The reason Andreeson Horowitz did this is that—unlike many in journalism—they know how to calculate annual income from a growing (not static) concern. When journalists realize the annual income Greenwald is headed for, it will change the conversation. google.com/amp/s/mobile.r…
(PS2) The way the internet works is about to change fundamentally. Greenwald being well on his way to an eight-figure annual income is actually a far bigger signal of where we're headed than anything related to NFTs. I suspect that sometime soon journalists will write that story.
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.
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.
