(🆚) MAJOR BREAKING NEWS: Team Trump Had a Second Pre-Insurrection War Room

A massive new front has just opened in the January 6 investigation—and right now it's exclusively at PROOF. I hope you'll subscribe, read, share this news, and follow this thread. sethabramson.substack.com/p/major-breaki…
1/ The importance of this breaking news can't be overstated. The discovery, by PROOF, of the first Insurrection Eve war room led to a confession by a US senator that he'd lied to the media; lawsuit threats from Roger Stone and Michael Flynn; and a congressional inquiry in Brazil.
2/ This second war room is *bigger* news because it was more clandestine, hosted more dubious figures, was apparently the nerve center for all other war room sites—including Trump International and possibly the White House and VP's mansion—and was closest to the insurrectionists.
3/ The number of questions answered by this revelation is too many to count. Roger Stone disappeared on the evening of January 5 and was invisible on January 6. Where was he? At the Willard. The location of the Jones-Flynn interview on January 5 is now revealed as... the Willard.
4/ Where were Bannon's lieutenants on January 5 and 6? The Willard. Where did the Oath Keepers congregate? The Willard. Where did Stop the Steal have its HQ? Apparently, the Willard. The list of insurrectionists who seem to have been and out of Trump's war room there is massive.
5/ The revelation of the Trump International war room led to dozens of follow-up stories at PROOF, and so will this revelation. Every key insurrectionist—Rogan O'Handley, Ali Alexander, Alex Jones, Michael Flynn—now must be cross-indexed with reporting of who was at the Willard.
6/ At the PROOF link above you'll find the full story of what's known about this second war room so far, and it's a lot—including major revelations I don't have the room to go into here, or else this would be another 100-tweet thread (and I recognize how exhausting those can be).
PS/ For those who've read the article, I'd appreciate your take on the "Shroyer Question." That could unlock everything—including Stop the Steal being co-operator of Trump's second war room. It'd make the Willard *the* key Team Trump-insurrectionist nexus for FBI investigators.
PS2/ I want to make sure everyone understands that the Willard is *already known*—per federal indictments—to have been the nerve center for the Oath Keepers. So now we know Trump's nerve center and the insurrectionists' nerve center was the same building. See where this is going?
PS3/ My view:

1⃣ Alex Jones and Roger Stone ran Stop the Steal with Alexander.
2⃣ Stone was being guarded by Oath Keepers at the Willard.
3⃣ If Jones's top lieutenant (Shroyer) was in the Trump ops room with Trump's lawyer—as I think I've now shown he was—it's a game-changer.
PS4/ Candidly, there are things in the *parentheticals* of this article that should be leading the news on CNN and MSNBC tonight. How about this nugget regarding domestic terror leader Ali Alexander? Image

I keep saying, as a Trump biographer, that this man holds deeply deranged beliefs—on almost every subject—he cannot be talked out of by experts, to the point that it can accurately be said that he lives in his own warped reality. 25th this man immediately. theguardian.com/us-news/2026/a…
Consider the implications here.

Biden knew that finding a cure for cancer was such a difficult task that it needs a whole-of-government initiative. He started one.

Trump secretly believes he knows the cure for cancer but everyone around him has to hide it because it's *insane*.
Now consider second-level implications. Trump is president of the United States and has the largest megaphone on Earth. Cancer is one of the biggest killers known to humankind. Trump thinks he knows the cure but won't discuss it with America. Why? Because he knows he's a grifter.

As to the Swalwell report:

1. The truth should be worked out via legal process.
2. Dems can't have anyone facing such allegations as a candidate.
3. MAGAs wouldn't care about this; that's immaterial.
4. Politics is informing how some folks are responding; that's also immaterial.
That is, it's possible to think in terms of three distinct spheres—legal, political, moral—at once. Legally, there's nothing to say till all this is resolved in court. Politically, we know that, true or false, allegations affect who's viable. Morally, MAGAs are hypocritical scum.
Who we believe is legally immaterial; it's posturing. We don't have all the facts. I'd say the same of any politician posturing morally now; don't confuse your cynical politics with morality.

But yes—Trump should have exited the race when he faced his *67* different allegations.

The torrent of lies coming from Karoline Leavitt right now is breathtaking
1 Iran has two navies; only one—the far smaller one—was destroyed
2 Half of Iran's launchers are intact
3 Iran held back its small air force—it wasn't destroyed
4 There's been no impact on Iran's nuclear capabilities
5 Only .3% of Iran's army was neutralized
6 The Strait is closed
7 There hasn't been regime change
8 U.S. casualties are over 800
9 There's no secret new 10-point Iranian peace plan, just the old one
10 Regular Iranian missile strikes continue
11 U.S. and Israeli interceptors arsenals are in a dire state
12 This war has wasted tens of billions

We're in Week 5 of Trump's 2-week non-war. If we give the non-war war 2-3 more weeks it'll wrap up "weeks" ahead of schedule. Trump destroyed 100% of the 1/3rd of Iran's Navy that's non-IRGC and 0.5% of Iran's Army—i.e. all of it. Its nuke program exists *and* doesn't. Questions?
Tonight Trump explained that Iran was an imminent threat to destroy Israel because it never came close to doing so in 47 years. He explained that this non-war war is technically his third non-war war with Iran, as he won the first one in early 2020 by not fighting it. Questions?
Iran is both 10 years away from developing a missile that can hit America and also would have done so 10 years in the *past* if Trump didn't kill a guy. We know Iran has had its regime decapitated because it has the same president today it had before the war started. Questions?

(1 of 2) This is inaccurate—and the truth is worse. She was already detained, and when Trump's pal heard that he contacted the White House to demanded she be deported so he'd get custody of their child. The White House complied.

I don't know what to call that, but it's criminal.
(2 of 2) But wait, it gets worse! The Trump pal demanding Trump execute a government action for his benefit has evidence on Trump's past sex crimes—which means that this situation reeks of both Bribery and Extortion.

The former is impeachable *and* criminal, the latter criminal.
MORE: Here's the full story. I know it means nothing to say this anymore, but just this one situation—as it apparently involves felonies, impeachable offenses, ripping a mother from her child, and the covering up of sex crimes—is a Watergate-level scandal.

It looks like we have to go over this YET AGAIN for all the corporate media journalists in the back: Markwayne Mullin was selected by Trump—as are ALL Trump peons—on the basis of him having no scruples and being willing to do as he's told.

EVERYTHING he's saying today is a lie.
America has gone through this dance too many times to go through it again. Stephen Miller and others craft narratives for nominees to deliver to Congress if they think those nominations are uncertain. The narratives have nothing to do with what the nominees are tasked with doing.
They can play this game because they know that corporate media in this era has decided to act as a stenographer for whatever any liars say rather than providing any context or counterweight whatsoever.

Everything Mullin is saying is contrary to everything we know his boss plans.
