(đ) MAJOR BREAKING NEWS: Team Trump Had a Second Pre-Insurrection War Room
A massive new front has just opened in the January 6 investigationâand 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-breakiâŚ
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 sitesâincluding Trump International and possibly the White House and VP's mansionâand 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 insurrectionistâRogan O'Handley, Ali Alexander, Alex Jones, Michael Flynnânow 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 lotâincluding 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 everythingâincluding 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*âper federal indictmentsâto 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:
1⣠Alex Jones and Roger Stone ran Stop the Steal with Alexander.
2⣠Stone was being guarded by Oath Keepers at the Willard.
3⣠If Jones's top lieutenant (Shroyer) was in the Trump ops room with Trump's lawyerâas I think I've now shown he wasâit'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?

The most sober, terrifying thing I can say as a Trump presidential historian is that what happened tonight was not about you, me, or America.
He's going to do what he's going to do based on how he convinces *himself* to do it.
Nothing else matters. He's not listening to anyone.
However it came to passâchildhood trauma, genetics, dementiaâthis US president is now functionally a psychopath. He lives in his own reality. He converses only with himself. All America is now downstream from a madman who's not listening to anyone or anything but his own madness.
The 25th was made for this moment.
It won't be used because Trump nominated cowards.
Impeachment was made for this moment.
It won't be used because America elected cowards.
The federal courts were made to stop this.
They won't because lifetime appointments reward cowardice.
I'm watching the Trump speech because I have to for my job and it's the most batshit crazy presidential speech I've ever heard in my nearly 50 years alive
Where it's coherentâwhich is only intermittentlyâit's on its face the largest tureen of turd soup any POTUS has ever served
I'm not in the first instance saying I don't understand how anyone could believe what the man is saying but rather how anyone could *understand* what he's trying to say
In the rare moments I think I understand what he's saying, it is the biggest most insane lie I have ever heard
What the President of the United States appears to be saying tonight is that our entire government is secretly run by China and has been for years and as far as evidence of that claim is concerned there really does not seem to be any whatsoever
(đ¨) PROOF EXCLUSIVE: Iâve published 1,500+ pages of bestsellers on the coup plot Trump is about to move to Stage 2. One-sentence or one-post summaries do it no justice.
1/ I understand that there are many people out there who say, OK, he is going to lie about election interference. He always does that. It is noise, not news.
These people (and their blitheness) are wrong, and wrong in a way that is going to be dangerous to the United States now.
2/ There is a reason many are demanding the Thursday speech not be televised. There is a reason many are saying it could be the most deranged presidential speech ever.
But in a way, *that* is the noise. It presumes that what matters is what he says, not what he is going to *do*.
If I'd told you that on the evening of July 4th on the nation's 250th birthday it would be 11:15PM, Trump would not yet have spoken, there would only be a few hundred people in attendance, and the event stage would be featuring a foreign opera, you would've had me committed
Whoa he just showed up and he looks absolutely livid at the tiny, low-energy crowd
Every time he strays from his milquetoast script it is either to make up lies about a Communist threat, babble repetitiously, or whine about how he has been treated
This crowd is so small I kid you not you can hear *individual people* cheering
(đ¨) So to be very clear, FIFA rules do *not* allow the USMNT to appeal the Balogun red card *on the basis of claiming the referee erred*.
But.
Under the circumstances, the USMNT should appeal on the very different grounds ESPN just reported on: misapplication of VAR protocols.
As ESPN explains, there's no doubt the card was issued on the basis of still images and slow-mo vids shown to the ref by VARâand we know this because the ref didn't think the play was even a *yellow* card in real time. But such evidence can't be sent to a ref *in this situation*.
So considering the situationâthe USMNT facing the biggest game in its history without its best player by far because of a red card almost the entire world agrees was absurdâit would be *scandalous* if the USMNT didn't at least *try* to appeal on the technical basis of VAR misuse.
It is not that the phrase Trump insisted be on new passports confirms that he doesn't know what a passport is.
It's that for a year not one person who works for him was willing to tell him so.
They will remain cowards when he declares martial law.
Donald Trump is a rabid dog. He has been a menace his whole life, assaulting and raping and defrauding with impunity. That is no longer news. What is news is that he is surrounded by an impenetrable cloud of cowardice. No one will stop him from the things he is about to do to us.
Because he's not just a rabid dog and a moral troglodyte but a knuckle-dragging moron, Trump told everyone around him to put a message on new passports that only makes sense if you've no idea what a passport is. No one stopped him. Not one corrected him.
