(🔐) BREAKING NEWS: Three Obscure Pre-Insurrection Meetings Require Immediate Congressional Investigation

No matter how much you think you know about January 6, you probably haven't heard about these critical events. I hope you'll subscribe, read, and RT. sethabramson.substack.com/p/breaking-new…
1/ I chafe when Democrats repeat their self-contradictory mantra on the insurrection, which somehow includes *both* the line "We know what happened on January 6" (half-right) *and* "We have to find out what happened on January 6" (half-right). This article underlines the problem.
2/ In the article's Introduction, I recap the *15* meetings that preceded the attack on the Capitol that are absolutely *essential* to any investigation of "what happened on January 6." Virtually all these meetings *preceded* January 6. The fact is, there is *much* we don't know.
3/ But the three meetings discussed in the article proper are *not* among those 15. PROOF, which has published more articles on pre-insurrection meetings than any other U.S. publication has, has *never* written about these three meetings before. They're almost entirely unknown.
4/ What they *aren't* is unimportant.

A pre-insurrection parking-garage meeting between the two domestic terrorists whose paramilitary organizations spearheaded the Capitol attack?

That's...pretty damn important. And I didn't need to be a former federal investigator to know it.
5/ A major national address by the sitting President of the United States to GOP legislators in every battleground state just 96 hours before the insurrection—on the subject of overturning the will of American voters? You'd think that topic would be on everyone's lips.

It isn't.
6/ A large GOP Congressional caucus contingent secretly meeting with insurrectionists—men advocating for Trump to impose martial law and seize control of overturning America's 2020 election via federal troops—a day before the Capitol attack? You'd *think* CNN would cover it.

No.
PS/ We know now that 100+ CNN employees follow this feed (the link below says 93 only because I haven't yet added 10+ more names my research revealed; I was too busy writing this article!) It's time for major media to stop its bloviating and report *news*. sethabramson.substack.com/p/proof-some-n…
PS2/ CNN, MSNBC, and other major media outlets could *easily* spend a *day* reporting on *each* of the 18 pre-insurrection meetings PROOF uncovered and wrote about at length using reliable sources—including, usually, eyewitnesses. Instead, we get talking heads.

It *has* to stop.
PS3/ I'd be amazed if anyone read the well-sourced article above and didn't say, "WTF? Why haven't I seen this on TV?"

That's a question I can't answer. Hopefully some of the thousands of journalists who follow this feed can (see the link above and this): sethabramson.substack.com/p/proof-some-n…
PS4/ As ever, PROOF owes a debt of gratitude to its readers for complementing the work PROOF has already done with an amazing volume of absolutely stunning research. A good deal of this content would have been impossible without that assistance.

BREAKING NEWS: In late 2016, I wrote at length about the True Pundit Hoax—an effort by Rudy Giuliani, Erik Prince and Michael Flynn to coerce the FBI into reopening Clinton's email case via lies about FBI leaks. Over 4.5 years later, DOJ confirms the hoax. thedailybeast.com/rudy-giuliani-…
(PS) The columns I wrote on this were at HuffPost, where I was a columnist in 2016. I was—of course—called a conspiracy theorist for saying Trump's inner circle had concocted and spread a lie nationally days before an election to try to exert pressure on the FBI. But I was right.
(PS2) The question now is why it took nearly five years for the DOJ IG to confirm that Giuliani and others in a presidential candidate's inner circle conspired to commit election fraud days before an election. An even bigger question is why no one's being held accountable for it.

Based on the press conference I just heard, Andrew Cuomo must resign as Governor of New York and criminal charges should be seriously considered. The powerful must be treated the same as everyone else under the law, and that certainly includes statutes relating to sexual assault.
I find it to be *absolutely effortless* to hold Democrats to the same standard under our rule of law that I would hold Republicans.

It doesn't trouble me at all to say that a wrongdoer like Cuomo should resign.

Why do Republicans find it impossible to have consistent standards?
When Republicans do wrong, it's *literally impossible* to get GOP voters—at least on social media—to put politics aside and uphold the rule of law.

By comparison, when a Democrat does wrong I find that more than 70% of my readers are perfectly happy to see them held accountable.

(🔐) BREAKING NEWS: Trump Adviser Roger Stone Was Closely Attended By a Leading Proud Boy Just Before a Proud Boy Arson, a Proud Boy Riot, and the Proud Boys' Capitol Attack

This article covers a ton of new ground—I hope you'll subscribe, read, and share. sethabramson.substack.com/p/breaking-new…
1/ Trumpist forces attacked government forces at Black Lives Matter Plaza on January 5. This battle remains unreported by media—though it was actually the beginning of the insurrection, and by the morning of January 6 everyone knew about it. The attack began at the Willard Hotel.
2/ Roger Stone has carefully hidden, and lied about, who he was with on January 5 and January 6. PROOF previously catalogued every Stone lie, and outlined what they hid and why. It's now clear Stone associates within the Proud Boys and InfoWars knew—as did Stone—what was coming.

These insurrectionists should already have been subjected to document preservation demands, subpoenas for documents and testimony, interrogations, seizures of digital equipment, Congressional questioning and more. Because nothing has been done, they get to do TV stunts like this.
It's essential that we no longer view these individuals as mere politicians. They're part of an active domestic insurgency that they perpetually incite with both their actions and words behind the scenes and their actions and words in public. They aim to overthrow our government.
This preposterous stunt is in many respects far more sinister than it seems. These are high-profile leaders of a domestic insurgency storming the federal facility where the domestic terrorists they lead are being held—and filming the storming to incite other domestic terrorists.

This is how far behind most of the country is: the picture below has gone viral today as Americans "discover" that all of Trumpworld knew violence was coming January 6. The investigation of January 6 by independent journalists has moved so far beyond "What did Steve Bannon know?"
Prior to January 6, Trump was provided with a security assessment for the Capitol by the Secret Service, per Reuters. Bannon was Trump's top political advisor post-election according to numerous media outlets. His minions Stockton and Lawrence were working with the Oath Keepers.
Every attendee at a Trump "war room" event on January 5 either fled the city or fled the Capitol area either before Trump's speech or just after it. None went to the Capitol. The reason is that all of Trump's inner circle knew violence was coming. And that includes Trump himself.
