(🔐) BREAKING NEWS: A January Lawsuit in Texas Appears to Be the Focus of a Seditious Conspiracy Involving Trump, His Lawyers and Political Aides, Texas Politicians, Stop the Steal, and the Capitol Attack

I hope you'll subscribe, read and RT. This is big. sethabramson.substack.com/p/breaking-new…

1/ It's difficult for me to write a comprehensive thread about this article because it pulls together so much major-media reporting—dozens of articles—as well as the BREAKING NEWS from yesterday reported by PROOF and now a subject of discussion on MSNBC. sethabramson.substack.com/p/breaking-new…

2/ It's also difficult because everything that's come out over the last 24 hours—as complex as it is—essentially confirms the reporting PROOF did in March 2021 indicating that the January 6 attack was designed to be a stalling tactic, not a perfected coup. sethabramson.substack.com/p/here-is-the-…

3/ Indeed, one of the insurrectionists' chief post-1/6 red herrings has been, "If we'd wanted to do a coup we would've..." (followed by bloodthirsty images of civil war; indeed, this red herring has the dual benefit of misstating what January 6 was and indulging their fantasies).

4/ But as PROOF reported in March, the plan of the insurrectionists was to *occupy* the Capitol—not permanently hold it, and certainly not to engage *themselves* in machinations that would install Trump as a dictator.

They well knew they just needed to *delay* the joint session.

5/ Since March, the only questions on this score have been a) what that delay was specifically expected to achieve, and b) whether Team Trump was coordinating with the insurrectionists to help achieve that delay (and thus, whatever aims Team Trump believed a delay made possible).

6/ These questions have now been answered, and it should come as little surprise that the man generally regarded as the least sophisticated intellect in the U.S. Congress—Louie Gohmert—is the one who appears to have given up the game. Gohmert said things he *shouldn't* have said.

7/ When Trump lawyer Sidney Powell revealed that she was working on a Supreme Court petition *her name didn't appear on*, that caught my attention. And when she noted who the chief petitioner was, that caught my attention as well. Those facts got lost in her confession yesterday.

8/ What this article does is bring together a *large* number of events that now make sense based upon Powell's confession—to include Oval Office meetings, conference calls, Newsmax interviews, legal filings, tweets by Congressmen, and much more. The picture that emerges is clear.

9/ What's now evident is that Donald Trump didn't call out the National Guard on January 6 *not* because he stupidly thought failing to do so would suddenly make him president—how could it? 800 people can't take over a country the size of the U.S.—but because he needed a *delay*.

10/ Trump, and a ring of co-conspirators whose names we now know, had a *specific* result in mind on January 6: getting the joint session of Congress delayed. He and his co-conspirators anticipated and wanted chaos at the Capitol—even violence—because it would ensure that delay.

11/ As to the possibility of death/massive destruction on January 6, Trump and his co-conspirators—whose names, again, are known and detailed at PROOF—were agnostic. They simply didn't care one way or another. As long as the joint session was delayed, that was all that mattered.

12/ I'm certain, as a former criminal defense attorney and former criminal investigator in the federal system, that what's described at PROOF—with full sourcing—is the theory of the case both the FBI and the House January 6 Committee will pursue. Read PROOF and you'll agree. /end
