(🔐) BREAKING NEWS: New Evidence Emerges About Where Congresswoman Lauren Boebert Was in the Hours Before the January 6 Attack

I hope you'll subscribe, read, and RT. I think Boebert had a far bigger role in January 6 than even her biggest critics suspect. sethabramson.substack.com/p/breaking-new…

1/ I know this is a beast of an article. Dozens of links and an enormous amount of context. But I think it's impossible to understand the news we've just learned about Boebert without understanding her background, her activities in December 2020, and her January 5 work schedule.

2/ Because this—like many PROOF articles—is a feature-length article, it really needs to be read in full. There's info in even the final few grafs that in almost any other article could appear as a nut graf. As PROOF readers know, the articles are dense and reward multiple reads.

3/ Because I know members of the House January 6 Committee and staffers follow PROOF, I've been focusing for months on what I know the Committee is most focused upon: determining (a) all of the crucial pre-insurrection meetings, and (b) who attended them.

It's such crucial info.

4/ As a former criminal investigator and criminal defense lawyer, I know that you rarely get a smoking gun. Those who wait daily for the sudden revelation of something preposterous—like Boebert being the one who planted the pipe bombs!—are destined to be perpetually disappointed.

5/ When you're investigating a crime, the truly *big* discoveries—I mean among those that are realistic—involve simply finding out *who* was *where* and *when*. Even the *why* and *how* usually come later. But you start by figuring out the full list of who you need to speak with.

6/ In the January 6 investigation, the Holy Grail(s) of investigative discovery are finding out that a key figure attended a pre-insurrection planning meeting with either Trump, a Trump family member, or a top Trump agent.

Sometimes you actually get the meeting *location* first.

7/ Hopefully it goes without saying that in most criminal investigations, the guilty parties won't speak to law enforcement (or, if they do, they do what Trump's agents did with Mueller, per Mueller: lie, destroy evidence, delay, obstruct justice, synchronize stories and worse).

8/ So of *course* Lauren Boebert could put any big suspicions to rest by giving out her January 4, January 5, and January 6 schedules, telling the public who she met with when and why, agreeing to go under oath on all of this, and complying with any document demands or subpoenas.

9/ If you think it's suspicious when someone refuses to cooperate with law enforcement on even basic questions—well, you're right. It's suspicious. I'm telling you as a former criminal defense attorney and criminal investigator that it's suspicious. Boebert's acting suspiciously.

10/ Of course, "suspiciously" doesn't really cut it. As the PROOF article atop this thread details, Boebert's actions go beyond what we think of as "suspicious" in the criminal context and toward serious doubts about her positioning vis-a-vis past and/or future acts of sedition.

11/ So any evidence we find about what Boebert was doing on January 5—and with whom—is critical. A PROOF reader wrote in with as obscure a find as you could think of about where Boebert may have been for many hours on Insurrection Eve. And it dovetailed with prior PROOF research.

12/ We know that Lauren Boebert gave an interview to a far-right propaganda organ from the Capitol rotunda sometime during the day on January 5, apparently just before a two-hour GOP caucus meeting that ran from sometime between 12-1 to sometime between 3-4. But after that...

13/ ...she cancelled her whole schedule. And the people she cancelled on—and the events she bowed out of—were/involved Trump inner-circle figures.

She was one of 3 members of Congress slated to speak at a Stop the Steal event pre-1/6. We know where the other two were that night.

14/ This information lays *some* of the groundwork for the beast of an article that's atop this thread. I hope you will check it out. And I promise to continue tracking any and all new information about how Representative Lauren Boebert intersects with the January 6 insurrection.

PS/ The above aside, the intro to this article offers a *landslide* of data about Boebert's history that I suspect many readers don't know.

That data provides investigators with an absolutely critical character study re: what Boebert would have been willing to do on 1/5 and 1/6.
