(🔒) NEW at PROOF: "Previously Unreported Insurrection Eve Video Confirms Stop the Steal Plot to Occupy the Capitol Long-Term Beginning on January 6"

There's no longer any serious doubt about what Team Trump's January 6 plan was. This video helps seal it. sethabramson.substack.com/p/new-previous…

1/ Across four extensive reports, PROOF has now established—beyond doubt—that the January 6 insurrectionists planned to storm *and occupy* the Capitol so that the joint session would be postponed long enough for Trump to send new slates of electors to Washington.

And Trump knew.

2/ And I'm not just referring to the paramilitaries at the Capitol on January 6: the Oath Keepers, the Proud Boys, the Three Percenters, the 1st Amendment Praetorians, and so on. The "Occupy the Capitol" plan depended on what Ali Alexander termed *civilian* "boots on the ground."

3/ By January 2, Trump had signed on to the plan in a conference call. By January 5, Alexander was ready to make the plan publicly known. By the night of January 5—as PROOF first reported months ago—the "occupy" plot was known even to rank-and-file far-right rioters at BLM Plaza.

4/ I began writing this article yesterday, with one of the key figures in it being Kimberly Fletcher of Moms for America. Shortly after I started writing, the House January 6 Committee announced that it had subpoenaed... Kimberly Fletcher of Moms for America. The Committee knows.

5/ The article above isn't the longer investigative report I've been working on for a while that will drop soon, though it's related: that article will underline that Trump's conspiracy is at the point of collapse and public revelation. The subpoena for Fletcher underlines this.

6/ Understand that what PROOF is reporting on now will be breaking news in about six months. Major media will suddenly announce that Trump and his team worked with civilians and paramilitaries to stage an occupation of the Capitol aimed at buying him time to produce new electors.

7/ If you want this reporting—fully sourced from reliable, named sources—now rather than in half a year, I hope you will check out PROOF. sethabramson.substack.com

PS/ Perhaps the most important thing about the January 6 plot that people do not seem to realize is that it is replicable—and *easily* so. If Trump loses in 2024, he will be certain that cabals of far-right state legislators have sent "Trump electors" from states he clearly lost.

PS2/ Trump lacked only two things on January 6: a VP willing to do his bidding—a mistake he *will not make again*—and sufficiently official alternate slates of electors from the battleground states he lost, which he and his team are literally in the midst of orchestrating *now*.

PS3/ But if, on January 6, 2025, Trump should need any sort of delay in the process to ensure he has his ducks in a row, the use of "irregulars" on January 6 of 2021 will be a model for how to storm and occupy a building. Except *this* time they won't fail to *hold* the building.

PS4/ It is against this backdrop that America learned, via recent breaking news, that a) the USCP has lost 130 officers since January 6, 2021, and b) it has implemented virtually none of the necessary reforms brought to its attention. This is an emergency. usatoday.com/story/news/pol…

PS5/ The "good" news: unlike Trump, Biden would call out the Guard to protect the Capitol as needed on January 6, 2025—and perhaps even have some prophylactic measures in place.

But now imagine how the Trumpists will react if they see soldiers defending a "stolen" 2024 election.

PS6/ When Steve Bannon repeatedly says that Trump must have "4,000 shock troops" ready to take over the government in 2025, he claims to mean public servants taking office following a Trump win. But that is not how the paramilitaries are taking his words—nor how he wants them to.

PS7/ Until America understands what January 6 *was*—not a pathetic attempt to seize a government but a canny attempt to *temporarily occupy one building* that nearly succeeded and *would have had profound consequences if it did*—we are all in danger of seeing our democracy end.

PS8/ So when we discover video of one of Trump's chief co-conspirators from his January 2 conference call confessing *on video* to the plan I just described—all but confirming that the GOP House members Alexander was briefing *also* knew of this plan—it's a very, very big deal.
