(🔐) NEW: The Coming Collapse of Trump’s January 6 Conspiracy, Part 3: Corey Lewandowski

You don't want to miss this—it's a wild ride that ends with maybe the most useful witness the House January 6 Committee could subpoena now. I hope you'll read and RT. sethabramson.substack.com/p/new-the-comi…
1/ I think this is about a 30-minute read or so. It's one of those slow boilers that simultaneously has individual sentences within it—including early on—that are absolutely critical and shocking but also easy to miss. This happens when one is curating *many* major-media sources.
2/ This article is on a forgotten man in Trumpworld, who may in fact have hit a "trifecta" on Insurrection Eve. On that day he did something I think no other Trumpist—including Giuliani—did. He seems to have been in all three of the White House, the Capitol, and a Trump war room.
3/ The reason you don't hear about Corey Lewandowski much anymore is outlined in full in the article—and it creates a sense that Congress and perhaps even DOJ are wrongfully using where people are positioned *now* in Trumpworld as a guide to where they were positioned a year ago.
4/ This report also connects to the most widely read article ever published by PROOF (or should I say "a series of articles"): on the biggest, most influential "war room" the Trumpists were operating on January 5, which media *will not report on*. It's not the one at the Willard.
5/ That's right, Lewandowski is getting ignored for the same reason Charles Herbster is, Peter Navarro is, Donald Trump Jr. is, Mike Flynn is, Eduardo Bolsonaro is, and on and on and on: because they weren't in the war room Bob Woodward reported on, they were in the *other* one.
6/ It's time for America to talk about Trump International Hotel. No—not just talk about it, obsess over it to a degree exponentially greater than even the obsession the media has with the Willard Hotel Insurrection Eve war room (which was actually a network of onsite war rooms).
7/ Here is my recent "thread of threads" on the Trump International Hotel room, which I posted on Twitter on January 6 (2022).
8/ In short, all the big names central to the plotting of the "Green Bay Sweep" were at Trump International—not the Willard—on January 5. And that includes (via phone) Ali Alexander, who I will argue in Part 4 of the ongoing "Coming Collapse" series is the linchpin to everything.
PS/ Thanks in advance to those who retweet the first tweet in this thread. Because the thread contains my "Trump International Hotel War Room Thread"—which is almost all free articles—I'd love for as many folks as possible to see it. TIH *has* to become a topic of discussion now.
NOTE/ One of the reasons the PROOF community is so amazing is that beneath many an article they’ve contributed new info that was jaw-dropping and required additional text be added to what I'd written. A reader has just sent a *key* photo that I will write about (in situ) shortly.

I shouldn't even have to say this, but precisely *no one* in the independent journalism sphere is saying that Trump can *legally* cancel the midterms.

So corporate media should put on its thinking cap and ask themselves what independent journalists *are* saying.

Yes.... *that*.
It's Month 1 of a 10-month plan and they're already illegally invading countries, illegally occupying U.S. cities, posting Nazi memes from government accounts almost daily, and publicly saying there should be no elections anymore. You think their plan is to do *anything* legally?
So I've no idea why corporate media keeps sanctimoniously reminding us of something we already know—that Trump can't *legally* cancel elections. Because that's not where the debate or mystery is now. The question is whether he thinks he can wait until 2028 to declare martial law.

The question media should be asking: if Minneapolis only needs 600 police officers to perform all general law enforcement activities in the city, why did Trump send 3,000 federal agents to execute a statutorily and constitutionally *much* smaller task?

Answer? He wanted a *war*.
Based on the size of the task and authority ICE actually has—merely executing judicial warrants for already-identified undocumented persons—we'd expect an ICE "surge" in Minneapolis to be about 100 agents.

Trump sent *30 times that*.

Because he wants to declare an insurrection.
So if you're an American paying only small attention to Minneapolis and wondering why things are crazy there, imagine *your* town being the target of an *unprecedented* federal op.

Big deal, right?

Now imagine the feds sending *30 times* too many men—most *virtually untrained*.

(🧵) THREAD: There’s no purpose in debating Trump supporters on Venezuela. They lack the background to participate in a coherent conversation. Do they know Trump is backing a socialist despot over a capitalist who won the 2024 election by 34 points? No.

It gets worse from there.
1/ People without principles, like MAGAs, desperately alight on random anecdotes to try to “prove” points—as they don’t know how to *actually* prove a point, make an argument, hold a consistent position, marshal evidence, or maintain logical throughlines across diverse scenarios.
2/ So for instance, they’ll tell you that the justness of what Trump did is “proven” by how some Venezuelans reacted to it. But these are the same folks whose political ideology has long been grounded in denying international law and the sovereignty or interests of other nations.

This is the tip of the iceberg.

As detailed in 2020 bestseller Proof of Corruption, Trump used Erik Prince, Rudy Giuliani and a megadonor to launch clandestine negotiations in Venezuela that would've effectuated some version of the deal. America is being lied to every which way. Image
What the NYT-bestselling Proof Series has shown—across 2,500 pages and over 15,000 reliable major media citations from around the world—is that what we think of as many different scandals is *one* scandal: the Trump-Russia Scandal. Ukraine, Israel, KSA, Venezuela... even Epstein.
The Trump-Russia Scandal, as a research topic, is so vast—it covers so many continents, decades, and scandals in various nations—that we can analogize being a scholar of it to being a scholar of the Cold War or the Gilded Age.

We keep speaking of trees without seeing the forest.

So blowing up the dead body of the man Trump deliriously claims stole the 2020 presidential election from him was part of a *law enforcement operation* targeting an entirely different leader? Pull the other leg now.
en.apa.az/america/us-str…
It was almost exactly six years ago that Trump told us he thirsted to destroy key foreign cultural sites just to desecrate them and was told in reply—unambiguously—that this was a war crime.

Today he apparently bombed a culturally significant *mausoleum*. bbc.com/news/world-mid…
Corporate media appears to be under-reporting or not reporting the mausoleum strike—a media victory for Trump because it at once hides a war crime, hides a fact that debunks Trump’s claims of this being a law enforcement op, and hides a key Venezuelan justification for vengeance.

This anodyne BS is how the NYT summarizes the most corrupt presidency in US history.

Trump said he didn't know what Project 2025 was; he lied.

He said he would get prices down; he lied.

He said he'd only deport criminals; he lied.

He started wars and attacked his own people. Image
He destroyed the White House. He took bribes. He pardoned monsters. He grifted taxpayers and investors out of billions. He covered up pedophilia. He committed war crimes. He enabled genocide. He savaged federal agencies. He engaged in stochastic terrorism. He simped for the rich.
He cut off student loan forgiveness. He did special business favors for the CCP. He destroyed small farms. His tariffs constituted the largest tax increase on Americans in decades. He told thousands of lies in public. He hid major medical issues. He spread racist disinformation.
