(🔐) 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.

This is one of the most shameful days in US history.
A weak, corrupt, compromised Kremlinist US president recruited his Yarvinist VP to gang up on a heroic ally on live TV. It devolved into a shouting match. Why?
I mean it: that was one of the most distressing videos I’ve ever watched as an American.
Zelenskyy is the George Washington of Ukraine and one of the most heroic men alive. He sat through a shouted (televised) lecture by two of the _worst_ men alive.
A real-life *horror film*.
What happened today was a character litmus test.
If you watched those two weak-willed Kremlinists (Trump and Vance) and thought they were great, you’re a person of low moral character.
If it wasn’t *clear* to you who the hero in that room was—and how he was abused—shame on you.
I only went to Harvard Law and have three terminal graduate degrees, including a PhD, so I apologize if this is a question a drooling moron would ask, @yhbryankimiq, but is there a reason you do not list his accomplishments?
Is it because none are his—but those of his employees?
I know this is a difficult concept for Elongelicals, so let me use their favorite form of argument: anecdote.
I have 5 higher-ed degrees; I earned them all personally and in the shortest possible period of time.
Elon flamed out at three colleges and was *not* admitted to a PhD.
I’ve founded 4 startups: a consulting company and three media outlets, one a multimillion-dollar operation. I had no seed money for my startups but the little in my bank account.
Musk had money from his dad’s emerald mines and $300 million via Zip2—the idea for which wasn’t his.
As an Elon Musk biographer, I would peg his IQ as between 100 and 110. There’s zero evidence in his biography of anything higher.
And I want to repeat that now, lest you think it a typo.
There’s zero evidence, from his life history, of Musk having anything higher than a 110 IQ.
Stepped away from Twitter for a number of hours—on the basis of this not being a platform worth spending time on—and came back to find this tweet went viral because Nate Silver thinks Carlyle's 1800s theory of history, the Great Man Theory, is still relevant to historians in 2025
I understand the MAGAsphere runs on dudes who stayed at a Holiday Inn last night and are now expert astrophysicists, but another possibility is Musk's biographers know him better than fanboys do, and historians know more than pollsters about history.
I mean I'm just an American lawyer, so what do I know compared to a nepo baby whose money initially came from Zambian emerald mines, but under the United States Constitution and the thousands of Supreme Court decisions interpreting it for 250 years, free speech is *not* absolute
And I guess I would add to that, @ElonMusk, that if you don't know what I just said already, while you do not *have* to shut the f*** up under the First Amendment, you absolutely *should* shut the f*** up until you know what the f*** you're talking about, you *petulant man-child*
@elonmusk MAGAism is feelings over facts
All I ever hear Trump voters say is not what is true by law but what they think *should* be true, not actually how anything works but how they *wish* it would work
When you are poorly educated and know nothing, all you have is your Big Feelings
If you wonder why civil commitment statutes exist, the extremely dangerous derangement Musk is exhibiting publicly is why
He's now accused multiple federal agencies of being criminal operations, accused many federal officials of being criminals, and seems to believe he is POTUS
America is watching the mental collapse of the richest man on Earth in real time—and it's only a question of how many markets collapse, how many millions of people lose their jobs, and how many people die due to his actions before someone who cares about him tries to get him help
Clearly not one member of his family is willing to get off the gravy train to stand up to him and tell him that he needs to get off drugs, take a break from public life, and be hospitalized for a period of time
His employees know he is deranged but are obviously terrified of him
(Elon is throttling this feed. If you want anyone to see this new report, please RETWEET the post above.)
1/ One of the things that most surprised me about these revelations is how a number of them relate to the current nomination of Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and the support Elon Musk has for it. As well as the support he had for Kennedy becoming President of the United States.
