(🔐) 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.

1/ A lot of people are asking me whether the lengthy report above—like I said, it is probably nearly book-length (and surely novella-length)—will address the allegations now floating around social media that the 2024 presidential election was stolen.
2/ Many of you probably do not know that I got my start in so-called bigtime national political journalism in 2004—bigtime, at least, in the sense that major media outlets (e.g. ROLLING STONE) covered my political journalism. At the time I was mostly focused on the 2004 election.
Just a quick note here in advance of Trump and Musk crashing the economy in 2025: Trump voters are going to blame Democrats for that too.
Read up on fascism and cults and stop assuming we have a rational electorate that’s actually looking at economic indicators. It simply isn’t.
If anyone is looking ahead to 2025 and thinking that when Donald Trump breaks things, kills people, ends alliances and treaties, and endangers all of us he’ll be blamed for it, think again. You can’t *imagine* the degree of pain he’ll need to cause people before they turn on him.
Trump is a proxy for issues in people and culture Democrats can’t resolve via politics. He is a fever that will either kill this country dead or bring it so close to death—and I mean spectacularly, painfully close to death—that the fever breaks. Democrats better learn that quick.
(🧵) ELECTION THREAD: I’ve been waiting all night to say anything substantive about what’s happened, as I felt—I still do—that I might say something I’d regret.
I hope you’ll consider following along as I try to process this with you all, and try to do it responsibly. Please RT.
1/ The New York Times gives Trump more a 90% chance of winning the election. Barring a miracle—and none is on the horizon at present—he will win.
And if by some miracle Harris won, it would be such a shock that it would almost certainly cause widespread Trumpist violence anyway.
2/ He isn’t just winning. At present this is shaping up to be a landslide. This is not Harris doing as Biden did. This is not Harris doing as Clinton did. This is Harris losing Texas by 15, Florida by 13, Iowa by 14, Ohio by 11...
(📢) MAJOR BREAKING NEWS: Donald Trump and MAGA's Kremlin Allies Planning Terrorist Attacks Inside the United States; Trump and MAGA's Support for Putin and Russia Remains Unaffected By Prospect of September 11th-Style Attacks Committed By Their America-Hating Political Partners
MORE/ Retweet this widely so that all Americans can understand that the Kremlin and Trump have exactly the same political agenda—to stoke not just figurative but actual chaos and mayhem across the United States. MAGA is an anti-American political movement. wsj.com/world/russia-p…
PS/ Here's what you *won't* see in light of the news of coming 9/11-style terror attacks committed by Putin, the Kremlin, and Russia: you won't see Trump distance himself from Putin, the Kremlin or Russia. You won't see MAGAs distance themselves from Putin, the Kremlin or Russia.
This is... maybe the most horrifying political ad I have ever seen.
Partly because of the content, partly because it's a reasonable portrayal of the world we are in and will be heading deeper into if we men don't vote in massive numbers for Kamala Harris.
I hesitated to post this, because it is so deeply upsetting.
But then I asked myself a simple question: is it accurate? Are women dying because of the decisions of Republican congressmen? And the answer is yes.
The answer is yes.
And *men* need to help put a stop to this evil.
F*ck—this ad made me cry.
As a husband, all I can think about is my wife. I can't imagine being in a situation like this and being utterly helpless. But there are now many men like me nationwide who are going through this.
(🧵) I don’t pretend to be an expert on women voters. I can only say what I see them saying on my social media feeds (1.2M+ followers): they don’t like that he’s a serial adulterer, serial sexual predator, and adjudicated rapist who wants to control their bodies and healthcare.
(🧵) They don’t like that he serially sexually harassed women on TV. They don’t like that he repeatedly cheated on Melania—Steve Bannon says with at least 100 women, including while Melania was pregnant—and hasn’t been faithful to any woman he’s been with. theweek.com/donald-trump/6…
(🧵) They don’t like how he said in 2016 that he thought women should be “punished” for getting an abortion. They don’t find him miming multiple sex acts with a microphone—this was yesterday—funny or charming. They don’t like the 28 Sexual Assault or Rape allegations against him.
