(BOOK EXCERPT) Trump is lying about supporting sending Javelin missiles to Ukraine in 2018. I can’t abide this, as I wrote the most comprehensive account of that sale in print. I’m releasing the uncorrected proof of that part of PROOF OF CORRUPTION in this thread. Please RETWEET. Image

PS/ This isn’t the only text on the Javelins in the 576 pages of PROOF OF CORRUPTION, but it’s the primary one.

(Note: I don’t get money from sales of the book, as my advance far exceeded earnings. I link to it here only because I want people to read it.) amazon.com/Proof-Corrupti…
PS2/ For those counting at home, the 2018 episode marks the *third* time Trump screwed with military aid to Ukraine for personal gain: 2016, 2018, and 2019.

In *each* case he fought doing *anything at all* for Ukraine—and relented only when he saw a clandestine personal benefit.
PS3/ As noted, I am releasing uncorrected proofs here—something I would never do outside the current global emergency—so that’s what the yellow flags are (i.e., copy editor’s notes).

Needless to say, the final version in the book is fully corrected and has no yellow notations(!)
PS4/ I also want to note that the Javelin scandal Trump was at the heart of stretched from 2017 to 2018—so in fact Trump was engaged in *withholding key aid* to Ukraine in *every single year* from 2016 through 2019, with him relenting in 2020 only after he was *impeached* for it.
PS5/ Never—*ever*—believe that Trump aided Ukraine in *any way* during his presidency. On those few occasions he allowed military aid to flow, it was (a) following a clandestine shakedown that benefited him personally, and (b) included strings attached intended to *please Putin*.
MORE/ In the event you missed it yesterday, I published a thread (see below) that includes much of PROOF OF CORRUPTION for free: the Introduction; half the Epilogue; the first 4 chapters; and links to key excerpts from 12 other chapters (the book has 44).
MORE/ As a reader notes, Trump also did nothing in 2018 to ensure the INF remained in place. Indeed one of the reasons Trump hired Bolton—whose view of Iraq Trump detested—was Bolton’s views on *Europe*. Here’s an excerpt from what an expert told Stanford: news.stanford.edu/2019/02/01/u-s… Image

I just woke up from a long nap, can someone tell me if Trump has already apologized to the nation for falsely blaming the Kirk assassination on the left when—as with both his assassination attempts and 85% of political violence this century per the data—it was a far-right nutjob?
He is a Groyper. The Groypers are a far-right, neo-Nazi cult made up of young far-right males who thought Kirk was insufficiently far-right. thedailybeast.com/charlie-kirk-s…

Bomb threats against the Maryland General Assembly. Bomb threats against the Michigan lieutenant governor and his family. Bomb threats against 5 HBCUs. Two arrests for violent assaults in Idaho.

In 24 hours.

All Democratic/left-leaning victims.

All suspected MAGA perpetrators.
And that wasn't a full list—not even close.

Bomb threat against the Rhode Island Senate President. Bomb threat against the Rhode Island Majority Leader. Bomb threat against the New Mexico Senate Majority Leader. Once again all Democratic victims, all suspected MAGA perpetrators.
There's no reason to have a conversation about political violence based in rhetoric rather than data.

I don't need to note that every bomb threat on Election Day in 2024 was a MAGA bomb threat.

I don't need to mention January 6, Paul Pelosi, or the two dead Minnesota Democrats. Image

There was significantly less political violence in America before the 2016 presidential campaign. We all know why.

That doesn’t change that what happened today—in both Utah and Colorado—were tragedies.

It just underscores that revisionist history won’t solve America's problems.
Donald Trump transformed politics into an ultraviolent Thunderdome.

He did it for his own advancement, and he didn’t care what the consequences would be.

It’s *also* true that since Trump poisoned our politics there’s been violence from both Left and Right, though mostly Right.
Both Trump assassination plots I condemned immediately and unreservedly. Both would-be assassins were Republicans. The assassin who killed Minnesota’s Speaker was also Republican. So was the man who plotted to kill Pelosi. But there have been leftist assassins too. I condemn all.

There's no lie Elon Musk and his racist friends won't tell to try to hurt nonwhites—or even, I fear, to try to get deranged others to *literally* hurt nonwhites.

And we know these racists want to cause pain because a two-second Grok search would destroy every one of their lies. Image
Image
If you read the comments on Musk's racist post, it's person after person after person absolutely convinced that Muslims never migrate to other Muslim countries but only come to Europe or America and only do so as part of some sort of invasion. These folks are touched in the head.
The history of human migration, by whatever group—of whatever race or ethnicity or religion—is that sometimes migrants are looking for a very similar place, sometimes a slightly different place, sometimes a very different place.

That has been human nature for thousands of years.

(🧵) Major media should be ashamed.

The manifesto of the Minnesota shooter has been translated—and it's all about his hatred of Jews, Blacks, Mexicans, illegal immigrants, Somalis... none of this had to do with him being trans and major media *knows* it.

So why won't it say so?
1/ The manifesto uses the most vile slurs imaginable to describe Jews and Blacks, groups MAGA is hostile to.

The manifesto uses the most vile rhetoric imaginable to speak of illegal immigrants, another group Maga is hostile to.

And it uses 4chan-speak. 4chan is a MAGA hotbed.
2/ Everyone in America knows at this point that MAGA is a fascist movement and that the first group it wants to start treating like the Nazis did Jews are transgender persons. So the second the possibility the shooter was trans arose, all of us should have apprehended the danger.

(🚨) The seventh book in the NYT-bestselling Proof Series is PROOF OF DEVILRY: THE CRIMES OF DONALD TRUMP, GHISLAINE MAXWELL, AND JEFFREY EPSTEIN.

It’s so large—a 600-page epic—that it’s being released in three parts (on 8/17, 8/24, and 8/31).

Book One: sethabramson.substack.com/p/part-1-proof…Image
1/ I recognize that I often say this when I am speaking of extremely deep-dive curatorial research into Trump and two discrete topics—Jeffrey Epstein and January 6—but it is true: what is in this book will shock you even if you believe you cannot be shocked on these topics.
2/ I want to issue a warning to those with sensitivities surrounding the subject of sex crimes and pedophilia. It is almost certain that this epic work will be triggering for you so, do read with caution or decide whether it even makes sense for you to read this at all.
