Good morning to everyone except the treasonous seditionists, coup-plotters, domestic terrorists, and fascists.

Did you know that Missouri AG @Eric_Schmitt’s loyalty to Trump means he supports 5 out of 5 of these things??

That’s not propaganda— here are the receipts:

🧵 /1

@AGEricSchmitt has pledged total loyalty to Trump and the #MAGA agenda, and has even intervened in his legal defense to show his unwavering support of Trump to the judges overseeing the prosecutions of his cases.

And Trump is guilty of all 5 offenses.

Let’s take a look /2

TREASON: Donald Trump attempted to overthrow the government, and gave aid and comfort to domestic enemies who participated on #Jan6.

Before, during, and after Jan 6, Trump conspired to coordinate with the insurrectionists and planners. /3

npr.org/2022/07/12/111…

Before the event, Donald Trump worked through Roger Stone and the Willard Hotel War Room to coordinate plans for that day, including plans for Trump to make a speech at the Capitol inviting the mob to invade. /4

He openly incited people to violence using heavily programmed messaging in a coordinated drumbeat of propaganda from himself and supporters like Lauren “Today is 1776” Boebert and crew. /5

Here’s a timeline of inciting statements Trump made in the many months leading up to Jan 6. /6

justsecurity.org/74138/inciteme…

Remember that incitement to imminent lawless action is not protected speech under the first amendment.

So after a year of propagandizing his followers into believing desperate action would be needed, he pulls the trigger JUST when things are “imminent.” /7

During the Jan 6 event, Trump went went to the Ellipse to deliver a rally-style speech in a final big act of incitement to imminent lawless action.

We know that BEFORE the speech, he was told that many in the crowd were armed. /8

esquire.com/news-politics/…

He didn’t care and again offered them aid and comfort, pushing his staff to let the armed mob past the metal detectors.

“I don’t f***ing care that they have weapons, they’re not here to hurt me. Take the f***ing mags away.”
/9

During the speech itself, he propagandized about the stolen election then, KNOWING THE MOB WAS ARMED, concluded by sending them to the Capitol saying:

“We fight like hell. And if you don't fight like hell, you're not going to have a country anymore” /10

npr.org/2021/02/10/966…

After the events of Jan 6, Trump and the entire Republican Party have openly provided aid and comfort to the insurrectionists— everything from paying for their legal defenses to @SenRonJohnson rewarding them w/ honor flags to visiting them in prison. /11

businessinsider.com/donald-trump-s…

And, we shall soon know, it is highly plausible that Trump sold or shared the most sensitive government secrets from his stash of stolen classified documents — possibly to Vladimir Putin, but maybe just to some random spy who got cozy at Mar-a-Lago /12

amp.theguardian.com/us-news/2022/a…

Take the unforgivable treason of Jan 6 or the stealing of our nation’s highest secrets— Trump betrayed his country.

@Eric_Schmitt KNOWS this. And he knows exactly what they’d say if it was Hillary or Obama who absconded with these documents.

They’d call for her execution. /13

But for Donald Trump, @AGEricSchmitt is joining his legal defense efforts, submitting briefs to the court saying Trump is above the law.

Traitorous Eric believes Trump deserves to be exalted, not punished, for his crimes against America. /14

washingtonpost.com/national-secur…

Not only is it blatant hypocrisy, it’s the literal selling out of America in a desperate bid to ensure his team of traitors goes unpunished, and voters don’t expel him the entire @GOP from American government. /15

Next? The above description of Trump’s actions surrounding his incitement of the insurrection on Jan 6 clearly meet the definition of SEDITION.

In fact, some of the defendants most involved are specifically being charged with seditious conspiracy. /16

reuters.com/legal/oath-kee…

The events of Jan 6, 2021 were an attempted COUP against the U.S. Government.

It was sudden and violent, and the goal was for rogue Senators and VP @Mike_Pence to seize power by falsifying slates of electors and stealing the vote of the people. /17

nytimes.com/2022/07/27/us/…

There is no way to describe the events of Jan 6 as anything other than DOMESTIC TERRORISM.

Capitol Police lost their lives. Pipe bombs were staged. Weapons were stashed around the city.

All to achieve a desired political election outcome. /18

And finally, had the events of Jan 6 succeeded, we’d be even further into our slippery slope into FASCISM.

We already know from Trump’s 2015 campaign that he promotes attacking protestors at his own rallies. /19

washingtonpost.com/news/post-poli…

But what’s worse, he did nothing when Turkish PM Erdogan’s allowed his thugs to viciously beat and hospitalize American protestors ***ON U.S. SOIL***

He often praised Erdogan. /20

theatlantic.com/politics/archi…

And at every rally, he fantasizes about his desire to expand use of the death penalty, though it’s clear he would play favorites for his loyalists.

So we’ve got the intimidation and violence part of FASCISM covered. /21

businessinsider.com/trump-calls-fo…

As for suppressing criticism and controlling industry, well… @AGEricSchmitt is actively trying to impose big government control of social media and tech giants so he can censor speech calling out treasonous Republicans he doesn’t want you to see. /22

@Eric_Schmitt and the @GOP claim that big tech is censoring Republicans, but really they’re enforcing their Terms of Service and censoring lawless planning and promotion of TREASON, SEDITION, COUPS, DOMESTIC TERRORISM, and FASCIST THREATS.

Are you starting to get it yet? /23

@Eric_Schmitt is supports lawlessness and the wholesale destruction of democracy.

It’s crystal clear what we’re up against.

Eric is a clear and present danger to democracy.

CODA: Turns out @Eric_Schmitt didn’t just support and defend the actions of #Jan6, he helped plan it.
