146/ Aguilar is now focusing (using actual texts) on the altercation inside the presidential SUV on January 6—in which Trump attacked a Secret Service agent to try to get him to drive him (Trump) to the Capitol so he could personally lead an armed mob in storming the Capitol. — PolitiTweet.org
Seth Abramson @SethAbramson
145/ In fact we now have an explanation for the bizarre aside in Trump's January 6 speech about "letting people come up [closer to the stage]"—he was referring to domestic terrorists he knew were armed and wearing military-grade armor. He wanted them to be allowed into his crowd. — PolitiTweet.org
Seth Abramson @SethAbramson
144/ Aguilar also repeats something we heard at the last hearing (but it bears repeating): Trump *knew* about this Secret Service intelligence before he took the stage on January 6. He knew the crowd was armed; wanted them to march on the Capitol armed; and wanted to *lead* them. — PolitiTweet.org
Seth Abramson @SethAbramson
143/ Rep. Pete Aguilar (D-CA) is now presenting. He is showing more evidence gathered by the United States Secret Service on January 6—and is saying something we have never heard before: it is the view of the Committee that the USSS should have *stopped* Trump's January 6 rally. — PolitiTweet.org
Seth Abramson @SethAbramson
142/ The Committee's recess has now ended. We are back in session. — PolitiTweet.org
Seth Abramson @SethAbramson
141/ Obviously when this subpoena is issued, Trump will go nuclear on Truth Social and Fox News. So stay tuned for that, I guess. — PolitiTweet.org
Seth Abramson @SethAbramson
140/ Should this subpoena have come earlier? Yes. The HJ6C knew issuing a subpoena now means it won't have sufficient time to litigate it. But the Committee wanted to show America that it was going to *first* do all it could to marshal the evidence of what happened on January 6. — PolitiTweet.org
Seth Abramson @SethAbramson
139/ The Trump subpoena is a smart—and appropriate—move. He's a witness Congress must hear from, and whatever his response to it one thing will be clear: Donald Trump claims he did nothing wrong and has nothing to hide but *will not testify*. Because he knows he committed crimes. — PolitiTweet.org
Seth Abramson @SethAbramson
138/ The other thing we're told we'll see/hear after this 10-minute recess concludes is a historic video of the leaders of the House and Senate—Democratic and Republican—responding to the Capitol attack in real time on January 6. This should make for some truly stunning viewing. — PolitiTweet.org

137/ Yes, if he appears Trump would plead the Fifth, but a) that would be one of the most historic moments in U.S. history and b) it becomes impossible to understand how the man could win the presidency when he is on video implying the truth about January 6 would incriminate him. — PolitiTweet.org
Seth Abramson @SethAbramson
136/ DOJ will be in a position to bring Contempt charges against Trump for as long as Biden is president—so, through at *least* January 20, 2025—meaning that if there's a way to avoid having this subpoena be quashed, Trump (a private citizen) may *have* to appear before Congress. — PolitiTweet.org
Seth Abramson @SethAbramson
135/ But this also goes to the major PROOF report coming tomorrow (Friday), which will propose a way for the congressional investigation of January 6 to *continue* no matter *what* happens in November. And if the investigation continues, today's subpoena may become un-quashable. — PolitiTweet.org
Seth Abramson @SethAbramson
134/ Trump of course does not want to plead the Fifth Amendment, so this subpoena will go right to the courts and Trump will do all he can to delay any resolution of the issue until January 2023 or later—when the House GOP may be in a position to quash this duly issued subpoena. — PolitiTweet.org
Seth Abramson @SethAbramson
133/ Trump will of course fight this subpoena. And even if he showed up he'd plead the Fifth Amendment. But of course this will be tied up in federal court *more* than long enough for Republicans to take over the House first *if* American voters vote for insurrection in November. — PolitiTweet.org

Seth Abramson @SethAbramson
130/ These violent threats, many from late December 2020, came from TheDonald[.]win and Parler, among other far-right websites. Many of these threats involved Pence, and yet Trump's intel sources falsely contended in interagency communications that *there were no such threats*. — PolitiTweet.org
Seth Abramson @SethAbramson
129/ Much of what Schiff is showing are specific threats pre-January 6. I won't repeat them here, but just know that they're as vile and violent as you could possibly imagine. Despite all this, Trump's intel sources carefully *hid* the threats it knew about prior to January 6. — PolitiTweet.org
Seth Abramson @SethAbramson
128/ Still no mention of the Black Lives Matter Plaza riot the Proud Boys initiated on Insurrection Eve—even though federal agents were clearly aware of it and what it portended. PROOF has extensively covered this Insurrection Eve riot, including with pictures and video. — PolitiTweet.org
Seth Abramson @SethAbramson
127/ *Many* of the pre-attack arrests on January 6 involved *guns*. The USSS was aware that the crowd was heavily armed and would be going to the Capitol as soon as Trump was done inciting them. Rep. Schiff shows that there were similar arrests *on January 5*—Insurrection Eve. — PolitiTweet.org
Seth Abramson @SethAbramson
126/ Again we're hearing about Bobby Engel and Tony Ornato—Trump's closest confidants inside the USSS—having an *acute* awareness of how dangerous the situation was on January 6. Both men now have Trumpworld attorneys and appear to be unwilling to cooperate further with the HJ6C. — PolitiTweet.org
Seth Abramson @SethAbramson
125/ We are now seeing text after text after text from the United States Secret Service (USSS) confirming that it knew violence was coming well before January 6. It did nothing and appears to have told virtually no one—except Trump. — PolitiTweet.org
Seth Abramson @SethAbramson
124/ The question is whether the intel failures pre-January 6 were intentional—which they now appear to be. Both the USSS *and* Pentagon intel (run by Trump sycophant Ezra Cohen-Watnick) appear to have deliberately scuttled any public or even interagency warnings about January 6. — PolitiTweet.org
Seth Abramson @SethAbramson
123/ The sources the USSS and Trump saw at least ten days prior to January 6 specifically cited the "Proud Boys" having a plan to come into D.C. "armed" and "kill people" on January 6. This plan also specifically involved a plan to "occupy" Capitol Hill. — PolitiTweet.org
Seth Abramson @SethAbramson
122/ It now appears that USSS messages may have been deleted en masse in significant part because these messages prove Trump and his top Secret Service agents *knew in advance of January 6* that there was *almost certain* to be a "direct assault on the U.S. Capitol" on January 6. — PolitiTweet.org
Seth Abramson @SethAbramson
121/ Schiff now reveals that newly disclosed Secret Service messages reveal the Secret Service and Trump *knew* prior to his Ellipse speech that there was a strong possibility of violence at the Capitol January 6. Much of this evidence came in *days* before the January 6 attack. — PolitiTweet.org
