120/ Now Rep. Adam Schiff (D-CA) is speaking. He is focusing on Donald Trump's prior knowledge that the January 6 crowd at the Ellipse—which he pseudo-spontaneously (in fact, *premeditatedly*) called to march on the U.S. Capitol—was in fact *heavily armed*. — PolitiTweet.org
Seth Abramson @SethAbramson
119/ Now we have a new text message from January 6 rally organizer Kylie Kremer showing that she knew *in advance* that Trump was going to pseudo-spontaneously call for a march on the Capitol on January 6—when in fact that coordination of the rally and the march was premeditated. — PolitiTweet.org
Seth Abramson @SethAbramson
118/ After Trump was told his and Eastman's plot was illegal, Trump attempted to coerce/threaten Pence into going along with his criminal conspiracy. Note that a federal judge has already formally held that it is "more likely than not" Trump and Eastman ran a criminal conspiracy. — PolitiTweet.org
Seth Abramson @SethAbramson
117/ Now we have video confirming that on January 4, 2021 Trump lawyer John Eastman told Trump and Mike Pence that his fake elector plot (which required Pence's involvement) was *illegal*—a violation of the Electoral Count Act. Trump knew this *pre-January 6*. — PolitiTweet.org
Seth Abramson @SethAbramson
116/ Rep. Murphy now links the "fake electors plot" to the plot Trump orchestrated to try to pressure VP Mike Pence into overturning the 2020 presidential election by accepting the fake electors Trump and Eastman had sought to orchestrate over a range of key battleground states. — PolitiTweet.org
Seth Abramson @SethAbramson
115/ Now Rep. Stephanie Murphy (D-FL) is detailing the involvement of Donald Trump, John Eastman, and Ronna McDaniel in attempts to coordinate "fake electors" (a federal crime) who would falsely "certify" Trump as the 2020 election winner in *every battleground state Trump lost*. — PolitiTweet.org
Seth Abramson @SethAbramson
114/ The HJ6C continues to erroneously say that the appointment of Clark as AG did not happen. This is incorrect—it *did* happen. On Sunday, January 3. It's simply that Trump *countermanded* his appointment the next day—Monday, January 4—after strong DOJ pushback to his conduct. — PolitiTweet.org
Seth Abramson @SethAbramson
113/ Rep. Luria is now summarizing Donald Trump's coup plot inside the DOJ: to install Jeffrey Clark as AG because he had promised to falsely declare that the election in Georgia had been fraudulent. Trump and Clark both knew such a DOJ representation would itself be fraudulent. — PolitiTweet.org
Seth Abramson @SethAbramson
112/ Now we are listening to Trump threatening Sec. Raffensperger with criminal indictment if he doesn't engage in corrupt political conduct. Immediately after, Mark Meadows said to his assistant Cassidy Hutchinson, "He knows he lost, Cass." (Per Hutchinson depo shown just now.) — PolitiTweet.org
Seth Abramson @SethAbramson
111/ We're hearing the infamous "I just want to find 11,780 votes...Look, we need only 11,000 votes...fellas, I need 11,000 votes" phone call between Trump and Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger. Trump had already been told that there was no election fraud in Georgia. — PolitiTweet.org
Seth Abramson @SethAbramson
110/ Now Rep. Luria is switching to Trump's efforts to pressure "numerous states' officials" to take corrupt official actions to ensure Biden's win would be overturned. — PolitiTweet.org
Seth Abramson @SethAbramson
109/ Any jury would convict Trump of federal conspiracy charges on the evidence we are seeing right now. Any jury. — PolitiTweet.org
Seth Abramson @SethAbramson
108/ Repeatedly—videos now show—Trump would be told that a *specific false claim of election fraud* was false and had been fully debunked, and then Trump would go out in public and repeat the very claim he had just been told was false. He’d say anything that would incite people. — PolitiTweet.org

Seth Abramson @SethAbramson
107/ Now Rep. Elaine Luria (D-VA) is making a presentation. She says Trump was "personally and directly" involved in every component of the "plan" to try to overturn the 2020 presidential election using means he knew were contrary to the rule of law. — PolitiTweet.org
Seth Abramson @SethAbramson
106/ To be clear, Donald Trump was being told by all his experts and senior staff and lawyers and DOJ agents that *the election was over* in mid-December 2020—*weeks* before January 6. He had been told he had no legal options left, meaning he knew he would have to act unlawfully. — PolitiTweet.org
Seth Abramson @SethAbramson
105/ Now we have a litany of video depos (e.g., Deere, Barr) of top Trump advisers telling him that after his final bid to get before the Supreme Court was unsuccessful, his efforts to win the election were *over*. This was *pre-January 6*. — PolitiTweet.org
Seth Abramson @SethAbramson
104/ That new bit of testimony by Hutchinson is absolutely stunning, and qualifies as BREAKING NEWS. Read Tweet #103 again—it establishes "mens rea" (a criminal mental state) for several federal criminal offenses committed by Trump. — PolitiTweet.org
Seth Abramson @SethAbramson
103/ CASSIDY HUTCHINSON: "[Trump said] I don't want people to know we lost [the election], Mark [i.e., Mark Meadows]. This is embarrassing. Fix it." — PolitiTweet.org
Seth Abramson @SethAbramson
102/ A new Secret Service email is now revealed showing Trump was "pissed" and "livid" when he lost his last bid to have SCOTUS take up his cause, as—according to aides—Trump appeared to know that this was his last *legal* avenue to challenge his loss. This was *pre-January 6*. — PolitiTweet.org
Seth Abramson @SethAbramson
101/ One court even told Trump and his lawyers that not only did they have no "proof," they didn't even have "specific allegations." Courts repeatedly told Trump and his team that they were losing *on the merits*—*not* simply as a matter of procedure. (Trump has lied about this). — PolitiTweet.org
Seth Abramson @SethAbramson
100/ Rep. Kinzinger notes that Trump’s record in court post-election was 1-61, with the 1 win (of 62 cases) having no impact on the election results whatsoever. — PolitiTweet.org
Seth Abramson @SethAbramson
99/ Now we are getting tons of video of top Trump advisers (e.g., Bill Stepien) saying they told Trump and Meadows the supposed evidence of "fraud" in the 2020 presidential election was *bunk*—absolutely worthless and nothing that would change the result of the election one iota. — PolitiTweet.org
Seth Abramson @SethAbramson
98/ Much discussion now of the so-called MacGregor Order—which Trump personally signed, after it was handed to him by John McEntee, while still in office—covered in full in PROOF OF COUP: HOW THE PENTAGON SHAPED AN INSURRECTION (2022). It called for a full Afghanistan withdrawal. — PolitiTweet.org

Seth Abramson @SethAbramson
97/ One order Trump gave pre-January 20 was an order for a *full withdrawal of all U.S. troops from Afghanistan*—an action Joe Biden took, and which Republicans now want to (amazingly!) *impeach* Biden over. This was already fully covered in PROOF OF COUP: https://t.co/AaPGLyyjRV — PolitiTweet.org
Seth Abramson @SethAbramson
96/ Now we have testimony from *many* Trump aides—Farah, Hutchinson, and others—that after the election Trump privately *acknowledged* to aides that he knew he had lost. Trump even began issuing policy orders that he knew he had to rush on because he *knew* he was leaving office. — PolitiTweet.org
Seth Abramson @SethAbramson
95/ Kinzinger focuses on Trump being told on election night that he’d lost, and was told in advance of election night he’d likely lose (which is of course what happened, by 7+ million votes). He was also told, Jason Miller says, that election challenges were unlikely to succeed. — PolitiTweet.org
