40/ Anything we see in these emails today—and what we see may be shocking—is still likely *less* shocking than the evidence the Trumpists were able to destroy. But if the destruction isn’t investigated, those who did it can’t be leaned on to tell the truth of what they destroyed. — PolitiTweet.org
Seth Abramson @SethAbramson
39/ The USSS emails we see today will obscure the fact that exponentially *more* were destroyed by Trump’s co-conspirators and other allies—a destruction then intermittently covered up and incompetently investigated by the DHS IG. So who’ll investigate this massive cover-up, now? — PolitiTweet.org
Seth Abramson @SethAbramson
38/ These critical emails—which are said to underscore and corroborate past (historically shocking) testimony confirming that Donald Trump wanted to *personally lead* what he *knew* was an armed attack on the Capitol on January 6—are in fact just a drop in the proverbial bucket. — PolitiTweet.org
Seth Abramson @SethAbramson
37/ But in each new revelation we receive today—and new revelations *have* been promised by Committee members—we will see the evidence of a prematurely wound-down investigation. For instance, consider the new Secret Service emails we’re told we will hear about at today’s hearing. — PolitiTweet.org
Seth Abramson @SethAbramson
36/ All this is the backdrop against which we experience today’s likely final public hearing of the House January 6 Committee. It’s a context that you won’t hear from either media or the HJ6C itself—which for their own separate reasons aim to present this as a natural conclusion. — PolitiTweet.org
Seth Abramson @SethAbramson
35/ In promising to disband the House January 6 Committee if Americans inexplicably put an insurrectionist, anti-democratic, neo-fascist party in power in November—sacrificing America over upset about gas prices set by OPEC—the GOP seeks to blind us to their *current* treachery. — PolitiTweet.org
Seth Abramson @SethAbramson
34/ The leaders of the insurrection haven’t changed. Their tactics haven’t changed. Their allies haven’t changed. Their aims haven’t changed. Their strategies haven’t changed. Their mechanisms haven’t changed. To understand the January 6 plot is to understand a *present* danger. — PolitiTweet.org
Seth Abramson @SethAbramson
33/ This is the key point in this part of today’s thread: the House January 6 Committee may or may not make criminal referrals to DOJ, but as DOJ can ignore these at will this *isn’t* what the GOP fears. It fears what the HJ6C teaches us about *ongoing* insurrectionist schemes. — PolitiTweet.org
Seth Abramson @SethAbramson
32/ The Republican Party knows that if it wins the House in 2022 and/or the White House in 2024 it will have ample opportunities to delay or nix the FBI and DOJ investigations of GOP insurrectionists. But for now, it knows the HJ6C threatens revelations that are relevant *today*. — PolitiTweet.org
Seth Abramson @SethAbramson
31/ That the FBI and DOJ are so heavily relying on witness interviews by the House January 6 Committee underscores that the HJ6C is *so far ahead* of the FBI and DOJ in its investigation that *of course* it’s *this* investigation the Republican Party is most keen to scuttle ASAP. — PolitiTweet.org
Seth Abramson @SethAbramson
30/ In fact, the FBI/DOJ investigation of the leaders of the January 6 insurrection (and ongoing insurrection) has only just begun—approximately 18 months late, after much of the key evidence has been lost, destroyed, tampered with, improperly synchronized, or otherwise degraded. — PolitiTweet.org
Seth Abramson @SethAbramson
29/ Even right-leaning outlets like Politico concede the House January 6 Committee never believed it would, could, or should influence election outcomes. As recently as June, Politico was conceding that that isn’t what the HJ6C is about. So the midterms shouldn’t *end* anything. — PolitiTweet.org
Seth Abramson @SethAbramson
28/ So when we investigate the *leaders* of the January 6 plot—which is what Congress, unlike the FBI or DOJ, has specifically tasked itself with doing—we are investigating the *current leaders* of an illegal insurrection. They are the same people; it is the same investigation. — PolitiTweet.org
Seth Abramson @SethAbramson
27/ January 6 is not, therefore, a date or point in time that becomes less relevant the farther we move away from it. It is a *shorthand* for Donald Trump’s ongoing insurrection, which on January 6 stormed the Capitol but is now set to poison and destroy our democracy nationwide. — PolitiTweet.org
Seth Abramson @SethAbramson
26/ January 6 was merely the public launch of a previously clandestine plot to steal the 2020 presidential election and end American democracy. That plot began in Summer 2020 and—critically—has only *gained massively* in scope, ambition, and dangerousness since January 6, 2021. — PolitiTweet.org

Seth Abramson @SethAbramson
25/ While the media pens thinkpieces suggesting that public interest in the hearings has waned, this is misleading. The midterm elections, the war in Europe, emerging COVID-19 variants, and continued inflation has simply temporarily pushed from the news an *ongoing insurrection*. — PolitiTweet.org
Seth Abramson @SethAbramson
24/ While the House January 6 Committee is understandably time-limited within hearings—3-hour hearings would lose public attention, and themed hearings are deemed preferable to help focus attention—the complexity of the investigation *as a whole* likely demands a 5-year duration. — PolitiTweet.org
Seth Abramson @SethAbramson
23/ No—what I’m mostly focused on here, due to my own work on January 6 and because I know the House January 6 Committee has read it, is that the American public has found at PROOF literally *scores* of fully sourced lines of investigative inquiry that the HJ6C hasn’t publicized. — PolitiTweet.org
Seth Abramson @SethAbramson
22/ I’m not merely speaking of the fact that the House January 6 Committee freely admits that *even amongst the forms of evidence it’s already shared with the public* there are clips of depositions and video clips of January 6 that are *essential* but have not yet been disclosed. — PolitiTweet.org
Seth Abramson @SethAbramson
21/ I’m not merely speaking of the fact that the House January 6 Committee still has pending interview negotiations—e.g., with Trump adviser Newt Gingrich and Trump surrogate Doug Mastriano—as well as other interviews (G. Thomas, Mnuchin, Pompeo) too recent to be fully processed. — PolitiTweet.org
Seth Abramson @SethAbramson
20/ I’m not merely speaking of the fact that January 6 arrests are still being made—and hundreds of January 6 defendants are still being investigated or in mid-prosecution, meaning they may yet provide January 6 evidence Congress will be unable to review if the HJ6C is disbanded. — PolitiTweet.org
Seth Abramson @SethAbramson
19/ I’m not merely speaking of the fact that the federal January 6 tip-line has received 10,000 tips in the last 140 days, confirming—as Rep. Jamie Raskin, Democrat of Maryland, has also said—that evidence regarding January 6 continues to pour into Congress and remain unreviewed. — PolitiTweet.org
Seth Abramson @SethAbramson
18/ I’m not merely speaking of the nearly Trump administration–wide deletion of critical January 6–related digital evidence—texts and other electronic communications—which mass deletions haven’t been remedied yet and in several cases have even been *aided* by Trump-appointed IGs. — PolitiTweet.org
Seth Abramson @SethAbramson
17/ I’m not merely speaking of the possibly historic number of witnesses—many of them elected officials or individuals who worked for years in public service (in many instances with salaries paid by taxpayers)—who are currently in contempt of Congress by ignoring their subpoenas. — PolitiTweet.org
Seth Abramson @SethAbramson
16/ I’m not merely speaking here of the fact that the House January 6 Committee hasn’t yet even decided whether to subpoena—or seek a voluntary interview with—the two chief witnesses in the entire investigation, former president Donald Trump and former vice president Mike Pence. — PolitiTweet.org

Seth Abramson @SethAbramson
15/ But what Americans *mustn’t* do is confuse a duly constituted House select committee investigating the gravest attack on D.C. since the War of 1812 ending its public hearings *years early* with the idea that the Committee is done with its work. It’s not even *close* to done. — PolitiTweet.org
Seth Abramson @SethAbramson
14/ These Committee members are likely correct in thinking that if they don’t finish their (surely lengthy) final report by Christmas—a report that will make critical recommendations about how to keep America safe from future coup attempts—the report might never be issued at all. — PolitiTweet.org
