(PS9) Those who listen to podcasts, read books, or listen to interviews with experts on how civil wars start will well understand that when we use the term in 2022 we’re not describing anything like what we saw in the 1860s. That doesn’t mean it wouldn’t be absolutely horrifying. — PolitiTweet.org
Seth Abramson @SethAbramson
(PS8) The real question I have is who in the Biden administration is taking the possibility of civil war over the next 5-10 years seriously—because there’s certainly no public indication that anyone is and I find that extremely troubling. Remember, with Trump there’s *no* bottom. — PolitiTweet.org
Seth Abramson @SethAbramson
(PS7) The nightmare scenario—not one I’m predicting; in fact one I find quite remote—is that Trump and Don Jr. set up a second home base in Montana if Trump is indicted or loses in 2024 and become a magnet for armed insurrectionists to quickly muster in the American Redoubt area. — PolitiTweet.org
Seth Abramson @SethAbramson
(PS6) If the Trumpists attempt to form it by force of arms, the “American Redoubt” will collapse quickly—for many reasons, e.g. economic, legal, and military. But the destabilization of a large region in America would give domestic terrorism an unparalleled opportunity to thrive. — PolitiTweet.org

(PS5) I don’t say that I believe all sane people should leave Idaho immediately lightly. I believe it. It is hard to see how Idaho remains safe over the next ten years. I am tweeting these things because I think America is safer when we are prepared for plausible eventualities. — PolitiTweet.org
Seth Abramson @SethAbramson
(PS4) There are many reliable sources in which you can read about what’s happening in Idaho—and you can read PROOF on the Idaho-J6 connection—so the below article is just one. The CNN article up now about armed Idahoans threatening librarians is another. https://t.co/vPxyYFZYiB — PolitiTweet.org
Seth Abramson @SethAbramson
(PS3) A lot of people talk about leaving the United States because it’s starting to feel like Germany in the 1930s, and while I very much empathize with that talk, I believe it’s too early by far to give up on America. But if I were in Idaho, I would get the hell out—like *now*. — PolitiTweet.org
Seth Abramson @SethAbramson
@supertech427 @Oxforduk23 The Free Staters will never make real headway in the Granite State because we have a highly educated population here that is not religious and believes in science. They would absolutely find a much warmer reception in Idaho, for the reasons I am here... uh, implying. — PolitiTweet.org
Seth Abramson @SethAbramson
@samdodge07 Correct. As you already know from first-hand experience, that straight line is actually a series of non-straight county boundaries. — PolitiTweet.org
Seth Abramson @SethAbramson
@itsjustmekaila Yes. — PolitiTweet.org
Seth Abramson @SethAbramson
(PS2) For what it’s worth, I’ll note that Donald Trump Jr. has long spent a lot of time in Montana—inside the boundaries of the would-be “American Redoubt.” If Trump is indicted or runs against Biden in 2024 and loses, the odds the Redoubters seek war appear to me to be 1 in 3. — PolitiTweet.org
Seth Abramson @SethAbramson
(PS) Don’t let the first time you read up on the phrase “American Redoubt” be the day you learn Idaho has declared itself no longer part of the U.S. and is policing its borders with hundreds or even thousands of armed Trumpist radicals who refuse to recognize the U.S. government. — PolitiTweet.org
Seth Abramson @SethAbramson
(📢) If a civil war starts in the U.S. in the next 5 years, it’ll start in Idaho and be started by the American Redoubters—armed fascists whose leaders have close ties to Trump and who are already openly threatening government officials. I advise Googling “American Redoubt” ASAP. https://t.co/VDsM3fBKSE — PolitiTweet.org

Seth Abramson @SethAbramson
PS5/ Some say we shouldn’t be agitated—this’ll be overturned on appeal (if DOJ appeals rather than being scared—preposterously—an appeal might seem quote-unquote political). But each delay/deviation from protocol harms rule of law and gives Trump more room to maneuver criminally. — PolitiTweet.org
Seth Abramson @SethAbramson
PS4/ It’s for all the foregoing reasons that my rather curt and snarky tweets about the ruling this morning focused on just two possibilities: (a) Judge Cannon is a political partisan more than she is a judge, or (b) she’s *acting* that way because she’s scared of MAGA terrorism. — PolitiTweet.org
Seth Abramson @SethAbramson
PS3/ A judge can only take what’s called judicial notice of facts not in evidence on a motion by one of the parties, but here she’s already said Trump is special—she can take into account items not properly before her—so how is she drawing the line on her deviation from protocol? — PolitiTweet.org
Seth Abramson @SethAbramson
PS2/ I’ll also say that I consider it odd that Cannon feels compelled to consider certain facts not in evidence—a 2024 run Trump hasn’t announced; legal claims he hasn’t/won’t make—but not *other* known facts, like the movant’s decades-long history of bad-faith delaying tactics. — PolitiTweet.org
Seth Abramson @SethAbramson
PS/ As it is appealing, DOJ should *also* use the Cannon ruling as an additional basis—it already has probable cause—to search other Trump domiciles for the contraband it *knows* he stole. Moreover, it should move full speed ahead with its January 6 investigation of the ex-POTUS. — PolitiTweet.org
Seth Abramson @SethAbramson
CONCLUSION/ This case should’ve been heard by the same court already overseeing the Mar-a-Lago search. Failing that, it should’ve been decided by Cannon consistent with the facts, law, and the issues *actually raised* by the movant (Trump). Fortunately, DOJ can—and should—appeal. — PolitiTweet.org
Seth Abramson @SethAbramson
40/ And it’s *on top of all this* we must put the fact that a) Cannon is a lame-duck Trump-appointed judge who owes her career to the movant in her case, b) Trump has actively incited threats against *all* government agents who could threaten him—which implicitly includes Cannon. — PolitiTweet.org
Seth Abramson @SethAbramson
39/ The result of this is that we have a demand for a special master without any of the legal or factual grounding for such a demand, in a situation in which granting the demand harms national security, and with a claim of special status that has no basis in U.S. law whatsoever. — PolitiTweet.org
Seth Abramson @SethAbramson
38/ And to be clear—to the extent appointment of a special master *is* common in a type of case involving a seizure, it’s one in which a defendant *shows cause* to a court that there’s reason to think items were seized a special master must curate. Trump has made no such showing. — PolitiTweet.org
Seth Abramson @SethAbramson
37/ Here, Trump won’t invoke because—again—he’s trying to maintain the farce that he’s no idea what he took and therefore doesn’t know if any of it was privileged (which, again, is legally immaterial here anyway). So Judge Cannon has helpfully given him an argument he never made. — PolitiTweet.org

Seth Abramson @SethAbramson
36/ To my knowledge not a single federal judge since 2017 has required Trump to invoke executive privilege even when *others* have—without any basis in law—tried to do so on his behalf. It’s like these judges are acting as *Trump’s lawyers*, invoking defenses *he* can’t or won’t. — PolitiTweet.org
Seth Abramson @SethAbramson
35/ But even more than this, Trump—*again*, and consistent with his M.O. throughout his presidency—has yet to formally invoke executive privilege with respect to *any* specific document. The law requires him to do so, but judges have been covering his ass on this for *years* now. — PolitiTweet.org
