(PS3) I have also spent years writing about how Trump attorneys Victoria Toensing and Joe diGenova helped Trump steal the 2016 election and then tried to help him steal the 2020 election. Now Toensing has undergone an FBI raid and the DOJ is sending out subpoenas that say this: https://t.co/Kl9OKwvyi7 — PolitiTweet.org

(PS2) Why it matters: when I wrote Proof of Conspiracy, I was *astounded* that the lawyer who represented the pro-Trump Israeli cyberintelligence operative who meddled in the 2016 election with Saudi money on Trump’s behalf *also* represents...Donald Trump. There’s a story there. — PolitiTweet.org

(PS) We’re talking about the last President of the United States—who’s about to again run for President of the United States—suing one of the largest media entities in the world for accurately reporting on his role in an ongoing insurrection. And this is the lawyer Trump retains? — PolitiTweet.org

(2 of 2) I don’t care what anyone does in their downtime—my point is that Halligan has been out of law school for *10 years*, her https://t.co/c8iDCb9IKb profile pic is blank, and *these* are the second/third images that come up when a lawyer with 10 years’ experience is Googled? — PolitiTweet.org

Seth Abramson @SethAbramson

(1 of 2) I’m perpetually mystified by fellow lawyers agreeing to represent a man like Donald Trump, so I tend to go to Google when a new Trump lawyer pops up. I put the words “Lindsey Halligan Florida” in Google and—after her Facebook page—these are the first images that came up. https://t.co/pHYRtw1a81 — PolitiTweet.org

@ErnestScribbler Sorry, but I’m *far* more alarmed when *progressives* act like they don’t care about America than when an avowed fascist simply confirms what we already know — PolitiTweet.org

Seth Abramson @SethAbramson

@CProtopapas Actually, it’d be a far better sign of the health of our society if the HJ6C had the 3 or 4 years it truly needs to produce a great final report. Unfortunately, the insurrectionists have taken over the GOP, and if they get Congress they will disband the investigation immediately. — PolitiTweet.org

Seth Abramson @SethAbramson

NOTE/ And I hope no one is naive enough to think there isn’t major money in a grotesque ploy like this. The Mueller Report summaries, which began appearing on Amazon a year before the report arrived—all with false publication dates and page-counts—were bestsellers. And now this: https://t.co/ARaQc4L13l — PolitiTweet.org

Seth Abramson @SethAbramson

PS10/ If the U.S. publishing industry were in a healthy state—and not a dilapidated dog park in which editors and publishers scrabble around like starving mongrels looking for a buck—we wouldn’t see shamelessness like this. But publishing, like America, is in a state of sickness. — PolitiTweet.org

Seth Abramson @SethAbramson

PS9/ Of course, if the profiteering we saw around the Mueller Report is any indication, what Celadon *may* do instead is simply postpone the book indefinitely—*after* it has racked up preorders by pretending it had no advance warning a final report might not come until next year. — PolitiTweet.org

Seth Abramson @SethAbramson

PS8/ If you buy this book, it’s entirely possible that what you’ll *actually* get is *not* an 880-page final report but a 100-page *interim* report with enough filler from people who know very little about January 6 for Celadon to *pray* that folks don’t ask for their money back. — PolitiTweet.org

Seth Abramson @SethAbramson

PS7/ Does anyone at Celadon stop and say, “Well, we *could* get away with this, but we shouldn’t even *try* to because the stakes for our democracy are far too high”? No! In fact, it does the opposite: it holds up this book as evidence it cares about America. That makes me livid. — PolitiTweet.org

Seth Abramson @SethAbramson

PS6/ Keep in mind why Celadon is doing this: to profit off releasing the book before a national election. So it’s going to misinform Americans about the “final” findings of the most important congressional committee in U.S. history right before a national election—to make a buck. — PolitiTweet.org

Seth Abramson @SethAbramson

PS5/ What legal liability should Amazon bear for listing a book that misrepresents what it is and the certainty of its release? Imagine legions of Americans reading a brief interim report and being told it’s a final report so Amazon and Celadon can make money off an insurrection. — PolitiTweet.org

Seth Abramson @SethAbramson

PS4/ Which brings me to the other issue with a disgusting cash-grab like this: having raked in hundreds of thousands or even millions of dollars in an at best misleading ad campaign, Celadon Books almost *has* to misrepresent this book as a final report even if it knows it isn’t. — PolitiTweet.org

Seth Abramson @SethAbramson

PS3/ While I’d have to do more research to come to a final conclusion, I question the legality of marketing a book as a final report due on a date certain when the chair of the committee at issue has *explicitly* said at *best* a brief *interim* report *might* appear that month. — PolitiTweet.org

Seth Abramson @SethAbramson

PS2/ A product like this creates a sense among the public and in media that the January 6 Committee will have done something *wrong* if it doesn’t issue its final report by early September. It’s an attempt to rush the most important investigation in U.S. history to make a buck. — PolitiTweet.org

Seth Abramson @SethAbramson

PS/ When I say major media cares more about money than America, this is what I’m referring to. Thompson already said any fall report would be a brief *interim* report—and if Democrats keep the House there may not be a final report until 2023/2024—yet this book is raking in money. — PolitiTweet.org

Seth Abramson @SethAbramson

This is grotesque. Celadon Books promises an 880-page final report from the House January 6 Committee by September 6, 2022, when there may be no report in September, any such report would be an interim one, and we’ve no idea when a final report will come. https://t.co/sqbXQAP2Je — PolitiTweet.org

Seth Abramson @SethAbramson

In my years as a criminal defense attorney, I saw many people who *thought* they were ready to be indicted but were actually terrified when it happened. I’m not sure I have Matt Gaetz’s confidence that Donald Trump is physically *or* mentally prepared for his federal indictments. — PolitiTweet.org

Seth Abramson @SethAbramson

I’ve no idea why any American thinks the time to stop this madness is 2024. There’s an election coming up in November, and to my knowledge not *one* GOP House candidate across the nation—Liz Cheney excepted—has done anything to indicate they won’t work to make Trump POTUS again. — PolitiTweet.org
