7/ But the actions of Cipollone and Meadows aren’t relevant to Trump’s intent. He certainly intended to appoint Powell, believed he had, and—moreover—Powell thought he did and Cipollone took actions to stop the appointment progressing, suggesting he knew *something* had happened. — PolitiTweet.org

Seth Abramson @SethAbramson

6/ Moreover, he thereafter directed Mark Meadows to complete the paperwork for Powell. Both Trump and Powell appear to have believed that Powell was appointed. Powell did not exercise her authority only because Cipollone (and perhaps Meadows) ultimately unilaterally blocked it. — PolitiTweet.org

5/ Donald Trump told *three* White House Counsel’s Office attorneys he was making the appointment (Cipollone, Hershmann and Lyons) as well as six or more civilians (Powell, Flynn, Byrne, Ziegler, Giuliani and Powell’s paralegal at a minimum) and *never* retracted the appointment. — PolitiTweet.org

4/ Unlike the Clark appointment, however, which (a) Trump retracted the following day—January 4, the first business day Clark would have been acting Attorney General—and (b) Trump only communicated to Clark and secretarial staff, the Powell appointment went much, *much* farther. — PolitiTweet.org

3/ The simple fact is that we now know that—just as Trump *did* verbally appoint Jeffrey Clark America’s new Attorney General on January 3, 2021, and tell others he was doing so—he *did* verbally appoint Sidney Powell a White House special counsel and tell others he was doing so. — PolitiTweet.org

2/ Yesterday changed things. What changed things was a part of the House January 6 Committee hearing yesterday that was missed by some analysts and even those who caught it—like MSNBC—have not yet had the time or space in their broadcasts to sufficiently unpack its significance. — PolitiTweet.org

1/ PROOF was founded on January 14, 2021. Between then and yesterday, it has consistently taken the position that Donald Trump did *not* commit Treason either before January 6, on January 6, or after January 6 under the statutory definition of that historically important term. — PolitiTweet.org

“I do think criminal prosecutions are possible,” says Ty Cobb, a former top lawyer in the Trump White House. “Possible for Trump and Meadows certainly. And for the others—including lawyers—who engaged fraudulently in formal proceedings or investigations.” https://t.co/XFhkCBsKgA — PolitiTweet.org

@BrandyZadrozny @Popehat @oneunderscore__ @lyzl Amazing how she goes from being not qualified to work at the Cedar Rapids Gazette to being a fine journalist the moment she writes about someone who has you blocked on Twitter — PolitiTweet.org

Seth Abramson @SethAbramson

@BrandyZadrozny @Popehat @oneunderscore__ @lyzl And I will again post my response to that essay, which refutes every point in it as a lie—with evidence—and I’m sure you’ll read it Brandy because you are definitely a journalist not a silly hack who was fired from the Cedar Rapids Gazette like Lyz Lenz https://t.co/JEktX8GSlZ — PolitiTweet.org

Seth Abramson @SethAbramson

@oneunderscore__ Your beat, like Brandy’s, is just telling people who isn’t cool and who they shouldn’t read in the middle of an armed insurrection. You are not doing actual work and you are not providing vital information in the midst of a national emergency. You police a high school cafeteria. — PolitiTweet.org

Seth Abramson @SethAbramson

@oneunderscore__ Right, which is why I did the work of corroborating everything he said and listing all the other people who say the same thing and synchronizing their stories and collecting it all in one place—audio, video, and transcript—and publishing it over a year ago. You know, journalism. — PolitiTweet.org
