Such disinformation would not have been spread about any prior Supreme Court, because no prior Supreme Court could even momentarily have been thought to be capable of something as insane as this. But the Trumpists see this new Court as capable of anything, which in a sense it is. — PolitiTweet.org

Seth Abramson @SethAbramson

What’s scary is that this ultra-right Supreme Court (so thoroughly discredited by its own conduct) has acted in such a way that thousands and thousands of Trump supporters probably *could* really believe this legal impossibility. The Court has created its own aura of lawlessness. — PolitiTweet.org

Seth Abramson @SethAbramson

Needless to say, *all* of the disinformation put out by the Trumpists is dangerous. But this is *particularly* dangerous. All it takes is a few nutcases believing President Biden has been named an illegitimate president by SCOTUS for our domestic national security to be affected. — PolitiTweet.org

Seth Abramson @SethAbramson

Trumpist radicals are now trying to spark a civil war by spreading the lie that the 2020 election has been overturned by the Supreme Court—something it can’t and won’t do and has absolutely no basis to think about trying (nor has it ever implied that it does—as radical as it is). — PolitiTweet.org

@legalshieldrob Even if Republicans take the House the committee cannot be disbanded until early January. They have more time than you are saying. — PolitiTweet.org

@richsignorelli @jamie_raskin No, agreed. He never does. — PolitiTweet.org

Seth Abramson @SethAbramson

(PS7) If you make clear that you’re covering a single subject across three hearings, you do not have the paradox we have today in which you are trying to cover multiple events and areas but everyone assumes you are stuck in a one-subject-*completed*-per-hearing presentation mode. — PolitiTweet.org

Seth Abramson @SethAbramson

(PS6) The “war rooms” get you Trump family members, Team Kraken, major donors and advisers, and the most militant legal-team components. The “rally organizers” covers (e.g.) Guilfoyle, Wren, Pierson, and the Kremers. Stop the Steal is—with some others—Alexander, Stone, and Jones. — PolitiTweet.org

Seth Abramson @SethAbramson

(PS5) The three parts would likely be “Trump and the War Rooms,” “Trump and the Rally Organizers,” and “Trump and Stop the Steal” (likely in that crescendo-like order). You would then have about 50 figures who you would divide into those three same-subject/different-part buckets. — PolitiTweet.org

Seth Abramson @SethAbramson

(PS4) If I could advise the committee—which to be clear I do not—I’d tell it to tell the story of the actus reus (re: Trump and the extremists) as a 3-act play in 3 televised Congressional hearings that are all on parts of the same subject. Tell America the subject ahead of time. — PolitiTweet.org

Seth Abramson @SethAbramson

(PS3) What folks are saying now—and it’s totally understandable—is that they want the criminal act to be fully outlined for them in a single hearing. But the Committee knows what I also learned in writing articles at PROOF since 2021: this topic can’t be unpacked in one hearing. — PolitiTweet.org

Seth Abramson @SethAbramson

(PS2) I very much urge folks to see the hearing today as an *introduction* to a topic—and not just any topic, but a vast one that is the most important of any, as it goes beyond the unquestionably essential issue of criminal intent (mens rea) to Trump's criminal act (actus reus). — PolitiTweet.org

Seth Abramson @SethAbramson

(PS) One of the reasons I went out of my way in my live thread today to say that the topics now being covered can’t possibly be covered in a single hearing is precisely because of the sort of commentary we’re hearing from all quarters now, which is *understandable* but premature. — PolitiTweet.org

Seth Abramson @SethAbramson

I fully believe we will, as the evidence is not only out there but is known to the Committee. I think people need to give more weight to the statement Jamie Raskin made in which he went out of his way to say that the Committee has a *lot* more evidence to present on these topics. — PolitiTweet.org

NOTE3/ The video of Alexander saying he was asked to lead the march by Trump? At PROOF. The video of Stone saying he was asked to lead the march by Trump? At PROOF. The Pierson pushback? Reported by PROOF in early 2021, and then disclosed by Congress on national TV... *today*. — PolitiTweet.org

Seth Abramson @SethAbramson

NOTE2/ Someone *overruled* Trump on the morning of January 6, leading to Pierson keeping Alexander, Jones and Stone off the stage and the USSS not coordinating with Alexander and Jones as planned. Meanwhile Stone—who *also* says Trump asked him to lead the march—ghosted everyone. — PolitiTweet.org

Seth Abramson @SethAbramson

NOTE/ There’s *so much more video* on this. This isn’t the only telling of this. Others are longer, more detailed, with corroborated facts—including on the funding and how it came about—involve other eyewitnesses, and include Jones having a conversation with Trump *on January 6*. — PolitiTweet.org

(PS6) You can be in major media and simultaneously admit you a) do not know how to do your job and b) do not know things like "what did Trump know about the march?" but you can’t claim to be good at your job and ask questions like "what did Trump know about the march?" Sorry, no. — PolitiTweet.org

Seth Abramson @SethAbramson

(PS5) I get that non-PROOF subscribers do not know about any of this. I also get that the media has had access to all of this information but declined to report it; it wants the *Committee* to say it first. Fine. But this performative tweeting by folks like Collins does steam me. — PolitiTweet.org

Seth Abramson @SethAbramson

(PS4) Raskin said today that much more info is coming. The Committee is trying to get Jones to testify. But it already spoke to Ali Alexander—and I believe (as it was at PROOF) it had *Alexander* admitting on video to being asked by Trump to lead the march when it questioned him. — PolitiTweet.org
