(PS3) While I’m also a lawyer, I’m not currently practicing. Practicing lawyers better start thinking hard—and daily—about the constitutional crisis we’re about to enter because of Clarence Thomas, Ginni Thomas, the 2022 and 2024 elections, and a new crop of GOP insurrectionists. — PolitiTweet.org

Seth Abramson @SethAbramson

(PS2) I will also say that—like Adam Kinzinger—I do not at this point fully know how America gets itself out of the hole it is in without some measure of civil unrest. I try not to think about that and to just do my research because I am finally simply a researcher and an author. — PolitiTweet.org

Seth Abramson @SethAbramson

(PS) I’ll simply say that there’s no longer any doubt that the January 6 insurrection—which is ongoing—is the most extraordinary *domestic* political event in US history since the Civil War. (I’m treating WWI/WWII as largely overseas events, and the Great Depression as economic.) — PolitiTweet.org

(UPDATE) The new article on Ginni Thomas is now written—I’m editing it and adding links now. You can tell how excited I am about this report by the fact that I’m writing it tonight despite having live-tweeted much of the day and having the worst elbow pain you can imagine ATM. — PolitiTweet.org

Why do I now believe Trump will be indicted? Because if you watched the hearing the House January 6 Committee just conducted, you understand that the current DOJ is *never* going to allow Trump to run the DOJ again. And Trump plans to announce that he’s running for POTUS in 2024. — PolitiTweet.org

137/ Rep. Thompson (D-MS) emphasizes that the Committee is receiving a lot of new evidence and it will present much of it in July. He’s now gaveled the hearing adjourned. I cannot count how many bombshells we just heard. I am practically shell-shocked right now. I mean...Jesus. — PolitiTweet.org

Seth Abramson @SethAbramson

136/ Thompson says the January 6 mob was Trump’s "backup plan." The mob was supposed to enact a violent coup if Trump could’nt enact a "political coup." This is a means of preparing America and the Committee for its July hearings—which will apparently focus on *January 6 itself*. — PolitiTweet.org

Seth Abramson @SethAbramson

135/ ...and he has continued lying about it, and his allies are still lying about it, and the only reason he’s not still president is because a small number of people in positions of power stood in his way in the face of all kinds of threats: personal, professional and otherwise. — PolitiTweet.org

Seth Abramson @SethAbramson

134/ ...and he *knew* he lost, he had been told he lost, the election was free and fair and secure and not marked by fraud, Trump lied in court over and over again because there was no evidence in support of his conspiracy theories, yet Trump kept lying about the 2020 election... — PolitiTweet.org

Seth Abramson @SethAbramson

133/ Every time she speaks, Rep. Cheney underscores *how much more evidence* is coming. I appreciate that she does this and I know she is correct. Thompson is now wrapping up this fifth hearing of the House January 6 Committee by summarizing the basic facts: Trump lost... — PolitiTweet.org

Seth Abramson @SethAbramson

132/ Now Cheney (R-WY) is giving her closing statement. Cheney, like Kinzinger, lauds the courage of the witnesses. The reason the Trump-Ukraine scandal happened is because certain political appointees at the State Department did *not* have the courage of these people from DOJ. — PolitiTweet.org

Seth Abramson @SethAbramson

131/ REP. ADAM KINZINGER (R-IL): "I’m still worried that not enough has changed to prevent this from happening again." I agree. — PolitiTweet.org

Seth Abramson @SethAbramson

130/ Rudy Giuliani, John Eastman, and others were *fed* rank nonsense by men whose names haven’t been said at these hearings—and that nonsense went *immediately* to Trump and almost led to the collapse of American democracy and the birth of a new neo-fascist authoritarian regime. — PolitiTweet.org

Seth Abramson @SethAbramson

129/ Kinzinger says the "wildest" corners of the internet—election conspiracy theories—somehow went "right" to the Oval Office. Again, we need to know much more about the amateur intel agents who say they assisted John Eastman—including members of the First Amendment Praetorians. — PolitiTweet.org

Seth Abramson @SethAbramson

128/ His closing statement is about the *proper and historic role* of the Department of Justice in America, which it appears Donald Trump *never accepted* during the entirety of his presidency. He found a man—Clark—who like him believed that "facts were just an inconvenience." — PolitiTweet.org

Seth Abramson @SethAbramson

126/ Holy ****—Brooks wanted a blanket pardon for EVERY MEMBER OF CONGRESS IN THE OVAL OFFICE ON DECEMBER 21, 2020. Do people realize how long that list is? Biggs wanted a pardon. Gohmert. Greene. Hice. Perry. The list goes on and on. All believed they might’ve committed crimes. — PolitiTweet.org

Seth Abramson @SethAbramson

125/ We’re now covering the pardon issue. Brooks asked for a pardon for himself, Gaetz, and many others. Eric Hershmann (Trump attorney) says Gaetz and others believed they might be criminally prosecuted for their role in January 6. They wanted *blanket, massively broad pardons*. — PolitiTweet.org

Seth Abramson @SethAbramson

124/ Donoghue confirms that he *also* did not hear from Trump that day—January 6. But he too, like Rosen, heard from basically everyone else atop our government. Trump was AWOL on January 6—that is, after he’d incited an armed mob to march on our government. — PolitiTweet.org

Seth Abramson @SethAbramson

123/ Rosen did not speak to Trump on January 6. He spoke to VP Mike Pence about the situation at the Capitol. This further confirms that Pence was the *de facto* President on January 6, because everyone in Trump’s Cabinet knew that the elected president was 100% AWOL on that day. — PolitiTweet.org

Seth Abramson @SethAbramson

122/ Rosen sent 500+ federal agents to the Capitol ASAP on January 6 in response to these urgent calls. Trump sent no one. — PolitiTweet.org
