(PS) The PROOF report on Bobb is here (🔓): https://t.co/SAm7ntprlJ — PolitiTweet.org

Seth Abramson @SethAbramson

Bobb was pretending to be a journalist on January 6 when she was actually working for Trump’s legal team and pressuring ex-DHS colleagues to interfere in the election. Kerik is an ex-con/known liar. My *guess*? The HJ6C thinks both of them lied—don’t know if they were under oath. — PolitiTweet.org

@NickoleRenee @LMarqusee My view of the guilt of the people in question is informed by 16+ months of research, not by the fact that they are now trying to hide what they know from investigators. Never compare these bastards to workaday defendants trying to figure out their rights by getting to a lawyer. — PolitiTweet.org

Seth Abramson @SethAbramson

@NickoleRenee @LMarqusee Lindsay, can you point me to where I said that pleading the Fifth is evidence of guilt? I'm looking at the tweet you are responding to and I'm not seeing in it what you say is there. Also, please do not tell me what my experience as a public defender taught me. — PolitiTweet.org

@11messiah I’m *very* appreciative when readers of this feed tip, and to an equal degree I get annoyed at false suggestions that tipping is common. Those who do it deserve to be appreciated as having done something generous and rare that almost no one does (not that anyone is obligated to). — PolitiTweet.org

Seth Abramson @SethAbramson

@11messiah You know only .05%-0.1% of Twitter users use the tip button, right? When I see tweets from folks assuming that it works any other way I really have to wonder where they are getting their data from. Ask anyone who has experience with the tip button and they’ll say what I’ve said. — PolitiTweet.org

Seth Abramson @SethAbramson

@11messiah You know that on average 0.05% of Twitter users use the tip button, right? So your fantasies of how this works are completely deranged, right? — PolitiTweet.org

FEED NOTE/ I hope to publish my fifth report on the Loudermilk Tour—running through all the unanswered questions on this topic, as the Committee gets closer and closer to its hearing on the January 6 mob itself—sometime in the next 24 hours at PROOF, here: https://t.co/94g4fNJ989 — PolitiTweet.org

Seth Abramson @SethAbramson

CONCLUSION/ I hope you found this thread useful and will RETWEET the first tweet in this thread so that as many people as possible who missed the hearings can get this play-by-play account of it. This feed will of course also live-tweet the Thursday hearing beginning at noon. — PolitiTweet.org

Seth Abramson @SethAbramson

132/ On CNN, Abby Phillips correctly identified this "pressure campaign" as a campaign "of terror." It was—it was stochastic terrorism that involved indirect *and* direct threats of violence, rape, arrest, and death. And everyone involved—especially Trump—*knew they were lying*. — PolitiTweet.org

Seth Abramson @SethAbramson

131/ It appears that Rep. Adam Kinzinger (R-IL) will do the questioning on Thursday at 1PM ET, and at least one witness will be former deputy AG Richard Donoghoe—a Republican. With that said, Rep. Thompson has just gaveled this meeting of the House January 6 Committee adjourned. — PolitiTweet.org

Seth Abramson @SethAbramson

130/ On Thursday, the hearing will focus on Donald Trump’s attempts to pervert the Department of Justice to his own ends—a scandal that, in itself, if nothing else had ever happened in the January 6 timeline, would be considerably worse than Watergate’s "Saturday Night Massacre." — PolitiTweet.org

Seth Abramson @SethAbramson

129/ Rep. Cheney really is calling Cipollone out as someone who needs to agree to testify. Fortunately, she says the Committee is working with him to try to secure his testimony. I tend to think that they will ultimately be successful in doing so. — PolitiTweet.org

Seth Abramson @SethAbramson

128/ Meadows: Still hiding behind claims of executive privilege. Litigation ongoing. Barr, Rosen, Donoghoe, and others are recognized for having agreed to speak to the House Committee. Cheney calls for *former White House Counsel Pat Cipollone* to testify before the Committee. — PolitiTweet.org

Seth Abramson @SethAbramson

127/ Cheney reads a list of some of those who *didn’t* respond to the Committee—who weren’t heroic in the way Committee witnesses have been. Stone: Pleaded the Fifth. Flynn: Pleaded the Fifth. Eastman: Pleaded the Fifth. Bannon: Indicted (Contempt) Navarro: Indicted (Contempt). — PolitiTweet.org

Seth Abramson @SethAbramson

126/ Now Rep. Cheney (R-WY) is giving her closing statement. She’s noting that our public institutions held after the November 2020 election only because of the people who were then in them—many of whom, Schiff just noted, have since left their jobs because of Trump’s terrorism. — PolitiTweet.org

Seth Abramson @SethAbramson

125/ Schiff says that if we do not reject violence and embrace our Constitution, we are going to lose our democracy. Not in the distant future, but soon. I agree. — PolitiTweet.org

Seth Abramson @SethAbramson

124/ Schiff says Trump acted in an "unconstitutional, unpatriotic, and un-American" way that was *also* "dangerous" (he says whether it was "criminal" will ultimately be determined by "others"). He says that the "pressure campaign" Trump orchestrated led *directly* to January 6. — PolitiTweet.org
