122/ Schiff has concluded his questioning. This feed only has so much reach, but I want to say that I hope *all Americans* will treat these two women as *heroes* going forward. They’re public servants who *did their duty* and should be honored for that the rest of their lives. — PolitiTweet.org
Seth Abramson @SethAbramson
121/ A stunning fact: Trump’s lies got *all* the brave public servants who appeared in that Georgia video to quit public service. And that is part of Trump’s game here, which must be called what it is: *domestic terrorism*. Trump wants good people to be scared out of public life. — PolitiTweet.org
Seth Abramson @SethAbramson
120/ Trumpist radicals apparently tried to break into the witness’s *grandmother’s* house claiming that they were making a "citizen’s arrest." The lies of Trump and his agents—lies they *know* are lies, whatever a cable news talking head says—are endangering our fellow citizens. — PolitiTweet.org
Seth Abramson @SethAbramson
119/ The witness’s mother had to be evacuated from her home by the FBI for her own safety in advance of January 6. Ultimately, she had to be in hiding—with federal protection—for *two months* because of Donald Trump. She had lived in the home she had to then flee for *21 years*. — PolitiTweet.org
Seth Abramson @SethAbramson
118/ These two women from Georgia basically have to hide from the world because they are still afraid—and they know that anyone knowing their names could be dangerous to them. This is devastating testimony at a level I cannot express to anyone not watching this testimony now. — PolitiTweet.org
Seth Abramson @SethAbramson
117/ This family should sue Donald Trump for $1 billion, I swear to God. And even that wouldn’t return their lives to them. — PolitiTweet.org
Seth Abramson @SethAbramson
116/ We’re now hearing a depo from the witness’s mom, whose name I’ll also not use her for her sake (though it’s public). She’s talking about how she had a reputation in her community she was proud of; she wanted to serve her community. Trump effectively tried to get her killed. — PolitiTweet.org
Seth Abramson @SethAbramson
115/ Trump used the name of the witness’s mother *eighteen times* in his criminal call to Raffensperger. Trump also uses racially coded language. This witness...this could be you or me. She’s just a regular American who got caught up in Trump’s nationwide coup conspiracy. Jesus. — PolitiTweet.org
Seth Abramson @SethAbramson
114/ Oh God. This is so hard to watch. This poor woman. All she wanted to do was serve her community. Jesus... I’m going to start crying before she does. This is so terrible—and was so *carefully orchestrated* by powerful white men with no regard for anyone’s life or well-being. — PolitiTweet.org
Seth Abramson @SethAbramson
113/ All Giuliani’s claims against these two women are racially coded. I’m not going to detail how because it’s so nauseating to even listen to this content. Totally disgusting, despicable, and unforgivable. Team Trump terrorized these women and didn’t care if they lived or died. — PolitiTweet.org
Seth Abramson @SethAbramson
112/ Trump lawyer Giuliani is the man who *particularly* spread vile lies about this woman and her mom. He had *no evidence* in support of his claims; Trump and Giuliani knew the claims were false; and they kept spreading these lies knowing they could get these Americans killed. — PolitiTweet.org
Seth Abramson @SethAbramson
111/ It’s heartbreaking to watch just a regular person—a volunteer who’s not an elected official or political powerbroker—detailing things they and their family went through because of a coordinated campaign by (think of it!) the *President of the United States*. Just harrowing. — PolitiTweet.org
Seth Abramson @SethAbramson
110/ This witness is the daughter of a Georgia elections worker who is present in the room but not testifying. The witness’s mom is the person whose name was *most* dragged through the mud by Team Trump in racist terms intended to incite threats against the witness and her mom. — PolitiTweet.org
Seth Abramson @SethAbramson
109/ Obviously this witness’s name is public and is being used at the hearing. I’m nevertheless not going to use it here because the witness (and particularly her mother, whose name is even more out there) has gone through enough. She is a just private citizen and public servant. — PolitiTweet.org
Seth Abramson @SethAbramson
108/ Schiff has concluded his questioning of the first live witness panel and the witnesses have been dismissed by Thompson. A new live witness is now arriving: a Georgia elections worker falsely accused of election fraud in Georgia by Team Trump. Her case is just one of *many*. — PolitiTweet.org
Seth Abramson @SethAbramson
107/ Remember that while anyone who follows politics closely has already heard almost all these false claims by Trump—and heard them debunked—to some Americans they’re hearing them for the first time. Certainly we’re all hearing this *in a single presentation* for the first time. — PolitiTweet.org
Seth Abramson @SethAbramson
106/ Trump kept telling Raffensperger it was "dangerous" for him to deny Trump. Raffensperger has now written publicly that he deemed this a "threat." And indeed he got doxxed, his wife got rape threats, he was threatened with death and his daughter-in-law’s home was broken into. — PolitiTweet.org
Seth Abramson @SethAbramson
105/ Trump is now ranting on audio about shredded GA ballots. This is a deranged *performance*—as Trump *knew* he’d lost, he’d been *told* he lost by everyone, and he is (in now this second audio we are hearing) nevertheless asking GA to "find" just enough ballots for him to win. — PolitiTweet.org

Seth Abramson @SethAbramson
104/ Trump also threatened Raffensperger—implying Raffensperger could be federally criminally charged if he didn’t aid Trump in "finding" votes. — PolitiTweet.org
Seth Abramson @SethAbramson
103/ Trump said there were 66,000 underaged voters in Georgia and 424,000 non-registered voters. Actually? Zero and zero—per a State of Georgia investigation. And the *maximum* number of felons accidentally or knowingly voting illegally—still under investigation—is actually 74. — PolitiTweet.org
Seth Abramson @SethAbramson
102/ Trump insisted 10,000 dead Georgians voted. The State of Georgia found... *4* such instances. Not 4,000. Not 400. Not 40. 4. — PolitiTweet.org
Seth Abramson @SethAbramson
101/ Sterling is again in a detailed way batting down a Trump conspiracy theory I won’t repeat here. Trump knew it was a lie at the time. — PolitiTweet.org
Seth Abramson @SethAbramson
100/ We’re now hearing excerpts from Trump’s 67-minute call with Raffensperger—a separate call. Trump is repeating lies he’d long ago been told by Bill Barr, Richard Donoghoe, and BJ Pak (lead federal law enforcement officer in Fulton County) were false. He was lying and knew it. — PolitiTweet.org
Seth Abramson @SethAbramson
99/ Whoa—evidence that Meadows’ office was planning to send bribes to the office of the Georgia Election Auditor ("a shitload of POTUS stuff [souvenirs]") at a time when he was leaning on her. She was an elections investigator investigating an election Trump *was a candidate in*. — PolitiTweet.org
Seth Abramson @SethAbramson
98/ We’re hearing audio of a call between Trump and the Georgia Election Auditor, in which Trump pressured her and tells lies he had already by then been told were lies. — PolitiTweet.org
Seth Abramson @SethAbramson
97/ ...he ignored information a reasonable person would have accepted. I just yesterday heard Michael Smerconish on CNN spreading the vile lie that Trump can defend himself at trial by saying he "earnestly believed" he won. *No*—he had sufficient info to be informed of the truth. — PolitiTweet.org
Seth Abramson @SethAbramson
96/ Rep. Schiff confirms, via video testimony from Donoghue, that Trump was directly told his Georgia allegations were false. Remember what PROOF and this feed has written of often: the legal doctrine of "willful ignorance" *prohibits* Trump being acquitted of a crime because... — PolitiTweet.org
