95/ Schiff plays some video of Trump spreading lies about Georgia at a public rally on December 5, 2020. — PolitiTweet.org
Seth Abramson @SethAbramson
94/ Sterling testifies that trying to combat the misinformation being directly spread by Trump was like "a shovel trying to drain the ocean." — PolitiTweet.org
Seth Abramson @SethAbramson
93/ The key point here is that if you went on Trump’s Truth Social—a supposed free-speech-oriented social media platform—right now and spread Sterling’s testimony about how this conspiracy theory was false and dangerous you’d get banned from Truth Social. https://t.co/syS56cfToG — PolitiTweet.org
Seth Abramson @SethAbramson
92/ Sterling is detailing the conspiracy theory and how it was proven absurd and false. I’m not going to detail this part of the testimony, as this conspiracy theory was deranged and a lie from the jump and it almost *got people killed*. I hate that it has to be discussed at all. — PolitiTweet.org
Seth Abramson @SethAbramson
91/ Giuliani appeared before a GA state senate hearing playing video of an alleged fraudulent-ballot-stuffing operation that had already been explained to Trump and his inner circle as a totally fraudulent conspiracy theory. The truth did not stop Trump or Giuliani on this claim. — PolitiTweet.org
Seth Abramson @SethAbramson
90/ Sterling is detailing a particularly vile threat of the *many* against GA officials that Trump’s words (knowingly) incited. Trump was aware of Sterling’s plea—he referenced it by tweet—and *still* refused to not incite violence. He *maintained* his false claims about Georgia. — PolitiTweet.org
Seth Abramson @SethAbramson
89/ In early December 2020 Sterling gave a press conference in which he addressed Trump directly—asking him to stop inciting violence. Sterling is a powerful speaker. And of course Trump ignored his plea in the most spectacular fashion imaginable by inciting the January 6 attack. — PolitiTweet.org
Seth Abramson @SethAbramson
88/ Raffensperger confirms under oath that Biden won Georgia. He notes that the election in Georgia in 2020 was incredibly successful, and was recounted *multiple* times—each time confirming Biden’s win by 12,000 votes. — PolitiTweet.org
Seth Abramson @SethAbramson
87/ Brad Raffensperger will be questioned first. Like Bowers, he is a *conservative* Republican—a *conservative* Republican!—who supported Trump in both 2016 and 2020. As ever, the House January 6 Committee witnesses are *nearly all* not just Republicans but *ardent* Republicans. — PolitiTweet.org
Seth Abramson @SethAbramson
86/ The January 6 Committee is back. Thompson is giving a statement noting that Trump was particularly obsessed with Georgia. We’re getting a video of Trump spreading election lies *after* we know he’d been told by his Attorney General that the lies he was spreading *were* lies. — PolitiTweet.org
Seth Abramson @SethAbramson
85/ Obviously PROOF and other outlets have presented evidence of the active involvement of *15 to 20* GOP members of Congress in Trump’s conspiracy, but these are the first two members to come up in Committee hearings. And again, we had video of Ali Alexander and Alex Jones, too. — PolitiTweet.org
Seth Abramson @SethAbramson
84/ I will note also that apparently a staffer from the office of Senator Ron JOHNSON (R-WI) was pushing the fake-elector scheme. So that would make *two* GOP members of Congress (with Rep. BIGGS) this hearing took us closer to in terms of active involvement in the coup plot. — PolitiTweet.org
Seth Abramson @SethAbramson
83/ It’s possible (but not confirmed) that the "three bars" logo Bowers was referring to as being present on the chest of a man near his property with a gun was the Three Percenters logo (one of the paramilitaries present on January 6). Will try to look into this. See logo below: https://t.co/GHlGcxs7rN — PolitiTweet.org

RT @SethAbramson: (🧵) LIVE THREAD: I’m live-tweeting today’s (Tuesday’s) 1PM ET House January 6 Committee hearing. I’m a lawyer, journalist… — PolitiTweet.org
Seth Abramson @SethAbramson
82/ The Committee is taking a five-minute recess now. — PolitiTweet.org
Seth Abramson @SethAbramson
81/ God, Arizona Speaker Rusty Bowers is an unbelievably compelling witness. — PolitiTweet.org
Seth Abramson @SethAbramson
80/ Bowers is now detailing all the threats he faced because of his unwillingness to do as Trump asked him. Bowers says his office got 20,000+ messages—which made operating the office near impossible. And he says that he gets threats at his home also via *live protesters* there. — PolitiTweet.org
Seth Abramson @SethAbramson
79/ Bowers called the scheme a "tragic parody." Another GOP state official, via depo, called it "insane." It certainly seems Giuliani was orchestrating all of this and that Trump was aware of it the entire time. They both knew the "normal" legal team had washed their hands of it. — PolitiTweet.org
Seth Abramson @SethAbramson
78/ The slates went to Congress and the federal executive branch, and the conspirators in these battleground states were trying to send them to Pence but Pence’s team said he didn’t want them. This scheme was coordinated by the Trump campaign at a time they knew it was illegal. — PolitiTweet.org
Seth Abramson @SethAbramson
77/ We are now seeing pictures of all the fake elector certificates submitted to federal officials. This was done in state after state after state, and was immediately dovetailed with the Trumpist pressure campaign on state legislators to say, "See? We have dueling electors now." — PolitiTweet.org
Seth Abramson @SethAbramson
76/ Now we hear from GOP party officials in Michigan and Wisconsin detailing the bizarre things the 2020 Trump campaign was trying to get fake electors to do in battleground states. One group of fake electors was planning to hide in a State Capitol overnight. This is crazy stuff. — PolitiTweet.org
Seth Abramson @SethAbramson
75/ We have recorded info from Matt Morgan and Justin Clark of the Trump campaign, and Trump campaign staffer Robert Sinners, talking about how the "fake elector" plot was a coordinated campaign to get lower-level staffers to do things Trump and his inner circle knew was illegal. — PolitiTweet.org
Seth Abramson @SethAbramson
74/ Everyone on Team Normal within the Trump campaign and the White House Counsel’s office was telling Meadows, Giuliani and others that the fake-elector plot was illegal. Wow—now we know why Meadows is stonewalling Congress. He is in *major* legal trouble, based on these facts. — PolitiTweet.org
Seth Abramson @SethAbramson
73/ Note: Kenneth Chesebro has also been mentioned for the first time. He leads us to the stunning and unbelievably complex story detailed by PROOF here (🔐): https://t.co/47slBRlSj2 — PolitiTweet.org
Seth Abramson @SethAbramson
72/ Schiff says the "Team Normal" component of Team Trump quit rather than participate in a fake electors plot. An HJ6C investigator now presents facts in a recorded video. Giuliani, Giuliani adjuncts, Meadows, Eastman and members of Congress helped create the fake elector plan. — PolitiTweet.org
Seth Abramson @SethAbramson
71/ Schiff says he’ll now turn his attention to the "fake electors" scheme, part of the "Green Bay Sweep" coup plot—though understand that that plot imagined that people like Bowers would certify Trump electors; in lieu of that, Team Trump created fake *and* uncertified electors. — PolitiTweet.org
Seth Abramson @SethAbramson
70/ Rep. Biggs—one of the *three members of Congress* Ali Alexander said in a video he knowingly conspired with—joined onto the requests being made of Speaker Bowers by Trump, Giuliani, Eastman, Ellis, and others. — PolitiTweet.org
Seth Abramson @SethAbramson
69/ It seems that John Eastman was even asking Bowers to illegally call a special session—as he didn’t have the votes to legally call one. Holy cow! Schiff mentions Rep. Andy BIGGS (R-AZ)! The first GOP member of Congress who has been mentioned in the Committee hearings! Wow. — PolitiTweet.org
