18/ But Trump didn’t have *enough* GOP state legislators on his side as of the 2 weeks before January 6—so he needed help mounting a "pressure campaign" on the rest. Who helped? Ginni Thomas, John Eastman, Rudy Giuliani, Ali Alexander and others. Perhaps even members of Congress. — PolitiTweet.org
Seth Abramson @SethAbramson
17/ The idea was that if the joint session could be postponed on January 6 due to chaos at the Capitol—an occupation by civilians (some, perhaps, armed)—there would be time for such special sessions to be called and fake "Trump electors" sent to D.C. from six battleground states. — PolitiTweet.org
Seth Abramson @SethAbramson
16/ Trump already had some state legislators in the bag pre-January 6; insurrectionists like Finchem planned special sessions of their legislatures for Trump electors to be certified—creating the "dueling electors" scenario PROOF predicted in October 2020: https://t.co/HaWGUXmWxF — PolitiTweet.org
Seth Abramson @SethAbramson
15/ Trump would not have been able to (and would not have been willing to) work with Stop the Steal to attack the Capitol (or Stop the Steal work with the Proud Boys and Oath Keepers) if he did not *already know* that state legislative co-conspirators would help him in his plot. — PolitiTweet.org
Seth Abramson @SethAbramson
14/ The purpose of the January 6 attack on the Capitol (see below; 🔐) was to *delay* certification of Biden’s election win, not to crown Trump president. The joint session had to be delayed so Trump could have his state allies certify new Trump electors. https://t.co/52z1I7bjWE — PolitiTweet.org
Seth Abramson @SethAbramson
13/ So we mustn’t imply—and the Committee mustn’t imply—that all Trump did with respect to state officials pre-January 6 was "pressure" them. He also *conspired* with some of them. And the way in which he conspired with them is the true full-length story of January 6. To explain: — PolitiTweet.org
Seth Abramson @SethAbramson
12/ Indeed, the fact that January 6 was intended as and in many respects *was* a *national* Day of Rage orchestrated by Trump rather than just one in DC has been written about by PROOF (see below; 🔐). Trump’s state co-conspirators helped make it possible. https://t.co/2WFM8xIyhT — PolitiTweet.org
Seth Abramson @SethAbramson
11/ Just so, we’ve all heard about how PA Republicans just made another Trump-conspiring state GOP legislator, Doug Mastriano, their candidate for Governor. So the phrase "pressure campaign" makes it seem Trump was on an island—when in *fact* he headed a large, active conspiracy. — PolitiTweet.org
Seth Abramson @SethAbramson
10/ Remember that Ali Alexander publicly said pre-January 6 that Stop the Steal "owned" the Arizona legislature. His mentor, and the originator of Stop the Steal in Arizona, was actually Mark Finchem—an insurrectionist Oath Keeper and GOP member of the Arizona state legislature. — PolitiTweet.org
Seth Abramson @SethAbramson
9/ While there’s *no doubt* that *some* state GOP legislators faced a weeks-long pressure campaign from multiple directions at once to participate in this coup plot—not just Trump, Ginni Thomas, and Eastman but Ali Alexander pressured them—others were *willing* co-conspirators. — PolitiTweet.org
Seth Abramson @SethAbramson
8/ The "Green Bay Sweep" coup plot co-authored by Ginni Thomas, Peter Navarro, John Eastman, and others—Navarro claims the co-authors were him, Bannon, and Trump—was a "fake elector" plot which would have seen Trump-co-conspirator state legislators certifying fake Trump electors. — PolitiTweet.org
Seth Abramson @SethAbramson
7/ But it’s *far* more complicated—and problematic—to call what Trump did with respect to state *legislative* branch officials a "pressure campaign." I don’t think the facts are quite so pat. Why? Because Trump *did* have state GOP legislators who *wanted* to conspire with him. — PolitiTweet.org
Seth Abramson @SethAbramson
6/ Trump’s public attack on Raffensperger led to death threats against him and Georgia elections official Gabriel Sterling—and of course his private pressure on the former was almost certainly criminal at the state level (Election Interference) and federal level (Election Fraud). — PolitiTweet.org
Seth Abramson @SethAbramson
5/ The term "pressure campaign" *does* apply to Trump’s actions with respect to state *executive* branch officials; as we know, he’s being investigated via grand jury in Georgia for a phone call he made to Raffensperger in early Georgia in which he pressured him to "find" votes. — PolitiTweet.org
Seth Abramson @SethAbramson
4/ Cable news is billing today as the Committee’s attempt to inform Americans about the "pressure campaign" Trump applied to state officials prior to January 6—critically, both state executive branch officials *and* state legislative branch officials. That is a *key* distinction. — PolitiTweet.org
Seth Abramson @SethAbramson
3/ There will be four live witnesses today: the Georgia Secretary of State, Brad Raffensperger, Raffensperger’s deputy, elections official Gabriel Sterling; Rusty Bowers, the Speaker of the Arizona State House of Representatives; and Shaye Morris, a Georgia elections worker. — PolitiTweet.org

@cantfiggeritout The wheels of justice move slow, and when it comes to rich and powerful defendants, some of them are broken entirely. I think we are probably past the point at which we can pretend that we do not understand this. — PolitiTweet.org

@LemieuxDP Good catch! And yes, I try to avoid spelling errors. But it is too late to delete this post, unfortunately, so I will have to live with the shame of a rare typo! — PolitiTweet.org

@CainAislinn I am guided by what can be proven with *evidence*—which is why the media outlet I run is called PROOF. If you have evidence that Donald Trump is still in regular clandestine contact with Vladimir Putin other than your Big Important Feelings, by all means share it with the class. — PolitiTweet.org
