Share, share, share. We have to do the heavy lifting to get this out in the public domain.

There are thousands of us subscribers to Proof. If we each commit to dropping links to Seth's articles in 5-10 places/day, we can magnify our voices. Drop them in the replies to sympatico people/blogs. That's how I found Proof. Someone said, "You should check out Seth Abramson's work at Proof" with a link.

Question: based on your info, what people knew it's a big lie and what people are being fed the lie and believed it? For ex: Byrne says an agent informed pence and he was gonna call a 7 day recess, he was on board to over turn the election, but then he was advised otherwise. So was Pence convinced there was election fraud and agreed but then told it was a lie....or did he know from the beginning and feared getting caught? Who were in on the lie and who were being fed the lie?

Seth, it’s mind boggling how close we were. I sure hope the Insurrection Committee has security.

Takes my breath away. Esp. coming out as it did on the same day that we find out a Justice employee wrote an unsolicited memo he tried to get superiors to sign to encourage officials in Georgia to decertify their election results. That this was done on the taxpayer dime without an proper public purpose was mind-boggling enough news for the day and now this!

I am sure that my husband is spinning in his grave and I hope to live long enough to see this matter properly adjudicated!

Share it.

I hope you are sharing this information with the special committee investigating the January 6th insurrection. This is critical info they should be aware of.

You can share it. Start dropping links to Seth's articles everywhere on social media. Call the offices of Adam Kinziger and Eric Swalwell.

I didn’t think we could share as it’s a subscription. I think only Seth can share. I’m not clear on this.

You can absolutely share a link to one of his articles. There are many that are unlocked that anyone can read. You can start with the pinned article at the top of the Jan 6 archive: https://sethabramson.substack.com/p/exclusive-a-comprehensive-overview. I usually mention that, while many articles are locked, there are plenty that aren't. I also mention that for $5 they can unlock the articles for a month to read more. That's what I did, and I was so impressed, I'm still subscribed.

i hope that you have shared this and everything else you do with DOJ. i'm overwhelmed by all of the conspiracy in this and if you can outline this is such staggering detail . . . this is why i still don't sleep. american democracy is in peril. serious peril.

The solution is to share it ourselves with everyone we can. Start providing links to Seth's work everywhere you go on social media.

Any idea why Trump didn't go with the "solution in a can"? I may have missed this in reading. Just curious.

I think he may have believed, up until the morning of January 6, that Pence would do as he had been told to do. I think Trump believed either Pence or the mob would stop the joint session and he would get his 7- or 10-day delay. So from that standpoint, martial law wasn't necessary because any delay in the joint session would quite possibly have led to a four- or five-state GOP-led plot to "de-certify" Biden electors.

Makes sense. Thanks for taking the time to reply.

Wow!

This Sidney Powell nugget goes with the bit you had about her in the unpublished January 6 research piece (where she was being evasive about whether she was appointed a special counsel).

This is insane. Wall to wall coverage of Cuomo and crickets about this article. It's as if people don't give a damn about losing our country forever. That could happen if someone besides you doesn't step up and get rid of the cancer on our democracy! God bless you for trying all these years. Our only prayer is the select committee. The whole damn party needs to be purged.
