It's time we started talking about the former president's game plan for the armed insurrection of January 6, as all its details are now public—and they're terrifying.
i think the most important aspect of the failed coup that has not been revealed as yet is the military stand down. no fbi, no US marshalls, no park police, no national guard, etc etc. 45 hatched this plan a long time ago way before the election with flynn, giuliani, stone, prince. the first week after the election when he knew he lost he fired the Defense Sec and installed his 4 stooges. Who investigates the military in this country? who will put Miller et al (including flynn's brother) under oath and get them to squeal. it's clear there was a universal stand down order. can this be traced to 45 directly??? 45 planned, organized, funded, produced, directed the failed coup. As of today, this had not been laid at his feet. America moves way to slowly on the biggest of things.
Totally agree, this was planned from the very first moment Trump started casting doubt on the electoral process. He would have already received enough intel to know his winning the election was not a foregone conclusion, so he started his muddled, but continuous plan to steal a close election a looooong time ago, enlisting the help of people around him, brighter than him (always) who had vested interests in the outcome, to help him do it. They were all along for the ride, sorting out the best strategies together, colluding, for months and months on end, probably even years.
Don't forget his same comments, prior to the 2016 election, that the election was going to be rigged! And with a little help from his buddy Putin who as we are finding out now, (though Mueller gave a heads up in his 2019 testimony to the House Intelligence Committee,) it happened again in this past election. So glad Putin has been put on notice by Biden!
More evidence of an "inside job" at the highest levels of the Pentagon aka President Donald Trump. They purposely gave the mob plenty of time to murder Congress.
During the Jan. 06 melee, Maryland Gov. Larry Hogan (R) said he got a call from House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer (D-Md.), who was in a secure location under police protection. "I was actually on the phone with Leader Hoyer who was pleading with us to send the Guard." But the governor said he was initially stymied: Maj. Gen. Timothy Gowen, the adjutant general of the Maryland National Guard, was REPEATEDLY REBUFFED by the Defense Department. It wasn’t until about 90 MINUTES LATER that the Secretary of the Army called, asking the Maryland guardsmen to come as soon as possible.
Virginia Gov. Ralph Northam (D) also got a call during the attack. "It showed up, 'Nancy Pelosi'. She was really concerned. She said they needed help and I assured her that we had deployed the Guard and we'd sent the Virginia State Police." Northam said he mobilized Virginia National Guard units, but they did not arrive at the Capitol UNTIL THE NEXT MORNING, long after the breach was over.
"These are taxpayer dollars that are being used to pay these police officers and to fund the United States military. Three officials in the line of presidential succession — Pence, Pelosi, Grassley — were all inside the Capitol when it was breached. Taxpayers deserve to know why we were unable to defend the Capitol from attack, why it took only an hour for a handful of ragamuffin, half-armed protesters to enter the building and pose a grave threat to the continuity of American democracy."
Yes, of course, Christopher Miller's infamous memo of January the 4th keeps dropping from media scrutiny, obvs Murdoch-controlled and similar media outlets are in on it, but how is that particular story never gaining traction? Never even on Twitter very much, to me, it is the clearest, most hanging out there like dogs-balls, evidence of a pre-planned coup, and Christopher Miller recently took place in a live to air interview, and the interviewer didn't even question him about it -- it is the BIGGEST mystery to me -- are our twitter feeds being controlled to the point where every time that image starts to gain traction it is somehow blocked from general view? Much like the abuse of the three black women, subsequent sacking, and now refusal by Lindsey Boylan to repeat her claims of sexual misconduct by Cuomo under oath -- every time those stories start to gain traction with 'the people', the next day they seem to be gone from view? Of course I'm aware that Lindsey has ties, however tenuous, to Murdoch media, but can this really infect Twitter in this way? Non-technical, but enquiring minds want to know ... cheers and thanks for your input here
Holy Fuqamoly! Wow! I keep my ! To a minimum but, both were very much warranted. I do also apologize for the expletive..also warranted) Seth, I am astounded by your painstaking ability to detail your work as well as in such a chronologically ordered way that a layperson such as myself can understand. I also appreciate the intelligent, mindful and informative comments from your followers. I take this moment to raise a glass to you 🍷 and your loved ones for your courage, strength and for using your experience and wisdom to bring facts and truth to all who will listen. “Clink” 🍷 Peace to you and yours Brother.
Under oath indeed. Question being will he be charged with perjury? We know he's lied on many accounts, not under oath but he did state on national tv that china was a main player in the disinformation campaign and network hacking. "I've seen the intel reports." The recently released Intel Committee report states otherwise. From trump on down they were all saying china was involved. Deflection extraordinaire.
I agree. Those who are salivating over the prospect of Barr testifying before Congress and having ANY of their questions answered, are setting themselves up for serious disappointment!
Donald Trump's attorney Lin Wood publicly ordered the assassination of V.P. Mike Pence. This was premeditated attempted murder, and a Capitol Police officer died from injuries sustained during the terrorist attack, so this was also premeditated first-degree murder.
I’m also still highly suspicious of my PA state senator, Doug Mastriano’s level of involvement in the coup. He was in with Rudy, & Powell, staging his fake Stop the Steal GOP hearing at the Gettysburg Wyndham on 11/25. Saying, “Let’s not forget 2001, Todd Beamer, ‘Let’s roll,’...invoking the name of the man who joined other passengers to storm the cockpit of United Airlines Flight 93 on 9/11...likening the election to Flight 93’s doomed heroes, saying the country’s survival was at stake.
“You know what? It’s our time to roll. This is our time. The time for dithering and deliberation is over. It’s time for decisive action.” He was interviewed by Steve Bannon on 11/27’s War Room. He next visited w/Trump at the WH on 11/29 to discuss Stopping the Steal & then tested positive for Covid. He then attended the Jericho March on 12/12. He spoke at a 1/5 Hear Us Roar rally in Harrisburg & was also scheduled to speak at the 1/6 Wild Protest event at the US capital. He fund-raised & bused people to the 1/6 rally. He took selfies at the capital that day, but denies participation in the riot. Mastriano is a former US army Col. with 4 masters degrees in military strategy & a PHD in military history, BUT he somehow did not foresee the outcome?? I call BS. I’d love to know when he arrived in DC. He has publicly disavowed the violence, but he sure has spent a lot of time & energy inciting it. He’s been asked to resign, but still hopes to be the next PA governor. I won’t be at all surprised if his name resurfaces in the mix.
Jedi Skywalker, I sincerely appreciate the enthusiasm, and some of the contributions. Just keep in mind that this is supposed to be a discussion; right now 22 of the 41 comments on this post are by you, and I ask you to consider whether that percentage is sustainable if we want this to be a community where dialogue among a large number of persons is encouraged and enabled. As I said, though, I do appreciate the enthusiasm!
In general, I'm skeptical of some of the things reported on. Having said that, as you mentioned elsewhere, these are all really quite obvious facts when you lay them out on the table and look at them as a whole. It would taken an insane amount of things going just right, but clearly there was a plan there. The key is and always has been the sacking of the defense people *after* the election. It was the canary in the coal mine and everyone, including the pentagon, knew it meant he would probably attempt something.
I believe you missed one part of the plan, Seth. I do remember reading/hearing/watching people yell 'where is Nancy/Pence?' They were not trying to have tea with them and sit by an open fire talking shop. I even remember reading about tunnels below being sealed off (I believe by you) and gas deployed. I have a belief that not many Senators would have made it out alive if the crowd found the chamber earlier (I do not like the sound of this, but I have to be honest). What would have happened if most of the two co-equal branches of Government did not make it out? Who would be in charge? What is the back-up plan in that scenario?
I agree. I believe this was a full-blown coup attempt with a plan to kill as many Dems along with Pence and any "weak" Republicans. The gallows on the capitol grounds, the zipties, the yelling for Pelosi and "Hang Pence!" Giuliani's, "trial by combat!" etc. I think this was the plan from the very start.
Thomas Caldwell, a leader of the far-right [fascist] [Nazi] Oath Keepers militia [terrorist] group, helped to organize a ring of other [Nazi] extremists, and led them in the [Jan. 06] attack at the U.S. Capitol. He worked as a Section Chief for the *F.B.I.* after retiring from the U.S. Navy as a Lieutenant Commander. He has held a top-secret security clearance since 1979, which required multiple special background investigations. He also ran a consulting firm that did classified work for the U.S. Government. The [Nazis] Oath Keepers communicated during the attack about where lawmakers were. During the siege, Caldwell received messages that said: "Tom all legislators are down in the Tunnels 3 floors down", "go through back house chamber doors facing N left down hallway down steps", "all members are in the tunnels under the capital", "Seal them in, turn on gas". 💀☠
To me this is the absolute crux of the situation and the fact that it has all but disappeared is baffling. A former Navy Lieutenant/ FBI section chief and current militia national captain getting messages with precise directions being told to seal congress in the tunnels and turn on gas. WTF. Who sent that message? What kind of gas? Was the gas pre-installed or being carried? What happened to the gas? WTF?
I wish I knew more about journalism because the biggest problem for me is that news is not talking about this and I do not understand why Washington Post or NY Times or other would not immediately publish this as an Opinion piece. How do we make them do this?!
Thanks Seth for all this great information. I think I missed the part of Mike Pence having a dinner party at his home. Who attended that dinner party? Thanks.
1) On January 5, the Kenosha police announced that the police officer who shot Jason Blake would not face charges. Given the Kyle Rittenhouse situation and Trump's trip to Kenosha, the charging decision's timing seemed suspicious. (Not saying it was definitely coordinated with WH, but if you wanted to incite riots, this might be a strategy...) policehttps://www.chicagotribune.com/news/breaking/ct-jacob-blake-kenosha-shooting-police-charges-decision-20210104-edxoyst26rbqvl44dyvuf5grvy-story.html
2) On January 5, the WH also released a memo that purported to give SOS authority to designate antifa as a terrorist organization and restrict admittance of anyone associated with antifa. This caught my attention at the time, as it seemed to be akin to an "antifa ban" (like Muslim ban). https://www.rabinowitzrabinowitz.com/2021/01/trump-memo-on-inadmissibility-of-antifa-members/
I can see this. trump's spin, deflect and project campaign in overdrive. His attempt at drawing BLM and Antifa into a confrontation with his 'green army'. More of the division and chaos trump loves to foment.
Okay, this is where I insert my "I'm at a loss" emoji...people keep referring to the acronym "antifa" as some sort of group...I am retired Navy, and I consider my grandfathers, who both fought in WWII, as "antifa". Who is supposedly this group y'all are referring to, in this instance, as "antifa"?
DONALD TRUMP'S ATTORNEY FRIEND FINANCED AND PLANNED THE KENOSHA MURDERS.
In Wisconsin, bail has to be paid in the full cash amount. Kyle Rittenhouse's attorney John Pierce said the $2 MILLION bail came from funds raised by Fight Back, an organization founded by Lin Wood, another Rittenhouse attorney. Wood also credited "NYPD Blue" actor Ricky Schroder and MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell with "putting us over the top". Pierce said former Special Operations [military] service members were hired to provide security for Rittenhouse.
Kyle Rittenhouse is a white supremacist member of the Proud Boys. They recruited him to go to Kenosha to "start the race war" by killing some black people. They figured he could get away with it by being under age 18. This was all planned in advance, which is why the Kenosha PD drove past him without asking questions. They were out celebrating at a bar on the night of Jan. 05, because they knew what was planned for the next day.
Wow. I looked at the 8/31 WaPo piece on Rittenhouse and was struck by the fact that Michael Reineohl was still alive. Several days later (9/3), the feds went in and conducted an extrajudicial killing of Reineohl. (Trump also bragged about it in a speech later.) https://www.nytimes.com/2020/10/13/us/michael-reinoehl-antifa-portland-shooting.html
Attorney General William Barr described Michael Reinoehl as a "violent agitator" and said "the tracking down of Reinoehl – a dangerous fugitive, admitted Antifa member, and suspected murderer – is a significant accomplishment in the ongoing effort to restore law and order to Portland and other cities."
President Donald Trump commended the U.S. Marshals for their "strength" and "bravery". Trump said that Michael Reinoehl was "a violent criminal, and the U.S. Marshals killed him. And I will tell you something, that's the way it has to be. There has to be retribution when you have crime like this." News sources described the statement as appearing to endorse extrajudicial killing.
Donald Trump criticized Portland Police for letting days pass by without arresting Michael Reinoehl, even though he had been quickly identified on social media. Trump stated: "We sent in the U.S. Marshals. It took 15 minutes, it was over. We got him. They knew who he was. They didn't want to arrest him. 15 minutes, that ended."
Michael Reinoehl's killing is under investigation, with witnesses stating that officers opened fire without warning. Out of 22 people who were near him when he was shot, 21 said they did not hear officers issue any commands or identify themselves prior to shooting. Five eyewitnesses said the officers began shooting immediately after arriving on the scene. None of the eyewitnesses interviewed stated that he was holding a weapon. One eyewitness described protecting his eight-year-old child from the gunfire, which he assumed was the work of criminals until he saw the officers' clothing.
Did Mike Pence have a dinner party to reinforce he was going with the hoax for Trump? Or did they plan to harm Pence as a heightened effect for their plan and once Pence got wind he complied with certification ?
Russian Dictator Vladimir Putin ordered KGB FSB to poison (twice) assassinate his Vice President, Vladimir Kara-Murza @VKaraMurza. Similarly, Donald Trump ordered KKK Nazis to assassinate his Vice President, @VP45 @Mike_Pence. This is NOT just a coincidence. It's an ancient fascist tradition called "consolidation of power". For an example, see Adolf Hitler's 1934 "Night of the Long Knives". 💀☠
Mike Pence is a coward, but he's not an idiot. He realized that if he single-handedly refused to certify the electors in a 200+ year tradition, then history would blame him specifically, and the Jan. 06 violence would be immediately directly tied to him, so he smartly certified the electors, allowing the historical and investigative focus to fall on Donald Trump. Your last sentence is very plausible. Trump was likely planning to assassinate Pence for martyrdom reasons, and/or to blame on BLM Antifa, and Pence realized he would be safer under a Biden presidency where Trump couldn't arrest him and "Epstein" him, so he certified the vote and quickly went into hiding for a few weeks. Mike Pence is a coward, but he's not an idiot.

Dude! I respectfully request that you remove your "Reddit-style" spam from this (and others) thread! It really takes away from what the author of these pieces (@SethAbramson) is trying to convey, and the healthy discussion he is trying to promote.
Sorry, but I subcribed to Mr. Abramson's journalism, not yours...thank you.
Check this out...I just came across this by accident doing a quick YouTube search of Alex Jones and Michael Flynn. I think it’s from January 5. Flynn starts around the three hour and 40 minute mark and at the three hour and 50 minute mark he mentions the 10 days that they would need to make the false accusations mentioned in your article. The guy who posted it I was playing Call of Duty LOL and listening to Alex Jones’ show as he did so. https://youtu.be/ZG5wuOMTOJ4
I’ve been also wondering? Where and how does Mike Pompeo fit into all this? Didn’t Mike make an International visit at the tail end of DT’s presidency?
This is one of the most terrifying account I have read. Why has MSM not had blaring headlines? Where's the outrage? It's just over a month and it could be 10 years for all the notice that insurrection on Jan 6 gets.
If there's no consequence, then it will certainly occur again, and it might be successful.
They are in denial. Organizationally, anyway. I keep thinking about what if the FBI has been holding all the Epstein Kompromat since they raided his NYC residence. A seated and former president engaged in bunga bunga along with myriad others. Assuming it does exist, what would the FBI do? Can't charge a seated president with sex crimes, or a former one, that's not.. good for America. Or the FBI. Or the individuals running the investigation. Can't leak the tapes. It's something of a Catch-22. Would they do NOTHING? In that situation, where it wasn't clear what precedent to set, I would do nothing at all. I would wait. Neither confirm nor deny their existence.
Similarly, you've got the seated president dead to rights trying to overthrow the government and but he leaves in 13 days. What do you do? None of the things he did appear to be secrets. His plausible deniability is but one micron thick. But do these facts fundamentally matter? I'm not sure. Do you tell everyone? What happens, then? I definitely want to know the full story.
As for why MSM has no blaring storylines - I think if you look at their covid coverage from a year ago you will see the problem. We have a kind of cultural deficit regarding precautionary principles and the existence of facts. If I tell you that you don't need face masks because the virus isn't airborne but you shouldn't buy them because doctors need them, well, that makes no sense. Asian news outlets were reporting truth. We were reporting a sort of "we aren't going to tell you to be careful until it's already too late" attitude, and now that we have spent a year steadily churning out coronavirus mutations by letting it run rampant throughout our population, they will act surprised when we have lots of more infectious variants.
And this could have been stopped. If they had just reported the same thing the Asians were saying. But I honestly think there isn't anyone at any of the major US news agencies that knows a foreign language.
Anyway you see now, they won't act like this is real until charges are filed, and even then they will take every opportunity to give denialists a chance to cloud the airwaves. It's their format? I'm not sure if they understand what's wrong with their format.
Media corporations are complicit in distorting truth since Donald Trump, reality TV, and then reality America on cable news. It’s all a show for profit and the Kremlin et al. plan to destabilize the country and democracy around the world.
When you said certain people can’t be charged because it would be “bad for America,” yes, because if Americans knew and paid attention to the truth, people might actually use their own voices instead of watching the world die in complacency. It would also be bad for organized crime that’s infiltrated all governments, to varying degrees, to build the elite class who live above all laws. Namely, Epstein. All of this originates with Mogilevich crime ring, which includes participation by the FBI. Mueller and Comey were both loyal to the Kremlin over their own country and it looks like Wray is following in that tradition.
i think the most important aspect of the failed coup that has not been revealed as yet is the military stand down. no fbi, no US marshalls, no park police, no national guard, etc etc. 45 hatched this plan a long time ago way before the election with flynn, giuliani, stone, prince. the first week after the election when he knew he lost he fired the Defense Sec and installed his 4 stooges. Who investigates the military in this country? who will put Miller et al (including flynn's brother) under oath and get them to squeal. it's clear there was a universal stand down order. can this be traced to 45 directly??? 45 planned, organized, funded, produced, directed the failed coup. As of today, this had not been laid at his feet. America moves way to slowly on the biggest of things.

It's coming! :)

Well, he did dodge Kamala Harris' question pretty well; she had him dead to rights and he refused to answer. We know what the [correct] answer is/was.
curious which detail of this diabolical plan spooked barr such that he felt the best way out was to resign...

Thomas Caldwell, a leader of the far-right [fascist] [Nazi] Oath Keepers militia [terrorist] group, helped to organize a ring of other [Nazi] extremists, and led them in the [Jan. 06] attack at the U.S. Capitol. He worked as a Section Chief for the *F.B.I.* after retiring from the U.S. Navy as a Lieutenant Commander. He has held a top-secret security clearance since 1979, which required multiple special background investigations. He also ran a consulting firm that did classified work for the U.S. Government. The [Nazis] Oath Keepers communicated during the attack about where lawmakers were. During the siege, Caldwell received messages that said: "Tom all legislators are down in the Tunnels 3 floors down", "go through back house chamber doors facing N left down hallway down steps", "all members are in the tunnels under the capital", "Seal them in, turn on gas". 💀☠

To me this is the absolute crux of the situation and the fact that it has all but disappeared is baffling. A former Navy Lieutenant/ FBI section chief and current militia national captain getting messages with precise directions being told to seal congress in the tunnels and turn on gas. WTF. Who sent that message? What kind of gas? Was the gas pre-installed or being carried? What happened to the gas? WTF?
I wish I knew more about journalism because the biggest problem for me is that news is not talking about this and I do not understand why Washington Post or NY Times or other would not immediately publish this as an Opinion piece. How do we make them do this?!
Thanks Seth for all this great information. I think I missed the part of Mike Pence having a dinner party at his home. Who attended that dinner party? Thanks.
A few more tidbits...
1) On January 5, the Kenosha police announced that the police officer who shot Jason Blake would not face charges. Given the Kyle Rittenhouse situation and Trump's trip to Kenosha, the charging decision's timing seemed suspicious. (Not saying it was definitely coordinated with WH, but if you wanted to incite riots, this might be a strategy...) policehttps://www.chicagotribune.com/news/breaking/ct-jacob-blake-kenosha-shooting-police-charges-decision-20210104-edxoyst26rbqvl44dyvuf5grvy-story.html
2) On January 5, the WH also released a memo that purported to give SOS authority to designate antifa as a terrorist organization and restrict admittance of anyone associated with antifa. This caught my attention at the time, as it seemed to be akin to an "antifa ban" (like Muslim ban). https://www.rabinowitzrabinowitz.com/2021/01/trump-memo-on-inadmissibility-of-antifa-members/
Meanwhile, the Proud Boys were already signaling intent to create "false flag" narrative involving antifa. https://www.businessinsider.com/proud-boys-attend-january-6-dc-rally-incognito-all-black-2021-1.
I can see this. trump's spin, deflect and project campaign in overdrive. His attempt at drawing BLM and Antifa into a confrontation with his 'green army'. More of the division and chaos trump loves to foment.
Okay, this is where I insert my "I'm at a loss" emoji...people keep referring to the acronym "antifa" as some sort of group...I am retired Navy, and I consider my grandfathers, who both fought in WWII, as "antifa". Who is supposedly this group y'all are referring to, in this instance, as "antifa"?
DONALD TRUMP'S ATTORNEY FRIEND FINANCED AND PLANNED THE KENOSHA MURDERS.
In Wisconsin, bail has to be paid in the full cash amount. Kyle Rittenhouse's attorney John Pierce said the $2 MILLION bail came from funds raised by Fight Back, an organization founded by Lin Wood, another Rittenhouse attorney. Wood also credited "NYPD Blue" actor Ricky Schroder and MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell with "putting us over the top". Pierce said former Special Operations [military] service members were hired to provide security for Rittenhouse.
https://www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2020/11/20/kenosha-shooting-rittenhouse-bail/
Kyle Rittenhouse is a white supremacist member of the Proud Boys. They recruited him to go to Kenosha to "start the race war" by killing some black people. They figured he could get away with it by being under age 18. This was all planned in advance, which is why the Kenosha PD drove past him without asking questions. They were out celebrating at a bar on the night of Jan. 05, because they knew what was planned for the next day.

Wow. I looked at the 8/31 WaPo piece on Rittenhouse and was struck by the fact that Michael Reineohl was still alive. Several days later (9/3), the feds went in and conducted an extrajudicial killing of Reineohl. (Trump also bragged about it in a speech later.) https://www.nytimes.com/2020/10/13/us/michael-reinoehl-antifa-portland-shooting.html
Attorney General William Barr described Michael Reinoehl as a "violent agitator" and said "the tracking down of Reinoehl – a dangerous fugitive, admitted Antifa member, and suspected murderer – is a significant accomplishment in the ongoing effort to restore law and order to Portland and other cities."

President Donald Trump commended the U.S. Marshals for their "strength" and "bravery". Trump said that Michael Reinoehl was "a violent criminal, and the U.S. Marshals killed him. And I will tell you something, that's the way it has to be. There has to be retribution when you have crime like this." News sources described the statement as appearing to endorse extrajudicial killing.

Donald Trump criticized Portland Police for letting days pass by without arresting Michael Reinoehl, even though he had been quickly identified on social media. Trump stated: "We sent in the U.S. Marshals. It took 15 minutes, it was over. We got him. They knew who he was. They didn't want to arrest him. 15 minutes, that ended."

https://www.nytimes.com/2020/10/15/us/elections/we-got-him-trump-cheers-the-killing-of-an-antifa-activist.html
Michael Reinoehl's killing is under investigation, with witnesses stating that officers opened fire without warning. Out of 22 people who were near him when he was shot, 21 said they did not hear officers issue any commands or identify themselves prior to shooting. Five eyewitnesses said the officers began shooting immediately after arriving on the scene. None of the eyewitnesses interviewed stated that he was holding a weapon. One eyewitness described protecting his eight-year-old child from the gunfire, which he assumed was the work of criminals until he saw the officers' clothing.

Thanks!
BINGO Spot on You are a treasure Seth.
Did Mike Pence have a dinner party to reinforce he was going with the hoax for Trump? Or did they plan to harm Pence as a heightened effect for their plan and once Pence got wind he complied with certification ?
Russian Dictator Vladimir Putin ordered KGB FSB to poison (twice) assassinate his Vice President, Vladimir Kara-Murza @VKaraMurza. Similarly, Donald Trump ordered KKK Nazis to assassinate his Vice President, @VP45 @Mike_Pence. This is NOT just a coincidence. It's an ancient fascist tradition called "consolidation of power". For an example, see Adolf Hitler's 1934 "Night of the Long Knives". 💀☠
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Night_of_the_Long_Knives
Mike Pence is a coward, but he's not an idiot. He realized that if he single-handedly refused to certify the electors in a 200+ year tradition, then history would blame him specifically, and the Jan. 06 violence would be immediately directly tied to him, so he smartly certified the electors, allowing the historical and investigative focus to fall on Donald Trump. Your last sentence is very plausible. Trump was likely planning to assassinate Pence for martyrdom reasons, and/or to blame on BLM Antifa, and Pence realized he would be safer under a Biden presidency where Trump couldn't arrest him and "Epstein" him, so he certified the vote and quickly went into hiding for a few weeks. Mike Pence is a coward, but he's not an idiot.
More evidence of an "inside job" at the highest levels of the Pentagon aka President Donald Trump. They purposely gave the mob plenty of time to murder Congress.
During the Jan. 06 melee, Maryland Gov. Larry Hogan (R) said he got a call from House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer (D-Md.), who was in a secure location under police protection. "I was actually on the phone with Leader Hoyer who was pleading with us to send the Guard." But the governor said he was initially stymied: Maj. Gen. Timothy Gowen, the adjutant general of the Maryland National Guard, was REPEATEDLY REBUFFED by the Defense Department. It wasn’t until about 90 MINUTES LATER that the Secretary of the Army called, asking the Maryland guardsmen to come as soon as possible.
Virginia Gov. Ralph Northam (D) also got a call during the attack. "It showed up, 'Nancy Pelosi'. She was really concerned. She said they needed help and I assured her that we had deployed the Guard and we'd sent the Virginia State Police." Northam said he mobilized Virginia National Guard units, but they did not arrive at the Capitol UNTIL THE NEXT MORNING, long after the breach was over.
"These are taxpayer dollars that are being used to pay these police officers and to fund the United States military. Three officials in the line of presidential succession — Pence, Pelosi, Grassley — were all inside the Capitol when it was breached. Taxpayers deserve to know why we were unable to defend the Capitol from attack, why it took only an hour for a handful of ragamuffin, half-armed protesters to enter the building and pose a grave threat to the continuity of American democracy."
~ Sen. Chris Murphy (D-CT)

Not sure when VA Guard first entered the District. Check notes
Dude! I respectfully request that you remove your "Reddit-style" spam from this (and others) thread! It really takes away from what the author of these pieces (@SethAbramson) is trying to convey, and the healthy discussion he is trying to promote.
Sorry, but I subcribed to Mr. Abramson's journalism, not yours...thank you.
Thanks for your work Seth. It's good to know we have people like you out there who are really on the ball and moving it toward the goal line! :)
Check this out...I just came across this by accident doing a quick YouTube search of Alex Jones and Michael Flynn. I think it’s from January 5. Flynn starts around the three hour and 40 minute mark and at the three hour and 50 minute mark he mentions the 10 days that they would need to make the false accusations mentioned in your article. The guy who posted it I was playing Call of Duty LOL and listening to Alex Jones’ show as he did so. https://youtu.be/ZG5wuOMTOJ4
I’ve been also wondering? Where and how does Mike Pompeo fit into all this? Didn’t Mike make an International visit at the tail end of DT’s presidency?
This is one of the most terrifying account I have read. Why has MSM not had blaring headlines? Where's the outrage? It's just over a month and it could be 10 years for all the notice that insurrection on Jan 6 gets.
If there's no consequence, then it will certainly occur again, and it might be successful.
They are in denial. Organizationally, anyway. I keep thinking about what if the FBI has been holding all the Epstein Kompromat since they raided his NYC residence. A seated and former president engaged in bunga bunga along with myriad others. Assuming it does exist, what would the FBI do? Can't charge a seated president with sex crimes, or a former one, that's not.. good for America. Or the FBI. Or the individuals running the investigation. Can't leak the tapes. It's something of a Catch-22. Would they do NOTHING? In that situation, where it wasn't clear what precedent to set, I would do nothing at all. I would wait. Neither confirm nor deny their existence.
Similarly, you've got the seated president dead to rights trying to overthrow the government and but he leaves in 13 days. What do you do? None of the things he did appear to be secrets. His plausible deniability is but one micron thick. But do these facts fundamentally matter? I'm not sure. Do you tell everyone? What happens, then? I definitely want to know the full story.
As for why MSM has no blaring storylines - I think if you look at their covid coverage from a year ago you will see the problem. We have a kind of cultural deficit regarding precautionary principles and the existence of facts. If I tell you that you don't need face masks because the virus isn't airborne but you shouldn't buy them because doctors need them, well, that makes no sense. Asian news outlets were reporting truth. We were reporting a sort of "we aren't going to tell you to be careful until it's already too late" attitude, and now that we have spent a year steadily churning out coronavirus mutations by letting it run rampant throughout our population, they will act surprised when we have lots of more infectious variants.
And this could have been stopped. If they had just reported the same thing the Asians were saying. But I honestly think there isn't anyone at any of the major US news agencies that knows a foreign language.
Anyway you see now, they won't act like this is real until charges are filed, and even then they will take every opportunity to give denialists a chance to cloud the airwaves. It's their format? I'm not sure if they understand what's wrong with their format.
Media corporations are complicit in distorting truth since Donald Trump, reality TV, and then reality America on cable news. It’s all a show for profit and the Kremlin et al. plan to destabilize the country and democracy around the world.
When you said certain people can’t be charged because it would be “bad for America,” yes, because if Americans knew and paid attention to the truth, people might actually use their own voices instead of watching the world die in complacency. It would also be bad for organized crime that’s infiltrated all governments, to varying degrees, to build the elite class who live above all laws. Namely, Epstein. All of this originates with Mogilevich crime ring, which includes participation by the FBI. Mueller and Comey were both loyal to the Kremlin over their own country and it looks like Wray is following in that tradition.
