It's become increasingly clear that Trump and his legal team directed an effort to occupy the U.S. Capitol long enough for Trump allies in six states to decertify Joe Biden's 2020 election victory.
Speechless! I hope to God we get all of them and all of you at Proof deserve a Pulitzer. A Nobel Peace Prize for finding the truth about this failed insurrection attempt. this is journalism at its finest and those rat insurrectionist bastards worst nightmare.
The more we learn about this, the more infuriating it becomes. That so many people deny the seriousness of it and/or try to pretend Trump had no prior knowledge makes it even worse. It's like we're living in an episode of 'The Twilight Zone' or something.
Thank you for your in depth investigating and reporting. We've learned so much from your efforts.
Seth, if you are not awarded a Pulitzer Prize for your work, the decision process is broken! Thank you for being an American hero! Incredible work here! And the Ornato thing, in particular, had been driving me crazy. I feel so enlightened now 💡
Seth, if anyone was wondering whether or not you and Proof are worthy of a Pulitzer for your work exposing the truth of January 6th, this amazing article should end all doubts! Thank you for working so hard to save our country and preserve democracy! ❤️
Long time follower, but new subscriber. I just put in my ante so I could read this article (now will have to go back and see what I’ve missed).
Great work assembling and interpreting. I have to believe (for my own sanity) that some former Trump insider will publicly spill the beans and bring receipts. Until then, it’s just another thing he gets away with.
This was act 1. These guys are taking over local commissions, boards, councils, etc. Our country is being eaten alive, from the inside. How to fight such a cancer?
I am another long time follower, new subscriber. Impeccable sourcing. Thanks for all the work you do to bring us all this information. You document what we all suspect, but it is always worse than we think.
Excellent report, Seth! As always, I admire your ability to juggle so many threads while inexorably drawing them into a tight ball aimed straight at the insurrectionist plotters and their foot soldiers.
The other side of this coin of Stop The Steal incitement, organizing, trial by combat, Fight, occupy rhetoric, etc., was the Slowed Response Force at the Pentagon - Miller, Patel, Brother Flynn - to keep the National Guard in check and five lost words - Do Not Enter The Capitol! Repeated over and over. To create a line, a guardrail, not to be crossed or breached. You have shown once again that breaching the Capitol was a line Trump ET al. Intended to cross to effect a coup in plain sight. While you hold back on claiming evidence of intended violence, Trump’s response to the violence at the Capitol, refusing to call off the mob and send in the National Guard, is circumstantial evidence that violence was perfectly acceptable if it helped effect his coup. After all, how many coup since WW II have been bloodless? Their plan was like overturning a chessboard in a match you are losing and then claiming the right to rewrite the rules. I hope your work helps prosecute this entire cabal of Trump conspirators and preserve our republic. Great job once again.
In addition to everything I find unsettling about this, the fact that there were something like 200-300 (more or less) state representatives on a call with Trump and crew okay with this plan and NONE of them said anything (assuming I understand the articles correctly - information overload, brain is full)
I hope the FBI is following all the money paid to these traitors. They're not trying to overthrow our government for ideology. They're doing it for money. Money and power.
I don’t doubt for one second that this coup was absolutely planned. You, Seth, have connected the dots in an extremely detailed yet understandable way. Extremely grateful to you. Thank you.
The problem is there are people who don’t care…they truly believe it is “the people’s house” and they had every right to be there. The details be damned…they don’t understand them anyway. They have no clue what the constitution means.
Reading about this plot creates a weird mix of infuriated & sad feelings. Appreciate the work you do, it must be even more emotionally draining from your pov. Really hope that all this info in the right hands will lead to some actual accountability.

Wow looks like some of that was helpful for you! I have at least one more piece of the puzzle re; Pence, Ornato etc if you would like to know .

Oh Seth!
I have to first say, thank you for this amazing piece of journalism. It was voluminous, but you put everything out there. (perfection)
I was eager to read it. Now, I'm wide awake.
You should include a play list to bring down our heart rates.
