Holy shit. That was a very impressive pooling of information. I'm blown away every time you put out a piece like this. If the Jan 6th committee isn't using your reporting as a basis for their investigative course, they are failing America. Indictments can not come fast enough. As I always note, history will credit people like yourself for literally helping to save our democracy if it is indeed saved. So yeah, no pressure.... You deserve far more then the hate you get from the right as you expose them and the few bucks a month we all chip in.

I just upgraded my subscription, it's the least I can do.

I’m amazed at how blatantly and obviously connected every one of these “ratf***ers” are. I try to explain the orchestration (to anyone that will listen) and they look at me like I’m crazy…like I’m a loon conspiracy theorist from the other side…and that’s exactly why the MSM doesn’t report on it…it’s so complicated and unbelievable, and the analytical skills of your average American is zero. Worse yet is the apathy I’ve encountered.

I do believe that the J6 committee is reading every word of your work. They would be remiss if they didn’t. Not since Watergate have we seen “freedom of the press” more important in American politics than we do today. And your work, Seth, has been instrumental in what is being uncovered. Thank you.

There are so many layers to all of this, it feels like a Russian nesting doll...appropriately enough, I suppose.

Is corruption fatigue a thing? So tired of these people.

As always, amazing work, Seth.

The focus on “loyalists” in key national security leadership positions was and remains incredibly troubling.

The article’s closer with regards to Justice Thomas’ lone vote against allowing the release of T’s records is a direct hit.

If he had any honor, Justice Thomas would retire to “spend time with his family”.

Will Ginni T. be subpoenaed? How could she not be?

Dear Lord, I’m not sure I can pick my jaw up off the floor here Seth. How … how …how can we collectively counter the enormous tsunami of wickedness aimed at crippling our democracy? How big is the DOJ? Also, these people are dangerous. The more they are exposed the more dangerous it will become.

I’m amazed at how you piece all this together and are able to keep untangling this web of conspiracy. Hope the HJ6 committee takes your info and investigates further, issuing at a minimum subpoenas to Leeden and Thomas for questioning.

It sounds like the Mercers were still choosing political appointments. As Seth says, read Jane Mayers Dark Money, it explains so much more and is also mortifying. I hope we see some justice served.

It's Projection.... After reading this, I firmly believe that their cries of a "Deep State" is total Projection, just like most everything else the smear others with.

If anyone controls a 'Deep State' across and within US government institutions, it's the authoritarian/fascist Right.... including the GOP and it's politicians, and not just the ones who visited pUtin on July 4th.

I'll never understand how all this entire ball of wax has escaped the CIA, NSA, FBI, DOJ etc, etc. All of it... everything in the "Proof Of" best sellers series of books, this 'Proof' Substack, what Foreign Intelligence Agencies know, usw.

The seeds of this whole thing are at _minimum_ a decade old. I just don't get it...

Holy smokes! This will take more than one reading to absorb this information. Thank you for all your hard work putting all the pieces of the puzzle in place (with more to come).

Thanks for what you do, Seth. This is breath- taking and I’m still trying to wrap by brain around it.

Famous quote attributed to Karl Rove, with one important adjustment indicated below: "The aide said that guys like me [Suskind] were "in what we call the reality-based community," which he defined as people who "believe that solutions emerge from your judicious study of discernible reality." I nodded and murmured something about enlightenment principles and empiricism. He cut me off. "That's not the way the world really works anymore," he continued. "We're an DICTATORSHIP [empire] now, and when we act, we create our own reality. And while you're studying that reality — judiciously, as you will — we'll act again, creating other new realities, which you can study too, and that's how things will sort out. We're history's actors ... and you, all of you, will be left to just study what we do." [The New York Times Magazine]"

What if Karl Rove was right about the reality-based community?

Does reality matter in politics?

It turns out Trump isn't as smart as I thought he was given the brains needed to orchestrate this decades long attempt to overthrow of the United States Government. It's been Ginni Thomas all along. She's been Trump's Joseph Goebbels. Now the big question is, who's behind Ginni Thomas?

The Ledeens have been dirty quite a long while. There were heavy hitters on former guy's team -- the Nation dodged a deathblow to democracy on 1/6. Great work & tysvm for doing this
