I don't think I will ever get used to the idea that a violent insurrectionist attack breached the Capitol of the United States and almost succeeded in toppling our democracy. It's a surreal absurdity that I had never contemplated and I simply was not prepared for it. There's Russian speakers that were in the mob in the Capitol filling the Russian airwaves with propaganda. Police officers, veterans and sitting politicians were among the violent mob. Everybody knew it was coming but nobody did anything about it and the President refused to send help while he gleefully watched the Capitol attack on tv. And that's just the trailer.
Not even Tom Clancy could come up with a sedition conspiracy and violent insurrection novel with as many story threads as this one.
I imagine this list will grow exponentially in the coming weeks. I'm very appreciative of the fact that you help us keep track and make sense of everything. Your work is probably a chief factor in keeping me sane through all this! Thank you.
Excellent work as per usual Seth, glad to finally be able to financially support (besides buying your books) all the hard work you do all day every day. We both know as these investigations move forward there are going to be some serious allegations, and I hope with your help that they proliferate widely in the MSM and not just on substacks and twitter threads--not to slight them--I just hope that forthcoming evidence is so damning we can just all agree on the facts (naive I get it).
Ha! I had already read or watched every story that appears in this excellent summary of the treachery of 1/6. I just didn't (couldn't) pull it together in a coherent story like this. (Seth, I love your meta-journalism - BTW, is this going to show up in the 4th in the Proof series?)
Thank you, Seth. It’s all terrible - especially #6. How can this document go to Nancy Pelosi, President Biden, and to the media, before the impeachment trial.
Wow, I'm speechless. This whole thing is surreal. I never thought I'd see an attempted coup happen in the US in my lifetime, much less from a president who lost the election.
The crazy thing about it is that it feels like the co-conspirators are being treated significantly differently than I would expect in a situation like this. Is the full force of policing only reserved for civil rights protests? I still can't make sense of some part of it.
That's not the case. I'm seeing continual "requested information"/BOLOs/"FBI wanted" reports on him on national media, including a still of his hooded image.
#46. Representative Cawthorn is the hype-man with with a media reach of 4.5 million views for Objecting to the Electoral College, 222K twitter followers, and is the darling of the TV media (morning, evening: Fox Business, Newsmax, Local News, AON). Newsmax broadcasts in 70 million homes.
Seeing everything compiled so succinctly just makes it more chilling. It’s like when Amy Siskind did the week by week listing of the norms the former President broke in his first year of presidency ... you put it in one place and it just ... takes your breath away.
I certainly hope that leaders are held accountable for this. I'm skeptical because the last four+ years have demonstrated the law is not applied evenly. Rich, powerful, white get away with almost anything.
I really wish you would stop saying how Boebert "revealed Nancy Pelosi’s location during the armed assault on the Capitol." She didn't. She revealed where Nancy Pelosi had left, which is a very different thing.
Tweeting "The Speaker has been removed from the chambers." may be reprehensible, but it doesn't reveal Pelosi's location. Saying so makes you look foolish and makes doubters think everything else you write may be deceptive.

I second Pete.

PS Eugene Goodman is getting a medal!!!

Absolutely chilling. Dems need to ensure this monster sits in JAIL for a long time!

What about the bombs left at the RNC and DNC. No one is talking about them nor the video camera image of the person planting them.

Left outvribo calls from ag attorney group.

Boebert is complicit and was giving out instructions. FULL STOP.
True, but Seth’s statement remains erroneous. Does “FULL STOP” mean that you think it’s okay to lie about what she said?
You're mischaracterizing on purpose...
