Excellent article detailing points I’ve not seen elsewhere.
PS: I subscribed to this substack. It’s the first thing online I’ve subscribed too. Your Twitter threads and books have let me keep my sanity through the last four years. And I’m Canadian.
An excellent description of a "day that will live in infamy moment" wherein a POTUS cackles gleefully at the rabble he has caused to storm the Capitol to stop a free and fair election count from being certified by Congress. That he and his cohorts and fellow conspirators are able to walk freely in public is a burden that American justice may never recover from.
You mentioned Trump family pardons, and I wondered. How credible are the rumors circulating that members of the Trump family and Giuliani may have received a secret Pardon?
Question for Seth: since SCOTUS has effectively decided that emoluments are nonjusticiable - does this have bearing on Trump complaints about whatever smaller magnitude issue Hunter Biden (not Joe) is accused of? Could that be approached as a quasi-emoluments issue, which SCOTUS now says, doesn’t really matter anyway?
I've read several stories that mention in passing Trump meeting with the leader of the Proud Boys a day or two after the Electoral College voted. Has anyone connected this and other meetings Trump had 12/15 & 12/16 with seditionists. The timing would indicate that as soon as the EC gave Trump no relief, work on their contingency plan began. Also, one of the videos I've seen, where guys are using police shields to break a window to get in, one of the mob is yelling something in Russian. A commenter claimed that a guy was yelling "Harder! Harder!" I'm not suggesting the rioters were Russian, but it looks like, in the heat of the moment, someone in the crowd reverted to their native language. Thanks for the great work Seth.
Re the links to possible foreign investment: the possible suicide bitcoin donor may be linked to a French account, but their “suicide note” (in first link) reads like a native “American English” speaker.
Wow! Hope the team can review your work to help them frame the story and events before, during and after the Capitol breaching. Maybe they should have hired you as a consultant! Thank you for organizing this info. Your brain must be exhausted some days!

party formerly known as GOP now defends their leader who led, conspired & incited a seditious traitorous attack on our Capitol & representatives all based on lies meant 2 destroy our electoral system and REPUBLIC! Excellent presentation of fact on what certainly is one of a handful of Days/Infamy.
You are amazingly talented at what you do. Thank you for using your gift to our benefit.

Seth, any thoughts on the fact that Director Wray hasn't held a briefing? Profound gratitude for your brilliant work on this and the past 4 years.

Subscribed. Keep it up, truth is the antidote to Trump and Trumpism.
Great Article Seth. I can’t wait to read the others.

Don’t you love catching liars in their lie? Especially a whopper as big as The Big Lie.

Were those militia with Roger Stone on Jan 5th from the Proud Boys or Oath Keepers?
Adding this 01/26/21 Vice News article about Roger Stone using Oath Keepers as security on Jan 5th, with pix.

Roger Stone speech video linked in this article has been removed from YouTube. Did that happen after you published this?
