🚨BREAKING: Fulton County #Georgia DA Fani Willis is probing @LindseyGrahamSC’s phone call with @GaSecofState Raffensperger as part of a CRIMINAL investigation into Trump’s alleged CRIMINAL attempt to flip the election results.

washingtonpost.com/politics/linds…

🔥During their conversation, Graham asked @GaSecofState whether he had the power to toss out all #MailInBallots in certain counties, Raffensperger told @washingtonpost. He said Graham asked him to improperly find a way to set aside legally cast ballots.

That’s a #felony.🤬

‼️Graham is sitting in judgment on Trump on a charge that cites Trump’s call to Raffensperger, while Graham HIMSELF is a person of interest in a CRIMINAL investigation of his own call to Raffensperger.

Graham must RECUSE.🤬

‼️Video from Parler shows Roger Stone with #Seditionist Proud Boys leaders Enrique Tarrio & Ethan Nordean (aka Rufio Panman)—who allegedly helped plan the Capitol attack—the night before the Dec 12 “Stop The Steal” rally in DC.

ARREST EVERY TRAITOR NOW.🤬

In the video, InfoWars’ Owen Shroyer is standing next to Tarrio & hands Stone the bullhorn. Stone: “We will fight to the bitter end for an honest count of the 2020 election. Never give up, never quit, never surrender, and fight for America!”

#GOPSedition
justsecurity.org/74579/exclusiv…

Tarrio joins Stone and Nordean. Tarrio and Stone engage in an inaudible dialogue as Shroyer continues to rouse the crowd. “We got stabbed in the back by the SCOTUS tonight. This was never their revolution. This is our revolution!”🤬

🚨SEDITION: The rally preceding the #TrumpInsurrection was arranged and funded by a small group, including InfoWars’ Alex Jones and major Trump donor/@Publix heiress, Julie Jenkins Fancelli—who donated $300,000 to bankroll the rally.🤬

#BoycottPublix
wsj.com/articles/jan-6…

Jones personally pledged >$50,000 in seed money for the #sedition rally in exchange for a “top speaking slot of his choice.”

Jones also helped arrange for Fancelli to give ~$300,000—via a top Trump campaign fundraiser—that bankrolled the lion’s share of the $500,000 rally.

Fancelli donated >$980,000 in the 2020 election cycle to a joint account for the Trump campaign and @GOP.

Much worse, she bankrolled the #Sedition rally to protest the election results that kicked off the violent coup attempt at the Capitol.🤬

🚨SEDITION: after top DOJ officials threatened to quit in protest of Trump’s plot to oust Acting AG Rosen, Trump pushed @TheJusticeDept to ask the SCOTUS to invalidate @POTUS Biden’s victory.

Yet another attempt by Trump to overturn the election.🤬

wsj.com/articles/trump…

Trump pressured DOJ to file a baseless lawsuit in SCOTUS—top DOJ officials, including Bill Barr, refused.

Trump also plotted with Jeffrey Clark—acting head of DOJ’s civil division—to replace Acting AG Barr and use DOJ’s power to push #Georgia to overturn the election results.🤬

https://twitter.com/drdenagrayson/status/1352786649420333057

Former Trump admin official: “He wanted us to sue 1 or more of the states directly in the SCOTUS. The pressure got really intense” after SCOTUS dismissed #Texas’ lawsuit. Trump’s lawyer drafted a brief Trump wanted DOJ to file, but officials refused.💥

🚨SEDITION: Trump plotted with Jeffrey Clark—acting head of DOJ’s civil division—to oust & replace Acting AG Rosen & wield DOJ’s power to force #Georgia lawmakers to overturn its election results.

DOJ department heads then said they’d QUIT in protest.
nytimes.com/2021/01/22/us/…

Their resignation pact helped persuade Trump to keep AG Rosen—calculating that a furor over mass resignations at the top of DOJ would eclipse attention on his baseless accusations of voter “fraud.”

IMPEACH TRUMP AGAIN and PROSECUTE HIM CRIMINALLY for #sedition.🤬

#ConvictTrump

😱Trump’s decision not to oust Rosen came only after Rosen and Clark made competing cases to Trump in a bizarre WH meeting that 2 officials compared with an episode of Trump’s reality show “The Apprentice.”

This is the definition of a #SeditiousConspiracy.

ARREST HIM NOW.🤬

🔥Dozens of influential @GOP in DC—including former top Trump administration officials—have been quietly lobbying GOP members of Congress to impeach and #ConvictTrump.

Efforts started with the @HouseGOP, but now are focused on Minority @LeaderMcConnell.

cnn.com/2021/01/22/pol…

“Mitch said to me he wants Trump gone," per 1 @HouseGOP.

The GOP whisper campaign is based on a shared belief that a successful conviction is critical for the future of the GOP, described as a “reckoning.”

The GOP had better face a “reckoning,” after Trump’s #sedition.🤬

The lobbying effort has included behind-the-scenes pressure by GOP donors—#Sedition is bad for business and political fundraising.🤷‍♀️

PLUS calls from former top Trump WH officials and a set of talking points **circulating among Republicans arguing FOR Trump's impeachment**.😎

Both “lone wolves” and QAnon #terrorists—some of whom joined in the Capitol siege—have indicated they plan to go to DC for @JoeBiden’s #Inauguration.

The FBI also observed them downloading & sharing MAPS of sensitive sites in DC & discussing how they could interfere in security

‼️FBI: “QAnon members have discussed posing as National Guard soldiers, believing that it would be easy for them to infiltrate secure areas,” adding that the #Seditionists have been **crowdsourcing images to surveil the security perimeter**.

🚨Members of Trump’s failed campaign played key roles in orchestrating the Washington rally that incited the deadly Capitol assault.

At least 6 were paid THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS just weeks prior to the #TrumpInsurrection.

FOLLOW THE MONEY.🤬

#GOPSedition

apnews.com/article/electi…

A pro-Trump nonprofit group— Women for America First—hosted the 1/6 “Save America Rally,” but the public gathering permit lists >6 people as staff who were paid by Trump’s campaign. Other staff scheduled to be “on site” during the rally have close ties to the WH.🤬

#Sedition

📌At least 1 was working for the Trump campaign THIS MONTH. Megan Powers was listed as 1 of 2 operations managers for the 1/6 rally—her LinkedIn profile says she was the Trump campaign’s director of operations into January 2021.

🚨@WSJ review of thousands of Proud Boys’ posts on Parler, Telegram & Gab—including those now-deleted—show the group repeatedly invoking Trump’s rhetoric prior to the Capitol attack and that they **viewed Trump’s messages as a call to action**.🤬

wsj.com/articles/proud…

‼️Just 3 days before their attack on the Capitol, Enrique Tarrio—leader of the Proud Boys—posted on Telegram: “What if we invade it?”

The first reply read: “January 6th is D day in America.”

Premeditation of their #SeditiousConspiracy to overthrow our government.🤬

@lauferlaw

In December, after Trump tweeted “be there, will be wild,” about the 1/6 rally, the Long Island chapter of the Proud Boys posted that Trump supporters have been “waiting for the green light from the President.”

“Everyone who said ‘Mr. President, just say when?’ He just did.”💥

🚨BREAKING: Dozens of people on @FBI’s #terrorist watch list were in DC for the #TrumpInsurrection.

Those terrorists then tried to overthrow our government.🤬

#GOPSedition
washingtonpost.com/national-secur…’s

The majority of Trump’s terrorists are white supremacists whose past conduct was so alarming that their names had been previously entered into the national Terrorist Screening Database.

And Trump threw gasoline on their raging fire of hate.🤬

#ConvictTrump #TrumpInsurrection

The presence of so many watch-listed #terrorists at the Capitol *without more robust security measures to protect elected leaders, including the @VP* is another example of the intelligence failures preceding the #TrumpCoupAttempt that sent lawmakers running for their lives.🤬

‼️ Donovan Crowl—a 50 yo former @USMC who served as a helicopter mechanic—was among the uniformed #seditionists. While storming the Capitol, he wore a combat helmet, ballistic goggles, and a tactical vest with a handheld radio.

ARREST HIM NOW.🤬

A patch on Crowl’s sleeve identified him as a member of the Oath Keepers, a far-right anti-government group identified as one of the largest and most dangerous extremist groups in the country that's been involved in several armed standoffs with law enforcement in recent years.🤬

Mary McCord, a former acting assistant AG for national security in DOJ, said that while “these types of modern unlawful militias have been around for decades, ever since Ruby Ridge and Waco,” Trump’s incitement had encouraged their #insurrection.🤬

‼️Florida @AGAshleyMoody served on the board of directors of the Rule of Law Defense Fund.

On the eve of the deadly #TrumpInsurrection, the conservative group sent out robocalls urging Trump supporters to join efforts to overturn the election by force.🤬
tampabay.com/news/florida-p…

The Rule of Law Defense Fund is a non-profit arm of the @RepublicanAGs Association and became a key contributor to the #TrumpInsurrection. Alabama AG Steve Marshall, chairman of the group, *blamed the staff* and vowed an investigation.

The rot starts at the TOP.🤬

#GOPSedition

Per @AP, one robocall said: "At 1 pm we will march to the Capitol building and call on Congress to stop the steal. We’re hoping 'patriots' like you will join us to continue to fight to protect the integrity of our elections.”

🚨#Seditionist Audrey Ann Southard—#Florida singer & vocal coach—used her soprano at the #TrumpInsurrection to scream at cops that they should “tell f**king Pelosi we’re coming for her! F**king traitorous c**ts, we’re coming! We’re coming for all of you!”

tampabay.com/life-culture/2…

‼️Just prior to storming the Capitol, #Seditionist Southard posted a now-deleted live video to Facebook: “We’re standing in front of the Capitol building, ready to take it. It’s gonna be fun.”

While pushing a wooden pole with an American flag against an officer’s torso, Southard yelled: “Bulls**t! They’re going to feel us!We’re pushing through. Boys, ready to go again?” she shouted before yelling at an officer, “last breath or last bullet, what’s it going to be?”🤬

“They strategically put 2 IEDs, pipe bombs in 2 different locations. These guys were military trained. A lot of them were former military,” the veteran said, referring to 2 pipe bombs found outside the headquarters of the @DNC and the Republican National Committee.🤬

“I found out what (the terrorists) were planning when a friend of mine screenshot me an Instagram story from the Proud Boys saying, ‘We’re breaching the capitol today, guys. I hope y’all ready.’”

Yet officers were unprepared and then outmanned and overpowered by the violent mob.

“He hasn’t been focused on what is going on with #COVID. He’s either been golfing or he’s been inside the Oval Office fuming...

...and throwing every single person who has been loyal and faithful to him under the bus, starting with the @VP. He only wants to stay there for the title...for his ego. He needs to get out. He needs to do the good thing, but I don’t think he’s capable of doing a good thing.”💥

🚨“Operation Occupy the Capitol"

The seditionists made little secret of their violent plot in Instagram and Facebook posts in December, and there were MANY warning signs on extremist sites and mainstream social media that were ignored by law enforcement.

nbcnews.com/tech/internet/…

On the fringe right-wing site 8kun (popular with QAnon followers), users talked for WEEKS about a "siege of the Capitol," some as if it were a foregone conclusion. Others debated how violent the uprising should be, and if police should be exempt.

This is DOMESTIC TERRORISM.🤬

An 8kun user posted just 1 day before the coup attempt: "You can go to Washington on Jan 6 and help storm the Capitol. As many Patriots as can be. We will storm the government buildings, kill cops, kill security guards, kill federal employees and agents, and demand a recount.”🤬

Lindsey Graham, in a shaky voice, just said essentially it’s been fun being a part of the circus, but the votes are counted and the courts found against The Donald.

“When it’s over it’s over. “Enough is enough,” Senator Graham said, as if suddenly discovering some new, more viable version reality.

People need to hear it from me: “Joe Biden and Kamala Harris are lawfully elected and will become President and Vice President on January 20th.”

Full speech from one of King Shitbird’s most despicable caddies. #TreasonCaucus #GOPSedition
