Long thread: Because I couldn’t find anything comprehensive, I’m just going to post everything I’ve seen in the news/Twitter about Trump’s activities related to the Jan 6th insurrection. I think the timing & context of his actions/inactions will matter a lot for a senate trial.

12/12: The earlier DC protest over the electoral college vote during clearly inspired Jan 6th. On Dec 12th, he tweeted: “Wow! Thousands of people forming in Washington (D.C.) for Stop the Steal. Didn’t know about this, but I’ll be seeing them! #MAGA.” https://t.co/GiiCoFXdhl
12/19: Trump announces the Jan. 6th event by tweeting, “Big protest in D.C. on January 6th. Be there, will be wild!” Immediately, insurrectionists begin to discuss the “Wild Protest.” Just 2 days later, this UK political analyst predicts the violence https://t.co/pZDJl70eT6
12/26-27: Trump announces his participation on Twitter. On Dec. 29, the FBI sends out a nationwide bulletin warning legislatures about attacks https://t.co/Lgl4yk5aO1
1/1: Trump tweets the time of his protest. Then he retweets “The calvary is coming” on Jan. 6!” Sounds like a war? About this time, the FBI begins visiting right wing extremists to tell them not to go--does the FBI tell the president? https://t.co/3OxnB2AHdr
The violent imagery used throughout the promotion of this event needs a whole separate thread.
1/2: Trump called GA Gov. Kemp to pressure him to “find” votes for him to win. The same day, theDonald site users are openly calling for civil war on Jan 6th. Here’s the post that prompted an FBI intelligence report in VA a few days later. https://t.co/wLn59XMezR
1/5: Trump sends a series of tweets promoting the rally the next day and touting “thousands of people pouring into D.C.” as a way to dissuade “weak Republicans” from accepting the results of the election.
1/5: Trump tweets at various law enforcement, intelligence, and military agencies that he supposedly oversees about the threat from “Antifa.” At the same time, a VA FBI Office warns of a “war” at the Capitol from the far right starting the next day. https://t.co/RWQ9B2r6MX
1/6, 1:00am: Trump stays up until well after midnight tweeting that Pence can overturn the election the next day.
1/6, 8:06am: Trump is awake again and hate-watching MSNBC
1/6, 8:17: Trump continues to pressure Pence to overturn the election via Twitter:
1/6, 11:54am: Trump and Trump Jr and family are waiting for Trump to take the stage to address about 8,000 insurrectionists, pre-insurrection, at the Ellipse outside the White House https://t.co/4tAhZeoqQT
Question that I haven’t found reporting on: How much did Trump & his team know about the threats when he went ahead with his participation? Were concerns ignored or never raised? The FBI is telling extremists not to come, but not warning the president not to call for them?
1/6, 12:00-12:17pm: Trump begins his speech. At 12:17, he says that he will march with the rioters to the Capitol to demand the election be overturned. https://t.co/cUohC9JgRb
Trump/the White House apparently did not tell anyone at least in federal law enforcement that he was going to order a march to the Capitol following the speech. Was this intentional? https://t.co/QIm1sdmAz3
1/6, 12:18: Immediately after ordering the march to the capitol, Trump says you can never take back the country with weakness. https://t.co/Da2aVbHstu
1/6, 12:54pm: Trump is still reciting his normal lies about the election to the rest of the protesters a mile away as some protesters who left when Trump first said to walk arrive at the Capitol & immediately attack the Capitol police https://t.co/kk7sTvH4Ly
1/6, 1:11pm: Trump ends the speech by telling his supporters to join those who are now already inside the barricades around the Capitol fighting with the police https://t.co/H4UBETd1rp
1/6, 1:19pm: Trump returns in his motorcade to the White House. A key moment: He promised the crowd he would go to the Capitol. Was that really an open plan? Did he lie? Or did he hear about the ongoing rioting & decide against it after the speech? https://t.co/BFbtaP7EmP
According to the AP, Trump attending the riot was “discussed” by “the White House” but “abandoned” but who was involved and did this happened before or after the speech? Maybe other reporting has clarified this? https://t.co/jGn7PVYnYS
1/6, ~1:25: Back in the White House, Trump turns on the TV to watch the riots
https://t.co/1nW346QhRt
At that point, the insurrectionists look like they are still believing that Trump might be with them! https://t.co/BrFurVwebV
1/6, 1:49: Trump is tweeting a video of his speech starting the riot, which includes all the false justifications for the attack! About this time (or earlier), the Capitol Police makes the request for immediate assistance from the D.C. National Guard.
1/6, ~2:13: Congress suspends action, and Trump is apparently “enthusiastic” that the riot might stop the vote, exactly what he wanted! https://t.co/WSogQSHnQy
1/6, ~2:15: Trump calls Sen. Lee looking for Sen. Tuberville to sure up votes to overturn the election. Presumably, Sen. Lee thought Trump wanted to discuss how to stop the attack on the Capitol, not how to aid it https://t.co/dGxXlvoj6s
1/6, ~2:20: After rioters break into the capitol, Trump is watching TV, “enjoying the spectacle”
https://t.co/CNpBC9aetG
1/6, ~2:20: As chaos overtakes the Capitol, aides are telling senators that Trump is walking around the White House “delighted” with the situation and is “confused” why everyone else isn’t on board with the insurrection https://t.co/eqSdGylNqX
1/6, 2:24: Trump tweets an unhinged condemnation of VP Pence--even as the insurrectionists are just a few feet away from getting to him. His tweet provokes a scramble to find him by the insurrectionists inside the Capitol
https://t.co/BE5n0k0XlW https://t.co/LQMGPHWhEb
1/6, 2:38: After the insurrectionists seize control, Trump aides finally convince him to tweet about it, but only to say “stay” peaceful (as if they already were) and refuses to tell them to leave the Capitol--he didn’t even want to say “stay peaceful” https://t.co/CNpBC9aetG
1/6, ~2:45: Trump resists requests to act on the request to bring up the National Guard. Ultimately, VP Pence does so even without the legal authority to do so! https://t.co/4QJrxzYGXC https://t.co/K4ozkjimOK
1/6, ~2:55: Trump talks to GOP House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy on the phone. McCarthy yells at Trump for refusing to take action. This conversation where Trump showed contempt for his life probably led McCarthy to blame Trump for the riot. https://t.co/a5E6HbXxwS
1/6, ~3:00: Trump is conferring with the world’s worst group of “advisors” about the situation. We know that this same group thought the entire situation was overblown by the media even the next day after everything! https://t.co/4QJrxzYGXC https://t.co/tgehnEVhZD
1/6, 3:13: Trump tweets to ask everyone “at the U.S. Capitol” (not inside attacking it) to “remain peaceful” (again, as if they were). Not to tell them to leave the capitol and stop attacking it! Rep Gallegher tweets a vid hiding in his office urging the president to call it off
1/6, ~3:45-4:17: Trump goes outside of the White House to film three takes of a video telling the “very special” insurrectionists to go home, while noting that he “loves” them. What's in the other takes? He goes inside and tweets the video at 4:17 https://t.co/CNpBC9aetG
1/6, 6:01pm: After the Capitol is secured, Trump tweets what amounts to his thanks to the insurrectionists telling them to go home and “remember this day,” revealing publicly for the first time that he believed their actions were worth remembrance.
1/6, 7pm: Giuliani calls Sen. Lee leaving a message intended for Sen. Tuberville about trying to prevent Congress from voting. Basically the same as Trump’s phone call earlier in the day. There’s reason to believe that Trump was behind this effort as well https://t.co/8D7CkvPkUv
1/7, 7:10pm: It was not until Thursday night that Trump posted a video conceding the election and that a new administration will take office. Yet he immediately regretted doing so. https://t.co/CNpBC9aetG
Questions: what did Trump know about extremists attending his speech? When/why did Trump decide against going to the Capitol? Who else was Trump calling during the riot? What're in the other takes of the video? Will anyone testify? Will Pence?
https://t.co/GCqGOdt8nh
There were also a huge number of phone calls going out to Trump, his aides & family. I didn't list them all, but having a full account of how Trump ignored all his "friends" during the crisis would be important as well.
Did Trump know his supporters saw him as backing their move? Even if he never saw analysis like this one below (because he distrusts and refuses to take meetings with his intel services), doesn't that failure only further support the case against him? https://t.co/uYOSaw2Aw4

More from Trump

OK, #Squidigation fans, I think we need to talk about the new Wisconsin suit Donald Trump filed - personally - in Federal Court last night. The suit is (as usual) meritless. But it's meritless in new and disturbing ways. This thread will be


Not, I hope, Seth Abramson long. But will see.

I apologize in advance to my wife, who would very much prefer I be billing time (today's a light day, though) and to my assistant, to whom I owe some administrative stuff this will likely keep me from 😃

First, some background. Trump's suit essentially tries to Federalize the Wisconsin Supreme Court complaint his campaign filed, which we discussed here.


If you haven't already, go read that thread. I'm not going to be re-doing the same analysis, and I'm not going to be cross-linking to that discussion as we go. (Sorry, I like you guys, and I see this as public service, but there are limits)

Also, @5DollarFeminist has a good stand-alone thread analyzing the new Federal complaint - it's worth reading as well, though some of the analysis will overlap.
1. @NYGovCuomo became a pandemic star by contrasting himself with Trump

Cuomo crafted an IMAGE of being determined, honest and grounded in science

But 11 months later this image is falling apart

Follow along for a FACTUAL assessment of Cuomo's

2. Cuomo WROTE A BOOK, published in October, celebrating his own leadership during the pandemic.

Cuomo writes that NY had "confronted and defeated" the virus, and had "achieved what all the experts told us was impossible."

Today, things look

3. Today, New York has 338 people hospitalized with COVID per million residents.

This is the HIGHEST NUMBER IN ANY STATE by a considerable margin.

https://t.co/Hl4fsFxB6l


4. Overall, 46K New Yorkers have died of COVID, which trails only California (47K), a state with 2x as many people.

On a per capita basis, New York has had more deaths than every state but New Jersey.

Cuomo made decisions that made things

5. A new report by NY AG Letitia James (D) found Cuomo's order requiring nursing homes to accept residents w/COVID "may have put residents at increased risk of harm"

Cuomo dismissed criticisms of his nursing home policies in his book as
