According to a report in the Washington Post, allies and lawyers employed by Donald Trump set up what was called a "command center" in a Washington D.C. hotel the week of the Jan 6th Capitol riot from which they coordinated efforts to overturn the 2020 presidential election.

The report states that the center headquartered at the Willard Hotel became home to Rudy Giuliani, Steve Bannon and John Eastman -- the attorney behind the now notorious "coup memo -- among others.

According to the report, while the "Stop the Steal" rally and the ensuing riot was the most visible effort to stop the certification, "...an emerging picture of a less visible effort, mapped out in memos by a conservative pro-Trump legal scholar and pursued by a team of presidential advisers and lawyers seeking to pull off what they claim was a legal strategy to reinstate Trump for a second term," at the hotel.

2. I believe Seth Abramson wrote about this at the time and some here didn't believe him

Looks as though he was right.

6. All Abramson reported was date, place and names of some attendees

Abramson had no sourcing for the details of the meeting, only the purpose-WaPo has provided new info in that area.

This will be fun to hear the interrogation at the committee hearings.

7. Abramson broke the story using forensic, curatorial journalism.

It is surprising that The Willard wasn't staked out by MSM at that time to see who was coming and going.

But it was Abramson who got the goods and kept after it. Bit by bit by bit.

It's time for people to stop dissing him. Those of us who follow him have known about the War room for months and months now. When Liz Cheney mentioned the event, we thought "Aha. Seth Abramson."

8. OAN was in the room.

And there was a videographer. (Presumably from OAN.)

Waiting, waiting, waiting to hear about the seizure of that video evidence.
