1. I mentioned this on DU and was told there wasn't any sources to back it up

I thought well, what if he IS the source. Watched what was happening in real time.

7. I have also followed Seth for a few years now

He has dug up a lot of very good information and he is only now getting the recognition of his work.

[Kid Berwyn]

30. That bothered me greatly.

Somehow the source became the issue, not the fact theses traitors were organized and active.

[triron]

31. Well said.

[Cha]

2. Rt TY!

3. Some of Abrams' photos. Anyone heard about Joe Oltmann? He was there, named it "command center."

Other than that I know nothing about him. (sorry I can't get all the photos up)

4. If there was free booze....

you can bet Ghouliani was there. He does his best thinking when he's plastered. Or at least he thinks he does.

8. Seems there are plenty of google hits for him

5. excellent question. The "MSM" is not reporting reaallly important stories. Do they really know the

ramifications of this? We lose democracy and they will be eliminated if 45 gets re-whatever. "MSM" will cease to be.

[ancianita]

6. Exactly. I've pointed out your excellent observation that MSM hasn't thought their strategy through,

that authoritarian minority ruled governments get rid of pesky journalists and media that hadn't been loyal all along.

[Evolve Dammit]

10. It's what autocracies do. They are still promoting him by coverage daily. More than Biden. $$

Just profits. Fuck the truth. Sorry, but it's just gross. Aside from a few shows, it's woefully lacking in actual reporting. I find "Democracy Now" the best radio news source presently. Still love Rachel, and the MSNBC lineup on cable.

15. need a big fly - swatter!

23. If they had principles or moral values,

they would do a better job of reporting now. Since they don't have principles, they would easily adjust to a dictatorial regime and gleefully report only what was approved.

[Rebl2]

19. I have

thought that too, so guess they are okay with government run news media and not being allowed to report on what they want.

[Evolve Dammit]

25. or worse. Authoritarians target actual journalists who report the truth.

[Rebl2]

26. Exactly

[moniss]

9. As always the

MSM will be way behind the curve. It still boggles me that with huge stories going on in South America etc. that we see little to no coverage and certainly nothing in-depth or sustained for a period.

[wnylib]

24. They are stuck at the middle school stage of

emotional, psychological, and intellectual development, reporting on the latest gossip stories. There aren't enough neurons between them to produce an in depth thought.

[triron]

27. That good?

[moniss]

34. That is

so well put. Thank you.

[gab13by13]

11. It seems to me,

that the MSM isn't the one dropping the ball. Everything we are learning about the coup has come from reporters.

MY QUESTION ONCE AGAIN, where is our DOJ? We don't have a clue if it is even investigating an attack on our democracy.

8 months ago yet no word of any grand jury hearings.

Malcolmb Nance was just on Joy and he said the same thing that I just said, "I hope that DOJ is investigating this."

[maxsolomon]

13. did they do anything illegal?

if they were just "planning the rally"?

[DickKessler]

21. I want to know specifically WHAT was discussed. Was any violent/criminal action discussed?

If investigators can't find that or other clear documentary evidence, then it'd be hard to prove any criminal conspiracy.

They would need to be able to demonstrate not just clear and convincing links from the Capitol attackers to Trump, his staffers, and Republican Congressmembers, but also that Trump, his staffers, and the Republican Congressmembers knew that they intended violent and criminal activity within the Capitol and either failed to prevent it, or worse, actively encouraged it.

I think this would be hard to prove, but I'm not a a lawyer or anything like that so eh...

[NewJeffCT]

22. well, the info on the coup has been scattered

over the months and from different sources. Abramson does a good job putting it all together in an organized fashion.

[Fiendish Thingy]

12. Abramson only reported the date, place and names of some attendees

He didn’t have any sourced info on the details of the meetings.

[PurgedVoter]

14. Willardgate

Gotta give it the name if you want traction. This make is real to those folk that can only real headlines.

[monkeyman1]

16. catch 'y -TFG - WILLARDGATE ! Nixon -Watergate ! has a ring to it !

[reACTIONary]

17. I don't understand...

.... Abramson claims to be engaged in "curated journalism". This means his self described modus operandi is to cull through other reporters' stories and to "connect the dots" based on them. So I would expect that for the last eight months there has been a lot of news reports concerning the Willard war room that he based his own reporting on.

Did he do original reporting in this case? Or was he doing his typical cut-n-paste curating?

[wiggs]

18. Good question...and add why dem leaders, pundits, and DOJ haven't mentioned much. nt

[dchill]

20. You are the man, Seth!

Hell, you were the man 8 months ago.

[Grasswire2]

33. yep

When Rep. Liz Cheney uttered the words citing "war room, Willard Hotel" in her statement on the floor of Congress.... these words immediately came to my mind:

"Seth Abramson."

Those following him have known about the meetings for months.

[triron]

28. I still ask: Where is MSM? Where is Garland? Where are our Senators?

May be too late.

[lagomorph777]

29. Are they even reporting it now?

[triron]

32. Seems no one but Nicole Wallace on 'Deadline WH'
