Reading two articles on "TheDonald" the reddit subdomain they used to plan 1-6

Makes you realize that conclusively tying trump to the attack will take time and lots of squeezing up the chain.



Background of site it's use when planning the attack:

Challenge of tying trump to it...

Snip:

Here are five questions investigators and reporters should be asking:

1. How were Dan Scavino, the White House, and the Trump campaign digital teams tracking The Donald? What analytics tools did they use to monitor the dialogue on the site, and how did they share such information?

2. How did Scavino or others in the White House or campaign communications and digital teams share information with Trump about the discourse on The Donald, particularly after the election and in the weeks leading up to January 6? Did Scavino or anyone else in these positions communicate with Trump regarding the content at The Donald on plans for violence at the Capitol on January 6?

3. What was Trump’s reaction when he was criticized for circulating content from the site?

4. Was anyone with whom Trump regularly communicated or were other close Trump associates in private communication with the most active users or moderators of The Donald to seed new trends, suggest ideas, or otherwise encourage certain actions or behaviors on the site as they had reportedly done during the 2016 election?

5. Did any member of the Trump family, the White House or Trump campaign teams maintain user accounts on The Donald, and what did they post publicly in the weeks after the election?

1. And now: r/the_donald has been banned from Reddit

"This Community was banned for violating rule 1, 2 and 8."

2. I didn't know that. You know they have to be communicating somewhere

Guess someone's figured that out. The last thing I read was that toward the end people were rearing to go again. But some were pissed at trump. Bet FBI has a copy of the program now.
