Seth Abramson saying the Grand Bargain Trump story is too big for a platform.

Last evening, he was musing on Twitter about the immense size of the conspiracy to re-order the geo-political world called the Grand Bargain, of which Trump is a part, and how Twitter can't handle it, and a book takes too long to write and publish, etc.

Today I messaged him that a web site could handle it. Could have space for documents, files, text, all of it. I suggested that he would have no trouble finding someone to help him build it gratis.

No one has a better handle on it than Abramson. No one has the creds to do this but him.

Any thoughts?

I'd add that he can use his Twitter feed to announce what he's posting on his site and even link back to Twitter for reader comments if he wants to.do that instead of or along with readers posting comments on his site . A blog style with document links would make his work much more accessible.

The technology lends itself to easy updates by multiple people and the easy addition of links to additional information.

Once the Democratic House convenes and hearings start to yield results, there is going to be a flood of information.

Once the site is up, the bad guys will attempt to hack it.

It will need to notch security and frequent off line backups, off line because the bad guys will go after any on line backups as well as the site.
