| Jan. 6 report blames Trump, aims to prevent return to power |
| 2022-12-25 |
| [An Nahar] A massive final report released by the House Jan. 6 committee late Thursday places the blame for the 2021 Capitol insurrection on one person: former President Donald Trump ...dictatorial for repealing some (but not all) of the diktats of his predecessor, misogynistic because he likes pretty girls, homophobic because he doesn't think gender bending should be mandatory, truly a man for all seasons...... The dense, 814-page document details the findings of the panel's 18-month investigation, drawing on more than 1,000 witness interviews and more than a million pages of source material. The committee found a "multi-part conspiracy" orchestrated by Trump and his closest allies, all with the aim of overturning his 2020 election defeat. By laying out the extraordinary details — his pressure on states, federal officials and Vice President Mike Pence — the committee of seven Democrats and two Republicans says it is trying to prevent anything similar from ever happening again. |

| #8 There would be no committee and no report if Trump would only have promised them he wouldn't run in 2024. But they're afraid of him and so they will do anything, anything, to keep him from getting elected again. The fact that they're that badly scared tells me all I need to know. |

| #6 being mistreated from a legal perspective. Ah'm reminded of the Chicago 7 handful of rowdies. The public judicial review of their antics forced a national conversation which resulted in a number of positive changes. |

| #4 The poor bastids who exposed themselves to state fascism on Jan 6 are being mistreated from a legal perspective. Do I look to any of that sort to save the nation? No. |

| #3 "these dead shall not have died in vain – that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom – and that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth.” The US's convulsive period of reckoning echoes the civil war - opinion |
