Fam, if Trump and all of the people who organized this are not locked up for what they did, then this was a waste of time. That is the only way this is remembered as something significant. If that orange turd either runs for reelection or wins, then this was nothing and whatever Bs this nation believed about itself will be over.
We're veering close to "Mueller/p*ssy hats/etc will change the world" levels of insanity. Do I think it's possible Trump gets popped by the DOJ? Sure, anyone is possible. Do I expect it? Not really. Which means all the hearings and ratings and hooplah will be worthless. Allowing this man to run for president again would be like giving up democracy. This man has made a mockery of the country, broken systems, and is a clear authoritarian threat. Not to mention the havoc he can set loose by returning to office if the Russia/Ukraine situation is still going. He's gotta go, and if Garland doesn't see that...well it's been fun yall...
To me the smoking gun in all of this is Pence. The pressure that was put on him, and the apparent plans on sidelining him, say a lot about all of this. Him not trusting the Secret Service or wanting to get into the car, this weird situation of him allegedly coordinating with the Joint Chiefs...something was up. I saw someone point back to a tweet from Senator Grassley, where he said he would likely preside over the Jan 6th process since he didn't expect Pence to show up. If there was a deliberate plot to keep Trump in office, one of the major steps would have been to remove or incapacitate the vice president.
