I agree with everything except your comment that it was possible in 2016 to believe that Trump might be a good president. I think it was very clear back in 2016 - just from listening to him talk - that Trump was not very intelligent. It was also clear - from his treatment of the Polish workers decades ago, from his shenanigans with the signature of his tax preparer, from his bogus Trump “university” (which cost him over $21,000,000 to settle the lawsuits filed by the people he had scammed), and from numerous other misdeeds, that Trump lacked the integrity to be a good president.
Nailed it! What I'm really afraid of is that Jan. 6 was a dress rehearsal for 2024 or 2028. What if Pence had done what Trump told him to do? It would have nullified the popular vote and the Electoral college results. Maybe next time the Vice President WILL do what Pence refused to do. Scary!
Well, I still belive that you are a very talented writer, but......this was a riot not an attack on democracy. There was no involvement with intent to dis-assemble the government, just a bunch of dis-appointed and dis-allusioned who didn't get what they expected.

What a crock! If you believe this Committee is anything about true fact finding, as is apparent by your column, you’ve lost touch with reality.
Beware! There is great danger when you believe everything you think…
