Trump tried to cash in on his attempt to overthrow democracy.

"The nation’s top military officer saw the Jan. 6 attack as similar to the “Reichstag moment” that led to Nazi dictatorship....

Trump himself saw the push to overturn the 2020 election as a financial opportunity, moving to trademark the phrase “Rigged Election.”"

The January 6th committee has released even more of the documents underlying their final report.

That is a LOT of documents to go through.

The Jan. 6 committee's official report website is now live.

It's the same material, but with a sleeker look. The main addition: a nifty interactive timeline of the attack.

Asked by lawmakers this year to describe those who attacked the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, Officer Daniel Hodges of the D.C. police told the House select committee tasked with investigating the insurrection that "it was clear the terrorists perceived themselves to be Christians." https://www.washingtonpost.com/religion/2022/12/29/jan-6-report-christian-nationalism/

"The night before her second interview with the committee, an aide to Meadows called Hutchinson about her former boss: “Mark wants me to let you know that he knows you’re loyal and he knows you’ll do the right thing tomorrow and that you’re going to protect him and the boss.""

It's appalling how much this Trump administration sounded like the mob.

“The absence of accountability is not neutrality, but affirmance: an invitation to wrongdoers to escalate wrongdoing and for others to follow suit.”

The DOJ needs to hold ALL those involved in the #TrumpCoupAttempt accountable.

OUCH! Most people already knew that Maggie Haberman had sold her soul for tweets and likes, but this just puts the nail in her coffin.

"And | said, "Stefan, was that Maggie Haberman asking about my interview?"
...
He said, "Don't worry. Like, Maggie's friendly to us. We'll be fine.""
