Do the American people deserve to know what happened on January 6th?

Is it OK to simply cover it up?

The Capitol, the symbol of our democracy, was attacked. It was not a tour. It was not a peaceful protest. It was an attack.

Do the people have a right to know who was responsible?

That seems to be the basic argument.

Some want to know the truth and some want to cover it up.

Should those that attacked our Capitol be held accountable?

Is it worth fighting for?

and the why and the who. There are many others, however, that will believe any lie
and there may be some of them that will accept the truth so yes, bring it on! Besides,
at this time we're depending on the Rule Of Law and that means truthful evidence
that will hold up in court. The truth is definitely a win-win for us.

You forgot to identify the last two sentences of your op as snark...

I do not believe we are taking this serious enough. The fact that so many do not find these actions reprehensible shows how long we have sat in warming water.

If we don't investigate, pursue and hold those accountable and responsible for the planning, those that took part, and those that abetted the insurrectionists in their attempt hijacking of democracy, we are just as complicate. And if not, they'll be back better prepared next time.

And some do not believe they will be held accountable.

I am trying to unite those two sides to believe that they should be held accountable.
