All of these people are now, in varying degrees, viewed by some as "patriots" or "American heroes" because of the light they have recently shed on what went on inside the Trump White House or their recent outspoken opposition to the former guy and they all have one important thing in common: their patriotism and disapproval are LATE and their ealier determination to keep quiet and look the other way enabled the crimes resulting in January 6th.

For differing reasons, each of these former cogs in the Trump machine waited until after it was abundantly clear that "the jig was up"; Trump was not going to stay in power or regain power and "we, the people" were awake AND PISSED.

A couple tried to peddle books.

Some still foolishly harbor political ambitions.

Several are simply trying to atone for their prior silence and inaction.

Some may eventually earn forgiveness, but their belated truth-telling does not earn them entitlement to either "patriot" or "hero".

2. Meh, Hutchinson at a push. Who is "some"?

[quaint]

3. Some did a bit more than know.

Some are astonishingly arrogant.

This is the first laugh I've had today:
"Several are simply typing to atone for their prior silence and inaction."

4. Correction made. Thanks for pointing out my typo. nt

7. Dang. It was an excellent typo.

That's why I saved it.

Apologies if my humor offended.

6. I guess it was all ok until it wasn't. Their principles suck.
