Finished reading the January 6 Report

Three weeks ago, before my bout with gastrointestinal bleeding, I ordered from Amazon a copy of the January 6 Committee Report (never read it before) and a copy of Rise and Fall of the Third Reich (read it a century ago in grad school).

Started working on the Jan 6 Report, wife brought it to me in hospital, brought it home, finished last week and started on Rise and Fall.

I'm about 1/4 of the way into Rise and Fall and it's scary -- I can't tell the difference between Rise of the Third Reich and the events of and leading up to Jan 6!!!!!!!!

yeah, it's bad. worse than i ever imagined it would or could be while growing up.

i have the Jan 6 report but am slogging through Obama's book first. I think the Mueller Report took me a close to a year to finish, because I read a bunch of detective/crime/forensic novels in between.

I was working with my pal on his farm and we spent a lot of time listening to the news of investigations on the 2016 election. I told him what I thought was going on and would come to light, including the epstein events, he told me about the foreign oligarchs he encounters in his travels. Everything I told him is now coming to pass. I am not surprised and do I expect him and his mafia to go down hard.
