Take the time to get all the facts, follow the money, interview witnesses, and build a case through the tedious, meticulous work typical of sound investigations. The truth will emerge. I hope the 911 style investigation focuses on locating the institutional blind spots we have in identifying the domestic threats to our democracy.

Politically, it’s time to move on. The past week has been pitiful in MSM coverage of the Biden administration’s efforts at recovery from the carnage of the past 4 years. Let’s hope for better. Sadly I suspect tomorrow’s White House presser will include a question concerning Biden’s thoughts on today’s verdict. It’s been disappointing to hear questions about the trial at every presser and I hope Jen Psaki, says “no comment “ to any and all such questions. If I were her,I would give a “time out “ to anyone who can’t let it go.

I don't think anyone was really expecting a 67-33 vote...the 57-43 was a blowout. The Republicans made up their minds way back to acquit based solely around political positioning.

Some things never change...
