We all suspect who was involved, but they probably won't confirm it "for the good of the country." I feel bad for the beat cops at the Capitol because they were placed in an untenable position and were betrayed by their leadership. I'm afraid they'll just be allowed to quietly resign and slink away. I hope that doesn't happen, but that's usually how it goes.
These traitors need to be made an example of and I hope the incoming administration does it. If they're allowed to get away with this now, they'll do it again, and next time it might be a real bloodbath.
