42. It doesn't matter.

The real danger that existed during the 1/6 insurrection wasn't with the guy in the bull horns. It was with the armored forces who led the break-in and hunted for Congress people, and the Vice President, to kill. The others were responsible for breaking and entering, and to disrupt the business of the country, but they were not the tip of the spear. Trump led the insurrection. He was trying to hand on to the presidency with every tool he could muster. He used the Proud Boys and the other groups to act as his insurgent army. Whether the DOJ has the courage to prosecute Trump and his subordinates remains to be seen, but it's essential for the nation that the DOJ proceed aggressively with its mission, with no exceptions for those in high office. The nation as a whole demands that the DOJ show no favoritism, no deference to the powerful and the wealthy. All of them must be held to account, or Merrick Garland will fail miserably in HIS mission.
