16. If there had been even a hint of "antifa" or "BLM" . . . .

. . . presence on Jan 6, you can bet that on Jan 7, every Republican in Congress would have demanded and voted for an investigation.

Instead, Republicans blocked an investigation at every turn, which tells us they damn well knew the Jan 6 attempted coup was a Republican plot form the beginning.

On another matter: How about we STOP calling the Jan 6 affair an insurrection or riot or whatever. Jan 6 was an armed coup attempt, plotted and set up months in advance. Call it an attempted coup.

Furthermore, in every other contry where there has been a failed coup, the leaders have suffered one of three fates: (1) execution (sometimes on the spot); (2) arrest and imprisonment for a long time; or, (3) exile. Why are Trump Stone, Bannon, Meadows, Eastman, Clark, and every Republican in Congress still walking around alive and free?
