37. Agree with your point, but that's not THE point

I doubt that January 6th will be raised during the gunman's trial. But it should be if only to show how the President is, himself, really no better than the gunman who attempted to murder him.

Trump organized and incited the January 6th riot, refusing to discourage the mob he'd created when that mob started going after Members of Congress to kill them -- especially Democrats -- and also to hang Trump's Vice President, Mike Pence. Now the media is framing the horrors of the story as someone almost breaking through security barriers to murder the president. The irony, of course, is that both crimes are identical --- except January 6th was, of course, much worse and much more damaging to America.
