Investigating the January 6th Insurrection

Rep. Kinzinger makes an excellent point. The narrative that the insurrection was carried out by anyone other than Trump supporters is obvious nonsense, and his logic makes that all the more evident.

Every law-abiding American citizen believes it’s good that the House of Representatives has begun an investigation into the events leading up to and culminating on January 6th at the U.S. Capitol Building.  But keep in mind that the FBI has been beating the snot out of this subject since long before the insurrection finally took place.

This has the potential to be absolutely stunning in its drama; in fact, it really can’t fail to turn out otherwise.  I’m not sure what happened, but I’m fairly sure of what didn’t happen: one thousand crazed thugs with only a loose association with one another, inspired only by the conviction that the election had been stolen, and no coordination from anyone in government, stormed the Capitol in an attempt to overturn the election, in what was the most horrific display of domestic violence since the U.S. Civil War.
