Peggy Noonan: “These are the reasons what happened on 1/6 can’t be allowed to become normal. One way to discourage that is to see that all involved pay a steep practical and reputational price—public exposure, shame and, when a crime can be proved, prison time. To determine who deserves this requires investigation.”

“Indignation is a form of loyalty. You protect the things you love.”

She concludes: “Nail this story down. Nail everyone involved. Then, and only then, move on.”

Did someone have a gun pointed at her head or something?

That's unusually sensible, coming from Peggy.
