(32,673 posts)Even the little bit we know at this moment is enough: During the attack, tRump was on the phone trying to get more votes to overturn the election. For nearly 2 hours, congressional leaders begged and pleaded for him to send military backup and to tell his seditionists to stand down. He fucking refused. Instead, he sat on his fat ass, glued to the TV... giddy about the violent scene that was unfolding at the Capitol.
The bottom line is that Pence had to break the chain of command to order the National Guard, because trump and the goons he installed at the Pentagon refused to. It can be argued that tRump wanted Pence and every single member of Congress to be killed.
There's no need for a long, drawn out drip drip, IMO.
Get the traitors and patriots on record, quickly, then move on. tRump might be dead long before 2024, so it's nothing to lose sleep over.
