6. Every politician in Washington knows exactly what happened.

There were GOPers who actively pursued the overthrow of the US government. All of the Congress knows who they are. And they know HOW those traitors tried to overthrow the US government. But the GOP is saying nothing because TOO MANY of their own will be exposed as traitors. So they all remain quiet to protect their party and in doing so, conceal the truth and become accomplices.

Dems know what happened as well. They all know. But their public statements must be obtuse for fear that they could be sued by the GOP without evidentiary proof that the entire GOP is complicit in the insurrection movement. It's a "reasoned approach", but is also devoid of any courage to speak out and expose GOPers for the traitors they are.

Pelosi and Schumer are trying to follow a responsible process. Pelosi will soon announce her rebuttal to the GOP's subservience to Trump by forming an investigative panel of her own. Many of us believe that it's taking too long for the exposure of the nation to the truth, but Pelosi is thinking about the next election cycle, and how the GOP/Trump can be damaged to maximum effect before the 2022 elections. They MUST brand the Trump/GOP as seditionist (even Putin/Russian agents will do-- because it's true.) and make it stick. While the GOP is gloating that they have a gerrymandering advantage, it won't matter if no one votes for them. So the re-branding of the Trump/GOP by the Dems, and by disenchanted Republicans, is essential.
