(24,210 posts)isn't that what they should do regardless of the risk? It's just that the other members of their party kowtowed to the MAGA cult.
Their risk was no greater than any other committee member.
Police and firefighters do that everyday. Unlike the police in Uvalde who didn't do their job to enter that school and confront the killer. Sure it was risky, even life threatening, but it was their job, their responsibility. They did not live up to their responsibility, their oath.
Police who do risk their lives, often get no mention; maybe a plaque from the city/town, but for the most part, life goes on.
The Jan 6th committee members will get whatever accolades it deserves for a job well done.
If it does bring this Trump insurrectionist movement to a complete halt and identifies all the conspirators and enablers so the DOJ can prosecute them, then they will have done their job, met their responsibilities. If lauded in the history of the USA, then that's a good thing.
