You can’t get Trump and his cronies without getting the person running around in the rotunda. Read my post in the January 6th Hearings thread to understand why: > [@Jan 6 Hearings Follow-Along & Commentary Thread (Starts Jun 9, 2022)](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/jan-6-hearings-follow-along-commentary-thread-starts-jun-9-2022/965940/174): > > To date, the DOJ has prosecuted over 800 participants in this far-reaching coup.
