The investigation is meant to find out who knew what, who planned what, and to unearth the conspiracy to attempt to attack Congress. Those people are criminals. Every resource needs to be used, and when names start getting named, people are going to turn on each other even more than they already are. There's a reason the GQP have been trying to blame this on Antifa, or re-write history and claim the domestic terrorists in the building were just on a tourist trip. They're trying to rewrite reality, because the reality is, they staged a failed coup. Whether or not they can hold onto power in a gerrymandered district isn't the point. It's to make people like Josh Hawley know the FBI have his phone records and know what who he was talking to. Who at the Trump White House was talking to the organizers of the 1/6 event, and who was talking to the organizers of the Proud Boys' event on 1/5 (because those are the folks who pre-planned an attack).
It's not just to determine that, even. It's to make sure that the plot is laid out for the public to see and that measures are taken to never, ever let some fascist like Trump to attempt anything like this again. Whoever that might be.
I'm done trying to wait for people too dumb to get vaccinated because Trump told them not to because we should go maskless and do "herd immunity" while he himself got vaccinated. I'm done with the ones that will argue Trump hasn't always been a criminal, or a racist, or that will argue he never lies. Those people cannot be reached, and are busy prepping to die for his little death cult, sad as that might be.
It's the people who just don't normally pay attention, or who are on the fence. The people who just lean left but aren't nearly angry enough that voter suppression efforts are trying to make sure next time, the GOP can just try and declare they won, even when they don't.
I'm not humoring people willing to cause so much unnecessary death, and storm a building to anti-democratically declare themselves in power and murder anyone who opposes them. Or support the people who would. To not stand up now and shout them down is a disservice to this country, its people, and what's right and just real.
Hate to be dramatic about it, but that's really what we're up against now. People determined to lie all the way to their graves, while they charge into them headlong. But before they get there, to award power to people that will make those still living suffer more.
