Don Moynihan writing on his substack:

The blame largely lies with Republican political leaders. Mitch McConnell punted on ending the career of a guy he detests. Kevin McCarthy decided to resurrect Trump out of pure self-interest. John Roberts and other Republicans on the Supreme Court extended a measure of retroactive legitimacy for Trump’s actions leading up to Jan. 6.

McConnell laid the blame for Jan. 6 squarely at the feet of Trump. In private, he said things like: “If this isn’t impeachable, I don’t know what is” and indicated he expected bipartisan support for a vote to convict Trump.

Donald Trump never faced any consequences for January 6th wasn’t incompetence. It was inconvenience. Everyone in Congress knew what happened on that day - no one was willing to confront the the truth and the fallout.

Let us not forgot all of government officials who sided with the insurrectionists.
