@horace said in Trump‘s own staff indict Trump:
Yes, Trump's delusional claims of election fraud caused the few loonies to go violate the Capitol after entering through the unguarded doors.
"Existential"? No.
They will forever be known as the people who were afraid of 3 doofusses who took some selfies.

No, they won't. They're safely entrenched in pop cultural ideas. Which are that it was a coup, or an insurrection, and definitely existential.

Good. So how do you sell the 3 doofusses hypothesis to the crowd so it becomes the dominant narrative of popular culture?
I don't. I am not sure it's three doofuses. I think it was a small number, and I think pop culture didn't back it up.

200 arrests so far.
Those 3 doofi clearly brought along their friends and family.

"They took the dramatic step of resigning after they recognized the clear link from Trump's lies to the violent insurrection".
No, I disagree. They took the dramatic step of resigning after they realized it was the obvious move to disassociate themselves from social and political toxicity. Let's not turn it into a morality play, which very obviously it is not. Just like Mr Mattis, way back when.
Future job security, plain and simple.

By all means, increase the number of arrests to prove you're right.

Disorderly conduct court is going to be busy for months.
