  5. A Year Later, Some Republicans Second-Guess Boycotting the Jan. 6 Panel

    Mostly in private, Republicans loyal to Mr. Trump have complained for months that they have no insight into the inner workings of the committee as it has issued dozens of subpoenas and conducted interviews behind closed doors with hundreds of witnesses.

    But the public display this month of what the panel has learned — including damning evidence against Mr. Trump and his allies — left some Republicans wishing more vocally that Mr. Trump had strong defenders on the panel to try to counter the evidence its investigators dig up.

    Nothing affirms the J6 Committee’s success more than Repuglican regret.

    I applaud both that success as well as Repuglican angst and await further revelations in the full expectation the Committee will amply supply them as Repug leadership desperately hurls chaff while accusing each other of stupidity.

    In ordinary times this might make me less than a good person I suppose but these times are not ordinary; YMMD
