But delusional guys try and fail to violently overthrow the government every day. Yet Trump almost succeeded! - because of all his enablers. Will the Jan 6 committee focus for a public hour on these Trump enablers who knew better but gladly went along for the ride anyway? Will the Department of Justice? The enablers include the House Freedom Caucus, most Senate Republicans, the clown car full of lawyers touting imaginary evidence and legal theories, and all the rest - Bannon, Stone, et al - everybody that refused to testify under oath, or pled the 5th, or sought a pardon. https://reuters.com/world/us/trump-pressure-us-justice-department-be-focus-jan-6-hearing-2022-06-23/ https://news.yahoo.com/trump-ally-dozens-associates-sought-211221826.html And everybody who chose to protect minority rule with a Trumpist Dixiecrat Republican Party built on a foundation of delusional and violent fringe single-issue constituencies. https://www.political-scrapbook.net/2020-minority.html They can refuse the Jan 6 committee and get convicted like Bannon; likewise they can refuse a Federal grand jury and face the consequences, and then perhaps get another chance at their own criminal trial, or in the case of lawyers, before their state bar associations. https://www.msnbc.com/opinion/msnbc-opinion/doj-criminal-probe-targets-trump-garland-should-target-lawyers-n1297500 They all deserve a Franz von Papen award - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Franz_von_Papen So considering Lincoln and Theodore Roosevelt and Eisenhower and even Reagan, who are the real Republicans in Name Only? Trump, like his role model Putin, is obsessed with the Great Man Theory single-handedly changing history, even though America's founders designed the Constitution to prevent one Great Man from being able to run the country. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_man_theory But Trump only failed because of a few humbler men - and women! - who showed greatness in a moment of crisis and changed history. The Jan 6 committee highlighted a few of these Constitution enablers who knew there would be a heavy price to pay, but did far more than their duty anyway. When do they get their due recognition - that constitutional government depends not just on words on parchment but on personal character and courage of leaders and citizens?

Will his lawyers be able to keep him from talking and convicting himself? Were you keeping count of all the Trumpists pleading the 5th to the committee? There were at least 30, but on Oct 13 they only showed Stone, Flynn, Eastman, and Clark. That's a lot of probable criminal activity to refer to the Justice Department. More significant for the long term is what legislation the committee will recommend and whether any of it can get through Congress.

Mike Pence did almost nothing for four years - causing little harm - he praised no foreign dictators, made no money from his office except his salary, and invented no big lies of his own. Too bad he was too willing to be a loyal lieutenant to the Big Liar in Chief. But then in the moment of national crisis he was strong and defied the Big Liar - at great personal risk of harm from the Trumpist lynch mob. That's how he'll be remembered. https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics/jan-6-probe-says-pences-life-was-in-danger-during-capitol-riot-after-he-rejected-trumps-demands-here-are-the-other-takeaways-from-the-hearing/ar-AAYAl28 Of course, if Pence had been president, that national crisis would not have occurred.

Navarro accused the Jan 6 committee of being domestic terrorists. Trump always appeared to view the presidency as a personal entitlement with which he could do what he liked rather than a sacred trust meant to advance and defend the national interest. Why not? That's how he always viewed everything.

He could have pardoned them while president - and didn't. Anyway Trump loyalty goes uphill only, and he issued pardons in return for specific future benefits - favors to to do things, or favors not do do things - Omertà! Just look at poor old Tiger King Joe Exotic. He spent big bucks to buy a pardon - his lawyers stayed at the Trump hotel - https://www.nydailynews.com/snyde/ny-joe-exotic-team-10000-tab-trump-hotel-pardon-20201126-73se3pmflvaktk3krnr5fkzknm-story.html the limousine and hairdresser were ready and taped effusive thanks to Trump - https://www.koco.com/article/joe-exotics-legal-team-absolutely-confident-he-will-receive-presidential-pardon/35248007 but Trump had bigger fish to fry and left him to die in jail from prostate cancer.

Not many cameos at campaign rallies. https://www.foxnews.com/entertainment/joe-exotic-trump-fool-not-pardoning-tiger-king-2-proves-innocence At least his lawyers made out like bandits. As far as that goes, Trump said he'd pay his supporters' legal fees - and didn't. Instead he accumulated $122 million for - Trump! And got the RNC to pay his own legal fees.

But looking over his whole tenure in the White House, it's hard to see how he rises to presidential stature. He could increase his stature by providing full and complete testimony under oath to the Jan 6 committee, and directing his staff to do the same. That would insure his honored place in history.
