let me comment briefly on the Sicknick news, as Glenn (in his characteristically magnanimous and fair-minded fashion) has asked for it washingtonpost.com/local/public-s…

the reason I assumed Sicknick had died due to the Capitol putsch was a) that's what had been reported b) it seemed highly improbable that an otherwise-healthy 42 year old would die of a stroke by *sheer coincidence* after brawling and getting maced
I should note this this evidence is not dispositive. autopsies are not an exact science - 2 different autopsies found 2 different causes of death for George Floyd, for instance nytimes.com/article/george…
but I have no reason to distrust the DC medical examiner. I have to admit at this point I was wrong to assume Sicknick's death was somehow related to the bear spray. I apologize for doing so.
but I didn't call @ggreenwald a "truther" because he raised questions about Sicknick (lots of people did that). I did so because *he cited a deranged right-wing site suggesting a vast liberal conspiracy to cover up what really happened.* this post: revolver.news/2021/02/maga-b… 
it turns out Sicknick was not, in fact, cremated as part of a liberal conspiracy, and the feds were not "hiding the medical report." has Glenn admitted this crack-brained site he outsourced his reporting to was totally wrong? he has not.
instead he is going on Tucker Carlson's white genocide show to gleefully claim victory, carefully ignoring the parts of the story that prove him to be badly in the wrong
