It's revealing that in the right-wing and Greenwaldian revisionism of #Jan6, the focus is entirely on the mishandling of the event by Capitol Police (fair enough) and the misreporting involving Sicknick (which resulted from reports from the CP, along with typical liberal bias).
The focus is off Trump himself—but also off the financial infrastructure that made the #Jan6 possible: the hundreds of millions that flew into Trump/GOP coffers *after* the election had been lost, and the untold millions that went to the grift-squad.
Not to be cruel to the Proud Boys and Oath Keepers...but they aren't the sharpest knives in the drawer. The idea that they came up with the #Jan6 scheme on their own is absurd. They were "going with the flow" of the MAGA movement—and clearly indidvuals go rich off the fiasco.
If this is, in fact, "the largest federal investigation in U.S. history," then just arresting a bunch of buffoons and goons is frankly immoral. The puppet-masters are more important than puppets. Toys don't walk around on their own.
With the exception of Greenwald, the people engaging in #Jan6 revisionism are either Alt-Lite grifters or one or two steps removed from such people. They have a clear incentive to muddy the waters, deny what took place, or take the spotlight off the funding.
Put simply, Trump and the grifters lied, and people died (or had their lives irreparably damaged). True justice would involve making the former group pay for their deceit.
