At least six people who had provided security for Roger Stone entered the Capitol building during the Jan. 6 attack, according to a New York Times investigation. https://t.co/5MuZOUDBLc — PolitiTweet.org

Democrats are still digging layer-by-layer through federal orders and manuals — “bureaucratic archaeology,” in the phrase of Lucas Guttentag, a law professor who helped on Biden’s immigration efforts — in hopes of unearthing buried Trump initiatives. https://t.co/KG43npyxKE — PolitiTweet.org

Biden’s staff was thoughtful about opening moves. They had a mantra: Don’t try to boil the ocean. “You can’t try to do all of the things,” ⁦@cecmunoz⁩, a senior transition official who oversaw domestic executive actions, told ⁦@AnnieLinskey⁩. https://t.co/KG43npyxKE — PolitiTweet.org

After 1/6, Americans know what their Constitution’s Framers knew: In any democracy, domestic fanaticisms always are, potentially, rank weeds that flourish when fertilized by persons who are as unscrupulous as they are prominent. https://t.co/zFk9ahDZMO — PolitiTweet.org

Great point on not calling more witnesses: “They’re still litigating McGahn from Impeachment One a year later,” House impeachment manager Stacey Plaskett notes. — PolitiTweet.org

McConnell says the Senate acquitting Trump “does not condone” anything he did before or on Jan. 6. — PolitiTweet.org

If McConnell actually wanted Trump convicted, he could have made it happen before Jan. 20 and whipped sufficient GOP votes. He is the most powerful and longest serving Republican Senate leader ever. — PolitiTweet.org

McConnell says Trump’s actions on Jan. 6 were a “disgraceful, disgraceful dereliction of duty.” He adds that Trump is “practically and morally responsible for provoking the events of the day.” “There’s no question about it,” says McConnell on the floor, after voting to acquit. — PolitiTweet.org

Ironically after 2016, it was Rubio’s vote that ensured Trump wouldn’t be convicted. He was the 34th no vote. — PolitiTweet.org
