This is still the beginning of the fight. Call it round One, or maybe round 3. There will be revelations pouring out from the investigations of how the Oath Keepers were organized prior to and coordinated on the day as well as the pattern of preparation by Trump's staff and Campaign committee. Key communications will be tracked down and cross referenced, and payments from the committee and other groups checked and cross-referenced. These leads will be pursued by the agencies and federal prosecutors best suited to bring legal penalties to bear. Those are the kind meant to keep criminals off the street, off the TV and off of twitter.
Meanwhile there is much to be said and the Lincoln Project has shown us the way to do it. The thugs want us looking the other way so they can change the agenda. I think the next step is campaign style publicity focused on placing blame exactly where it belongs in the public consciousness. The GOP tried to underwrite Trump's Coup. I think NOW is the time to call them traitors to their faces. And I think we keep doing that from now until 2022.
