Let the Senate trial proceed. There is now a significant chance he might get convicted there. mcCONnell would like to see him dry up and disappear, or at least purged from the party. Even if not convicted, tRump is likely to get more than a couple of Republicons vote against him.
That's what we call "a good start".
We know the rioters had inside help and outside help. Handle it like an organized crime investigation. Work your way up. It is a deep conspiracy and the upper layers have tried to handle it all by a wink and a nod, but fundamentally the tRump Gang are amateurs so there will be evidence.
Blocking the National Guards was enabled by installation of civilian minions at Defense Department, which was enabled by firing Esper Nov 9, who had stood up to tRump in June.
We know that Caldwell coordinated with someone inside the Capitol with knowledge of movements. He texted "Inside" and then got a message telling him lawmakers were in the tunnels and gave him explicit directions.
Work it.

My daughter did too. She means well, but she treats me like a child sometimes.

We now have Americans wearing T-shirts with "I'd rather be a Russian than a Democrat" on them.

I feel the same way when I see those T-shirts. The ignorance of these people is breathtaking.

Rats! I missed "A Wrinkle in Time." For me it was reading "Animal Farm" and "1984."

The only unthinkable thing, is that it's even a question. Of course he should face charges.
