This isn't anywhere near the most important point, but it's *fascinating* to me that neither Acting Secretary Miller nor Chairman Milley seemed to have raised any hackles about taking instructions from Vice President Pence — who's not *anywhere* in the chain of command...
"Donald Trump's conduct... was a supreme violation of his oath of office." Will recommend changes to laws and policies to guard against this happening again, and must because Trumpism hasn't gone away.
Kinzinger: "Laws mean nothing without public servants dedicated to the rule of law." People MUST demand character and truth from our lawmakers or lose our great experiment.
@Jezibaba that's a very good point.

@Jezibaba I'm surprised the Onion didn't have an article on the anniversary about how he finally, a year later, urged his supporters to go home... Or something along those lines.
@Jezibaba
Pottinger experienced resignation, not deification

Pottinger said presidential transitions are always times of national vulnerability. But January 6 hurt national security by giving our enemies a narrative that the US is in decline and our system doesn't work.
