The attack upon our Capitol had several architects... [View all]

...in the conspiracy to over-throw an election and perpetrate a coup upon the government of the United States.

It is becoming more obvious that there were several people behind the "plan". We now see that former Chief of Staff Mark Meadows was very instrumental in carrying out the conspiracy. Along with Steve Bannon, John Eastman, Jeffrey Clark, Rudy Guiliani, and a few others, that conspired with Donald Trump to keep him in power.

In effect, they created "election fraud" by lying about election fraud. The only fraud that was discovered was the fraud they committed on the American people. The "Big Lie" was the fraud.

It is very tough to prove sedition or conspiracy against the government if everyone refuses to talk.

Also, it is a huge challenge for the Justice Department to charge and prosecute. But, for the sake of our country and our democracy, they must.

The Select Committee is doing the best they can do under the circumstances.

However, if the most they can come up with for this heinous crime against our country is "contempt of Congress", it is not much more than a cover-up for the real crimes.

Justice is the duty of the FBI and the DOJ. They must pull their heads out of the sand and get serious about holding people accountable for attacking our Capitol and threatening the lives of our elected Representatives. Otherwise, they are of little use to the present government.

In the end, it is not a problem of the Democratic Party. It is a problem for the American people. If Democrats and Republicans cannot agree to come together as Americans and protect this nation from such an assault, then we are lost.

We must fight this battle together, as Americans.
