The timing of the report's release may limit its audience. But its purpose is less to be widely read than to serve as an authoritative history of that day
the Capitol, seeking to detain and lynch their political enemies, in a desperate bid to keep their leader in power. Nearly two years have passed, and the legislative session begun then is nearly over. One of its final acts was reckoning with what happened on that day.
After brief flickers of conscience over Mr Trump’s conduct, many Republicans reverted to a kind of know-nothingism about what happened on January 6th. The task of the committee has been to force them—and the country—to confront it. What happened that day was not the unfortunate result of a spontaneous riot gone wrong, the committee concludes, but the logical endpoint of a “multi-part conspiracy to overturn the lawful results of the 2020 presidential election”.
Resistance to these schemes by sitting officials, many of them Republicans, scuppered the plan. They debunked the conspiracy theories that Mr Trump tried to foist upon them. “You guys may not be following the internet the way I do,” he huffed.
