You have documented many parts very well. Except I would say that you've not covered the "religious" aspect of it well enough for readers to truly grasp the danger we are in. It is safe to say that to some extent the church has been corrupted. I personally dont believe all involved knew, or know of the expected results of the plans of those eager to steal our govt. But they follow the leader for even a single reason, and apparently for a long time now have directly or indirectly advised congregations on whom to vote for. If I had faith left in any area of our govt., even though it's all pretty terrifying I would not be terrified. But with the release of the J6 comm report it's clear to me that elected officials think its ok to carry on with business as usual. Ommittimg or otherwise protecting those in the ultra privileged classes from the report. They were my last hope. DOJ is clearly not doing what many Americans believe they are, or say they do as a cover to do nothing to save us.

Thanks for your comment and your commitment to protecting the country from the threats we face. I didn't dive deep into the religious aspect because its outside my expertise. I highly recommend Susan Jacoby's *Age of American Unreason* if you are interested in a really well argued historically articulate deep dive into the links between the far right and evangelicals.

Having a quiet processed focused judge in charge of DOJ looks like it was a wise choice that did not pan out well. Wise because the selection was made to avoid the partisanship of a Bill Barr. Has not panned out well because Garland seems to have demanded so many layers of 'proof' and 'approval' for an indictment that it just adds up to DOJ self censorship.

Bill Barr would have indicted weeks after any of the myriad crimes in the crime spree. Likely, without justification. The Durham side show and the overlay on the Muller Report is proof of that. To want to avoid that partisanship is good. To do it right and by the book is good. However, if you get stuck in paralysis by analysis while the most dangerous threat to America since 1860 festers and grows, the country is being placed in extreme danger by omission. He is looking increasingly feckless.
