BREAKING NEWS: The AP is reporting that the rioters that stormed the Capitol included highly trained ex-military and cops. The Associated Press:
"...a line of men wearing olive-drab helmets and body armor trudged purposefully up the marble stairs in a single-file line, each man holding the jacket collar of the one ahead.
"The formation, known as 'Ranger File,' is standard operating procedure for a combat team that is 'stacking up' to breach a building -- instantly recognizable to any U.S. soldier or Marine who served in Iraq and Afghanistan."

As Republican Liz Cheney explained earlier this week, "The President of the United States summoned this mob, assembled the mob, and lit the flame of this attack. Everything that followed was his doing. None of this would have happened without the President. The President could have immediately and forcefully intervened to stop the violence. He did not.”
The Washington Post editorial board agrees: "The known scale of Mr. Trump’s offense already qualifies him for severe punishment, and the danger he poses to American civic life is too substantial to ignore...The Senate must convict him quickly."
AOC answers back to Republicans belatedly calling for unity: "There can be no unity without accountability."
