Most of the key defendants in the January 6th case have been prosecuted and are serving time. But the instigator, whose words clearly convict him, along with the evidence presented in the Congressional hearings, has barely been indicted. The Justice Department could have gotten this to trial and had a sentence before the Supreme Court could have laid plans for its corrupt "executive privilege" ruling. Why that didn't happen is anyone's guess.

If he wins, we can only blame ourselves.
