I'm outraged all over again just reading this. When my book arrives, I'm going to have to fill my Beat wine glass to the top to calm myself while I read the rest of your foreword and start on the actual report (I'm stocked up on wine right now!).

Wow!

First, you are just as eloquent in writing as you are in speaking.

Second, I ordered the book the day after you announced in on The Beat. Hope to be finished with David Corn's American Psychosis before it comes.

What you've written here makes me pray that the Justice Department throws the book at ALL of them, not just Trump but the lawyers and members of Congress (both houses) who "aided and abetted" the attempted coup by their objections of certification, and whatever other actions they may have taken to familiarize the insurrectionists with the layout of the Capitol, the advance planning meetings at the Willard, etc. And yes, 1/6 was not a spur of the moment thing, it was planned, fortunately not well-planned.

Hopefully this and the Magaism we're being subjected to will be virtually eradicated by the time of the 2024 elections, and the right-wing-nuts and so-called chriistian nationalists back to whatever rocks they crawled out from under. The latter certainly never studied comparative religions, or otherwise opened their minds.

And yes, I have followed very closely the 1/6 hearings and the wrap up shows with you, Rachel and the other MSNBC analysts.

Off topic, I also enjoy the Mavericks segments, especially Jeff Goldblum and Cyndi Lauper. You have a very riveting show!!
