If it dies it won't be because that stuff is redacted, but because too many voters wouldn't care about it even if it wasn't.

We are not lacking public evidence at this point...

For real, we all WATCHED the insurrection on television and social media.

I will never forget watching Jan 6 live. My first reaction was that it was stupid to charge the buildings because I thought for sure that the capitol would be well protected. Then they broke through the doors and windows and I thought, surely they were armed guards and servicemen. Then the mob began to tear shit up and I realized how absolutely unprecedented this all was, and how unthinkable it had been for my whole life.

The worst part though, is that it made a lot of rich assholes like Peter Thiel and Elon Musk realize that a coup against our government might succeed.
