The events of Jan. 6, 2021, are as horrific in retrospect as they were the day they happened. And the coverup of the motives, planning and execution of that insidious attack has been as sinister as it is ongoing. The nation endured an ugly assault by the forces of evil and ignorance, and those involved need to be held accountable. The facts must be discovered, and the truth aired, no matter where they reach or who they touch.

We wish to call out for praise the Republicans on the Select Committee, who unlike their colleagues in the GOP have chosen statesmanship over power and principle over privilege. They are dedicated to doing what’s right and what’s necessary and we thank them for making that choice.

May their efforts achieve a just and equitable end and may those who threatened our democracy feel the full impact of the law!
