  3. Hunter Walker was in the crowd on Jan. 6, 2021, to cover outgoing President Donald Trump's rally. He writes for Talking Points Memo about his memories of the day. "January 6 was, for me, the moment we lost the plot. It was a milestone in the erosion of our core values. It left Trump’s violent authoritarian movement emboldened and able to continue onward. The gates were forced open."

  4. EDITORIAL: Trump cannot evade the reality of the Jan. 6 Capitol insurrection

    'After five years, Trump may try to cover his tracks, and his allies may help his effort to blur reality. But Jan. 6 remains today what it was when the House impeached him with bipartisan votes for inciting an insurrection'

  6. "WASHINGTON (AP) — Approaching the fifth anniversary of the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the Capitol, the official plaque honoring the police who defended democracy that day is nowhere to be found.

    "It’s not on display at the Capitol, as is required by law. Its whereabouts aren’t publicly known, though it’s believed to be in storage."

  7. Over the weekend, conservative outlet The Blaze released a story that claimed to identify the Jan. 6 attempted pipe bomber as a former Capitol Police officer who later joined the CIA. It was grist to the mill for right wingers who have long believed that the laying of the bombs was an inside job. But now, the story is falling apart. @TheBulwark explains the full story.

  8. Two U.S. federal prosecutors have been put on leave after they filed a legal brief which used the words "mob of rioters" in reference to the Jan. 6 Capitol attack. Carlos Valdivia and Samuel White had filed a sentencing memorandum in the case of Taylor Taranto, a pardoned Capitol rioter who was facing separate charges related to a June 2023 arrest near former President Barack Obama's home. Taranto is set to be sentenced on Thursday and the Justice Department plans to recommend he serve 27 months in prison.

  9. See the man circled here? That's E.J. Antoni, Trump's Bureau of Labor Statistics nominee, walking through a crowd of Capitol rioters.

    We've got an archive of 500+ Parler videos taken during Jan. 6. You can spot Antoni starting at around 1:41 here: projects.propublica.org/parler

  10. I've always found pardons problematic. But Pam recognising that she did do something wrong and deciding to refuse Trump's pardon is respectable.

    Watching the interview, it is clear to me that she is carrying the weight. A pardon will never set her free from that anyway.

  11. Two of 1,500 Capitol rioters have declined their pardons from Donald Trump. Pamela Hemphill told Boise ABC affiliate KIVI: "I broke the law. I pleaded guilty because I was guilty. And we know all of them are guilty." Jason Riddle, who was struggling with alcohol addiction at the time of his arrest for theft of government property and illegal protesting, credited his 90-day sentence and mandatory alcoholic treatment for his "happy and fruitful existence." "I don't need to obsess over a narcissistic bully to feel better about myself," he told @abc: "Trump can shove his pardon up his a**."
