The January 6th Report by David Remnick, The January 6th Committee, Jamie Raskin

5.0

While I didn’t read the entirety of this 1000+ page behemoth, the executive summary really does a job in succinctly telling the story of what happened on that day. There were times when I was listening to this on audio that I had to remind myself that this was an official government investigation of an attempted coup, and not a Tom Clancy novel. The fact that an event like this happened in a time and place where democracy is something we typically take for granted shows just how fragile our institutions really are. the odds of any one of the key players, in particular Trump, facing any sort of legitimate punishment from this seems unlikely, but you never know. At the very least, this investigation and report serves as a historical undertaking of what happened on, and leading up to, one of the most consequential days in our nations history.
