The January 6 Report: Findings from the Select Committee to Investigate the Attack on the U.S. Capitol with Reporting, Analysis and Visuals by The New York Times by The January 6th Committee
4.0
I read this for a political book club because that's the kind of nerd I am. I probably would not have made it through if it weren't for talking about it with other people. It is so jammed packed with information that one reader will miss a lot. I enjoyed hearing what other readers picked out.
Lots of legal cases are going to arise from this. Some readers felt it was almost a blueprint to DOJ and other jurisdictions as to who they should go after and try to prosecute.
Parts of this were actually funny, believe it or not. Little digs were inserted into the report, such as some of the comments people in the administration made about Trump behind the scenes or the fact that money raised by "Save America" went to Melania's designer for "strategy consulting."
Will the electorate's mind be changed by this report? I doubt it. People believe what they want to believe. But I do think it will have consequences for many of the people mentioned. I am also glad that this document was created for future generations to study.
I wish there had been a list of all the players and their positions in alphabetical order. Some, but definitely not all, of the people are in the front of the book, and they are in a seemingly random order. Maybe in the order that they are mentioned in the report? But there are a LOT of people in the book, and it is hard to keep them all straight, even after watching a good chunk of the hearings.
