I didn't see that crowd as very powerful. The police just wasn't prepared. The people who stormed in are being arrested and prosecuted.
A trial without a conviction won't really mean anything to Trump or his base.
Again, to me it's a waste of time. But, I respect your opinion.

There is evidence that the police were
purposely unprepared. Lives of Congress were in real danger from that crowd.
We are lucky not enough Trump loyalists were in place on the state level that the system still worked. If Trump had won, I'm uncertain if four years later that would have been the case.

Agreed. The Democrats need to proceed, and then we will see the outcome. Convicting Trump will depend if the GOP think it will be politically advantageous to continue to support Trump or not. There's very few who put country before party.
