Griffin also addressed his actions at the riot during an Otero County, N.M. council meeting on Jan. 14, according to the FBI. He said that he led a group in prayer “outside the Capitol, but up where the president is inaugurated at.”

The hell of it is that the Damn Fools who so love The Donald don't have the sense to realize that when the dust settles they will be the first to be eliminated. No Dictator wants a bunch of independent troublemakers running around.

It looks like McConnell is feeling free to put more distance between him and Trump. Today, he finally stated the obvious:
“The last time the Senate convened, we had just reclaimed the Capitol from violent criminals who tried to stop Congress from doing our duty. The mob was fed lies. They were provoked by the president and other powerful people,”

The stories coming out over the next two weeks will be fascinating. I can hardly wait for Woodward's book this summer.

The plot keeps getting deeper:

"[Trump] wanted us, the United States, to sue one or more of the states directly in the Supreme Court," a former administration official told The [Wall Street] Journal. DOJ officials refused to file the case, determining that there was no legal grounds and that "the federal government had no legal interest in whether Mr. Trump or Mr. Biden won the presidency,"

So states where republicans still hold power are making desperate attempts to rig their electoral systems to keep republicans in power. This is a party that knows it's out the door unless it can maintain it's grip on power, by any means necessary.
It's the same old playbook, voter suppression through reduced early and mail in voting, new voter ID laws, etc. While most are framing it as an attempt to ensure election integrity, some, like republican board of elections member Alice O'Lenick in Atlanta, are saying the quiet part out loud - They don’t have to change all of them, but they’ve got to change the major parts of them so that we at least have a shot at winning.
State republicans push new voting restrictions after trump's loss
republicans strategize for next election: 'Their plan is to make it harder for voters to participate'
The republican party is in it's death throes, and good riddance I say, but where it still holds power there is still danger to democracy. You want to have a conservative party, that's fine, but not this group of fanatical extremists. They've been quietly consolidating their stranglehold on US politics for decades with initiatives like red map, it's going to take a lot more than 1 presidential election to get them all out.
