Opinion | BarbMcQuade: The DOJ has charged more than 500 defendants who were at the Capitol on Jan. 6. Absent from the list of defendants are those who organized the attack. To use Officer Dunn’s analogy: No one has been charged for hiring the hitmen.

near the White House, where he exhorted the crowd to “save our democracy” and to “fight” and said it was “up to Congress to confront this egregious assault on our democracy.” He even suggested going to the Capitol:

“And after this, we’re going to walk down, and I’ll be there with you. ... We’re going to walk down to the Capitol, and we’re going to cheer on our brave senators and congressmen and women, and we’re probably not going to be cheering so much for some of them. Because you’ll never take back our country with weakness. You have to show strength, and you have to be strong.

Was this simply a passionate crowd that got caught up in the hysteria, or was there an organized attempt to thwart Congress’ work? We need to know if he discussed a concerted effort to disrupt the vote count with his advisers and associates. We need to know if he did so to hold onto the presidency. Moreover, was this simply a passionate crowd that got caught up in the hysteria, or was there an organized attempt to thwart Congress’ work? Who funded travel to Washington for individuals and groups who planned to commit acts of violence? These people didn’t show up in Washington spontaneously.

We also need to know why it took so long for the National Guard to respond. And perhaps most crucially: Why didAll of these questions need answers to paint a full picture of not only what happened at the Capitol but why it happened, so we can prevent it from ever occurring again. Like Jane Bashara, we deserve to see accountability not just for the hitmen, but for the people who first thought to put a hit out on Congress in the first place.

BarbMcQuade Why haven’t they arrested Trump for calling the hit? Especially when he is continuing to do so. Has anyone noticed the content of his ongoing rallies? He should be cuffed on the stage. Freedom of speech is one thing but you are accountable for what you say. He’s calling the hit.

BarbMcQuade This is the question that needs to be answered since the street perps are on film and easily identifiable. Why doesn’t the Select Committee subpoena these known individuals and ask them the question ?

BarbMcQuade Qanon is alive and well in this comment section. Hilarious

BarbMcQuade And this why some of us are disappointed in the Garland DOJ. Not a single planner, organizer or funder of the insurrection has been charged. Yet the GOP has had sufficient time to introduce hundreds of pcs of voter suppression legislation.

BarbMcQuade 500 hired guns and dupes. Time to go after the masterminds.

mehdirhasan BarbMcQuade Not to mention the “leaders” continue to spread the lies and misinformation that led their followers there that day. They continue to incite with their words.

BarbMcQuade That's not how it works.

BarbMcQuade رأى محمد قاسم أحلامًا كثيرة حول كيفية قيام الإسلام والأمة الإسلامية من جديد. كيف سيحدث هذا ، وما الذي يجب القيام به للوصول إلى هناك؟ يزعم كثير من الناس أنه الإمام المهدي.

BarbMcQuade The 'hitman' has mob support

BarbMcQuade WhereIsAliAlexander

UROCKlive1 BarbMcQuade It is already clear that the Capitol attack was of a piece with the efforts to pressure DOJ to make false statements, to have state election officials 'find votes' and GOP legislators to decertify. It was an attempted coup to install a dictator. We need the whole truth.

BarbMcQuade Why is MSNBC running the insurrection supporter My Pillow guy commercials? Either you support democracy or you don’t. Looks like you don’t.

BarbMcQuade Get the funders

BarbMcQuade Trump didn’t “suggest” people to go to the Capitol he told them to go and that he was going with them.

BarbMcQuade Who is to be charged for keeping the security there weak even though plans by extremists were known about?
