WASHINGTON — The 845-page final report of the House Committee on Jan. 6, which finally arrived late Thursday night, is an epic. Like "Moby Dick" or "War and Peace," it is destined to be admired more than read.
That's a shame; don't be deterred by the page count. The narrative at the heart of the report — the story of how former President Donald Trump tried to overturn the 2020 presidential election by extralegal means — takes up less than half of the volume. (The rest is mostly footnotes and legal briefs.)
By now, though, most of us are already wondering about the sequel: Will Trump be held legally accountable, just as more than 900 of his followers who stormed the Capitol have been?
