There is nothing showy or preposterous about the work of the House Jan. 6 committee.
Over the course of 10 sessions, a nominally bipartisan group of legislators and their indefatigable staff have presented a sober, methodical case that then-President Donald Trump and an expansive cabal of supporters incited a riot that cost lives and could have upended the results of a free and fair election.
Rational people agree. Anyone who does not is either stupid or lying. Fortunately, polls show that most Americans, regardless of political affiliation, understand that what happened on Jan. 6, 2021, was an attempted coup. Most believe that the attack was planned, not spontaneous, and that Trump bears responsibility.
