The final report from the House Jan. 6 committee is a true gift to the American people.
In its 800-plus pages, the members have given us a cogent, chronological account of the incidents leading up to one of the most shameful events in American history: the storming of the Capitol by violent, misguided supporters of President Donald Trump, operating under the fallacy that he'd won the 2020 election.
Here is proof, for those who missed (or wanted to ignore) the committee's televised hearings, that Trump knew he lost but couldn't bear the humiliation and set about to ensure himself at least another four years in office. Who knows what other horrors he might have visited on our Constitution had his coup succeeded?
