“The 1/6 committee delivered a comprehensive case to prosecute Trump and his closest allies. But the committee zoomed in so tightly on Trump that it largely cropped out the other state/federal Republican officials who supported & enabled his plot. My take. https://t.co/yzzCFuRYXi”

@acosta no, not really. It seems he misunderstands the role of the house committee.

@acosta Why not link straight to the story on TheAtlantic.com rather than driving pointless traffic to the bird site? There's nothing of value in that tweet.

The Biggest Takeaway from the January 6 Report

Rather than conducting a large-scale dragnet, the committee zeroed in on the former president.

@acosta Not only is this true, but based on the reports, this was the result Liz Cheney wanted...

@acosta You’re a great reporter Jim, but you aren’t understanding that your audience here is on Mastodon for a reason. Open the article in a web browser, then link it to your toot. Help us keep this beautiful utopia birdsite-free.

@acosta

I imagine the DOJ will pick up where the J6C left off. I envision the DOJ like a cat toying with mice, or perhaps rats.

@acosta Brownstein, like the Committee ignores the role of security services. At best you could accuse FBI and DHS of gross incompetence and failing to hold for instance Chris Wray accountable amounts to an on going threat to National Security. The pentagon’s role needed a closer review though fears that mobilized troops might aid the coup is a convincing rationale for a delayed deployment but one that needs a public airing
