It is natural, and to be expected, for criminals to proclaim their innocence.
No matter if it is a murderer, bank robber, an insurrectionist, or a Congressman, they will proclaim their innocence right up to the execution date. They use victimhood as a crutch.
Yesterday, one of the insurrectionists was proclaiming his innocence. His excuse was that he was not tried by a jury of his "peers". I suppose he thought it would only be a fair trial if he was tried by other insurrectionists, or those that sympathized with them? The jury made short order of the case and found him guilty. He is going to appeal.
The insurrectionists, and the Republican Congress, all used the same meaningless excuse. They were going "to take back their country". The truth of the matter is that they had all become members of a cult and were guilty of a crime. They conspired to overthrow our government.
Naturally, they deny that is the case. Jim Jordan, a Congressman from Ohio, is such a strong denier that he now wants to investigate the investigators. Although he was deep into the conspiracy and acted in a criminal manner.
The supporters of Trump and the insurrectionists do not escape blame. However much they criticize the Democrats and the election process, they were part of the conspiracy. They hide from the truth and make up conspiracy theories to validate their suspicions and to clear their own consciences of any blame.
