1. Chilling. We didn't realize how bad it could have been.

2. Apparently it all came down to Mike Pence

Someone I can't remember hearing one word from for all four years. Even in the VP debate, not one thing he said was in his own words.

3. Pence, the most unlikely hero of 6/1.

How will this play out in history?

[Justice matters.]

4. A "hero" who knew what the coup plotters were planning for weeks...

and did NOT alert the FBI about their criminal conspiracy?

It's more like "covering up" their "criminal conspiracy" crimes for way too long. The right way would have been to secretly "alert" the FBI he was being pressured by the conspiracists to commit a crime he did NOT want to commit.

5. Truth be told....

He saved the country, trying to save his own ass.

[Justice matters.]

6. Ironically, that's defined as "cover up" in legal parlance.
