Like many others in despair at the start of the Trump regime, I searched my mind to discern the ultimate governmental backstop against the expected depredations that Trump would inflict on the traditional American political ethic. I felt that only the courts and the Dept. of Justice had enough backbone to prevent full-blown autocracy from metastasizing in our government. However, the appointment of AG Wm. Barr and the raft of federal judgeship appointees only deepened my depression.

Now the J6 hearings have brightened my feelings by revealing the integrity of the late inning DOJ leadership in the hour of their greatest challenge.

I wish I could believe that Trump has enough humanity in him to be absolutely terrified by what these revelations will hopefully do to the midterm elections and any plans he may have to run again in 2024. According to at least one poll, a majority of Americans want him prosecuted.

Right now I'm hoping Garland will, but there are already several states that look promising.

These revealing hearings remind me of the famous 50s TV show "This Is Your Life", hosted by Ralph Edwards. Digging deep, telling the whole story with all the important supporting cast. Yes, Donald is the center of attention one more time. The final acts should be in state and federal courts.
