CNN's Jake Tapper uncovers the planning and motivations behind the January 6 insurrection in a new documentary airing Friday at 9 p.m. ET.
He interviews numerous Republicans who were in the White House, in Congress and out in the states, watching in frustration and horror as then-President Donald Trump tried to mount his coup.
What I found most interesting, and disturbing, were their warnings that Trump could be learning from his mistakes and setting the stage to repeat his efforts to steal the election in 2024.
"It looks to me that he has evaluated what went wrong on January 6. Why is it that he wasn't able to steal the election -- who stood in his way?" Republican Rep. Anthony Gonzalez of Ohio told Tapper.
"And he's going methodically, state by state, at races from, you know, state Senate races all the way down to county commissioner races trying to get the people who the Republicans -- the RINOs, in his words -- who stopped this, who stopped him from stealing the election," he said.
Gonzalez, whose parents fled oppression in Cuba, was among the House Republicans who voted to impeach Trump. He's also decided to leave Congress at the end of his term.
The Republicans who supported impeachment and are not retiring all face primary challenges from pro-Trump Republicans.
Tapper asked Wyoming's Rep. Liz Cheney if it will be worth it to lose her job over this. Cheney is one of two Republicans serving on the House committee investigating the insurrection; the other is Rep. Adam Kinzinger of Illinois, who recently announced he is not running for reelection.
"To me, there's not even really a choice or a calculation. It's just what is the right thing here and what has to be done," she said.

Oh, seriously?
Spend 4 years and hundreds of millions of dollars trying to frame a lie about "Russian collusion stealing the 2016" election and then turn around and scream that Trump is "undermining Democracy" by challenging the clearly fraudulent actions in the 2020 election

Babylon Bee? It sure reads like satire.
Liz is finished in Wyoming.
Total Toast.
She may find a place in DC, but I believe those places will become fewer.
She does not have to work, but is paid to be a pain in the A$$.
you mean they aren’t putting out a documentary on Durham/Danchenko and the Clinton mafia?
He voted with Kinzinger and a dozen other Republicans for the Democrats 1.2T pretend infrastructure bill.
