I think several things are at play:

1. As more details emerge, the less culpable the President seems.

2. Related to Point #1, everyone is now calmed down from the initial stampede encouraged by the Enemedia.

3. Polling data and the threat of a possible exodus of GOP voters probably has them looking to cover their asses.

4. The Chief Justice, no fan of The Donald, has apparently signaled that he doesn't want preside over such a farce--especially when it is constitutionally dubious.

“As details emerge”? Emerge? Wouldn’t it be a novel idea if people actually LISTENED to Trump’s speech on the 6th? Trump used the word,”peacefully.”

Part II for the intellectually unwashed: Antifa rushed the capitol while Trump was STILL SPEAKING.

Republicans should be in the face’s of the lying press and democrats. Instead, crickets.
