the strategy is to blame people, his advisors called, the crazies, for what donald trump did. this, of course, is nonsense. president trump is a 76-year- old man. he is not an impressionable child. donald trump cannot escape responsibility by being willfully blind. nor can any argument of any kind excuse his behavior during the violent attack on january 6. that is the public narrative, but for the legal case, a congresswoman liz cheney dropped a bombshell. she said that trump tried to call an unnamed witness not yet seen in the hearings. whatever details the committee has on that, they have been turned over to the justice department. the question is, how might that, or any of the new revelations on tuesday, help the doj build a criminal case? among the stunning revelations, the unhinged white house meeting in mid december was screaming, insults, and nearly, apparently, a physical altercation. details on how the infamous tweet by the former president galvanize the right, a
