days, 30 of them, into the investigation into the attack on january 6th. now, the question is, who has been insnared by all this and what it could ultimately mean for donald trump and really our nation next. we ll talk more about that in just a few moments. but you can t lose the irony here, the idea that we ve been talking a lot about january 6th, about the election-related lies, about the idea of how the u.s. democracy is in peril because there was not this expectation that was met of a peaceful transition of power. and then you ve got this idea of over across the pond, as they say, the fact that, as they say, no king ever dies. once somebody has passed in the monarchy, the next person is able to take up that position immediately. and it s 2:00 a.m. in scotland right now, and you re looking at this unfold, as live pictures are coming in at the scenes of the very public payment of respect. that to the late queen elizabeth whose coffin lies in rest in st. gi giles cathedral
