This is a witch hunt to disqualify Trump, period. Next they will say he weighs the same as a duck, so burn him.
Any other President and none of this happens. This is an Obama and Dick Cheney inspired witch hunt. Didn't think so until he came out with his message.
There is no other reason to wait 18 months before investigating Jan 6th. Why in 2022? The US doesn't have the investigatory depth to investigate a former President?
Trump disqualified himself by trying to disrupt a peaceful transfer of power.
Then Republicans wouldn't vote to impeach him and hold him accountable.
I bet McConnell, to the extent that the old crocadile is capable of regret, wishes the rank and files Rs had taken the political hit them and voted to impeach Trump, clearing the way for a candidate without Trump's considerable baggage.
McConnell's silence about what was characterized as a "raid," but involved the seizure of classified documents Trump improperly took from the White House.
He'd already handed over 15 boxes of documents that he was "legally required to leave in the custody of the federal government" this past February:

At the time, Mr. Trump's aides were either preoccupied with helping him overturn the election, trying to stop him or avoiding him."
