Everyone who was here on January 6 should immediately see what he is doing--what Donald Trump is doing--using conspiracy theories to spin the hard right into a frenzy, and it is despicable for Members of Congress to spread Donald Trump's lies. This is how people get killed, how the seeds of political violence are sowed, and how people lose faith in this democracy. Donald Trump has no regard for that. He would basically rip up parts of our democracy for what he thinks is his own personal gain. Let's speak truthfully. What the FBI did was follow standard practice.
