    In their defense, trump & co were doing their absolute best to flood the media cycle with outrageous shit at the time to intentionally overshadow all of this, and the media was following him like rabid puppies.

    It wasn’t that hard to miss the details of this at the time unless you were obsessively following the stories in side channels (like me), sifting through the bullshit and going down rabbit holes and reading 800 page court filings, and that could fuck up your mental health. Many people didn’t have the time or capacity for that.

    This all happened at the same time as the inquiry into J6, too, which itself was an unprecedented and massive story, overshadowing much of the other treason.

    That whole time period was mentally exhausting. I’m saddened and frustrated many people missed the importance of this story, but I do understand.

      that is true. Doing literally anything when everytime you look at the internet there’s a new article on the tweet he just posted doesn’t exactly help.

      I guess i’m just surprised people aren’t invested into this kind of stuff, considering it’s the most problematic.
