I kind of feel like the next turn will be having trials with lawyers willing to say "Your ancestors will turn over in their grave, and I'm sure every last Anglo-Saxon one of you has the courage to free these men" and juries willing to do just that.

Some of the media have noted how the officials giving the press conference were quite low down the ladder considering the implications of this case.
No AG or FBI Director present.

Mitch knows that Trump being out there for the next four years stirring the GOP base up ahead of another run in 2024 is ultimately bad for the GOP. Best to wash their hands of him now and spend the next two years acting like the real problem was Trump all along.

Ya, this is just to make 2024 go easier for the GOP and not actually about the national interest.  But at least it is, coincidentally, also good for America.

Quote
In 1956, his family moved to Louisville, Kentucky, where he attended duPont Manual High School. He was an introverted kid who admitted to his mother that he didn’t even have one friend, but he admired the student council president who “had the envy of everyone”. He ran for student government multiple times, including student council president, which initially didn’t succeed. However, during his junior year run, he adopted a strategy of advertising to lowerclassmen and unpopular kids, who greatly outnumbered the popular kids, as well as to flatter the popular kids for good measure. This time, he won. He was now student council president. He described the taste of the respect that comes with holding elected office by saying, “I was hooked.”

Quote
A choice section of an interview with reporter Alec MacGillis, author of a 2014 biography of Mitch McConnell:

Jeff Stein:
If we're trying to be as generous as possible to the McConnell worldview, what's the story McConnell's friends and family would tell in his defense about the narrative of his life? I haven’t really found anything that isn't boilerplate. What is the story they tell you about how he sees his project?

Alec MacGillis:
I spoke to a lot of his friends and close associates for the book, and they had a very hard time answering that question. That was the big last question I would ask them all. And they would be completely flummoxed by it to a really stunning degree — they couldn't come up with an answer to it.

And it really feels harsh to say and hard to confront directly, but it really feels that to him, far more than other politicians, it really has been about simply the rise itself. Winning the next cycle. Staying in power as long as you can. Rising in the leadership ranks to the point where you are the leader of the body.

Jeff Stein:
And these are genuine close friends? People who like him and think he's fun to hang out with?

Alec MacGillis:
If you really press them to define some ideology or political belief of his, they'll fall back on very generic talk about how he loves the country and wants the best for it, and how he believes in “freedom" and “democracy." But it's so generic as to be almost meaningless.

You have to see how he himself portrays his accomplishments and portrays his own career.
There's this shrine for him at the University of Louisville, and it's an extraordinary thing. It's the Mitch McConnell and Elaine Chao [McConnell’s wife] archive. And it's pretty difficult to access.

But in the antechambers of these archives there's this huge exhibit area, a shrine to McConnell and to Chao. And it has all of these exhibits about his life in politics and his career. And virtually all of the exhibits — all the things he chooses to present to the people who come there — are about his races. The high school races. His race in Louisville. His Senate race. His reelection. It's just one race after another. And that's all it is. There's almost nothing in those rooms about what he's actually accomplished in all of those decades in office.

The crazy thing is, if Trump isn't impeached he can and will do another Impeachment Victory Tour within days or weeks and it'll be difficult for corporate America to keep him 'cancelled' if he hires some half decent lawyers.

Just before Pence headed to the Capitol to certify Joe Biden’s victory, the president called the V.P.’s residence in a last-ditch effort to get him to stop the Electoral College count. In that conversation, according to two people briefed on it, Trump told Pence: “You can either go down in history as a patriot, or you can go down in history as a pussy.”

(Image removed from quote.)

We're dicks! We're reckless, arrogant, stupid dicks. And Pence is a pussy. And Donald Trump is an asshole. Pussies don't like dicks, because pussies get fucked by dicks. But dicks also fuck assholes — assholes who just want to shit on everything. Pussies may think they can deal with assholes their way. But the only thing that can fuck an asshole is a dick, with some balls. The problem with dicks is that sometimes they fuck too much or fuck when it isn't appropriate -- and it takes a pussy to show them that. But sometimes, pussies get so full of shit that they become assholes themselves... because pussies are only an inch and a half away from assholes. I don't know much in this crazy, crazy world, but I do know that if you don't let us fuck this asshole, we're going to have our dicks and pussies all covered in shit!

Trump wants to make a statement but the White House is afraid their official accounts will be locked too when they post it.
Tells you much about what he's expected to say

Also, Kushner has pushed back on Trump's idea to open accounts on Gab and Parler after his Twitter ban.
Trump is mostly worried about the 'damage to his brand' this all caused.
