Closing take

The bigger picture on February 3 was ugly for Trump: the attempt to nullify an election was still producing fresh evidence, fresh scrutiny, and fresh fear among the people closest to the scheme. The political hit was not abstract; it was turning into a documented record that prosecutors, lawmakers, and voters could keep using against him.

Story

January 6 panel keeps unspooling Trump’s overturn plan

★★★★☆Fuckup rating 4/5 Serious fuckup

The story on February 3 was not just that the committee was active; it was that the evidence trail kept narrowing the space for Trump’s defenders to pretend this was all loose talk.
