As an onlooker in the UK, as someone with American kin, friends, as someone who knows we owe to America that we are not nazi slaves, that my Jewish father lived to father me, as someone who see that if America is lost, freedom everywhere is lost: I do not understand, I cannot understand, I shall be never understand, WHY you did not prosecute Trump for treason or insurrection, immediately after his coup failed. Instead you leave him, and his supporters, to organise better, and have another go . America has a death wish.

Thank you for your concise distillation of the January 6 report. It’s stark telling is more disturbing in its simplicity.

Your book, On Tyranny, was a book I bought by the dozen. I carried them with me and gave them to friends, neighbors, family, elected leaders, then buying more, and repeating. I have begged for accountability from elected leaders, and ran for office myself and was elected, thinking i could make a difference.

I was at work watching the coup happen. I listened to a client cheer the insurrectionists efforts. I had recently been to DC and spent time in the Capitol and was sickened listening and watching the violence.

All of this has happened in plain sight. Prosecuting the ring leaders must happen. Accountability.

I’ll buy more copies of On Tyranny. People have short attention spans and need reminding.
