Arrest Trump or just ignore him?

Re “Jan. 6 ‘full picture is coming to light,’ ” Jan. 3

I presume that most Americans, especially those in the news business, agree that Jan. 6, 2021, was the most dramatic and traumatic event of the year, of the decade or even of recent history.

If this event had been directed by another American, that person would have been in jail that very night.

So why hasn’t former President Trump been in jail at all since Jan. 6? For he set the stage and incited an insurrection with the sole purpose of obstructing Congress from carrying out its constitutional duty to certify the transition of power from one elected president to the next.

Why is he still holding rallies and going around saying he did not concede?

I wonder, why are Democrats so scared of Trump? They investigated him relentlessly over Russia, impeached him twice (once even after he lost the election) and are still going after him for Jan. 6.

For goodness sake, the man has lost. He is not the president anymore. Why waste all this energy on him when we have a pandemic, high gas prices and high inflation?

In my opinion, the Democrats are doing nothing good for Americans; they are just doing the opposite of what Trump did. What a waste.

The results of the House committee investigation into Jan. 6 cannot come fast enough. The whole insurrection was based on the false premise, created by Trump, that the 2020 election was stolen. He did this to try to hold onto power.

What I don’t understand is how a twice-impeached president should even have the option to run for president again in the first place. Maybe we need to establish a law against this.
