From CNS News, according to NBC, the January 6th Inquisition Committee "has some work to do" due to the decline in the belief that then-President Trump was responsible for the Capitol riot.  (In a way, I would agree.  In my opinion, the Committee needs to investigate if Trump offered National Guard troops to protect the Capitol; if and why Speaker Pelosi (D-Cal) and or D.C.
