In the television special last week by the House committee investigating insurrection, Lynn Cheney clearly knew what she was talking about. Now Biden won't get a second term. Trump might get a delayed second term, so dysfunctional is our politics, though Cheney made the lay-down case for jail. I predict public opinion polling will show Cheney's competent communication to have moved American opinion slightly against Trump and in favor of his prosecution by the Justice Department.
