    1. There will be more to know about the coup from the House investigation. The committee has gathered more than 30,000 documents and interviewed more than 300 witnesses. Two, three, many John Deans may testify before the cameras. Criminal referrals will probably be made.

      Investigates Claims: I understand they are still investigating to this day as mentioned that there will be more to know, but I doubt the reality will be exposed. Out of all the evidence they've gotten and witnessed I believe there's certainly evidence that can negatively affect the coup from the House, and the government in general. I just believe we will truly never know the whole truth, there are things that they obviously can't bring out to light and they won't.

    2. the committee noted that Meadows sent an email the day before the assault to an unnamed individual “that the national guard would be present to ‘protect pro-Trump people’ and that many more would be available on standby”. From whom would “pro-Trump people” be protected?

      Analysis: I just don't understand what's so special about "pro-Trump people" that only they are privileged to be protected. Is it because they were mainly white? Of course. It is just like every school shooter being protected, every white cop being protected for harming others. That is not normal, everyone has the right to feel safe. We have had too many incidents where authority protects those who harm the most regardless if it's physical or verbal.

    3. after insurrectionists smashed several ground floor windows of the Capitol, the only ones out of 658 they somehow knew were not reinforced, that allowed rioters to pour inside;

      Connection: I agree with my classmate who mentioned this is more than just a citizen attack. I believe the government, the staff from the White House I would say, had something to do with this and were, in fact, involve because I don't think there is just a way citizens would know exactly what window, how were they just not reinforced? The White House just needs maximum MAXIMUM security. It shouldn't be this easy for citizens to break in, especially during elections.

    4. has notably declared that freedom of religion should not apply to Muslims and that the Sandy Hook massacre of 26 people at an elementary school by a deranged shooter occurred because liberals were “kicking God out of the public square”.

      Analysis: This is sickening to hear! How is it possible for someone to be so careless and to even think this way? Freedom of religion is a right EVERYONE deserves! They took 26 innocent lives, those individuals had so much ahead of them and all because of their religion? We as a society and as the future of the country need to work our way up to change all of that.
