   Hartung keeps lying and saying it wasn't, but he knows it was.  There's no   
   other   
   word to describe it.  This wasn't a "riot," and the goal of the    
   nsurrectionists   
   was not merely to vandalize the Capitol.  Their goal was to prevent Congress   
   from certifying the election results — the free, fair and clean election that   
   Biden legitimately won.  They were seeking to prevent Congress from carrying   
   out   
   its constitutionally mandated duty, in order to keep the election loser in   
   office.  Why Trump, who organized and directed and fomented the insurrection,   
   and the insurrectionists thought it would work is a mystery.  It was never   
   going   
   to work.  But that was their goal, beyond rational dispute.   
      
   It was an insurrection.  There is no other term, unless you prefer attempted   
   coup d'état, to describe what they were attempting to do.  They were trying to   
   carry out Trump's wish to subvert the election, and they were doing so   
   violently   
   and illegally.  It was Trump's last ditch effort to remain in office despite   
   having lost the election — the free, fair, clean, no-fraud election.
