Republican donors are suing to get their money back, claiming to have been cheated by use of false claims of voter fraud to raise "campaign" money.
The FBI is investigating hundreds of people who participated in attacking the Capitol. Some are already facing charges of preparing to overthrow the government (sedition). Others will face such charges if the FBI finds evidence to charge them.
Some Texas Republican politicians now advocate secession.
After so much waving of Confederate flags, it does not surprise me that the white-supremacist lunatic wing of the Republican party now advocates imitating it.
Part of me hopes that Texas declares secession, because that would be grounds to prosecute those officials and imprison them for many years.
Part of me hopes we allow them to separate a part of Texas, containing the non-urban mainly-white areas of Texas, and secede with it. Perhaps some of the small, rural US states will follow them. Good riddance to their electoral college votes and their seats in the US Senate!
