“This committee is nearing the end of its work. But as a country, we remain in strange and uncharted waters. We've never had a president of the United States stir up a violent attempt to block the transfer of power. I believe, nearly two years later, this is still a time of reflection and reckoning. If we are to survive as a nation of laws and democracy, this can never happen again.”  -- U.S. Rep. Bennie Thompson, Chair, House January 6 Committee
