I am contemplating why: "when the Capitol was under attack and the next three people in the line of succession to the presidency were all inside the besieged building." TFG was filming a video outside the WH.

Because he could. He is all about staging and showmanship. It's all a play and he wants to be the lead...forever. TFG would have been fine with the Capitol literally going up in flames burning to a cinder all it's inhabitants. Does anyone really think he would care about a line of succession?

And he is a coward. So he would have had assurances from the Secret Service that he was in a safe place. (as Michael Sanchez already described)

Just the fact that the President of the United States stood by for hours while our Capitol (filled with OUR government leaders) was under attack - filmed for the world to see - should have been enough to arrest him the very next day. But certainly, it should have happened no later than January 21.

What more evidence is needed? I just don't get it. I just don't.

Merrick Garland, a fine man, a good judge who would likely have been great on the Court, needs to realize he put aside his black robes and stop acting like an Appeals Court Judge. He has to indict Trump before Trump announces he's running for re-election. Once that happens, it will be impossible. He can't sit back and fiddle while Rome burns, waiting for the 1/6 Committee to make their report. As numerous former Federal prosecutors have noted, there is more than enough evidence out there now at hand to indict Trump. The Justice Department opened their case against John Gotti with less. I am really afraid that the wrong Good Man is sitting in the Attorney General's office. In the meantime, Trump continues to subvert the government, to destroy the basis of our constitutional republic, and to reveal himself every day as the greatest threat this country has ever face, including the Civil War.
