An interesting graphic would be a transparent graphic of the US Capitol with superimposed drawings of all Jan 6 convictions signified by a red dot marking how far they made it. With other dots for unindicted or unidentified. It's hard for me to picture the cumulative impact of the convictions with how many people were there.

You would see an ocean of red outside and inside the building. Outside was where most of the assaults against police officers took place.

I would be interested in the proportion of people that haven't been identified/indicted that appear to have committed a crime that was indicted against another. It would help understand the progress made.

There are huge numbers of people who have not been identified. Over 1100 have been arrested. There are so many more people who could be, especially for attacking police outside the Capitol.

Thank you Jamie. That helps. I didn't realize it was over 1000 already.

The estimate of people at Trump's rally on January 6 was 10,000+ using the lowest of the available estimates with most of those in attendance going to the Capital after the speeches. One would need a very large map or extremely small dots to have it appear as anything other than a red blob.

Fewer got inside. But we would need very small dots.

McConnell has made public little information about his health since he suffered a concussion after a bad fall back in March." - You don't end up hospitalized for days and then go into long term physical therapy for a concussion. It's called a traumatic brain injury. Instead of lying about it right from the start had he chosen to be truthful (yes, I know, this is completely impossible) then all of this could have been easily understood by everyone - he could have said I'm still suffering the after effects of this incident but the good news is that I am well on the path to recovery. The lies, lies, lies about EVERTHING are just exasperating as hell - why not tell the truth EVEN ONCE?
