The following is an edited version of a recent post which I have sent into a few newspaper reader opinion editors. Please feel free to use and edit to meet your style.

Per the US Attorney's Office regarding the January 6, 2021 insurrection:
"Approximately 718 individuals have pleaded guilty to a variety of federal charges, many of whom faced or will face incarceration at sentencing.
Approximately 213 have pleaded guilty to felonies. Another 505 have pleaded guilty to misdemeanors."
Of course, Donald J. Trump says HE did nothing wrong and if elected HE will pardon all of these adjudicated people. Call me crazy, but that seems to be an affront to all the judges and attorneys who spent time and energy on this. Plus 89 of the felonies relate to assault on law enforcement.
We must hold the former president accountable. The insurrection does not happen if the former president could accept he lost the election.
For all this advocacy for the alleged seditionist, we should take note that 142 presidential historians voted Donald J. Trump the 4th WORST president in US history. Note that seems to run counter to his own chest beating.
