Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse (D-R.I.) appeared to signal toward former President Trump and his allies when he encouraged Garland to “look upstream” to individuals not physically at the Capitol on Jan. 6.
“In the same way that, in a drug case, you would look upstream from the street dealers to try to find the kingpins and that you will not rule out investigation of funders, organizers, ringleaders, or aiders and abettors who were not present in the Capitol,” Whitehouse said.
The exchange underscored how Trump loomed over the hearing, even though Garland and senators rarely mentioned him by name. - Senator Whitehouse is a former prosecutor and he chose his words very carefully...The rag-tag bums who have no clue what's in the U.S. Constitution followed Trump's instruction to march to the Capitol to "take back our country" were funded/organized by "higher-ups" who took advantage of their ignorance.
