I get it that we all want to move on but as Susan Collins might ask, “hopefully they learn their lesson,” but with no penalties at all what lesson is being learned?

This is where I am - I think you have to hold Trump to account at the very least, probably Don Jr, Guiliani and maybe Cruz. I don’t know enough about what Hawley did/said before this week, but I see he is lumped in with Cruz in most discussions.

But beyond that, I think an olive branch probably is the best course of action for the long term, and it strikes something of a middle ground between accountability and rapprochement
