not to mention the brazen attempts to pressure states, specifically Georgia, to "find" enough votes to change the election outcome:

Well we can certainly trust Pro Publica to pick the most peaceful examples, but we don't really need the videos of what happened outside. The White House finally, after being forced, released the internal camera footage. I don't think that shows any coup attempts.
There is also the "pipe bomb" that got memory-holed, and the role of FBI provocateurs that isn't fully explored yet.
I certainly remember the pipe bomb. No memory hole of that: https://www.fbi.gov/video-repository/january-5-pipe-bomb-inv...
FBI provocateurs? Citation?
There were federal personnel among the rioters, but they weren't, to any evidence, either FBI or provocateurs (there were both active-duty military intelligence personnel and at least one DEI agent arrested and charged.)
"FBI provocateurs" seems to be one of the mutually contradictory stories adopted by the MAGA cult (alongside "it was a violent riot -- but by Antifa", "and it was MAGA, but it was peaceful, no different than tourism".)
This was supposed to be "DEA agent", but, you fingers do funny things sometimes.
The FBI has admitted it had 26 informants at the protest.
Nobody has been caught for the pipe bomb and it was barely mentored for 4 years.
It is unacceptable that there have been no arrests for the pipe bombs. Do I think that’s evidence of some sort of deep state cover up “false flag” operation? Nope.
Also there were massive problems with Georgia's election process in 2020, nobody denies that today so why should we keep using the least charitable interpetation possible of Trump's words?
