Aquilino Gonell: ‘I Was Nearly Killed on Jan. 6th. Four Years Later, I Feel Betrayed All Over Again.'

I feel betrayed by the Department of Justice for not moving faster and with more purpose to hold accountable those who inspired the riot that day. […] I feel betrayed by the U.S. Supreme Court, which chose to declare presidents criminally immune for all “official acts” even if they threaten our constitutional and democratic institutions. I feel betrayed by those people who claim that they support the rule of law but gladly cheer on the people who violently attacked police officers.

And I feel let down by the members of Congress who turned their backs on us even as we saved their lives. And yes, we saved their lives that day.
