January 20th sits on the calendar like a date with unfinished business. It's the day America permanently changed how presidents leave office, the anniversary of a week when an entire state armed itself against something that left impossible tracks in the snow, and the exact moment a foreign government executed one of the most precisely timed acts of political spite ever recorded. Three stories. One date. None of them end quite the way you'd expect.
