The Lawfare Podcast: A January 6 Anniversary

It’s January 6—the second anniversary of the Jan. 6 insurrection. There has been a lot of activity in those two years to account for what happened on that terrible day. To go over it all, Lawfare editor-in-chief Benjamin Wittes sat down with Lawfare executive editor Natalie Orpett and Lawfare senior editors Scott R. Anderson, Quinta Jurecic, and Roger Parloff. They discussed what has been done across the many diverse areas in which we have sought accountability for Jan. 6—to do justice, to tell the story, and to make legal and policy changes to prevent this from ever happening again.

“In the Committee’s hearings, we presented evidence of what ultimately became a multi-part plan to overturn the 2020 Presidential election. That evidence has led to an overriding and straight-forward conclusion: the central cause of January 6th was one man, former President Donald Trump, who many others followed. None of the events of January 6th would have happened without him.”

@lawfare Happy Insurrection Day!!
Best way to celebrate is to let the DoJ know how proud we all are of their utter failure to protect our democracy. On their long-suffering journey to shitcan our 200-year struggle to perfect our union, the people at DoJ prove that the contemporary mediocrity of a few well-placed "prosecutors" can outdo the collective work and brilliance of generations.
CONGRATS MERRICK, JACK, ET AL!
