'While the courts, and voters in the midterm elections, have reaffirmed the rule of law, a furor over ex-President Donald Trump’s meeting with a White supremacist Holocaust denier is underlining just how fragile it remains,' writes StCollinson | Analysis
Twenty-two months on, a Washington, DC, jury shored up the breaches in the country’s democracy on Tuesday, with a monumental verdict against right-wing insurrectionists. But while the courts – and voters in the midterm elections – have reaffirmed the rule of law, a furor over ex-President Donald Trump’s meeting with a White supremacist Holocaust denier is underlining just how fragile it remains.
“The opposite would have been very bad, I think, not just for the Department of Justice but for incitement and violence – people would have thought that they could have gotten away with it.” Maryland Democratic Rep. Jamie Raskin, who sits on the House select committee investigating the insurrection – which is expected to unveil its final report next month – said the verdicts would solidify the sense of what really happened in the traumatic weeks after the 2020 election.
